Dow Jumps Over 400 Points Amid China Tariff Hopes, Investor Fear Eases: Greed Index Remains In 'Fear' Zone

Germany Current Assessment For April 86.4 Vs. 85.5 Est.; 85.7 Prior

Germany Business Expectations For April 87.4 Vs. 85.0 Est.; 87.7 Prior

International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>) has forecasted a &#8220;minimal&#8221; tariff impact on its business while acknowledging not being &#8220;immune&#8221; to the Department of Government Efficiency-related initiatives during its first quarter earnings call.
What Happened: IBM&#8217;s CFO and Senior Vice President, James Kavanaugh, said that the company was exploring alternatives to mitigate any indirect effects because the direct tariff impact was &#8220;minimal.&#8221;
&#8220;Goods imported to the U.S. represent less than 5% of our overall spend, and under current U.S. tariff policy, the impact to IBM is minimal. While we have limited direct exposure outside the United States, we are tactically evaluating alternative sources and other strategy to mitigate tariffs,&#8221; he said.
Talking about the impact of DOGE-related initiatives, its Chairman, President, and CEO, Arvind Krishna, highlighted that its consulting business was &#8220;susceptible to discretionary pullbacks and DOGE-related initiatives.&#8221;
&#8220;We are not immune from all those activities just like everybody else,&#8221; he said, adding that few of IBM&#8217;s contracts were impacted in the first quarter. &#8220;You expect U.S. AID, where we did some work, was impacted, but not really in most other cases,&#8221; he added.
Additionally, CFO Kavanaugh clarified, &#8220;But our U.S. federal business is less than 5% of IBM&#8217;s total annual revenue. About 60% of that is Consulting, which is more susceptible to discretionary efficiency-type programs.&#8221;
&#8220;So while no one&#8217;s immune, we are absolutely focused on monitoring the dynamic process,&#8221; said the CFO.

Why It Matters: IBM <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44966124/ibm-shares-slide-despite-better-than-expected-q1-details">reported quarterly earnings</a> of $1.60 per share, which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $1.40. Quarterly revenue of $14.54 billion beat the analyst consensus estimate of $14.4 billion.
The company also reported its highest first-quarter free cash flow in many years at $2 billion, driven by revenue growth and productivity initiatives.
IBM sees second-quarter revenue in a range of $16.4 billion to $16.75 billion, versus the $16.33 billion estimate.
Price Action: IBM closed 1.89% higher on Wednesday and slipped 6.96% in after-hours. It has gained 11.61% on a year-to-date basis, whereas it was up 33.34% over a year.
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, rose on Wednesday. The SPY was up 1.55% to $535.42, while the QQQ advanced 2.27% to $454.561, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings shows that IBM had a weaker price trend over the short term, but a stronger price trend over the medium and long term. Its momentum ranking was solid at 87.57th percentile, whereas its value ranking was poor; the details of other metrics are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">available here</a>.

IBM Plays Down Trump Tariff Concerns: DOGE Could Affect Consulting Business, But Its 'US Federal Business Is Less Than 5%,' Says CEO

After a series of destructive tornadoes in Arkansas, residents seeking federal disaster relief were turned down by the President Donald Trump administration. The denial comes in the wake of a larger redirection in disaster recovery policy, with more responsibility being pushed onto states.
What Happened: In March, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/25/03/44359238/severe-storm-system-brings-devastation-at-least-42-dead-power-outages-widespread-damage-reported" target="_blank" rel="noopener">severa</a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/25/03/44359238/severe-storm-system-brings-devastation-at-least-42-dead-power-outages-widespread-damage-reported">l tornadoes devastated Arkansas</a>, leading to more than 40 deaths in several states. Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders requested a major disaster declaration for individual and public assistance in the aftermath. 
However, on April 11, the Trump administration rejected the request, referring to its executive orders that shifted the onus of disaster recovery from the federal government to state and local bodies.
The denial, quoted <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/04/23/weather/trump-denied-disaster-aid-arkansas-tornadoes/index.html">by</a> CNN, stated that "the damage from this event was not of such severity and magnitude as to be beyond the capabilities of the state, affected local governments, and voluntary agencies."

Why It Matters: This decision signals a major shift in how disaster recovery is managed, as states are now expected to endure more of the financial burden. 
Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders <a href="https://governor.arkansas.gov/request-for-presidential-major-disaster-declaration-and-appeal-to-major-disaster-declaration-denial/">appealed the denial</a> on April 18, stressing that in the absence of federal assistance, "Arkansas will face significant challenges in assuming full responsibility and achieving an effective recovery from this event."
Both Trump and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43203763/trump-wants-to-get-rid-of-federal-emergency-agency-its-not-good-he-says-while-visiting-disasters-in-california-north-carolina">stated their intention</a> to abolish FEMA, the agency tasked with allocating billions each year to provide provisional housing and disaster management assistance.

Trump Administration Denies Federal Disaster Aid To Tornado-Stricken Arkansas, Pushing Responsibility To States

Ken Griffin, founder of Citadel hedge fund, has expressed concern over the swift contraction of the market and the deterioration of the U.S.&#8217;s global financial standing, attributing these issues to the <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44913962/donald-trumps-trade-war-jpmorgan-predicts-deals-higher-taxes-and-potential-recession-avoidance">ongoing trade war.</a>
What Happened: Griffin, who is at the helm of the $65 billion hedge fund Citadel LLC, voiced his apprehensions about the current market conditions at the Semafor&#8217;s World Economic Summit on Wednesday. He indicated that the market is shrinking too rapidly to generate substantial returns, stating, &#8220;There are no great opportunities,&#8221; <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ken-griffin-citadel-current-market-advice-tariffs-2025-4">reported </a>Business Insider.
Griffin also underscored the adverse effects of the trade war on the U.S.&#8217;s image as a global financial safe haven. He cautioned that the country&#8217;s brand is in jeopardy, asserting, &#8220;We&#8217;re eroding that brand right now.&#8221; He further lambasted the government&#8217;s trade policies, characterizing them as having &#8220;devolved into a nonsensical place.&#8221;
The billionaire called on the administration, including President Donald Trump, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, to act judiciously, reported Fortune. &#8220;When&nbsp;you have a brand, you&nbsp;need to behave in a&nbsp;way that respects that brand,&#8221; he counseled.
Griffin contextualized the recent economic chaos instigated by the White House in terms of consumers who purchase a product because they trust the brand. &#8220;On the financial markets, no brand can compare to the brand of the U.S. Treasuries…we put that brand at risk,&#8221; he said. 
Against the backdrop of existing uncertainty, Griffin told investors, &#8220;All you&#8217;re trying to do is tread water and not drown.&#8221; The Miami-based hedge-fund founder, a Trump voter and a GOP megadonor, also urged business leaders to engage &#8220;calmly, [respectfully,] and collectively&#8221; with the President, the House of Representatives, and the Senate about these policies.

Why It Matters: Griffin&#8217;s comments come amid the impact of President Trump&#8217;s sweeping tariffs announced on April 2, which triggered a market downturn. These policies have caused turmoil in global equity and bond markets, depreciated the U.S. dollar against other currencies, and led investors to turn to safe-haven assets like gold.
Although Trump later eased some measures with a 90-day pause on specific tariffs, a 10% tariff on most global imports and a 25% tariff on imported cars and some auto parts remain in effect. On Tuesday, Trump also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44942449/trump-pledges-substantial-cut-in-china-tariffs-but-refuses-to-make-it-zero-if-they-dont-make-a-deal-we-will-set-the-deal">softened </a>his stance on tariffs on China in anticipation of a trade deal.
Griffin, a notable backer of Trump, is among a number of affluent individuals who have expressed doubts about the reasoning and execution of the recent tariffs. Even Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk stated in the company&#8217;s Q1 earnings call that &#8216;lower tariffs&#8217; are good for &#8216;prosperity&#8217;, but leaves the ultimate decision to the U.S. President.
Citadel largely avoided market turmoil, with its flagship fund down just 0.9% in Q1, compared to the S&amp;P 500's decline of over 4%. 
Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) declined 7.7% over the past month while SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) fell 6.7% during the same period.

What Happened: In a clip featuring luxury-brokerage CEO Ryan Serhant, the retiree says he snapped up Berkshire Hathaway shares for roughly $2,000 a share for a total of $1.2 million in 1986.

The Math: Although an over-the-counter stock at the time, public price records show Warren Buffett's flagship stock opened that year at $2,470.
Fast-forward to today, each BRK A share changes hands at $788,799, as per its closing price on Wednesday. Multiply that by approximately 485.82 shares that the $1.2 million outlay would fetch, and the stake now sits at above $383.2 million, a 31835% leap.

Even by Buffett&#8217;s standards, the haul is eye-popping. Berkshire's book value compounded around 20 percent annually in the 1980s; the Snowball has since rolled through tech booms, dot-com busts, and three recessions. For long-haul investors, the lesson is plain-spoken Buffett lore: buy quality, sit tight, and let time do the heavy lifting.
Serhant, who built a media brand on blockbuster Manhattan listings, posted the exchange to show patience in wealth-building, while also engaging the nerds with some quick math. For his nonagenarian interviewee, that patience turned a starter sum into almost half a billion dollars.

A climate activist connected with Extinction Rebellion was arrested inside Trump Tower in Manhattan on Wednesday after disfiguring a presidential seal in a protest drawing attention to government inaction on climate change.
What Happened: Clad in a shirt that said "Join, or Die," the protester spray-painted "USA" across a presidential plaque in the Trump Tower lobby, and then knelt in front of it. He was then arrested by Secret Service agents in the presence of onlookers, many of whom filmed the incident. 
The protester was identified as a 36-year-old Nathaniel Smith of Brooklyn. He has been charged with third-degree criminal tampering and possession of graffiti tools.
After his arrest, Smith issued a <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/protestor-breaks-silence-after-trump-tower-demonstration-arrest-2063225">statement</a> to Newsweek, which said: "I did this because I am an American. It is my duty to stand up for my country, and my Earth, when a government becomes destructive of our right to life." As he was escorted away by agents, he shouted, "They are ruining the planet for profit."
Earlier this week, reports emerged claiming that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44882365/trumps-energy-department-mulls-cutting-billions-in-clean-energy-funds-threatening-exxon-occidental-projects">U.S. Energy Department is reportedly considering major cuts</a> that could halt almost $10 billion in federal funding for clean-energy projects.

He Believes Tesla Is Central To The Solution</a>
Why It Matters: This protest is part of a larger Earth Day campaign launched by Extinction Rebellion, which held agitations at the Wall Street Charging Bull and a Tesla Inc. showroom the previous day. 
Known for its disruptive civil disobedience tactics, the activist group said the message on Smith's t-shirt was "a call to resist a government marked by chaos and cruelty, and to begin building alternative structures capable of repairing the damage."
In his statement, Smith was critical of both major political parties, saying, "All American political parties are equally complicit in inaction, which has brought us to this point. Switching to blue is not the solve. [Former Vice President] Kamala Harris' climate platform was fracked gas, much deadlier than regular."
This protest took place on the same day that President Donald Trump's Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent backed fossil fuel development in emerging economies, labelling renewables-only strategies as impractical for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44971113/scott-bessent-backs-fossil-fuels-for-developing-nations-treasury-secretary-slams-renewables-only-push-as-luxury-belief-amid-trumps-drill-baby-drill-agen">nations still dealing with basic economic needs</a>.

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has revealed that the company is running its autonomous ride-hailing service in Austin, as well as the San Francisco Bay Area.
What Happened: In a post on social media platform X on Wednesday, the company shared a video showcasing the Supervised FSD ride-hailing service. Tesla says it has completed over 1,500 trips and covered a distance of 15,000 miles.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

&mdash; Tesla AI (@Tesla_AI) <a href="https://twitter.com/Tesla_AI/status/1915080322862944336?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 23, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

The video showcased what the service experience could potentially look like as it revealed a few details about the app design and interface as well. Tesla says this limited rollout, restricted just for a set of employees, will help the company further develop its FSD tech.
"This service helps us develop &amp; validate FSD networks, the mobile app, vehicle allocation, mission control &amp; remote assistance operations," Tesla said in the post.
Why It Matters: The reveal comes in as CEO Elon Musk had recently shared in the Q1 earnings call that Tesla would roll out its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44943387/elon-musk-shares-fsd-update-at-tesla-earnings-call-10-to-20-model-ys-will-offer-paid-robotaxi-rides-in-june">robotaxi services in June</a>. Musk's comments came as he had earlier predicted Tesla cars would be able to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44834045/tesla-touts-fsd-capabilities-elon-says-predicts-cars-will-soon-drive-itself-right-to-your-house">drive themselves to people's houses</a> straight from the factory.&nbsp;
While Tesla's FSD tech <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44349240/googles-waymo-leads-robotaxi-race-with-2-millon-paid-rides-zoox-challenges-tesla-for-second-spot-as-unsupervised-autonomy-becomes-table-stakes-says-gary-black">still lags behind</a> the likes of Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Waymo, Musk's optimism has boosted investor confidence as Tesla shares experienced a 5% surge on Tuesday following the earnings call.
It's worth noting that the company experienced a 71% year-over-year plunge in profits in Q1 2025, leading to a decline in investor confidence and criticism of Musk's involvement in politics.
However, analysts have since hailed Musk's move to scale back on his DOGE commitments and focus on Tesla, which has led to experts like Dan Ives <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44945402/wedbushs-dan-ives-raises-teslas-price-target-to-350-as-musk-promises-to-significantly-reduce-doge-time">setting a high price target </a>for Tesla shares.
Price Action: TSLA currently trades at $250.74 on the NASDAQ, according to<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard"> Benzinga Pro data</a>.

The Securities and Exchange Commission met with officials from El Salvador&#8217;s&nbsp;National Commission on Digital Assets&nbsp;on Tuesday to collaborate on cryptocurrency regulation across borders.
What Happened: According to a memo dated April 22, representatives from&nbsp;Perkin Law Firm, LLC, and Heather Shemilt, a retired Goldman Sachs partner, also attended the meeting, the focal point of which was to discuss a proposed cross-border regulatory sandbox.
As part of a pilot program, a U.S.-licensed broker will get a digital asset license to operate in El Salvador to conduct a small-scale real estate tokenization trial in collaboration with a local company. The other scenario includes a small company raising up to $10,000 through tokenized shares in partnership with a U.S.-licensed broker.
The initiative sought to compare El Salvador&#8217;s &#8220;streamlined&#8221; approach to U.S. frameworks and identify efficiencies and gaps.

SEC Zooms In On Nayib Bukele-Led El Salvador's Crypto Regulation Model

With the ongoing shifts in the markets, the U.S.&#8217;s reliance on foreign capital is reversing, leading to lower asset prices. However, its unique position as the issuer of the world&#8217;s reserve currency provides a significant advantage in navigating this shift, according to an expert.
What Happened: In a recent thread on X, Bob Elliot, co-founder, CEO, and CIO of Unlimited and former investment committee member of Bridgewater Associates, argued that, unlike typical emerging market balance of payments crises, the U.S. can prioritize domestic economic conditions due to its debt being <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44895384/dollar-slips-to-a-three-year-low-below-98-mark-higher-rates-are-not-supporting-the-dollar-says-expert">denominated in U.S. dollars</a>.
A balance of payments crisis in an emerging market can often trigger aggressive rate hikes to retain foreign capital, curb consumption, and limit currency depreciation needed to service foreign-currency debt, typically crushing local assets.
However, Elliot argues that the U.S. situation differs fundamentally despite sharing the characteristic of high reliance on foreign capital. Since U.S. debt is not issued in a foreign currency but in its own, &#8220;U.S. policymakers are in the privileged position to prioritize domestic conditions through the adjustment process,&#8221; said Elliot.
While concerns exist about foreign selling pushing rates higher, as seen in an emerging market crisis, the Fed&#8217;s ability to prioritize domestic conditions in the U.S. means it can ease monetary policy even as capital withdraws.
If needed, &#8220;the Fed can always print money and buy the bonds,&#8221; particularly to offset potential deflationary pressures from a weakening economy, said Elliot.
He explains that, unlike typical BoP crises, the Fed&#8217;s focus on domestic conditions, enabled by a weaker dollar and easing interest rates, can limit equity losses from reduced demand.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">But unlike more traditional BoP crises, the US policymakers are in the privileged position to prioritize domestic conditions through the adjustment process. The result is a weaker currency but stronger bond and equity performance than in typical adjustments of the past.

Why It Matters: According to Elliot, the selloff in U.S. assets is a consequence of the government&#8217;s efforts to reduce consumption through tariff policies and a subsequent narrowing of the current account deficit.
The decades-long buildup in foreign capital inflows since the 1990s, Elliot highlighted, was initially driven by reserve purchases and later by increased equity investments following the Global Financial Crisis. Also, foreign private investors funded substantial federal government deficits in recent years.
&#8220;Never would a country be allowed to run such a classic &#8216;twin deficit&#8217; problem for so long,&#8221; Elliot stated, emphasizing the unprecedented nature of this forty-year dynamic, made possible by the dollar&#8217;s reserve currency status.
Thus, he argues that the dollar&#8217;s reserve status can help policymakers make &#8220;adjustments&#8221; without creating a typical balance of payments crisis.
Price Action: As of the publication of this article, the Dollar Index Spot was trading 0.16% lower at the 99.6890 level, and the futures of the Dow Jones, S&amp;P 500, and Nasdaq 100 indices were down 0.49%,0.31%, and 0.39%, respectively.

The SPY was up 1.55% to $535.42, while the QQQ advanced 2.27% to $454.561, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.
