Cliff Asness, Chief Investment Officer at AQR Capital Management, criticized proponents of tariffs Thursday, challenging claims that tariffs lead to deflation rather than inflation.
What Happened: &#8220;Idiots say this and bray like they&#8217;ve scored a great point,&#8221; Asness wrote on X. &#8220;What they mean is giant arbitrary tariffs are so bad they eventually cause recessions which then cause deflation. They then present this as a feature.&#8221;
His comments came in response to Anthony Pompliano, Founder &amp; CEO of Professional Capital Management and Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) bull, who had said, &#8220;Tariffs don&#8217;t create inflation. The exact opposite happens.&#8221;
The exchange occurs as JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/04/44608617/jp-morgan-hikes-us-recession-odds-to-40-tariffs-create-a-dilemma-for-the-fed">recently raised its U.S. recession probability</a> to 40% from 30%, citing President Donald Trump&#8216;s trade policies as a key factor. According to JPMorgan&#8217;s chief global economist Bruce Kasman, upcoming trade measures would lift effective U.S. tariff rates above 10%, potentially cutting 0.5 percentage points from both <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/04/44608617/jp-morgan-hikes-us-recession-odds-to-40-tariffs-create-a-dilemma-for-the-fed">global and U.S. GDP in 2025</a>.
Kasman identified three key risks: eroding investor confidence, disruptions to supply chains, and constraints on the Federal Reserve&#8217;s ability to counteract damage through monetary easing. &#8220;The combination of higher inflation and weaker employment growth creates a dilemma for the Fed,&#8221; noted Michael Feroli, JPMorgan&#8217;s chief U.S. economist.

Why It Matters: Cryptocurrency betting markets reflect growing concerns, with Polymarket showing the odds of a 2025 recession jumping from 46% to 54% in just 24 hours following Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; tariff announcement. Over $1 million has been <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44640419/recession-in-2025-crypto-betters-now-see-over-50-probability-after-trumps-sweeping-tariff-rollout">wagered on this outcome</a>.

Ark Funds CEO Cathie Wood continues to forecast a &#8220;deflationary boom&#8221; for the second half of 2025, arguing that the market is pricing in &#8220;the last leg of a rolling recession.&#8221;
Meanwhile, veteran strategist Ed Yardeni has reduced his odds for his bullish &#8220;Roaring 2020s&#8221; scenario from 65% to 55%, raising stagflation probability to 45% amid concerns that tariffs will squeeze corporate profit margins and push inflation higher.

Cliff Asness Slams Tariff Logic: 'Idiots Bray Like They've Scored A Point:' Warns Recession-Driven Deflation Isn't A Feature

The CBOE VIX, which is also known as the volatility index or the fear gauge, zoomed 39.56% to close at 30.02 on Thursday following the tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump.
What Happened: According to Charlie Bilello, the chief market strategist at Creative Planning, the VIX index closed at its highest level since Aug. 5, 2024.
&#8220;Fear is on the rise and stocks are on sale, providing more opportunities for long-term investors,&#8221; he said.
Bilello also highlighted the historical data and said that the S&amp;P 500 has given &#8220;higher than average&#8221; returns after the biggest volatility spikes in the past.
The data shared by him shows that after a similar spike on Aug. 5, 2024, the S&amp;P 500 index returned 6% over one month, 11% over three months, and 18% over the next six months. 
On average, the S&amp;P 5000 index has gained 12%, six months after such volatility spikes and 21% after a year. 
&#8220;More Fear = More Opportunity,&#8221; said Bilello in an X post.

The S&amp;P 500 index was down 12.22% from its record high of 6,147.43 points, scaled on Feb. 19. Whereas, the Nasdaq 100 was 16.65% lower from its 52-week high of 22,222.61 points, essentially getting closer to the bear market territory of -20%.

President Donald Trump's <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44631606/trumps-tariff-exemptions-include-semiconductors-pharmaceuticals-oil-and-more">new reciprocal tariffs</a> could undermine the billion-dollar AI infrastructure projects being spearheaded by leading tech companies, analysts warn.
What Happened: On Thursday, analysts highlighted the negative impact of the Trump administration's tariffs on technology equipment, which were levied at 34% on China, 32% on Taiwan, and 25% on South Korea, while also imposing a 10% baseline tariff on all imports to the U.S., reported Reuters.
The tariffs threaten to raise the costs of essential hardware used in artificial intelligence infrastructure, such as data centers, servers, and chips.

&#8220;Capital expenditure by tech giants will get reshuffled,&#8221; said Abhishek Singh, partner at Everest Group. &#8220;Expect major players in AI infrastructure and consumer tech to reallocate short-term spending away from expansion and toward procurement hedging or sourcing shifts.&#8221;
The tariffs are expected to increase the cost of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43908921/microsoft-pulls-plug-on-ai-data-center-leases-says-analyst-oversupply-situation-likely">building data centers</a> in the U.S., potentially delaying large-scale AI projects.
D.A. Davidson analyst Gil Luria pointed out that companies like Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) have already begun to scale back their data center investments due to financial uncertainty.
&#8220;Microsoft has already started articulating a more balanced, cautious approach to their data center build-out,&#8221; Luria noted.
The most high-profile project affected is the $500 billion Stargate venture between Oracle Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>), SoftBank Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>), and OpenAI, aimed at building 20 data centers across the U.S.
&#8220;Stargate was already unlikely to get to that scale even before these things happened. Given the shock to the economy that these tariffs represent, it is highly unlikely that such a risky endeavor will be able to raise anywhere near that number in terms of debt financings,&#8221; stated Luria.

Why It Matters: President Trump&#8217;s sweeping new trade tariffs jolted global markets on Thursday, sparking a dramatic sell-off reminiscent of the pandemic-era crashes.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) plunged 9.25%, Nvidia Corp.

Trump's Reciprocal Tariffs Threaten To Derail Big Tech's Billion-Dollar AI Infrastructure Plans, Analyst Singles Out This OpenAI-Linked Project As Likely To Get Hit

As U.S. markets witnessed a blood bath on Thursday, owing to the imposition of tariffs by the Trump administration and growing recessionary fears, a handful of stocks thoroughly defied the odds, rallying amid the broader chaos.
What Happened: The Dow, S&amp;P 500, and the Nasdaq, all witnessed their steepest declines since the pandemic, with most U.S. stocks ending the day in the red.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1) Goodyear Tire &amp; Rubber Co.</h3>
Goodyear Tire &amp; Rubber was a bright spot on Thursday, rallying nearly 12% amidst all the chaos, making it the day&#8217;s top gainer.
Edison Yu, an analyst at Deutsche Bank, believes Goodyear to be <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/04/44614534/5-car-stocks-that-will-benefit-from-trumps-liberation-day">a &#8216;relative winner&#8217; of Trump&#8217;s trade wars</a>, as most of its U.S. demand is filled with domestic manufacturing. As a result, it is less exposed to tariffs on imports, relative to peers in this industry.
Yu further adds that Goodyear&#8217;s focus on replacement tires, which make up 85% of its revenue, is set to benefit from the auto tariffs, as consumers will stick with their vehicles longer, leading to more tire changes. The stock has been upgraded to a &#8216;BUY&#8217; with a price target of $13, as <a href="https://www.investing.com/analysis/why-goodyear-tire-stock-is-a-relative-winner-amid-tariff-turmoil-200659060">reported</a> by Investing.com.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2) Lamb Weston Holdings Inc</h3>
Consumer staples were, in fact, only 1 of 11 sectors in the S&amp;P 500 to finish the day higher, as investors rushed to safe havens, and Lamb Weston Holdings was one of them, gaining 10%.
Analysts like Citi&#8217;s Filippo Falorni have long considered staples to be recession-proof and resilient in the face of uncertainty, telling the <a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/stocks/consumer-staples-gain-on-rush-to-safety-after-tariffs-spark-market-rout-45d2582b">Wall Street Journal</a> that investors can expect &#8216;stable earnings and revenue even in a tough environment.&#8217;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3) First Solar Inc</h3>
First Solar rallied nearly 5% on Thursday, being an American-made solar panel company, which allows it to dodge tariffs that apply to its competitors.
Chinese-made solar panels, which were the company&#8217;s biggest competitors, are now at a considerable disadvantage. <a href="https://www.renewableenergyworld.com/energy-business/why-is-first-solar-stock-soaring-while-much-of-the-market-sags/">Renewable Energy World</a> reports that investors in solar energy will seek to avoid the massive 54% tax on Chinese panels, while also earning the tax credits from the Inflation Reduction Act, giving a strong impetus to First Solar.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">4) Dollar General</h3>
Investors likely pursued Dollar General as another recession-proof stock, being a major discount retailer with nearly 20,000 stores, leading to a 4% spike on Thursday, and an 18% rally since the beginning of March. 
However, this theory doesn&#8217;t hold up too well, as Billy Duberstein <a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/2025/04/03/dollar-general-rallied-18-in-march-market-crash/">writes</a> for the Motley Fool, that during the post-pandemic inflationary period, Dollar General was hit with an expensive combination of inflation hitting its low-income customers&#8217; purchasing power, along with a rise in theft. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">5) American Water Works </h3>
A public utility that provides water and wastewater solutions, American Water Works is well insulated from global trade, tariffs, and geopolitics, making it the perfect safe haven stock.
People are unlikely to stop using water during a recession, and add to this, the stock offers an annualized yield of 2%, making it a great pick for those looking to overcome the tariff upheaval.
