Economist Peter Schiff is calling out President Donald Trump&#8217;s newly announced trade deal with Vietnam, warning that American consumers are likely to bear the brunt of the agreement.
What Happened: On Thursday, in a post on X, Schiff criticized the deal, saying that it gives Vietnamese consumers an upper hand while leaving American shoppers worse off. 
Schiff didn't hold back when declaring &#8220;Americans are losers and Vietnamese are winners&#8221; under the new trade deal, saying that U.S. consumers will end up paying more for Vietnamese imports, while buyers in Vietnam gain cheaper access to American goods.

He says this about consumers in both nations, &#8220;relative to their positions under Biden,&#8221; which essentially means to say that Americans are worse off, while the Vietnamese are better off than they were last year, as a result of this deal.
Here, Schiff is referring to the terms of the new agreement, according to which the U.S. will charge 20% on all imports from Vietnam, while the latter will not charge anything on American imports. 
The U.S. will also be imposing a steeper 40% tariff on goods that pass through Vietnam, a process known as trans-shipment. This move is aimed at tackling Chinese goods that flow through Vietnam, while sporting the label &#8220;Made In Vietnam,&#8221; according to a report by Reuters.

Peter Schiff Warns 'Americans Will Suffer' And 'Vietnamese Will Enjoy' After Trump's Trade Deal With Hanoi

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed some improvement in the overall market sentiment, while the index remained in the &#8220;Greed&#8221; zone on Wednesday.
U.S. stocks settled mostly higher on Wednesday, with the S&amp;P 500 settling at a record high level during the session after President Donald Trump announced a new trade agreement with Vietnam.
On the economic front, the ADP National Employment Report showed private employers shed 33,000 jobs in June 2025 — the first monthly contraction since March 2023. The sharp miss reinforced market bets that the Fed may ease policy sooner than expected. Economists now expect Friday&#8217;s official nonfarm payrolls report to show a slowdown from 139,000 to 110,000 jobs.
Rate cut odds rose sharply. Markets now see a 25% chance of a July cut and fully price in a reduction by September. A second cut by December is also fully priced in.
The Greenbrier Companies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GBX#NYSE">GBX</a>) shares jumped 21% on Wednesday after the company posted stronger-than-expected results for the third quarter.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a positive note, with materials, information technology and energy stocks recording the biggest gains on Wednesday. However, health care and utilities stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session lower.
The Dow Jones closed lower by over 10 points to 44,484.42 on Wednesday. The S&amp;P 500 rose 0.47% to 6,227.42, while the Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.94% to 20,393.13 during Wednesday's session.
What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
At a current reading of 63.2, the index remained in the &#8220;Greed&#8221; zone on Wednesday, versus a prior reading of 61.3.
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

Pre-Market Outlook

S&P 500 Settles At Record High After Trump Announces Trade Deal With Vietnam: Fear Index Remains In 'Greed' Zone

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) experienced a surge in sales in China during the month of June amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46087914/teslas-europe-sales-slide-for-5th-straight-month-elon-musk-led-ev-giants-market-share-shrinks-to-1-3">declining sales</a> in other markets.
What Happened: Elon Musk's EV giant sold 61,000 units in the Chinese domestic market, a 3.7% YoY increase from the same time last year, according to data obtained by Reuters on Thursday.
Tesla sales also jumped 59% in China when compared to sales in May, the report suggests.
Why It Matters: The news comes as Tesla reported better-than-expected Q2 delivery results with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46238590/tsla-stock-surges-5-as-q2-deliveries-better-than-feared-gary-black-explains-why-elon-musk-led-tesla-fared-better-than-markets-worst-fears">over 384k deliveries</a>, largely driven by the Tesla Model 3 and the Tesla Model Y.
The sales surge in China could provide a major boost to Musk and Tesla amid a 60% decline in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46189042/elon-musk-led-teslas-european-woes-worsen-with-sales-down-over-60-in-sweden-and-denmark">Swedish and Danish</a> sales, as well as poor <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46162850/tesla-sales-in-canada-have-dropped-to-nearly-zero-says-researcher-expects-elon-musk-led-ev-giant-may-report-losses-starting-2026">sales figures in Canada</a>.
The news also coincides with Musk assuming oversight of Tesla's sales operations in the West in Europe and the U.S. after Omead Afshar's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46132042/teslas-q2-sales-going-to-s-says-gary-black-after-tsla-north-america-and-europe-chief-omead-afshars-exit">exit from the company</a>.

Polestar Selects Volvo Cars As Manufacturing Partner For Polestar 7, Expanding European Footprint

Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), was allegedly asked to leave a meeting in the Oval Office due to security clearance issues.
What Happened: Zuckerberg, who was at the White House to meet with President Donald Trump, unexpectedly walked into a meeting about the F-47 stealth fighter jet, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/fox-news-maga-hats-cookies-trump-west-wing-rcna214754">NBC</a> News reported on Wednesday. The Facebook founder was reportedly asked to wait outside due to concerns about his security clearance.
However, a senior Trump official refuted the claim that Zuckerberg was asked to leave the Oval Office.&nbsp;He told The New York Post&nbsp;that the situation was &#8220;mischaracterized.&#8221; &#8220;He was not asked to leave,&#8221; the official said. &#8220;He&nbsp;popped in to say hello&nbsp;at the president's request, and&nbsp;then left to wait for&nbsp;his meeting with POTUS to&nbsp;begin, which was scheduled to&nbsp;occur after the meeting with&nbsp;the pilots.&#8221;

Why It Matters: This incident comes amid a series of events that have linked&nbsp;Mark Zuckerberg&nbsp;and&nbsp;Meta Platforms Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) to the Trump administration. Meta insiders revealed that Zuckerberg&#8217;s apparent alignment with the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46050532/mark-zuckerbergs-maga-pivot-driven-by-elon-musk-envy-image-goals-say-betrayed-meta-insiders-report">MAGA movement</a> had left many of his colleagues feeling &#8220;grieving,&#8221; with Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk&#8216;s popularity being a major motivating factor. 
This shift in Zuckerberg&#8217;s public image followed a suggestion by Trump that Meta could invest up to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44323127/trump-suggests-meta-may-invest-up-to-60-billion-in-the-us-by-the-end-of-2025">$60 billion</a> in the US by the end of 2025.

Mark Zuckerberg Reportedly Crashes Donald Trump's Oval Office F-47 Jet Briefing, Asked To Leave—White House Says Situation 'Mischaracterized'

The Libertarian National Committee has made a bold pitch to Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk, urging the billionaire to join their ranks and avoid the challenges of launching a new party.
What Happened: The Libertarian Party, led by Chair&nbsp;Steven Nekhaila, has reached out to Musk, proposing that he join their party instead of creating a new one,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/07/02/libertarian-chair-asks-elon-musk-to-join-them-00436172?cdmc=2zK7JEWyzG9KT9ldeUIHAGDJRlx&amp;refcode2=2zK7JEWyzG9KT9ldeUIHAGDJRlx&amp;refcodecdmc=2zK7JEWyzG9KT9ldeUIHAGDJRlx">reported</a>&nbsp;Politico. Nekhaila believes that the Libertarian Party is best positioned to be a disruptive force and that Musk&#8217;s financial backing could significantly advance their cause.
"Making a new third party would be a mistake," Nekhaila told the publication. 
Musk, who has previously invested over $250 million in the 2024 election, primarily through his America PAC, has not yet responded to the invitation. Meanwhile, Libertarian Party, with an annual budget of $1 million to $3 million are actively trying to reach out to him, especially given his recent support for Republican Rep. Thomas Massie, who is known for his libertarian views.
Nekhaila argues that the Libertarian Party&#8217;s existing&nbsp;ballot access in almost every&nbsp;state gives them a significant advantage over new or independent parties. He points to the challenges faced by&nbsp;Robert F. Kennedy Jr.&nbsp;in securing ballot access during the 2024 election, which ultimately led to him withdrawing his name from many ballots after endorsing&nbsp;Donald Trump.
Despite Musk&#8217;s substantial political investments, Nekhaila noted that the billionaire has not seen the expected returns.

Why It Matters: Musk has recently shown interest in political involvement, expressing his intention to establish a new &#8220;America Party&#8221; following the passage of the GOP&#8217;s megabill. Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46186733/elon-musk-staging-a-political-comeback-tesla-ceo-sparks-america-party-buzz-as-he-slams-trumps-insane-spending-bill">criticized </a>President Donald Trump&#8216;s spending bill and hinted at forming the America Party if the bill passed.
Even with his immense resources, a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46210411/musk-third-party-odds-hit-47-can-the-tesla-chief-do-what-no-one-has-since-1853">third-party venture </a>could still be an uphill battle for Musk. The Libertarian Party&#8217;s existing infrastructure and ballot access could provide an alternative for Musk to influence the political landscape.
The Libertarian Party is not the only group courting Musk. Dan Webb, the leader of No Labels, a political group advocating for a centrist presidential ticket, has also expressed interest in engaging with Musk, reported Politico.

Elon Musk Receives Invitation To Join Libertarian Party: 'Making A New Third Party Would Be A Mistake'

Del Monte Foods, a 138-year-old titan in canned fruits and vegetables, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on July 1 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey, aiming to restructure its finances and pursue a sale of its assets.
What Happened: The company, known for brands like Del Monte, Contadina, and College Inn, secured $912.5 million in debtor-in-possession financing, including $165 million in new funds, to maintain operations during this process, according to a press release
The company's struggles stem from a combination of heavy debt, shifting consumer preferences, and macroeconomic pressures. 
A CNN Business <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/07/02/food/del-monte-foods-bankruptcy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> indicates that consumers are increasingly favoring healthier, preservative-free alternatives, reducing demand for Del Monte's core products.
While competitors adapted to trends like plant-based fresh foods and innovative packaging, Del Monte's flat sales of $2.4 billion in fiscal 2024 and a $127 million net loss reflect its failure to pivot effectively.
Greg Longstreet, the president and CEO of Del Monte Foods, said that the company &#8220;faced challenges intensified by a dynamic macroeconomic environment.&#8221; 
Additionally, the 2014 acquisition by Del Monte Pacific Limited saddled the U.S. subsidiary with over $1.2 billion in secured debt, exacerbated by rising interest rates, as <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-02/canned-food-producer-del-monte-foods-files-for-bankruptcy">noted </a>by Bloomberg. 
&#8220;This is a strategic step forward for Del Monte Foods. After a thorough evaluation of all available options, we determined a court-supervised sale process is the most effective way to accelerate our turnaround and create a stronger and enduring Del Monte Foods,&#8221; added Longstreet.

Franklin Covey, National Beverage And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Thursday

Chipmakers are likely to benefit from the &#8216;One Big Beautiful Bill Act&#8217; passed by the Senate on Tuesday, as they will be eligible for an investment tax credit that can incentivize the semiconductor business.
What Happened: According to the provisions of the tax cut bill proposed by President Donald Trump, the Big Beautiful Bill aims to temporarily increase an investment tax credit for semiconductor manufacturers till the end of 2026.
It would raise the tax credit to 30% of investments in manufacturing facilities, from the current 25%, providing stronger incentives for companies to expand domestic production.
Trump was initially critical of the Chips and Science Act, which granted awards worth $32.5417 billion and provided loans up to $5.85 billion to 32 companies, as per the <a href="https://www.semiconductors.org/chip-supply-chain-investments/">Semiconductor Industry Association</a>.
However, Trump set up a new entity, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44584283/days-after-calling-the-chips-act-a-horrible-thing-donald-trump-sets-up-new-entity-for-negotiating-much-better-deals-heres-more">United States Investment Accelerator</a>, within the Commerce Department, which now oversees the CHIPS Act program, as established by an executive order signed by him. 
The Big Beautiful Bill has now gone back to the House after<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46211326/one-big-beautiful-bill-passes-senate-with-jd-vances-tie-breaking-vote-trump-says-its-going-to-go-very-nicely-in-the-house"> narrowly passing in the Senate</a>, before the President could finally sign it to make it into a law. 
These are the top chipmakers and the existing beneficiaries of the Chips Act that will benefit from this investment tax credit mentioned within the tax cut bill.

Why It Matters: On March 4, during his joint address to Congress, Trump said, "Your Chips Act is a horrible, horrible thing."
He also urged U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson to "get rid" of it and use "whatever is left over" to "reduce debt or any other reason you want to."
However, the Trump administration has skipped repealing the act with the Investment Accelerator entity and even managed to get the semiconductor firms to invest in the U.S. over and above the Chips Act this year.
In early March, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) revealed its plans to inject $100 billion into U.S. advanced semiconductor manufacturing, significantly expanding its ongoing $65 billion Arizona initiative under the Chips Act and bringing total investment to $165 billion.

Suhail Doshi, founder of Playground AI and analytics platform Mixpanel Inc., publicly accused an Indian software engineer of simultaneously working at multiple startups while allegedly defrauding Y Combinator portfolio companies.
What Happened: Doshi wrote on X Wednesday that Soham Parekh &#8220;works at 3-4 startups at the same time&#8221; and has been &#8220;preying on YC companies and more.&#8221; The viral post, which garnered 12.1 million views and 15,000 likes, included Parekh&#8217;s resume showing concurrent employment at DynamoAI, Union.ai, Synthesia and Alan AI.
&#8220;I fired this guy in his first week and told him to stop lying/scamming people. He hasn&#8217;t stopped a year later,&#8221; Doshi stated. He described 90% of Parekh&#8217;s credentials as fabricated, with most professional links inactive.
The resume shows Parekh claiming a master&#8217;s degree in computer science from Georgia Institute of Technology and senior engineering roles at multiple companies simultaneously. His listed experience includes complex technical implementations across machine learning, distributed systems, and cloud infrastructure.
Multiple industry professionals corroborated Doshi&#8217;s allegations in the comment thread. &#8220;He has been doing this for years and works at more than 4 startups at any given time,&#8221; wrote Nicolai Ouporov, Agent Engineer at fleet. Michelle Lim, previously head of product at Warp, confirmed canceling a work trial with Parekh after seeing the post.

Why It Matters: Doshi revealed Parekh allegedly misrepresented his location to appear U.S.-based, with one company shipping equipment to a purported sister&#8217;s address. &#8220;Gets nothing done. Made up constant lies. Corroborated by 6+ other companies,&#8221; Doshi wrote when questioned about the accusations.
The incident highlights growing concerns about employment fraud in the remote work era. Federal Trade Commission data shows job scams increased <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/46009484/as-the-labor-market-gets-rockier-job-offer-scams-are-on-the-rise-duping-millennials-and-gen-zers">threefold between 2020 and 2023</a>, with reported losses reaching $470 million in text message scams alone last year.
Similar multi-employment fraud cases have emerged globally, including a Chinese woman who simultaneously held 16 positions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/09/34395031/unprecedented-scam-woman-juggles-16-jobs-in-multimillion-dollar-fraud">generating $7 million in fraudulent wages</a>. The Department of Justice recently charged individuals connected to North Korean IT worker schemes that infiltrated <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46189017/us-busts-5-million-north-korean-it-scam-americans-chinese-taiwanese-among-those-arrested">over 100 U.S. companies</a>.
Following the viral exposure, Parekh reportedly contacted Doshi asking for advice on career recovery, according to Doshi&#8217;s subsequent posts.

Despite the economic downturn in China, former IMF Chief Economist Kenneth Rogoff believes the country's push to undermine the U.S. dollar's global dominance remains firmly on track.
What Happened: On Wednesday, Rogoff replied &#8220;absolutely&#8221; when asked about China gaining traction in challenging the dollar&#8217;s supremacy, despite a slowing domestic economy, while speaking on The Call, a podcast by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
According to Rogoff, Beijing's efforts extend far beyond currency peg adjustments, which he says China has been doing far more aggressively over the past decade, especially following Western sanctions on Russia.
The broader strategy, Rogoff says, involves building independent financial infrastructure, including alternative settlement and clearing systems, to reduce reliance on the U.S.-dominated network. &#8220;To truly break away, China wants transactions in yuan and control over how they're settled,&#8221; he said.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/46218202/dollar-down-10-these-3-stocks-could-soar">Dollar Down 10%? These 3 Stocks Could Soar</a>
Even with China's real estate crisis and declining growth, Rogoff argues those macro headwinds don't necessarily derail Beijing's strategic objectives.
&#8220;China doesn't have to grow at 7% in order to establish the yuan as more of a currency,&#8221; he said. &#8220;They're the world's largest trading partner for probably more than half the countries in the world. So they're there. They've arrived.&#8221;
Rogoff draws parallels to Japan's post-boom era, warning that China is repeating many of the same mistakes, including significantly overinvesting in real estate and infrastructure. Yet despite that, he insists the yuan can continue gaining ground regionally.
He also warns that the U.S. is accelerating its own decline. &#8220;The erosion of the dollar, which I argue started a decade ago, is accelerating,&#8221; Rogoff said, citing trade policies and erratic decision-making in Washington as contributing factors.
Why It Matters: Rogoff had mentioned the same thing in an interview a week ago, warning of the consequences of &#8216;de-dollarization,&#8217; while saying that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/25/06/46115111/americans-are-not-prepared-says-harvard-economist-about-chinas-de-dollarization-interest-rates-are-going-to-be-higher-for-a-very-very-long-time">most Americans are unprepared</a> for such an eventuality.
&#8220;It&#8217;s going to put pressure on the U.S. budget, interest rates, and Americans are not prepared for any of that,&#8221; Rogoff said.
Several other prominent experts and analysts have cautioned about the same, with Adam Turnquist, a chief technical strategist at LPL Financial, warning of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/forex/25/06/45943600/is-us-dollar-losing-its-edge-de-dollarization-and-fading-exceptionalism-raise-alarms">further downside risks</a> for the greenback, following a sharp decline since the beginning of 2025.
According to Turnquist, &#8220;The dollar is also contending with recently renewed tariff threats, an ongoing de-dollarization theme, and fading enthusiasm for American exceptionalism.&#8221;
Chatham House expert, David Lubin, noted two months ago that some people within the Trump administration may view the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44858165/policy-push-vs-market-pull-dollar-under-pressure-as-reserve-currency-may-be-called-into-question-amid-tariff-turmoil">reserve status of the U.S. Dollar</a> as &#8220;more of a burden to the U.S. economy than a blessing.&#8221;
The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) currently trades at 96.844 against a basket of other currencies, up slightly by 0.07% on Thursday. The currency is down 11.44% since January 20, since the Trump Administration came to power.

Novartis Reports Phase III GCAptAIN Study Did Not Meet Primary Endpoint Of Sustained Remission At Week 52 In GCA Patients

MIRA Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MIRA#NASDAQ">MIRA</a>) shares soared to $1.87, an approximate 50.8% jump, during after-hours trading on Wednesday.
What Happened: After the announcement of Mira-55, a synthetic analog of marijuana, providing pain relief comparable to morphine, the stock value of MIRA Pharmaceutical exploded, signaling an aggressive investor buying.
Mira-55, engineered to selectively activate CB2 receptors, displayed minimal activity at CB1 receptors, thus avoiding psychoactive side effects. In a formalin-based rodent model, the drug significantly reduced pain sensitivity and showed efficacy comparable to morphine, without any sedative or inflammatory effects.

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has confirmed that Mira-55 is not a controlled substance, removing a significant regulatory barrier to its clinical development. The company is now advancing Mira-55 towards an Investigational New Drug (IND) submission, with development efforts supporting future clinical trials in inflammatory pain indications.
Chairman and CEO of MIRA,&nbsp; Erez Aminov noted, "With Mira-55 and Ketamir-2, we believe we're building a differentiated, non-opioid pain franchise with the potential to treat two of the largest and most underserved pain markets,"&nbsp;
Why It Matters: The promising results of Mira-55 is an advancement for MIRA Pharmaceuticals, which has been making strides in the pain management sector. In May, the company&#8217;s lead program, Ketamir-2, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/05/45217506/exclusive-mira-pharmaceuticals-lead-program-ketamir-2-shows-no-brain-toxicity-in-fda-mandated-study">showed no brain toxicity</a> in an FDA-mandated study. This was followed by the company&#8217;s announcement in March that it was expanding its pain management portfolio with the formulation of Ketamir-2 as a topical treatment for localized neuropathic and inflammatory pain.
Furthermore, MIRA Pharmaceuticals&#8217; acquisition of SKNY Pharmaceuticals, the developer of SKNY-1, a novel investigational therapy targeting obesity and nicotine addiction, is also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/05/45281398/exclusive-mira-pharmaceuticals-board-approves-skny-pharma-acquisition-establishing-combined-enterprise-value-over-60-million">expected to enhance its value proposition</a>. The company&#8217;s announcement in June that SKNY-1 demonstrated a 30% reduction in body weight without muscle loss, along with a reversal of nicotine cravings, further supported the advancement of SKNY-1 toward Investigational New Drug (IND) 
Price Action: According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MIRA">Benzinga Pro</a> data, MIRA Pharmaceuticals stock closed at $1.24, up 2.48% but soared to $1.87 with a massive spike of 50.81% during after-hours trading.
