U.S. stock futures rose on Friday after closing lower on Thursday. Futures of major benchmark indices advanced in premarket.
This came after President Donald Trump hinted at a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45807968/trump-signals-truce-with-elon-musk-after-online-feud-its-going-very-well-never-done-better">possible reconciliation</a> with Elon Musk following a public spat. In an interview with Politico <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/06/05/trump-white-house-aides-signal-a-possible-detente-with-musk-00391502">on</a> Thursday, Trump was unfazed about the questions on his feud with Musk, stating, &#8220;Oh it&#8217;s okay.&#8221; 
"It's going very well, never done better,&#8221; he said as his aides have scheduled a call with Musk to potentially resolve the conflict.
The disagreement between the two influential figures stemmed from Trump&#8217;s &#8220;big beautiful bill,&#8221; a legislative proposal outlining his presidential agenda. Their exchanges grew increasingly bitter, leading aides and allies to step in. Ultimately, Musk indicated a willingness to reconcile.
The investors will be on the lookout for May&#8217;s U.S. employment report, slated to be released later today. The nonfarm payrolls are expected to rise by 130,000, down from April&#8217;s 170,000 gain.
The 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.38% and the two-year bond was at 3.92%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 97.6% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its June meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
&#8220;Stock, bond, currency, and commodity traders have become jaded about Trump&#8217;s tumultuous trade dealmaking,&#8221; said Ed Yardeni in his daily note.
According to him, even the rising concerns about a shortage of Chinese rare earth minerals, which are needed by several U.S. manufacturers, haven&#8217;t fazed the stock market so far.
He said that &#8220;Investors seem to be more focused on whether the US economy is slowing or not.&#8221;
Yardeni stated that stock and bond prices would likely stay firm if today&#8217;s payroll employment report exceeds 100,000.
However, the report &#8220;isn&#8217;t likely to resolve the debate about the labor market,&#8221; he added, saying that he anticipates that it will be better than expected.&#8221;
Meanwhile, Louis Navellier said that he remains optimistic that the tariff confusion will dissipate in the upcoming months.
&#8220;I expect inflation will remain low due to (1) lower crude oil prices, (2) deflation from China, and (3) excess inventories from the dumping of goods in the first quarter,&#8221; he said.
He also added that resurging consumer confidence and rising personal income are a powerful &#8216;one-two&#8217; punch that will sustain strong economic growth. ﻿

US Stocks Likely To Open Higher: 'Traders Have Become Jaded About Trump's Tumultuous Trade Dealmaking,' Says Expert

As gold hovers around $3,500, Michael Gentile, the co-founder of Bastion Asset Management, believes large swathes of the sector have barely budged in recent weeks.
What Happened: On Thursday, appearing on Kitco News, Gentile said that the stocks of most junior miners, or small, early-stage mining companies, continue to trade as if prices were stuck at $1,500. 
This disconnect, Gentile says, represents one of the most overlooked opportunities in today's markets. He says the sector's smallest companies, those with sub-$100 million market caps, have been left behind despite historic highs in the spot price of the yellow metal.
&#8220;Normally, when gold hits new all-time highs, the juniors rally the hardest,&#8221; he says; however, this time around, &#8220;they're still trading at crisis-level valuations.&#8221;

While senior producers are &#8220;spewing cash right now, buying back stock, paying dividends [with] pristine balance sheets,&#8221; capital remains scarce for junior miners. 
Gentile, who serves on the board of several leading mining firms, believes the sector is still reeling from a post-COVID hangover, when inflation wiped out expected margin gains.
&#8220;In 2020, everyone was excited about margin expansion, but then inflation hit, and that got all eroded away,&#8221; he says. &#8220;Today, costs are much more under control. We're seeing record margins in both absolute and percentage terms.&#8221;
&#8220;Today, the majors are printing cash, that will eventually flow downstream,&#8221; he notes, predicting an M&amp;A wave and a re-rating of undervalued developers and explorers. Gentile believes there are already some signs of life, with generalist funds beginning to revisit the sector.
For risk-tolerant investors, he sees potential for &#8220;three, four, even 10 times your money&#8221; among select junior names. Still, he urges discipline, with a focus on tight cost controls, a well-aligned management team, and a clear path to profitable production.

Why It Matters: Other analysts have echoed similar views on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/06/45754937/exclusive-golds-27-ytd-rally-is-supercharging-miners-but-theres-a-big-if">gold miner profitability</a>, with Oktay Kavrak of LeverageShares saying that &#8220;A gold rally can supercharge miner profits if costs are controlled. But that&#8217;s a big ‘if.'&#8221;
&nbsp;&#8220;If it costs $1,500 to produce an ounce and gold rises from $2,000 to $2,100, that&#8217;s a 20% boost in profits on just a 5% move in gold,&#8221; he says, but adds that the reverse is also true. 
Price Action: The spot price of Gold now trades at $3,366.42, up 0.37% for the day, 1.51% over the past 30 days, and an impressive 46.37% over the past 12 months.

The shares of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) climbed 4.98% during the Friday pre-market trading session after indications of a possible reconciliation between CEO Elon Musk and President Donald Trump. 
What Happened: On Thursday, Tesla&#8217;s market cap plummeted by a record $152 billion, marking the company&#8217;s largest market cap loss in history. This decline was attributed to an intensified conflict between Musk and Trump over the latter&#8217;s &#8220;Big Beautiful Bill.&#8221;
In a subsequent interview with&nbsp;Politico, Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45807968/trump-signals-truce-with-elon-musk-after-online-feud-its-going-very-well-never-done-better">hinted </a>at a potential reconciliation with Musk, and the White House reportedly initiated efforts to de-escalate the situation. 
Meanwhile, Dan Ives, a prominent Wall Street analyst, believes that the ongoing feud between Musk and Trump will soon come to an end, allowing Musk to refocus on Tesla and its autonomous driving ambitions. Through a post on X, he also suggested that Tesla&#8217;s stock is currently oversold.

Why It Matters: The feud has not only affected Tesla&#8217;s stock but also sparked a public outcry for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45808535/bill-ackman-and-ye-call-for-trump-musk-reconciliation-after-public-fallout-over-tax-bill">reconciliation</a>. Notable figures such as billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman and rapper Ye have called for a resolution between the two influential figures. Elon Musk also seemed to embrace the idea of making peace with the President by responding to Ackman, saying, &#8220;You are not wrong.&#8221;
This development, coupled with Ives&#8217; optimistic outlook, could signal a potential recovery for Tesla&#8217;s stock in the near future.
Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs lowered its price target on Tesla on Friday from $295 to $285 while reiterating a &#8216;Neutral&#8217; rating, reported Investing.com. The analysts based their revised outlook on weaker monthly data from major regions such as the United States, Europe, and China. Goldman Sachs now projects Tesla's second-quarter deliveries to fall between 335,000 and 395,000 vehicles, depending on June&#8217;s results and how aggressively Tesla employs incentives.
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings shows that Tesla had a strong price trend over the short, medium and long term.

Tesla Stock Climbed Nearly 5% In Friday Pre-Market: What's Going On?

Former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers has sharply criticized the tax bill by the President Donald Trump administration amid the ongoing feud with Elon Musk.
What Happened: Describing the &#8220;Big Beautiful Bill&#8221; as a &#8220;prescription for deadly, dangerous decline,&#8221; Larry Summers listed three key reasons for the climbing U.S. debt burden in an X post.
According to him, the government has not introduced any big spending programs lately that could contribute to the debt.
&#8220;It's not that we've launched all kinds of big new spending programs,&#8221; he said in the post. The reasons for the mounting debt, according to Summers, include;
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>An increase in the population aged over 65 years, which allows them to draw entitlement benefits.</li>
<li>An increase in the costs of things the government pays for, including health care.</li>
<li>Lastly, the interest payments the Treasury is making.</li>
</ul>

In a following post, Summers highlighted that the &#8216;Big Beautiful Bill&#8221; takes on debt on a massive scale that the U.S. &#8220;can't afford.&#8221;

Why It Matters: The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that tax changes from the &#8220;Big Beautiful Bill&#8221;, including extending provisions of the 2017 tax act, would lead to an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45536595/big-beautiful-bill-will-explode-the-deficit-and-make-the-rich-richer-congressional-budget-office-estimates-4-income-fall-for-lowest-decile-of-americans-by-2033">increase in the federal deficit by $3.8 trillion</a>. 
The document also stated, "Household resources would decrease by an amount equal to about 2 percent of income in the lowest decile (tenth) of the income distribution in 2027 and 4 percent in 2033, mainly as a result of losses of in-kind transfers, such as Medicaid and SNAP."
On the other hand, resources would increase by an amount equal to 4% for households in the highest decile in 2027 and 2% in 2033, mainly because of "reductions in the taxes they owe."
Meanwhile, it also underscored a $698 billion reduction in federal subsidies from changes to the Medicaid program and $267 billion less in federal spending for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
Musk also called the bill a &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45757029/elon-musk-slams-congressional-spending-bill-as-a-disgusting-abomination">disgusting abomination</a>&#8221; earlier this week, which followed a very public spat on social media between President Trump and Musk on Thursday. 
Price Action: 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 in premarket on Friday.

Larry Summers Identifies 3 Key Reasons For Rising US Debt, But Doesn't Think Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' Is The Medicine The Country Needs

The ongoing public dispute between the CEO of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), Elon Musk, and President Donald Trump has caused a stir in the financial markets, wiping nearly $155 billion of investor wealth in a single day.
What Happened: The Musk-Trump dynamic took a sharp turn after the former began criticizing the government&#8217;s new tax bill, terming it a &#8220;spending bill&#8221; and calling it a &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45757029/elon-musk-slams-congressional-spending-bill-as-a-disgusting-abomination">disgusting abomination</a>&#8221; earlier this week.
This comes after Musk&#8217;s late May <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45661836/tesla-stock-gains-215-after-hours-as-elon-musk-ends-doge-government-role">exit from the Department of Government Efficiency</a>, or DOGE, which was directed to reducing the &#8220;wasteful spending&#8221; by the administration. &#8211;
On Thursday, Musk and Trump engaged in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45800612/trump-says-musk-has-trump-derangement-syndrome-as-battle-over-bill-heats-up-had-a-great-relationship-dont-know-if-we-will-anymore">very public spat</a> on social media, and both were seen allaying accusations against each other.
These developments dragged the stocks linked to their businesses lower in trade. While Tesla&#8217;s market capitalization dropped from $1,069 billion to $916.7 billion, the firm erased <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/movers-shakers/25/06/45807280/elon-musk-bleeds-34-billion-as-tesla-shares-tank-14-amid-spat-with-trump-how-the-billionaires-fortune-has-fared-so-far-in-2025">$152.3 billion</a> of investor wealth.
Similarly, the market cap of Destiny Tech100 Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DXYZ#NYSE">DXYZ</a>) fund, which owns 34.6% of Musk&#8217;s SpaceX, tumbled from $466 million to $408 million, destroying $58 million of the wealth.
On the other hand, Trump Media &amp; Technology Group Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>) wiped $490 million of the investor wealth, which is held by the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42609228/trump-transfers-entire-djt-stake-to-revocable-trust-ahead-of-inauguration">Donald J.

Why It Matters: Despite the apparent tension, Trump seemed unfazed, in an interview <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/06/05/trump-white-house-aides-signal-a-possible-detente-with-musk-00391502">with</a> Politico on Thursday, stating, &#8220;Oh, it&#8217;s okay.&#8221; 
"It's going very well, never done better." He also mentioned his high favorability ratings, indicating a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45807968/trump-signals-truce-with-elon-musk-after-online-feud-its-going-very-well-never-done-better">possible shift in his stance</a> towards Musk. 
President's aides have even scheduled a call with Musk to potentially resolve the conflict.
However, the shares of these companies witnessed a sharp drop on Thursday.
