Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) CEO Andy Jassy has warned that President Donald Trump's new tariffs on Chinese imports could result in higher prices for consumers, as many of the company's third-party sellers are unlikely to absorb the additional costs.
What Happened: "I understand why, I mean, depending on which country you're in, you don't have 50% extra margin that you can play with," Jassy said in an <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/10/amazon-ceo-andy-jassy-says-he-believes-sellers-will-pass-increased-tariff-costs-on-to-consumers.html">interview</a> with CNBC's Andrew Ross Sorkin on Thursday. "I think they'll try and pass the cost on."
Jassy acknowledged the challenge, saying Amazon has made "strategic forward inventory buys" and is working to renegotiate purchase order terms to soften the blow.

Despite this, some early consumer behavior indicates that shoppers may be preparing for potential price hikes.&nbsp;
"In certain categories, we do see people buying ahead," Jassy noted. "But it's hard to know if it's just an anomaly in the data because it's just a few days, or how long it's going to last."
Why It Matters: Trump's executive order last week imposed steep tariffs — as high as 125% — on Chinese goods while reducing duties for other countries. A large part of Amazon's business relies on third-party sellers — about 60% of products sold on Amazon come from them.

Earlier this week, it was reported that Amazon has started <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/04/44729831/amazon-halts-orders-worth-over-500000-from-china-vietnam-and-other-asian-countries-following-trumps-tariff-plans-report">canceling certain direct import</a> orders for products sourced from Chinese vendors.
Amazon customers are not the only ones who might be affected. Analysts previously predicted that if Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) chooses to pass these additional costs onto customers, iPhone prices could <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44655937/trump-tariffs-could-spike-iphone-prices-to-almost-2300-if-apple-decides-to-pass-on-the-costs-to-buyers">jump by as much as 30% to 40%</a>.
Wendong Zhang of Cornell <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/business/trump-china-tariffs-prices-goods.html">told</a> The New York Times that tariffs could seriously impact the U.S. economy, noting that China provides most of America's smartphones, laptops, game consoles, and toys.
Prices of low-cost items like fast fashion may also rise, as discount retailers like Shein and Temu heavily <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/retail-sales/25/04/44714336/temu-shein-brace-for-impact-as-trumps-tariff-torpedo-blows-up-the-800-loophole">depend on Chinese vendors</a>.

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy Says Trump Tariff Costs Could Hit Consumers As Sellers Pass Them On, Working To Soften The Blow

Renowned macroeconomic expert Nouriel Roubini, also referred to as &#8216;Dr. Doom&#8217; or &#8216;permabear,&#8217; a moniker he earned by correctly predicting the 2008 financial crisis, has a bullish outlook on the U.S. and global economy, defying several Wall Street <a href="https://benzinga.com/news/management/25/04/44717888/jpmorgan-jamie-dimon-warns-recession-now-likely-outcome">forecasts in recent weeks</a>.
What Happened: Speaking with Simon Nixon, the publisher of the Wealth of Nations newsletter at the 10th Delphi Economic Forum in Greece this week, Roubini had a rather optimistic take on the state of the economy, owing to the recent advances in AI, as <a href="https://greekreporter.com/2025/04/10/nouriel-roubini-predicts-global-growth-surge/#">reported</a> by Geek Reporter.
He said &#8220;Artificial intelligence is set to transform a dozen major sectors, propelling economic growth,&#8221; before adding that by the end of this decade &#8220;U.S. growth could hit 4 percent. By the end of the next decade, we might see 6 percent.&#8221;

Saying that he&#8217;s gone from &#8220;Dr. Doom to Dr. Boom,&#8221; Roubini insists that technology will offset <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/11/03/910566/econ-101-protectionism-for-dummies">protectionist policies</a>, and even amid the trade war, the U.S. economy will continue to expand, with that &#8220;growth spilling over to the rest of the world,&#8221; as for the first time in history, &#8220;we're entering a phase of exponential innovation.&#8221;
Roubini says that large companies will not wait for political clarity and that they aren&#8217;t concerned about tariffs. Taking a shot at Donald Trump, he says it won&#8217;t matter even if &#8220;Mickey Mouse is president—the economy will keep growing,&#8221; thanks to the momentum that innovation brings. 
Speaking about the <a href="https://benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44706557/kevin-oleary-calls-eu-tariff-proposal-a-huge-opportunity-for-trump-to-find-an-off-ramp-amid-global-market-volatility">impact of tariffs on Europe</a>, Roubini believes that while the 10% tariff isn&#8217;t ideal, it won&#8217;t &#8220;devastate Europe&#8217;s economy.&#8221; He further predicts that Trump&#8217;s negotiations in this regard would likely involve demands for more defense spending, preferably through U.S. defense contractors, and commitments to purchase more American LNG. 
He, however, believes that negotiations with China will be a lot more fraught since Chinese Premier Xi Jinping &#8220;doesn&#8217;t face elections&#8221; and is thus less likely to blink, preferring to inject a massive fiscal stimulus package, devalue the Yuan, or boost domestic consumption instead.
While he is no fan of Trump&#8217;s trade policies, calling them &#8220;crazy and unfair,&#8221; Roubini does concede that China &#8220;needs to reform its economic model,&#8221; adding that it&#8217;s not just the U.S. demanding change, but &#8220;rest of the world expects it too.&#8221; 
Why It Matters: Roubini has been increasingly vocal over the past couple of days, and just last week referred to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44620056/dr-doom-nouriel-roubini-trumps-liberation-day-tariff-label-is-orwellian-doublespeak-us-playing-with-fire">Trump&#8217;s tariff announcement</a> on &#8216;Liberation Day&#8217; as "literally Orwellian doublespeak."
He later warned that the <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44677685/dr-doom-roubini-warns-markets-delusional-about-fed-rescue-as-trump-xi-jinping-jerome-powell-locked-in-high-stakes-standoff">markets were delusional</a> about the Fed&#8217;s willingness to step in amid escalating trade tensions, describing the situation as a &#8220;three-way game of chicken&#8221; between Trump, Jerome Powell, and Xi Jinping, with Trump being mostly likely to blink first.
Price Action: It has been 9 days since Liberation Day, and the S&amp;P 500 (INDEXSP: .INX) is down 7%, the Nasdaq (INDEXNASDAQ: .IXIC) by 6.8%, and the Global X Artificial Intelligence &amp; Technology ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AIQ#NASDAQ">AIQ</a>) that invests predominantly in AI stocks is down 8.5%, as markets expect a tariff-driven recession.

Dr. Doom Transforms To Dr. Boom, Nouriel Roubini Says Mickey Mouse Could Be US President And 'Economy Will Keep Growing'

Peter Schiff, a well-known economist, took to social media on Thursday to express his views on Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) in the context of the current market conditions. He stated that while Bitcoin emerged from the 2008 financial crisis, the ongoing financial turmoil of 2025 could mark its end. Schiff&#8217;s statement comes amid heightened financial instability and economic challenges.
What Happened: Schiff&#8217;s post on X highlighted his skepticism towards Bitcoin, which he has often criticized in the past. He has previously referred to Bitcoin as a &#8220;digital risk,&#8221; especially during times of economic uncertainty.

<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Bitcoin was born out of the financial crisis of 2008. Ironically, the financial crisis of 2025 will kill it.
&mdash; Peter Schiff (@PeterSchiff) <a href="https://twitter.com/PeterSchiff/status/1910453702449643572?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 10, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
His remarks also coincide with recent discussions on tariff policies and their impact on the economy. Schiff has been vocal about his criticism of Donald Trump&#8216;s tariff strategies, likening them to historical economic blunders.
See Also: <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44749223/trump-affiliated-world-liberty-financial-denies-8-million-ethereum-sell-off-loss" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Trump-Affiliated World Liberty Financial Denies $8 Million Ethereum Sell-Off Loss</a>
Why It Matters: Schiff&#8217;s views mirror a broader skepticism among some economists regarding the stability of cryptocurrencies. In a recent analysis, Schiff labeled Bitcoin as a &#8220;digital risk&#8221; amid tariff concerns, <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44605294/peter-schiff-calls-bitcoin-digital-risk-amid-tariff-fears-if-it-were-truly-digital-gold">questioning its status</a> as &#8220;digital gold.&#8221; 
Schiff&#8217;s critique also ties into his broader economic commentary, where he has compared Trump&#8217;s tariff policies to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44732982/donald-trump-reduced-himself-to-a-paper-tiger-says-peter-schiff-after-comparing-tariff-rollout-and-pause-to-the-hindenburg-of-trial-balloons">infamous Hindenburg disaster</a>, suggesting they expose vulnerabilities in the U.S. economy. 
Furthermore, Schiff has warned against taking investment advice from the Trump family, especially after Eric Trump&#8217;s endorsement of the second-largest cryptocurrency, Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), which saw a significant price drop.
Despite Schiff&#8217;s dire prediction, history tells a different story. According to Bitcoindeaths.com, had an investor put just $100 into Bitcoin each time it was declared &#8220;dead&#8221; — which has happened 429 times to date — they would now be sitting on more than $83 million. The cryptocurrency has repeatedly defied its critics&#8217; obituaries.

Bitcoin's Final Crash? Peter Schiff Predicts 2025 Crisis Will End What 2008 Created

TikTok has reportedly laid off some of its U.S.-based e-commerce governance and experience team, just days after President Donald Trump <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/04/44655624/trumps-tariff-hike-pushes-back-tiktok-us-deal-as-china-opposes-the-sale-extending-the-deadline-for-bytedances-divestment">extended the deadline</a> for parent company ByteDance to divest its U.S. operations.
What Happened: The layoffs affected members of the Governance and Experience team, which handles marketplace safety, seller compliance, and intellectual property protection within TikTok Shop, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tiktok-lays-off-staff-ecommerce-restructuring-2025-4">reported</a> Business Insider, citing five employees at the company.&nbsp;The total number of job cuts is yet unclear.
TikTok's e-commerce unit has been under scrutiny from global leadership after falling short of expectations. In February, top executive Bob Kang criticized the team during an all-hands meeting, and several employees received low performance review scores in March, leading to severance-based exits or performance improvement plans.

This round of layoffs follows earlier cuts in February to TikTok's global trust and safety team, which oversees broader content moderation.
TikTok did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga's</a> request for comments.
Why It Matters: The move coincides with fresh uncertainty about TikTok's future in the U.S. Last week, Trump extended the deadline for ByteDance to divest TikTok, giving the company an additional 75 days. The previous deadline had expired Saturday.
A deal had reportedly been approved by ByteDance, the U.S. government, and new American investors but collapsed after Trump imposed steep new tariffs on Chinese goods, prompting Beijing to withhold approval.

In January, ahead of TikTok's initially proposed ban date, Wall Street analysts <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/tiktok-ban-stock-winners-alternatives-meta-alphabet-youtube-snap-reddit-2025-1">identified</a> three stocks that could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/43072303/mark-zuckerberg-stands-to-gain-from-tiktoks-us-ban-analysis-shows-meta-could-reap-billions-in-ad-revenue">experience significant gains</a>: Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Snap Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNAP#NYSE">SNAP</a>) and Alphabet Inc.

Meta is widely seen as the top contender to benefit from a TikTok ban. Morgan Stanley analysts suggest that the company stands to gain the most, noting that if just 10% of TikTok users in the U.S. shift their screen time to Meta&#8217;s apps, it could boost Meta's 2026 earnings-per-share (EPS) by approximately $0.60—raising its estimate to around $30 per share.
Deutsche Bank analysts see Snap as the company with the most to gain in terms of percentage upside.
YouTube, Alphabet's video platform, also stands to benefit—especially its short-form content segment. Morgan Stanley estimates that if YouTube manages to draw in 10% of TikTok's screen time, it could see an additional $750 million in ad revenue, representing a 2% lift for YouTube's projected 2026 ad revenue. That would equate to a modest 0.3% increase in Alphabet's total advertising income.
Meta holds a strong growth score of 74.91% based on Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings. You can see how it compares to Snap, Alphabet, and other <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">companies by clicking here</a>.

On Thursday, Trump signed legislation nullifying a revised Internal Revenue Service rule that had expanded the definition of &#8220;broker&#8221; to include decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges.
The rule, finalized during former President Joe Biden&#8216;s administration, was criticized by the crypto industry as unworkable for DeFi platforms that lack visibility into user identities. This action fulfills part of Trump&#8217;s campaign promise to be a &#8220;crypto president.&#8221;
The Crypto Fear and Greed Index registered at 21, remaining in &#8220;Fear&#8221; territory for the second consecutive day, significantly down from November&#8217;s yearly high of 88.
Over $297.81 million in crypto positions were liquidated in the past 24 hours, affecting 101,191 traders. The largest single liquidation occurred on Binance&#8217;s ETH-USDT pair, worth $11.85 million, according to CoinGlass.

Analyst Notes:
Analyst Michaël van de Poppe noted the correlation between Yuan strength and Ethereum performance, suggesting a Yuan bounce could improve conditions for altcoins. He added that a decline in Treasury yields and gold prices, alongside dollar weakness, would create favorable conditions for the crypto market.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Tumble As Trump Ups China Tariffs, Scraps IRS Rule In Nod To Crypto Voters: Rising Yuan Could Boost Altcoins, Says Analyst

On Thursday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made notable trades, prominently featuring Tempus AI Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEM#NASDAQ">TEM</a>) and Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>). The trades came as Wall Street <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44744139/wall-street-tumbles-dollar-crashes-gold-hits-record-highs-as-inflation-cools-more-than-predicted-whats-driving-markets-thursday">reversed Wednesday's rally</a> with a sharp selloff, as cooling inflation and hopes for Fed cuts were overshadowed by economic uncertainty and a 145% China tariff announcement by the Trump administration.
The Tempus AI Trade
Ark Invest&#8217;s flagship fund, the ARK Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>), acquired 48,909 shares of Tempus AI Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEM#NASDAQ">TEM</a>), valued at approximately $1.97 million based on the closing price of $40.29.
Tempus AI has been gaining attention for its advancements in AI-driven healthcare solutions. Ark has been trading shares of the company actively. Last week, it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44704064/cathie-wood-loads-up-on-18-2-million-worth-of-nvidia-stock-adds-5-8-million-worth-of-amazon-shares-to-her-shopping-cart-amid-trump-tariff-upheaval">scooped up</a> stock worth $1.74 million.
The Coinbase Trade
In another significant move, ARKK purchased 11,849 shares of Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>), amounting to approximately $2.01 million based on the closing price of $169.62. This acquisition comes at a time when the regulatory landscape for cryptocurrency trading in the U.S. is evolving, potentially making crypto leverage trading <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44739006/crypto-leverage-trading-in-the-us-may-become-more-accessible-heres-why">more accessible</a> to retail investors.
Coinbase, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, has announced plans to introduce a first-of-its-kind perpetual-style product in the U.S. and is also reportedly in talks to acquire crypto derivatives exchange Deribit
Other Key Trades:
<ul>
<li>ARKK bought 135,247 shares of Beam Therapeutics Inc. (BEAM).</li>
<li>ARKG sold 33,500 shares of Repare Therapeutics Inc. (RPTX).</li>
<li>ARKK acquired 191,500 shares of 10X Genomics Inc. (TXG).</li>
</ul>

Cathie Wood's Thursday Plays: Healthcare AI And Crypto — Ark Scoops Up Tempus AI and Coinbase Stock Amid Trump Tariff Crash

National Health Investors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NHI#NYSE">NHI</a>) is a real estate investment trust specializing in sale, leasebacks, joint-ventures, senior housing operating partnerships, and mortgage and mezzanine financing of need-driven and discretionary senior housing and medical investments.
It is set to report its Q1 2025 earnings on May 5. Wall Street analysts expect the company to post EPS of $1.13, up from $1.12 in the prior-year period. According to Benzinga Pro, quarterly revenue is expected to reach $85.13 million, up from $81.51 million a year earlier.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">If You Bought National Health Investors Stock 10 Years Ago</h2>
The company's stock traded at approximately $70.66 per share 10 years ago. If you had invested $10,000, you could have bought roughly 142 shares. Currently, shares trade at $70.20, meaning your investment's value could have declined to $9,935 from stock price depreciation. However, National Health Investors also paid dividends during these 10 years.&nbsp;
National Health Investors' dividend yield is currently 5.04%. Over the last 10 years, it has paid about $38.91 in dividends per share, which means you could have made $5,507 from dividends alone.&nbsp;
Summing up $9,935 and $5,507, we end up with the final value of your investment, which is $15,442. This is how much you could have made if you had invested $10,000 in National Health Investors stock 10 years ago. This means a total return of 54.42%. However, this figure is significantly less than the S&amp;P 500 total return for the same period, which was 193.10%.
Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl"> this is your last chance to become an investor for $0.80 per share.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Could The Next 10 Years Bring?&nbsp;</h2>
National Health Investors has a consensus rating of "Hold" and a price target of $68 based on the ratings of 14 analysts. The price target implies a more than 3% potential downside from the current stock price.
On Feb. 25, the company announced its Q4 2024 earnings, posting FFO of $1.12, compared to the consensus of $1.11, and revenues of $85.75 million, compared to the consensus of $82.67 million, as reported by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43957300/national-health-investors-q4-2024-ffo-1-12-beats-1-11-estimate-sales-85-75m-beat-82-67m-estimate">Benzinga.</a>
&#8220;The fourth quarter results exceeded our internal expectations as fundamentals remain strong throughout the portfolio with continued improvement in EBITDARM coverage trends, year-over-year cash rental income growth of 8.6%, SHOP NOI growth of 12.5%, and positive contributions from acquisitions completed during the year,&#8221; said CEO Eric Mendelsohn.
See Also: If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-private-credit-fund">7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it</a>?
The company provided its full-year 2025 guidance, expecting normalized FFO attributable to common stockholders in the range of $214.7 million to $218.1 million.
Given the expected downside potential, growth-focused investors may not find National Health Investors stock attractive. Conversely, the stock can be a good option for income-focused investors, who can benefit from the company's solid dividend yield of 5.04%.

US Stock Futures Fall, Nikkei Crashes Over 5% As Markets Reel From Trump's Tariff Shock

The U.S. government has spent roughly $40 million in just six weeks to detain fewer than 400 migrants at the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/43350606/trump-pledges-to-send-up-to-30000-migrants-to-guantanamo-bay-detention-facility">Guantánamo Bay</a> Naval Base in Cuba, according to estimates shared by anonymous congressional aides with <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/31/us/politics/migrants-guantanamo-costs.html#">The New York Times</a>. This operation, part of President Donald Trump's broader immigration enforcement efforts, has raised serious concerns among lawmakers, particularly regarding its high cost and military impact.
A Senate delegation visited Guantánamo in late March to assess the mission. The lawmakers toured the facilities, met with service members and officials, and came away highly critical of the effort. Sen. Jack Reed of Rhode Island, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, told The Times that the operation is "extraordinarily expensive and unnecessary," saying those resources could be better used to strengthen existing immigration facilities in the US.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Guantánamo?</h2>
The decision to use Guantánamo Bay, known for housing terrorism suspects, for immigration detention is both logistically complex and financially burdensome. The base is isolated from the rest of Cuba by a minefield and must generate its own electricity and water supply. Supplies are flown or shipped in from Florida. As a result, housing even a small number of people there comes at a steep cost.
Since February, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43882547/dhs-fires-fema-officials-after-deep-state-activists-sent-59m-to-nyc-migrant-hotels-trump-admin-claws-it-back">Department of Homeland Security</a> has transferred about 400 migrants to the base, many of them Venezuelan. Roughly half have since been moved back to the US or deported. At one point, as few as 85 people were being held, even as nearly 1,000 U.S. government employees, mostly military personnel, were assigned to the mission.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Military Involvement Raises Concerns</h2>
Lawmakers are also questioning the use of military resources for a task traditionally handled by civilian immigration authorities. In a joint <a href="https://www.reed.senate.gov/news/releases/after-visiting-guantanamo-bay-senators-blast-trump-admin-for-wasting-taxpayer-dollars-and-misusing-military-resources">statement</a>, Sens. Reed, Jeanne Shaheen, Gary Peters, Alex Padilla, and Angus King said that troops were "rushed to Guantánamo Bay without notice, leaving their critical day-to-day military missions behind in order to build tents that should never be filled and guard immigrants who should never be held there."
The senators emphasized that their concern lies with the mission — not the service members. "Our troops in Guantánamo have a uniquely difficult, demanding job," the statement read, praising their professionalism. Still, the lawmakers argued that using Guantánamo for migrant detention diverts military focus and may even be legally questionable.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Legal and Transparency Questions Remain</h2>
So far, the administration has offered little public explanation about who is being sent to Guantánamo and why. A secret agreement between the Department of Defense and Homeland Security reportedly allows for the transfer of migrants with ties to transnational criminal organizations. However, some individuals sent to the base were only found to have crossed the border illegally — some more than once — but without any known violent criminal history.

According to The Times, the most recent detainees included Nicaraguans described by DHS as "gang members," though the government has not provided supporting details. Questions about the operation's legality and oversight continue to draw scrutiny, particularly from members of Congress who say they've been kept in the dark.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Calls for an End to the Program</h2>
Following their visit, the senators urged the Trump administration to "immediately cease this misguided mission," calling it "unsustainably expensive" and "harmful to our military readiness." Despite their statement, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement transported more migrants to the base just hours after their visit ended.

For now, one thing is clear: the use of this high-security base for a small group of migrants has sparked a heated debate—one likely to continue in the months ahead.

A 'Waste of Resources'? U.S. Spent $40 Million To Hold 400 Migrants At Guantánamo In Just 6 Weeks

<ul>
<li>Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller says he's "a big advocate of stablecoins"</li>
<li>Voicing his support for stablecoin acts like the GENIUS act and the STABLE act, he says he sees no need for the government to develop a coin of its own</li>
<li>"I prefer to let the private sector handle these problems," he told audiences at a NY Fed event</li>
</ul>
Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller said that he's a fan of stablecoins and believes they have a place in the payment system, but does not see the need for the government to adopt one of their own.&nbsp;
"I&#8217;ll say I&#8217;m a personal, big advocate of stablecoins. I have been saying this for over three-plus years now, about how this could bring competition, efficiency and speed into the payments system,&#8221; he told audience members at a conference held by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on Friday, according to <a href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/feds-waller-stablecoins-bring-benefits-payment-system-2025-04-04/">Reuters</a>.&nbsp;

A stablecoin is a type of cryptocurrency that is designed to have a stable price. Their value is attached to that of another asset, like gold or a government-issued currency, in order to maintain a more consistent value. Originally designed to help bridge the gap between traditional finance and cryptocurrencies, there are currently around 200 globally distributed stablecoins on the market.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Recently, two stablecoin-oriented bills have been working their way through Congress. The Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins of 2025, or the <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/394/text/is">GENIUS Act of 2025</a>, and the Stablecoin Transparency and Accountability for a Better Ledger Economy Act of 2025, or the <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/2392/text/ih?overview=closed&amp;format=xml">STABLE Act of 2025</a>, both seek to provide a comprehensive regulatory framework for stablecoins. The difference between the bills lies in their scope and approach, but the passing of either one would increase the chances of Congress passing a law certifying stablecoins as a global financial tool.&nbsp;
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/vatom-adv">Invest in the Future of Digital Engagement. Own a Piece of the $100 Billion Metaverse Today for Just $500.</a>
Thus far, stablecoin legislation has received bipartisan support. But Waller said Friday that he saw no need for the government to create its own stablecoin should either of the bills pass. "I prefer to let the private sector solve these problems,&#8221; Reuters quoted him as saying. &#8220;It&#8217;s not my job as an unelected bureaucrat to tell everybody how they should do things."
As for the concerns that tons of new stablecoins will flood the market should the legislation pass, Waller said watchers shouldn't worry. "I don't think… there's going to be 100 stablecoins circulating after the legislation happens." Though two companies, Tether and Codex, have already indicated that they will make moves to establish their own stablecoins in the US as soon as there are regulations firmly in place, according to the <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/1b3cccad-ad33-4dd9-b2b6-1514f80e39ad">Financial Times</a> and <a href="https://fortune.com/crypto/2025/04/04/codex-seed-round-dragonfly-coinbase-circle-15-8-million/">Fortune</a>.&nbsp;
Waller's stance on crypto aligns with President Donald Trump's, who promised last month to make the US "the crypto capital of the world."&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Referencing Reagan</h2>
To reinforce her message, Pelosi <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44269552/ronald-reagan-warned-that-tariffs-destroy-prosperity-trump-is-doubling-them-anyway-and-now-us-tech-giants-like-apple-and-nvidia-are-bracing-for-impact">quoted Reagan</a>: &#8220;We should beware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends – weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world – all while cynically waving the American flag.&#8221; She added, &#8220;President Reagan's words were true then and they're true today.&#8221;

&#8220;Extreme MAGA Republicans revealed their tax scam to raid Medicaid to give more tax cuts to billionaires,&#8221; she <a href="https://x.com/TeamPelosi/status/1889100925673054462">shared</a> on X. &#8220;But we can stop them!

Pelosi described Republican efforts in Congress as &#8220;unbearable for people on Medicare and Medicaid,&#8221; and called for public pressure to stop the cuts, urging &#8220;outside mobilization.&#8221;
The Trump administration&#8217;s agenda has been stalled in Congress because of internal Republican disagreements on how deep the cuts to Medicaid should go.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Broader Context and Fallout</h2>
The debate over tariffs and spending cuts comes amid other major moves by the Trump administration. A temporary freeze on federal grants and loans has put $3 trillion in funding under review.

The Department of Government Efficiency, headed by Elon Musk, has also begun auditing the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, with Musk claiming there is &#8220;big money fraud&#8221; in the system. The agency is under pressure to cut at least $1 trillion in federal spending.

'Trump's Tariffs Will Drain Retirement Savings, Push Us To The Brink Of Recession,' Says Nancy Pelosi While Quoting Ronald Reagan

You may want that new car. The smell, the shine, the 0% financing—what's not to love?
But Dave Ramsey just reminded everyone why that shiny $72,000 BMW might actually be torching your financial future. In a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/r/16FzUzF3Aa/?mibextid=wwXIfr">viral Facebook post</a>, he dropped a meme featuring Adam Sandler green-screened into a car dealership, shaking his head, saying "No, no, no, don't say that," before punching a wall in frustration. The caption?
"When you're trading in your $72K BMW and the dealer offers you $17K but you still owe $49K on it."

</ul>
And Ramsey didn't stop there. He followed it up with a caption that hits harder than a monthly payment:
"That $72,000 BMW isn't just costing you a car payment. It's costing you your future."
He's not exaggerating. <a href="https://www.experian.com/blogs/ask-experian/average-car-loan-interest-rates-by-credit-score/">According to Experian</a>, the average new car loan now clocks in at $40,927, with monthly payments pushing $734 for 68.4 months. Meanwhile, car values plummet the second you drive off the lot.&nbsp;
"Let me break it down: Open your car window on the way to work once a week and toss out a $100 bill. That's what driving a new car really costs you."
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/vatom-adv">Invest in the Future of Digital Engagement. Own a Piece of the $100 Billion Metaverse Today for Just $500.</a>
He's not just talking about luxury vehicles, either. Even a "reasonable" $28,000 new car will lose around $17,000 in value over four years. That's about $100 a week in pure depreciation—money that vanishes whether you're financing at 7% or zero.
Ramsey's take on 0% interest? Not impressed."Even 0% interest isn't a deal. It's a distraction from the $17K you just lost in depreciation. You didn't get a car. You got taken."
Here's his rule: "No, you can't afford a new car <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44389799/why-dave-ramsey-says-your-typical-millionaire-may-look-just-like-your-next-door-neighbor">unless you are a millionaire</a> and can, therefore, afford to lose thousands of dollars, all in the name of the neat new-car smell."
He's not saying you'll never own a new car. But if dropping tens of thousands without blinking isn't an option, you're not ready for that kind of luxury.&nbsp;
"Until you have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42122576/dave-ramsey-guarantees-if-you-have-a-car-payment-you-will-be-broke-your-whole-life-heres-how-he-says-you-can-become-rich">so much money you can lose big bucks</a> and not notice, you can't afford the luxury."

Want to know what most millionaires drive? It's not a brand-new German badge with 48 payments attached.
"Most millionaires drive two-year-old used cars with no payments—not because they're too cheap to buy new, but because they know how money works."
And that's the real lesson. You might think you're buying freedom, style, status—but if you're not careful, you're buying debt, depreciation, and regret.
So before you fall for the 0% APR pitch, remember what Ramsey said. You didn't get a deal. You got taken.

Dave Ramsey Says If You Want To Know What Driving A New Car Really Costs, 'Open Your Car Window Once A Week And Toss Out A $100 Bill'

BofA Securities analyst Craig Siegenthaler downgraded Cboe Global Markets Inc. (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CBOE#BATS">CBOE</a>) from Buy to Neutral, lowering the price <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CBOE/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">target to $227 from $260</a>.
The analyst noted that while the broader diversified financials sector has declined 10% year-to-date amid the growing tariff dispute, CBOE Global Markets has stood out by delivering a 5% return —outperforming its peers by about 15%.
This strong performance, according to Siegenthaler, is largely attributed to CBOE&#8217;s defensive business model, which tends to benefit during periods of heightened market volatility and increased trading volumes.
However, despite the solid year-to-date gains, the analyst expressed caution going forward.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44738776/versace-goes-prada-capris-big-exit-sparks-fashion-power-shift" rel="noreferrer noopener">Versace Goes Prada: Capri&#8217;s Big Exit Sparks Fashion Power Shift</a>
The stock's recent outperformance has led to a &#8220;higher relative valuation&#8221; compared to peers.
Siegenthaler pointed out that CBOE&#8217;s next 12 months, or NTM price-to-earnings ratio, has increased by 2% so far this year, while the average PE multiple for the broader diversified financials sector has dropped by 13%. As a result, CBOE now appears about 15% more expensive compared to its peers on a relative valuation basis.
The analyst also pointed to potential deceleration in trading volumes during the second half of 2025, which could weigh on future performance.
Siegenthaler writes that the first half of 2025 will likely mark the cyclical peak for exchange volumes, with a significant decline expected in the second half.
The analyst projects a 6% drop in volumes from the first to the second half of the year, and only a 7% year-over-year increase in total options volume for 2H25.
The analyst is especially concerned about the retail trading segment, where participation may fall due to poor investor performance so far this year.
Siegenthaler lowered earnings estimates for the second half of 2025 and the following years.
The new projections are $4.60 for the second half of 2025, $9.89 for 2026, and $11.37 for 2027 — down from previous estimates of $5.07, $11.16, and $12.99, respectively.
CBOE Price Action: CBOE shares closed Thursday up 2.05% to $210.02.

CBOE Loses Its Edge? Analyst Downgrades Stock On Valuation Worries, Volume Slowdown

Goldman Sachs analyst Mark Delaney upgraded BorgWarner Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BWA#NYSE">BWA</a>) from Neutral to Buy, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BWA/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">with a price forecast of $34</a>.
Per Delaney, BorgWarner has a below-average level of U.S. imports, which means it faces relatively limited risk from ongoing or future tariffs.
In contrast to many Western suppliers that have struggled in China due to an unfavorable customer mix, BorgWarner stands out with a stronger positioning in the region.

Around 20% of the company's total revenue comes from China, and approximately 75% is tied to domestic Chinese original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). About 90% of its eProduct business in China is also linked to these domestic OEMs.
Delaney highlighted that BorgWarner's hybrid and internal combustion engine products are expected to have a longer runway, and the company's broad portfolio—which includes products for all powertrain types—positions it well to navigate evolving market trends.
The analyst also highlighted that BorgWarner has a number of upcoming product launches with domestic Chinese auto OEMs, further strengthening its foothold in this key market.
With higher content per vehicle opportunities in both hybrid and battery electric vehicles, BorgWarner is expected to benefit from the rising share of hybrid volumes in the near to medium term.
While its eProduct division is still operating at a loss, the analyst stated that ongoing restructuring efforts, coupled with long-term growth, will help the company move toward profitability.
Price Action: BWA shares closed lower by 4.54% to $25.67 on Thursday.
