India is considering imposing import duties on select U.S. products to counter Washington&#8217;s 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, according to a document submitted to the World Trade Organization on Monday.
The filing stated these U.S. measures affect $7.6 billion worth of Indian exports but didn&#8217;t specify which American products might face retaliatory duties, Reuters reported.
The move follows the U.S. reimposition of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/02/43592144/us-steel-aluminum-stocks-rally-as-trump-revives-25-tariff-plan">steel and aluminum tariffs in March</a>, extending policies first implemented during President Donald Trump&#8216;s first term in 2018.
Trump&#8217;s administration has also threatened additional 26% reciprocal tariffs on Indian goods. The two nations are currently negotiating a trade deal, with India reportedly offering to reduce its tariff gap with the U.S. by two-thirds.

India Weighs Tariffs On US Goods In WTO Dispute Over Trump's Steel And Aluminum Duties Amid Ongoing Trade Talks

In a heated exchange with Pakistani commentator Shehzad Ghias Shaikh, British journalist Piers Morgan blasted Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence&#8217;s failure surrounding Osama bin Laden's hideout near a major military base.
What Happened: During the debate on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Morgan called claims of Pakistan's ignorance "utterly ludicrous," referring to the fact that bin Laden was found to be living "literally a few hundred yards from one of Pakistan's main military bases." 
He added, "All they had to do was get a pair of binoculars and they would have found the most wanted terrorist in the world." When Shaikh argued that intelligence failures do not equate to intentional harboring, Morgan said: "You don't dispute Osama bin Laden was living literally down the road from one of your biggest bases?" In response, Shaikh admitted to the intelligence failure.

Why It Matters: Morgan linked Pakistan's shielding of Bin Laden to India's lack of trust in its administration, saying, "That's why India has such a tension about this… they think, well look what happened with Bin Laden, it's happening again," he said. 
This debate comes on the heels of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/05/45335338/trump-makes-india-pakistan-ceasefire-declaration-in-casual-manner-thank-you-for-your-attention-to-this-matter">ceasefire announcement</a>, publicly declared by President Donald Trump, between the two countries, after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/05/45282156/us-and-china-accelerate-arms-race-with-billions-in-military-sales-to-nuclear-powered-neighbors-as-india-turns-to-washington-and-pakistan-deepens-ties-with-beijing-amid-escalating-conflict-at-border">days of increasingly aggressive attacks</a> across borders that led to multiple casualties, including army personnel and civilians.

Cues From Last Session:
Information technology, consumer discretionary, and communication services sectors saw the biggest gains on Monday. The Dow Jones index soared over 1,100 points as the U.S. and China agreed to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45341884/apple-amazon-nvidia-rise-in-monday-premarket-as-us-china-agree-to-90-day-tariff-truce-neither-side-wants-a-decoupling">90-day tariff truce</a>, effective May 14. 
This, along with the Trump administration&#8217;s progress to further formal trade talks amid growing economic pressures, fueled the market optimism.
However, this positive Monday followed a down week for major U.S. indices, with the S&amp;P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow all closing lower on Friday.
In stock-specific news, NRG Energy Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NRG#NYSE">NRG</a>) reported strong first-quarter results, while Kindly MD Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KDLY#NASDAQ">KDLY</a>) shares skyrocketed following a Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) treasury strategy merger.
Meanwhile, utility stocks moved against the broader market trend, closing lower.
After Monday, all the indices were out of the correction zone. The S&amp;P 500 index was down 4.93% from its record high of 6,147.43 points, scaled on Feb. 19. Dow Jones was 5.91% lower than its 52-week high of 45,073.63 points, and Nasdaq 100 was 6.09% lower than its previous high of 22,222.61 points.
The Dow Jones index declined 119 points or 0.29% to 41,249.38, whereas the S&amp;P 500 index fell 0.071% to 5,659.91. Nasdaq Composite ended 0.004% higher at 17,928.92, and the small-cap gauge, Russell 2000, dropped 0.16% to 2,023.07.

According to the historical data presented by him, the S&amp;P 500 index ended 16.3% higher on average following days with such fresh 20-day highs. Out of the 30 times this has happened, the index has closed the year on a positive note 29 times.

After the 90-day tariff pause between the U.S. and China, John Murillo, chief dealing officer of B2BROKER, a global fintech solutions provider, said that the news triggered an immediate positive market response. 
"Stocks and oil prices have rebounded – apparently, in reaction to the news, which can lead to lower costs for businesses and consumers," Murillo noted.
Despite the initial positive action following the announcement, Murillo emphasized the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45367206/sp-500-rallies-over-3-on-us-china-90-day-tariff-truce-but-experts-warn-it-doesnt-guarantee-a-complete-resolution-of-the-trade-war">temporary nature of the agreement</a>. "Now, while the 90-day pause is a big step towards easing tensions, it&#8217;s crucial to remember that it doesn&#8217;t guarantee a complete resolution of the trade war."

Honda Motors For FY 2026 Expects Net Profit Of ¥250B And Revenue Of ¥20.3T

On Monday, Stephanie Pomboy, the founder of macro research firm MacroMavens, rained on Wall Street&#8217;s victory parade following the trade war de-escalation between the U.S. and China.
What Happened: Referring to the rally as a &#8220;headline sugar rush,&#8221; Pomboy believes the market is misreading the situation. &#8220;To listen to the financial media, you&#8217;d think it was the final agreement, and it ain&#8217;t,&#8221; she said <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIbYX9-gLl0">on</a> Kitco News, referring to the temporary tariff pause.
While equities rallied, Treasuries were telling a different story, according to Pomboy, &#8220;10-year yield just surged to 4.45%,&#8221; she says, calling the instrument &#8220;recalcitrant,&#8221; given its growing unpredictability and lack of cooperation with macroeconomic signals.

With more than $2 trillion in Treasury issuance on the horizon and major foreign buyers like China pulling back, &#8220;Who's going to buy $2 trillion worth of paper?&#8221; She asks.
The U.S. Treasury is expected to issue new debt in 2025 to finance ongoing federal deficits. Recent projections include $514 billion in borrowing for the April–June quarter and $554 billion for July–September, with similar amounts in earlier quarters. On an annualized basis, total borrowing exceeds $2 trillion.
She further warned that the Federal Reserve may ultimately be forced back into balance sheet expansion. &#8220;The Fed is the only obvious candidate to absorb all this issuance,&#8221; Pomboy said, adding that credit stress is growing despite a lack of response in spreads.
&#8220;This is a structural fiscal problem,&#8221; she says. &#8220;The market's partying on tariffs, but the foundation is cracking.&#8221;
Why It Matters: Last week, Michael Hartnett, a Chief Investment Strategist at Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) echoed similar views, stating that 5% Treasury Yields could <a href="https://benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45317301/5-treasury-yields-could-force-trump-to-slash-tariffs-in-q2-says-bofas-hartnett">push the U.S. Government</a> to walk back on its protectionist trade policies.

'Who's Going To Buy $2 Trillion Worth Of Paper?' Macro Expert Calls Wall Street Rally A 'Headline Sugar Rush' As Treasury Yield Spike Signals Bigger Trouble

Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) correction continued into Tuesday morning, although one analyst seemed confident the coin would reach $0.27 on the next leg up.
What happened: The dog-themed memecoin lost over 9% in the last 24 hours, reversing the gains made the day before. The trading volume rose 1.70% to $3.55 billion.
Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst and trader Rekt Capital said DOGE was retesting the key pre-Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) halving resistance of $0.22 as new support.
"Retest is now in progress. Hold green, and at least $0.27 would be next," the analyst predicted.

Why Coinbase Global Shares Are Trading Higher By Over 9%; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) says that the Republican party is currently facing an internal &#8220;identity crisis,&#8221; particularly over the proposed legislation on Medicaid, as the Democratic party&#8217;s approval ratings continue to fall. 
What Happened: Hawley stated that the Republican Party is divided over its approach to representing working-class Americans. President Donald Trump has promised tax cuts for the working class and protection for social insurance programs like Medicaid. However, a faction within the party, known as the &#8220;Wall Street wing,&#8221; is advocating for a return to corporate incentives, capital preferences, and significant cuts to social insurance, stated Hawley in a New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/12/opinion/josh-hawley-dont-cut-medicaid.html">op-ed</a>. He calls the idea of Medicaid cuts &#8220;morally wrong and politically suicidal.&#8221;
Despite recent polls indicating that 64% of Republicans view Medicaid favorably, and over half of Americans have a personal or familial connection to the program, some Republican representatives continue to push for substantial cuts to Medicaid. Hawley urges Republicans to recognize the needs and desires of their constituents, who largely depend on social insurance programs. 
Josh Hawley stated that for Republicans to become a majority and truly represent the working class, they must reject proposals to cut Medicaid and focus on fulfilling promises to American workers.

Why It Matters: This internal conflict within the Republican party comes at a time when millions of Americans stand to lose their Medicaid health insurance coverage due to proposals by Republican Congress members aimed at reducing spending to back President Trump&#8217;s tax cuts and domestic policy agenda. According to a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45278823/over-5-million-americans-set-to-lose-health-coverage-by-2034-amid-proposed-gop-medicaid-cuts-cbo-analysis">recent nonpartisan analysis</a>&nbsp;by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), Medicaid coverage losses could range between 2.3 million and 8.6 million people.
Furthermore, House Republicans have unveiled plans for at least $880 billion in Medicaid cuts to fund President Trump&#8217;s $4.5 trillion tax break extension, potentially causing 8.6 million Americans to lose healthcare coverage over the next decade, as per a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/05/45344596/house-republicans-push-880-billion-medicaid-cuts-to-renew-trump-tax-breaks-democrat-warns-millions-will-lose-their-health-care">CBO preliminary analysis</a>.
Democrats, on the other hand, are urging GOP leaders to discard Medicaid cuts and instead address Medicare Advantage &#8220;upcoding&#8221; to tackle federal waste. They claim that Medicare overpaid private insurers by $50 billion in 2024 for unverified diagnoses, according to a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45335179/democrats-urge-gop-to-target-medicare-advantage-upcoding-instead-of-medicaid-cuts-calling-budget-pla">report from The Hill</a>.

Josh Hawley Slams GOP 'Identity Crisis' Over Medicaid, Calls Proposed Cuts 'Morally Wrong And Politically Suicidal'

Fortuna Mining Corp. (NYSE:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSM#NYSE">FSM</a>, TSX:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FVI#TSX">FVI</a>) ("Fortuna" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the successful completion of the sale of its interest in Roxgold Sanu SA ("Roxgold Sanu"), together with the Company's three other wholly-owned Burkina Faso subsidiaries (together with Roxgold Sanu, the "Acquired Companies") to Soleil Resources International Ltd. ("SRI"), a private Mauritius company (the "Transaction"). Roxgold Sanu owns and operates the Yaramoko Mine in the Balé Province, Burkina Faso. The Transaction closed pursuant to the terms of a definitive share purchase agreement (the "Share Purchase Agreement"). All references to dollar amounts in this news release are expressed in US dollars.
Jorge A. Ganoza, President and CEO, commented, "We're taking the opportunities a strong gold market provides to streamline our asset portfolio. The recent closings of the high-cost San Jose Mine sale in April and the Yaramoko Mine sale in May represent the divestment of two operations with limited reserve life." Mr. Ganoza continued, "In the case of Yaramoko, we received a compelling offer that provided a prudent exit from a jurisdiction where we are no longer pursuing exploration activities and where the operating and security landscape remains challenging." Mr. Ganoza concluded, "Collectively, these transactions enable us to shift our focus away from mine closures - reallocating approximately $50 million in capital and freeing up management capacity - to pursue higher-value opportunities aligned with our strategic objectives."
The proceeds from the sale increase the Company's first quarter cash and short term investments to over $380 million and liquidity to over $530 million.
Details of the Transaction
Under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, SRI acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Acquired Companies held by Fortuna's subsidiaries in consideration for the payment of $70 million in cash. Prior to the closing of the Transaction, Roxgold Sanu paid to the Company a cash dividend in the amount of $53.8 million plus $3.7 million in withholding tax. The agreement also provides that the Company has the right to receive up to approximately $53 million of value added tax receivables upon the completion of certain conditions.
The Company has now ceased all operations in Burkina Faso.
Updated 2025 Production and Cost Guidance Reflects Streamlining of the Portfolio
Following the divestiture of the Yaramoko Mine, Fortuna has updated its consolidated production and cost guidance for 2025.
<ul>
<li>Gold equivalent production guidance has been updated to 309,000 to 339,000 ounces, down from the original range of 380,000 to 422,000 ounces; an 18 percent reduction at the midpoint. Consolidated cash cost guidance remains unchanged in the original range of $895 to $1,015 per gold equivalent ounce ("GEO").</li>
<li>All-in Sustaining Cost (AISC) guidance has been updated to a range of $1,670 to $1,765 per GEO, up from the previous estimate of $1,550 to $1,680 per GEO. This adjustment indicates a 6% increase over the midpoint of original guidance and primarily reflects the net impact of the exclusion of the Yaramoko Mine's contribution, and a reduction in the AISC estimate for the Lindero Mine. The updated AISC guidance continues to account for expenditures totaling approximately $45 per GEO, including: 
<ul>
<li>$5.3 M for the upgrade of the Company's enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system to SAP S/4HANA</li>
<li>$2 M in land compensation payments at Séguéla</li>
<li>$7 M in incremental government royalty payments at the Séguéla Mine &nbsp;</li>
</ul>

McDonald&#8217;s Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>) announced Monday one of its largest hiring initiatives in years, seeking to add 375,000 employees across U.S. locations this summer as the fast-food giant pursues aggressive expansion despite recent sales challenges.
What Happened: Joe Erlinger, McDonald&#8217;s U.S. president, unveiled the hiring plan alongside Department of Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer at a location near Columbus, Ohio, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/mcdonalds-announces-plan-hire-375000-employees-us-summer-rcna206309">reported</a> NBC News. The initiative aligns with McDonald&#8217;s strategy to open 900 new U.S. restaurants by 2027 and bolster staffing for increased summer demand.
The announcement comes amid broader economic headwinds for the company. Earlier this month, McDonald&#8217;s reported its worst quarterly U.S. same-store sales performance since 2020, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45336128/a-divided-economy-mcdonalds-ceo-says-rich-keep-dining-out-but-average-income-consumers-feeling-economic-anxiety">with a 3.6% decline</a> that missed analyst forecasts of a 1.7% drop. 
Executives cited diminishing foot traffic as the primary factor, noting middle-income consumer visits fell by &#8220;nearly double digits&#8221; alongside continued weakness among low-income customers.
&#8220;People are just visiting less,&#8221; McDonald&#8217;s told investors during its earnings call, pointing to spending cutbacks as consumers increasingly skip meals out or eat breakfast at home to save money.

Why It Matters: The hiring push coincides with the President Donald Trump administration&#8217;s focus on domestic business investment. The White House recently reported securing over $5 trillion in new U.S. investment commitments during Trump&#8217;s first 100 days in office, including major pledges from technology companies.
McDonald&#8217;s leadership has explicitly acknowledged a &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45159157/mcdonalds-ceo-the-us-economy-is-dividedlow-income-traffic-down-10-while-rich-diners-continue-to-spend">divided U.S. economy</a>&#8221; where low and middle-income consumers face persistent pressure from inflation despite strong traffic among higher-income patrons. 
The company, which currently operates over 38,000 locations globally, continues emphasizing value offerings, including $5 meal deals to attract price-sensitive customers in this challenging consumer environment.
