Why Argenx Shares Are Trading Higher By 5%; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

China announced on Thursday it would immediately restrict Hollywood film imports in retaliation for President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariff increases on Chinese goods, targeting a high-profile American export as trade tensions intensify.
What Happened: A spokesperson for the National Film Administration said, &#8220;The wrong move by the U.S. government to abuse tariffs on China will inevitably further reduce the domestic audience&#8217;s favorability towards American films. We will follow market rules, respect the audience&#8217;s choice, and moderately reduce the number of American films imported.&#8221;&nbsp;
The move could significantly impact major U.S. studios and entertainment companies with Chinese market exposure.
IMAX Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IMAX#NYSE">IMAX</a>) faces particular <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/04/44708103/why-investors-should-watch-chinas-service-trade-amid-us-tariff-escalation-disney-and-imax-most-impacted">exposure with 23% of its revenue derived from China</a>, where 45% of all IMAX screens are located. Despite this, the company recently reported strong performance in China during 2025&#8217;s first quarter, driven primarily by the domestic blockbuster &#8220;Ne Zha 2.&#8221;
&#8220;IMAX is benefiting from a blockbuster-heavy 2025-2026 slate and tighter cost control, especially in China,&#8221; noted Rosenblatt Securities analyst Steve Frankel, who maintains a &#8220;Buy&#8221; rating on the stock.

Why It Matters: Walt Disney Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) and Warner Bros Discovery Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>) also face potential impacts. Disney&#8217;s Marvel superhero movie &#8220;Thunderbolts&#8221; secured permission to debut in China on Apr. 30, but the fate of other summer blockbusters remains uncertain. WBD&#8217;s stock has already fallen 21.80% over the last month amid these concerns.
The restrictions follow Beijing&#8217;s broader retaliation against Washington&#8217;s tariff hikes, which includes increasing its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44708618/china-retaliates-with-massive-84-tariff-hike-on-us-goods-amid-escalating-trade-war">levies on U.S. goods from 34% to 84%</a> and filing a World Trade Organization complaint.
Two influential Chinese bloggers with Communist Party connections recently suggested China would &#8220;reduce or ban the import of U.S.-made films&#8221; along with restricting American companies from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44708103/why-investors-should-watch-chinas-service-trade-amid-us-tariff-escalation-disney-and-imax-most-impacted">government procurement processes</a>.
For U.S. studios, the $600 million earned in China last year represents a small but <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44717030/whats-going-on-with-warner-bros-discovery-wbd-stock">strategic portion of their global revenue</a>. However, China&#8217;s growing preference for domestic content had already created challenges for Hollywood before these new restrictions.

Hollywood Becomes Collateral Damage In Trump Tariff War As China Slashes Film Imports, Says US Actions Will Inevitably Reduce 'Favorability' Towards American Films

China has significantly increased tariffs on U.S. goods from 84% to an unprecedented 125% on Friday. This move comes as a countermeasure to the Trump administration&#8217;s similar actions.
What Happened: China&#8217;s&nbsp;Customs Tariff Commission of the&nbsp;State Council has declared that any additional tariffs imposed by the U.S. will be disregarded. "Given that U.S. exports to China already have no market acceptability under the current tariff rates, if the U.S. further imposes additional tariffs on Chinese goods, China will simply ignore them,"
The commission maintains that U.S. exports to China are already struggling to find market acceptability under the current tariff rates, <a href="https://www.scmp.com/economy/china-economy/article/3306151/china-raises-tariffs-us-goods-125?module=breaking&amp;pgtype=homepage">reported</a> the South China Morning Post.
A spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce emphasized China&#8217;s commitment to safeguarding its legitimate rights and interests, supporting the multilateral trading system, and maintaining the stability of the international economic order. 
The ministry criticized the U.S. tariff measures as &#8220;a typical act of unilateral&nbsp;bullying and coercion,&#8221; which violate&nbsp;World Trade Organization rules and&nbsp;undermine the rules-based&nbsp;multilateral trading system and international&nbsp;economic order.
The spokesperson also called on the U.S. to &#8220;immediately correct its wrongdoings and&nbsp;revoke all unilateral tariffs imposed&nbsp;on China.&#8221;
In his first reaction to President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariffs on China, Xi Jinping told visiting Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, "There are no winners in the tariff war and standing against the world ultimately results in self-isolation," as per state news agency Xinhua.
No matter how the external environment shifts, China will maintain its resolve and focus, dedicating itself to managing its own affairs efficiently,&#8221; added Xi.

Why It Matters: The decision to increase tariffs comes as President Donald Trump awaits negotiation talks with his &#8216;friend&#8217; Xi Jinping. 
According to China expert and political commentator Gordon Chang, the Chinese President&nbsp;is avoiding direct negotiations with President Trump to prevent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44755977/xi-jinping-steering-clear-of-trump-negotiations-to-avoid-political-backlash-at-home-says-expert-china-doesnt-have-any-cards-in-this-game">potential political backlash</a> at home. Xi is in a difficult position where initiating a conversation with Trump about the trade war could lead to backlash from his fellow Communist Party leaders. 
Notably, China is not immune to the adverse impact from Trump&#8217;s tariffs. Goldman Sachs downgraded China&#8217;s growth forecast and warned of risk to 20 million export-linked jobs in the nation. However, the investment bank cited overall global economic gloom as a reason besides Trump&#8217;s tariffs.

Xi Jinping Says 'There Are No Winners In Tariff War' As China Slaps 125% Tariffs On US Goods, Urges Trump To Immediately Correct 'Wrongdoings'

Gen Z workers are facing a sharp decline in confidence, driven by recession worries, stagnant pay, and an increasingly competitive job market, a new report finds.
What Happened: The youngest generation of workers is feeling mounting pressure from a tough economic climate, as reported by <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/04/10/gen-z-workers-confidence-record-low-recession-fears-tough-job-market-layoffs/">Fortune</a>. This is primarily attributed to mass <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44277188/a-poverty-sentence-heres-why-some-say-losing-a-federal-job-is-worse-than-being-fired-in-the-private-sector">federal workforce layoffs</a> and a complex job market.
Data from&nbsp;Glassdoor&nbsp;reveals that less than half of all workers are optimistic about the future. This figure has hit&nbsp;a record low for entry-level&nbsp;employees, with only 43.4% feeling positive about their employer&#8217;s 6-month business outlook, the lowest since Glassdoor started collecting data in 2016.

&#8220;Entry&nbsp;level workers have less job&nbsp;security. And so as they&nbsp;see these economic headwinds on&nbsp;the horizon, there's an understandable&nbsp;concern that they might be&nbsp;the first ones to lose&nbsp;their jobs in a recession,&nbsp;or they'll be left out&nbsp;in the cold when trying&nbsp;to find a new job,&#8221; said Daniel Zhao, Glassdoor's lead economist.
Recent data from&nbsp;LinkedIn&nbsp;also indicates that U.S. workers feel&nbsp;worse about the future than&nbsp;they did during the peak&nbsp;of the pandemic in April&nbsp;2020. The&nbsp;slowing jobs market and the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43303778/bill-gates-says-this-book-on-ai-will-change-every-industry-predicts-millions-of-jobs-will-vanish-by-2030">impact of AI </a>are major contributors to worker anxiety.
Stock market volatility this week, triggered by President Trump&#8217;s &#8220;reciprocal tariffs&#8221;, has further eroded workers&#8217; confidence. Despite a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/25/04/44749586/trump-averts-financial-crisis-with-tariff-pause-but-not-a-recession-josh-brown">90-day pause</a> on these tariffs, with the exception of China, economists warn that significant damage has been done.
Why It Matters: Gen Z's confidence slump reflects growing fears about job security in a volatile economy. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44277188/a-poverty-sentence-heres-why-some-say-losing-a-federal-job-is-worse-than-being-fired-in-the-private-sector">Federal layoffs</a>, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43761822/jamie-dimon-says-ai-will-change-your-jobs-but-it-may-eliminate-some-careers-as-well-reskill-and-redeploy-people">AI-driven job cuts</a>, and a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44629640/us-services-sector-slows-sharply-as-hiring-drops-tariff-pressures-mount">cooling services sector</a> are leaving young workers uncertain about their future. Entry-level optimism has hit a record low, highlighting the pressure this generation faces.
Meanwhile, billionaire investor Mark Cuban is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44354638/mark-cuban-advises-genz-to-spend-every-waking-minute-learning-about-ai-heres-a-list-of-ai-investment-opportunities-for-long-term">encouraging Gen Z to future-proof</a> their careers by gaining skills in artificial intelligence.

Gen Z Workers Hit Confidence Low Amid Layoffs, Stagnant Pay And Fierce Job Market

Even as President Donald Trump paused the reciprocal tariffs for 90 days on Wednesday, he later confirmed in a conversation with reporters at his Oval Office that pharmaceutical companies would face tariffs.
What Happened: The rally in pharma stocks was short-lived after the stocks reversed course on Thursday. When a reporter asked President Trump if he would go ahead and levy tariff duties on pharmaceutical stocks, he said, &#8220;Yeah, well, I will be because we want them coming back.&#8221;
&#8220;You know, we realized during COVID-19 that we don&#8217;t make our drugs and our pharmaceuticals in this country. So, I realized that, and it was a big realization,&#8221; he added.
Citing the emergency during COVID-19, he stated that he wanted the pharma companies to produce drugs in the U.S.
&#8220;We had to go to China to get drugs, we had to go to other places, we don&#8217;t make it. That&#8217;s because we let them leave, and now if they want to come back, we&#8217;re going to put tariffs on the pharmaceutical companies, and they&#8217;re going to all want to come back,&#8221; Trump said.
The pharma stocks tumbled on Thursday after Trump&#8217;s confirmation of tariffs.

Why It Matters: Despite a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs, base global tariffs of 10% and China tariffs of 125%, along with sector-specific tariffs of 25% on steel and aluminum, auto, and auto parts remain in place. Adding to it, the President hinted that he could soon announce tariffs on pharmaceutical companies.

Intel Corp's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44298588/lip-bu-tan-got-high-praise-from-tsmc-founder-morris-chang-for-saving-cadence-from-pretty-big-trouble-will-the-magic-work-at-the-new-intel">newly appointed CEO</a>, Lip-Bu Tan, has deep financial ties to China's tech sector, including investments in companies reportedly linked to the Chinese military.
What Happened: Tan has control over more than 40 Chinese companies and investment funds and holds minority stakes in over 600 others through firms he owns or manages — including at least eight with reported ties to China's People's Liberation Army (PLA), reported Reuters.
The report, based on U.S. and Chinese corporate filings, found that Tan retains control or minority stakes in hundreds of Chinese tech firms via Walden International and Hong Kong-based holding companies Sakarya Limited and Seine Limited. In many cases, he co-invested alongside Chinese government entities or state-owned enterprises.

Among the companies identified are suppliers and contractors for the PLA, including partnerships with China Electronics Corporation, a key PLA supplier sanctioned by the first Donald Trump administration in 2020.
Tan was also an early investor in Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp (SMIC), China's largest chip foundry, which is under U.S. sanctions due to military links.
Why It Matters: While it&#8217;s not illegal for U.S. citizens to invest in Chinese companies unless they are specifically blacklisted, Tan's ties have raised questions given Intel's central role in producing advanced chips for the U.S. Department of Defense.

The company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40897994/whats-going-on-with-intel-stock-on-tuesday">holds a $3 billion defense contract</a> and is involved in multiple national security-focused semiconductor initiatives.
In response to the publication, Intel said that Tan had completed a required director and officer questionnaire disclosing any potential conflicts. "We handle any potential conflicts appropriately and provide disclosures as required by SEC rules," a spokesperson said.
Intel did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga's</a> request for comments.
Tan's appointment comes at a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/03/44577045/intels-new-ceo-lip-bu-tan-says-trump-administration-ready-to-help-beleagured-chipmaker-warns-bureaucracy-kills-innovation">critical time for Intel</a> as it seeks to reclaim leadership in advanced chip manufacturing.
Critics argue that Tan's extensive financial involvement in China's tech and military-linked sectors may present a conflict of interest or at least warrant heightened scrutiny, the report noted.
"The simple fact is that Mr. Tan is unqualified to serve as the head of any company competing against China, let alone one with actual intelligence and national security ramifications like Intel," said Andrew King of Bastille Ventures.
Others, however, defend Tan's deep experience in global tech investing. "He was at the top of … most investors' lists," said Bernstein analyst Stacey Rasgon. "He's a legend."
While Tan has reportedly divested some Chinese holdings, the publication found no full accounting of those exits. Chinese corporate databases continue to list many of his investments as active.
Price Action: Intel's stock has dropped 1.68% year-to-date and is down 47.17% over the past 12 months, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
Despite the decline, Intel holds a respectable growth score of 3.48% based on Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings. You can see how it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">compares to other companies by clicking here</a>.

New Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan Linked To Hundreds Of Chinese Tech Firms, Including Companies Tied To China's Military: Report

Amid the escalating trade war between the United States and China, Chinese President&nbsp;Xi Jinping&nbsp;is reportedly facing a political dilemma, says China expert and political commentator Gordon Chang.
What Happened: Chang stated that Xi is in a difficult position where initiating a conversation with President Donald Trump about the trade war could lead to backlash from his fellow Communist Party leaders. &#8220;Xi Jinping has configured the&nbsp;Chinese political system so that&nbsp;only the most hostile answers&nbsp;are considered to be acceptable,&nbsp;which means he&#8217;s boxed himself in,&#8221; Chang explained at an interview with <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/media/china-expert-reveals-why-xi-wont-budge-tariffs-with-trump">Fox Business</a>&nbsp;on Thursday.
&#8220;China&#8217;s in a position where it can&#8217;t do what it absolutely needs to do,&#8221; the expert added. 
Chang, who penned &#8220;Plan Red: China&#8217;s Project to Destroy America,&#8221; concurred with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent&#8217;s opinion that China&#8217;s recent escalation in the trade war was a &#8220;loser&#8221; move. 
On Wednesday, Bessent stated, &#8220;They are the surplus country&#8230;.Their exports to the U.S. are five times our exports to China. They can raise their tariffs, but so what?&#8221;
China &#8220;doesn&#8217;t have any cards in this&#8221; game, Chang stated, implying that while China is &#8220;holding a pair of twos,&#8221; Trump has a &#8220;royal straight flush.&#8221;
SEE ALSO:&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.com/25/04/44754349/bitcoins-final-crash-peter-schiff-predicts-2025-crisis-will-end-what-2008-created" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bitcoin&#8217;s Final Crash? Peter Schiff Predicts 2025 Crisis Will End What 2008 Created &#8211; Benzinga</a>
Why It Matters: Following Trump&#8217;s decision to raise tariffs against China to 104%, China retaliated by raising tariffs on U.S. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44708618/china-retaliates-with-massive-84-tariff-hike-on-us-goods-amid-escalating-trade-war">imports from&nbsp;34% to 84%</a>. Trump responded&nbsp;with another tariff increase on Chinese&nbsp;imports the same day, taking the percentage to 125%. China&#8217;s 84% tariff came into effect on Thursday.
This move was followed by Trump&#8217;s sudden tariff spike, which&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44740040/chinas-growth-outlook-dims-as-trumps-125-tariffs-put-millions-of-jobs-at-risk-goldman-warns">triggered a sharp downgrade</a>&nbsp;in China&#8217;s growth forecasts by Goldman Sachs, putting up to 20 million export-linked jobs at risk. The escalating trade war and its potential impact on China&#8217;s economy put President Xi Jinping in a precarious position.
Despite hiking the tariffs, President Trump is hopeful of negotiations with the Chinese President. &#8220;I think that we&#8217;ll end up working out something that&#8217;s very good for both countries&#8221;, Trump said in the cabinet meeting on Thursday.
Chang highlighted how China believes it can pressure or intimidate Trump into backing down. However, Trump responded firmly by announcing 125% tariffs, signaling that he won&#8217;t be intimidated and that it&#8217;s China who needs to back down.
However, some experts think otherwise. Neil Thomas, a fellow for Chinese politics at the Asia Society Policy Institute&#8217;s Center for China Analysis <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/chinas-xi-jinping-playing-hardball-trump-tariffs-analysis/story?id=120692929">told </a>ABC News, &#8220;At the moment, Xi seems to be calculating that China can withstand the damage and that ultimately it&#8217;s the United States who will blink first.&#8221;

The sales figures for Q1 2025 for EVs showcase a growth in U.S. EV sales for several manufacturers and paint a strong picture for the domestic EV sector.
What happened: Cox Automotive has published <a href="https://www.coxautoinc.com/market-insights/q1-2025-ev-sales/">a</a> report outlining how the EV sector is performing in the US.

The report also says that roughly 7.5% of new vehicles sold in the US in Q1 2025 were EVs, a 7% year-on-year increase.
Despite experiencing an 8.6% decline in sales when compared to the same time last year, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) still dominates the segment, boasting a 43.5% share in sales.
Elon Musk&#8216;s company was followed by General Motors Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) with an 8.9% sales share, including Chevrolet, Cadillac, and GMC.

EV Sales Rise 10.6% Year-Over-Year In Q1 2025: Tesla Declines But Remains US Market Leader

As tech stocks experienced significant volatility following President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariff announcements, some investment firms view the pullback as a buying opportunity for select Magnificent 7 companies.
What Happened: Alexander Morris, CEO of F/m Investments, told Reuters his firm capitalized on recent price dislocations by adding shares of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>).
&#8220;We have long been investors in the Mag 7 — not all of them, but a handful of them — and you&#8217;ll see us more into some Apple, which seems to be at a discount,&#8221; Morris said. &#8220;We picked up some Meta, which seemed to have done well.&#8221;
The tech sector has faced substantial pressure recently. Apple shares have plunged 21.91% year-to-date, while Meta has fallen 8.84%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>, with both experiencing sharp declines following Trump&#8217;s initial tariff announcements.
Markets staged a historic rally Wednesday after Trump paused tariffs for 90 days on non-retaliating countries while <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44753780/us-stock-futures-fall-nikkei-crashes-over-5-as-markets-reel-from-trumps-tariff-shock">maintaining 145% duties on China</a>.

Why It Matters: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44652055/its-more-a-mag-seven-problem-than-a-maga-one-treasury-secretary-says-as-wall-street-meltdowns">attributed the market downturn to overvalued technology stocks</a> rather than trade policy, telling the Tucker Carlson Podcast it was &#8220;more a MAG Seven problem than a MAGA one.&#8221;
Despite recent volatility, Morris advocates for maintaining disciplined portfolio allocations through market fluctuations.
&#8220;Every time someone declares the death of the 60-40 portfolio, it comes roaring back,&#8221; Morris noted. &#8220;Whether 60-40 or 70-30, investors need to choose that level and stick with it until some life events change, understanding that they will balance out.&#8221;
Morris emphasized timing challenges: &#8220;Most of the annual return only happens in a handful of days a year, but you have to be around the entire year to get those days.&#8221;

Not All Of Mag 7, But A 'Handful:' F/m Investments Selectively Adds Apple, Meta After Trump's Tariff Announcement

As tensions persist in the tariff dispute, President Donald Trump brushed off China's decision to limit the screening of American films.
What Happened: The China Film Administration confirmed on April 10 that it would be reducing U.S. film imports, as reported by <a href="https://variety.com/2025/film/news/donald-trump-laughs-china-hollywood-movies-1236366364/">Variety</a> on Thursday. This decision is a response to Trump&#8217;s recent tariff increases on Chinese goods to 125%.
Trump, when questioned about China&#8217;s decision, responded with a laugh, saying, &#8220;I think I&#8217;ve heard of worse things.&#8221;
The China Film Administration stated that the U.S. government&#8217;s &#8220;wrong action&#8221; to impose high tariffs on China would &#8220;inevitably further reduce the domestic&nbsp;audience's favorability towards American films.&#8221; The administration plans to &#8220;follow the market rules, respect&nbsp;the audience's choice, and moderately&nbsp;reduce the number of American&nbsp;films imported.&#8221;

Why It Matters: The U.S. and China have been embroiled in a trade war, with Trump recently increasing tariffs on Chinese goods to 125%. In retaliation, <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/04/44708618/china-retaliates-with-massive-84-tariff-hike-on-us-goods-amid-escalating-trade-war">China has raised its tariffs</a> on U.S. goods to 84%. 
Hollywood films earned just under $600 million in China's $17.7 billion box office in 2024, a sharp contrast to the $8.6 billion generated across U.S. and Canadian theaters during the same period. 
Stocks like Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) are expected to draw attention due to their globally recognized intellectual property and a history of multi-million dollar blockbusters. Disney also operates a substantial merchandising and theme park business in China, which may face significant headwinds. Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>) is also exposed, with numerous international licensing agreements in China that could be at risk. However, IMAX Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IMAX#NYSE">IMAX</a>) may feel the biggest impact, as it generates 23% of its revenue from China — home to 45% of all IMAX screens.

Trump Shrugs Off China's Cutback On US Films Amid Ongoing Tariff Tensions: 'I've Heard Of Worse Things'

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick offered a forceful defense of the Donald Trump administration's tariff policies, emphasizing the United States' role as a key consumer of global goods.
What Happened: "We are the world's customer. The customer is always right," Lutnick said during a recent appearance on the All-In podcast. "When we say we're going to charge a tariff, and other countries who lean on us, who rely on us, who can't live without the oxygen that is our economy… we buy everybody's stuff."
Lutnick cited a U.S. gross domestic product of $29 trillion, with Americans purportedly spending $20 trillion. "So who is more important? Let's say they have an economy that produces stuff. And we have an economy that buys stuff. The customer is always right," he asserted.

He singled out China, contending it "consumes less than $10T and primarily tries to figure out how to sell it to itself," meaning it "doesn't buy anybody else's stuff." From Lutnick's perspective, this reliance on selling goods to the United States grants Washington leverage in trade negotiations: "We want them to come here. And if they can't come here, what if you pay us?"

The Counter-Argument: Critics argue that Trump&#8217;s aggressive tariffs on imported goods expose America's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44705879/trump-tariffs-push-eu-to-hit-23-billion-in-us-exports-including-orange-juice-poulty-and-steel-from-red-states">vulnerability to retaliation</a> targeting its thriving services exports. While the U.S. maintains a significant $295 billion surplus in services — selling $1.1 trillion worth of financial products, cloud computing, and digital platforms abroad — other nations could respond by imposing hefty reciprocal tariffs or regulatory hurdles to counteract Trump&#8217;s tariffs on goods.
Foreign governments have multiple non-tariff tools, including antitrust probes, restrictive licensing, and digital-service taxes, that can seriously impede American tech giants.

Howard Lutnick Defends Trump Tariffs Saying 'Everybody Needs Our Economy' — Especially China

President Donald Trump has warned of &#8220;transition problems&#8221; as the global tariff war rages on, causing markets to falter.
What Happened: Trump admitted the possibility of difficulties during a cabinet meeting. Despite the upheaval, he remained positive about the eventual outcome, saying, &#8220;There'll be a transition cost and transition problems, but in the end, it's going to be a beautiful thing,&#8221; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/shorts/qj_m4yIWkyE">reported </a>CNBC.
"We're doing again, what we should have done many years ago," stated the President.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Trump expects &#039;transition problems&#039; related to his tariff shift" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qj_m4yIWkyE?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>

</figure>
The President&#8217;s remarks followed the White House&#8217;s announcement that tariffs on certain Chinese goods would skyrocket to 145%. This is on top of an existing 20% tariff on fentanyl producers. Despite the escalating trade war, Trump is still hopeful for a deal with China.
Meanwhile, the stock market had another volatile day on Thursday, with substantial losses across the S&amp;P 500, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq. 
Despite the market chaos, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent tried to calm fears, stating that over 75 countries were keen to start trade negotiations. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick echoed this sentiment, asserting, &#8220;We&#8217;re&nbsp;getting the respect we deserve&nbsp;now.&#8221; When asked about the stock market turmoil on Thursday, Bessent spoke about the good inflation number and oil prices going down and stated, &#8220;I don&#8217;t think I see anything unusual today.&#8221; 
Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s warning of &#8220;transition problems&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44222440/financial-crime-weekly">echoes his comments</a> in March about a potential &#8220;period of transition&#8221; for the economy. This comes amid fears of a possible recession and significant changes to the economy, including tariffs and federal workforce reductions. For investors, the immediate concern is whether the market's recent volatility is a precursor to further declines or a sign of a potential reset.
The President&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44728207/trump-says-this-is-a-great-time-to-buy-but-portfolio-managers-give-a-reality-check-permanent-damage-has-been-done">recent announcement</a> of a 90-day pause and a reduced Reciprocal Tariff of 10% marked a significant shift from his previous stance. However, the escalating trade war and its impact on the stock market have raised concerns among investors and analysts.
Jake Schurmeier, portfolio manager at&nbsp;Harbor Capital, stated that even though the pause is encouraging, it doesn't resolve the ongoing uncertainty. "We likely go higher for a few days, but I think permanent damage has been done.&#8221; In the Investment Committee debate on CNBC, analysts argue that without a defined plan, corporate guidance and investor confidence will remain weak. &nbsp;
Tech stocks slumped after a sharp rally, as markets reassessed the impact of Trump's new China tariffs. Tech stocks, Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), dropped 6.74%, while Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) fell 5.9% and 4.24%, respectively. Meanwhile, chip stocks, Advanced Micro Devices Inc.

'There'll Be A Transition Cost,' Trump Says Amid Tariff Woes As Bessent Hints At Behind-The-Scenes Negotiations

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed an increase in the overall fear level, while the index remained in the &#8220;Extreme Fear&#8221; zone on Thursday.
U.S. stocks settled lower on Thursday, with the Dow Jones index dipping more than 1,000 points during the session as investors digested the 90-day tariff pause and weighed lingering economic risks to the outlook.

On the economic data front, the Consumer Price Index fell from 2.8% year-over-year in February to 2.4% in March, below expectations of 2.6% and marking the lowest reading since September 2024. On a monthly basis, inflation was negative by 0.1% — the first decline since May 2020.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a negative note, with energy, information technology, and communication services stocks recording the biggest losses on Thursday. However, consumer staples stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session higher.
The Dow Jones closed lower by around 1,015 points to 39,593.66 on Thursday. The S&amp;P 500 fell 3.46% to 5,268.05, while the Nasdaq Composite dipped 4.31% to 16,387.31 during Thursday's session.

What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
At a current reading of 8.4, the index remained in the &#8220;Extreme Fear&#8221; zone on Thursday, versus a prior reading of 12.3.
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.

BlackRock Gears Up For Q1 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

ValueAct Holdings, L.P. initiated a position in Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) in the fourth quarter of 2024, purchasing 536,900 shares worth approximately $122 million, according to a 13F-HR filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Feb. 14.
What Happened: Since then, Amazon&#8217;s stock has dropped 20.81% from $228.86 to $181.22 as of Thursday&#8217;s close, largely due to pressure from President Donald Trump&#8216;s newly implemented tariff policies. 
The decline reduced ValueAct&#8217;s Amazon investment by about $25 million to roughly $97 million.
Meanwhile, the San Francisco-based activist hedge fund reduced its Salesforce Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) position by 1,015,800 shares, a 26% cut to its largest holding. 
Salesforce stock has fallen 21.63% from $325.54 to $255.12 during the same period. This well-timed reduction helped ValueAct avoid approximately $71 million in potential losses amid market volatility.

Why It Matters: The strategic moves come during a tumultuous market environment where Trump&#8217;s administration has implemented a temporary 10% universal tariff on most imports and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44753780/us-stock-futures-fall-nikkei-crashes-over-5-as-markets-reel-from-trumps-tariff-shock">a steep 145% duty on Chinese goods</a>, triggering significant market declines. The Nasdaq-100 lost 4.19% and the S&amp;P 500 fell 3.46% in recent trading.
ValueAct&#8217;s investment approach aligns with its history of backing technology and growth sectors. The firm, which manages <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43518855/jeff-ubbens-valueact-bet-on-meta-visa-and-exited-spotify-in-q3-was-it-a-clever-move">approximately $9.27 billion in assets</a>, has demonstrated mixed results with recent investments. 
Led by CEO Mason Morfit and co-CEO Rob Hale since founder Jeff Ubben&#8216;s departure in 2020, ValueAct has built a reputation for its collaborative activist investment style that seeks to influence <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43875453/valueact-bets-119-million-on-amazon-as-analysts-see-25-upside-whats-driving-jeff-bezos-e-commerce-giant">corporate policy to enhance company value</a>.
