Wall Street's three-day rally came to a pause on Friday, with major indices hovering near the flatline by midday in New York as caution returned amid mixed signals on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/45004954/china-reportedly-begins-exempting-key-us-imports-from-tariffs-including-pharma-and-aerospace-parts">U.S.-China trade relations.</a>
President Donald Trump claimed to have held a phone call with President Xi Jinping, yet Chinese officials denied that any talks had taken place.
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) extended its rally into a fourth consecutive session, notching its best weekly performance of the year with a 16% gain. On Thursday afternoon, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy introduced a new regulatory framework for self-driving vehicles, saying it aimed to reduce bureaucratic hurdles and advance toward a unified national standard.
T-Mobile US Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NYSE">TMUS</a>) was the biggest laggard of the day, falling 11%, on track for its worst single-day loss since March 2020. This came despite better-than-expected earnings, as its core wireless business posted slower growth than analysts had projected.
Among sectors, consumer discretionary led gains, buoyed by Tesla's 8% gain, while materials underperformed.
In fixed income, Treasury yields declined for a fourth straight session, underscoring how critical Trump's early-week reassurance — that he would not dismiss Fed Chair Jerome Powell — was for bond market sentiment.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note dropped 4 basis points to 4.27%, on course for its lowest close since April 8.
In commodities, gold slid 2%, oil held steady at $62 per barrel, and natural gas rose 1% to $3 per million British thermal units, snapping a 10-session losing streak.
In crypto markets, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) rose 1.2% to $95,000.

Wall Street Rally Pauses, Tesla Heads For Strongest Week In 6 Months: What's Driving Markets Friday?

LyondellBasell Industries N.V. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYB#NYSE">LYB</a>) stock traded lower premarket on Friday after the company reported mixed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/g45003699/lyondellbasell-reports-first-quarter-2025-earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">first-quarter 2025 results</a>.
LyondellBasell posted revenue of $7.677 billion, down 7.6% year-over-year but topping estimates of $7.47 billion. Adjusted EPS came in at 33 cents, missing the consensus of 43 cents.
Adjusted EBITDA stood at 576 million (-40.2% YoY), and the margin contracted 410 bps to 7.5%.
U.S. polyethylene margins fell due to maintenance and higher feedstock costs, while polypropylene volumes rose 12% with better utilization.
European polyethylene profitability improved with increased cracker utilization and seasonal demand; rising natural gas prices hit acetyls and oxyfuels margins.
LyondellBasell used $579 million in operating cash flow in Q1, driven by higher receivables, inventory buildup, and delayed tax payments. The company invested $483 million in capex and returned $543M to shareholders via dividends and buybacks, maintaining a balanced strategy.
LyondellBasell ended the quarter with $1.9 billion in cash and $6.5 billion in total available liquidity, exceeding its 12-month cash conversion target.
LyondellBasell advanced its three-pillar strategy by approving a U.S. propylene expansion, securing cost-advantaged feedstocks in Saudi Arabia, exiting non-core Dutch and refinery assets, and launching a $500M 2025 Cash Improvement Plan.
Peter Vanacker, LyondellBasell&#8217;s chief executive officer, said the company continues to &#8220;take sensible measures&#8221; to strengthen its near-term cash generation amid a prolonged industry downturn. 
&#8220;Our financial and operational discipline enables us to effectively navigate macroeconomic challenges, achieve sustainable growth and provide a strong and reliable dividend throughout the cycle," added Vanacker.
Q2 Outlook: The company expects seasonal demand recovery, easing U.S. feedstock costs, and improved oxyfuels margins amid summer gasoline demand.
LyondellBasell projects Q2 asset operating rates of 85% for North American O&amp;P, 75% for European O&amp;P, and 85% for I&amp;D segments.
Price Action: LYB shares traded lower by 1.34% at $58.40 premarket at the last check Friday.
