MarketAxess Posts Record Credit And Portfolio Trading Volumes In March And Q1 2025, Driven By 20% ADV Surge

Ross Gerber, the president and CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth &amp; Investment Management and chess champion, Gary Kasparov, have publicly criticized Bill Ackman for his defense of President Donald Trump&#8216;s trade war strategies.
What Happened: On Thursday, Gerber responded to a post on X by Ackman, in which the latter defended Trump&#8217;s trade war tactics. Gerber&#8217;s tweet read, &#8220;Bill please. Enough excuses. You're a smart man. This is garbage policy.&#8221; This was in direct response to Ackman&#8217;s suggestion that appearing &#8220;crazy&#8221; in negotiations could be a strategic move.

The post came amid Trump&#8217;s&nbsp;announcement of new tariffs on&nbsp;nearly all U.S. trading partners, a move that has been widely criticized.
Why It Matters: Ackman, CEO of Pershing Square Capital Management, in another post, advised <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44640503/bill-ackman-just-pick-up-the-phonesays-trump-will-reward-early-dealmakers-punish-tariff-retaliation">foreign leaders</a> to reach out to President Trump, describing him as a dealmaker who views the world as a series of transactions. His comments were made following the global markets losing $2 trillion in value due to Trump&#8217;s reciprocal tariffs. 
Gerber and Kasparov&#8217;s criticism of Ackman&#8217;s defense of Trump&#8217;s trade tactics underlines the ongoing debate about the effectiveness and impact of these policies on global trade and the economy. Gerber also commented on Senior Correspondent of Fox Business, Charles Gasparino&#8217;s post stating that the goal of the new tariff policy is to negotiate reciprocal agreements to reduce tariffs with trading partners. Gerber stated, &#8220;This is a bad way to do business.&#8221;
Meanwhile, Kasparov, in the past, has openly criticized Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin&#8216;s style of leadership. He has been consistently supporting Ukraine in the Russia-Ukraine war.

Despite a bloodbath on Thursday following the tariff announcements on several U.S. trading partners, President Donald Trump dismissed the concerns while talking to reporters before boarding Air Force One for his Miami visit.
What Happened: President Trump compared the decline in the stock market to a patient&#8217;s operation and said, &#8220;I think it&#8217;s going very well, it was an operation… It&#8217;s a big thing. I said this would be exactly the way it is. We have $6-$7 trillion coming into our country, and we have never seen anything like it.&#8221;
&#8220;The market is going to boom, the stock is going to boom, the country is going to boom, and the rest of the world wants to see if there is any way they could make a deal,&#8221; he added.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">REPORTER: The markets today are way down. The worst day in years. Because of the tariffs. So, how&#39;s it going?

He made these claims after the U.S. stocks had their worst one-day sell-off since 2020. Both the Dow Jones and the S&amp;P 500 saw their worst trading day since June 2020, and the Nasdaq had its most significant single-day decline since March 2020. Dow&#8217;s 1,679-point drop was the fifth-worst in its history.

Why It Matters: Citing the necessity to rectify the United States&#8217; trade deficit, Trump utilized a 1977 statute to officially declare a trade emergency, subsequently introducing new tariffs on Wednesday.
He imposed a blanket 10% tariff on all trading partners and levied more duties on the countries he described as &#8220;bad actors&#8221;.
It is worth noting that China, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Sri Lanka are subject to the most severe tariffs, whereas Canada and Mexico were exempted.
The benchmark indices have moved into correction territory, defined by a decline exceeding 10% from their recent high points.
The S&amp;P 500 index, which peaked at 6,147.43 points on February 19th, has since fallen by 12.22%. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq 100 has seen a more significant drop of 16.65% from its 52-week high of 22,222.61 points, nearing the -20% mark that signifies a bear market.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average, as of Thursday&#8217;s close, was also down, trading 10.05% below its prior high of 45,073.63 points.
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, dropped in premarket trade on Friday. The SPY was down 0.54% to $533.79, while the QQQ declined 0.47% to $448.54, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.

The Treasury Department took action against a Houthi financial network, imposing sanctions on cryptocurrency wallets used by the Iran-backed militant group to fund its war machine.
What Happened: According to a&nbsp;Wednesday press release, the&nbsp;Department of the Treasury's Office&nbsp;of Foreign Assets Control identified eight digital&nbsp;wallets used by the Yemen-based group to help procure millions worth of weapons and commodities, including stolen Ukrainian grain, from Russia.
The sanctions targeted Russian-based&nbsp;Afghan nationals Hushang and Sohrab&nbsp;Ghairat, who have facilitated commercial&nbsp;operations on behalf of the&nbsp;Houthis, and particularly Sa'id al-Jamal,&nbsp;who had cryptocurrency addresses included&nbsp;in his December 2024 sanctions&nbsp;designation.
Further investigation by Chainalysis, a firm that <a href="https://www.chainalysis.com/blog/ofac-sanctions-houthi-network-crypto-money-laundering-russia-april-2025/">tracks</a> illicit cryptocurrency activity, revealed that the wallets moved nearly $1 billion worth&nbsp;of funds linked to sanctioned&nbsp;entities. The majority of the transactions funded Houthi operations in Yemen&nbsp;and the Red Sea region.
Moreover, Houthis used deposit addresses at Russia-based cryptocurrency Garantex, a known <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44330826/vladimir-putin-said-nobody-can-ban-bitcoin-now-russia-reportedly-leverages-btc-to-evade-sanctions-when-selling-oil-to-china-india">facilitator </a>of money laundering, which received over $45 million. The group processed nearly $2.5 million involving wallets previously identified as being involved in funding Hamas, the group <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43780545/israel-to-begin-negotiations-with-hamas-for-permanent-cease-fire-release-of-remaining-hostages">embroiled in a conflict</a> with Israel, Chainalysis said.

Why It Matters: The U.S. airstrikes in Yemen earlier this month <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/global/25/03/44347638/houthi-retaliation-threats-follow-us-airstrikes-in-yemen-trump-warns-iran-to-beware">resulted in several casualties</a>, leading the Houthis to issue a warning of retaliation. This retaliation threat has escalated tensions in the region.
The Houthis are an armed rebel group from Yemen known for their opposition to Israel. They are backed by Iran&#8217;s Islamic Revolutionary Guards.
The group has been attacking ships in the Red Sea, a key global trade route, since late 2023, following the breakout of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/israel-hamas-war">Israel-Hamas war</a>. The U.S. has responded with airstrikes to weaken the Houthis' ability to launch these attacks.

Iran-Backed Houthi Group Faces Sanctions On Cryptocurrency Wallets Funding War Efforts

The Hershey Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HSY#NYSE">HSY</a>) is deepening its push into the <a href="https://www.thehersheycompany.com/en_us/home/newsroom/press-release/2025-04-03-The-Hershey-Company-Announces-Intent-to-Acquire-LesserEvil.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">savory snacking space with a new acquisition</a>. The confectionery giant announced on Thursday it struck a definitive deal to acquire LesserEvil, a brand known for its organic and boldly flavored snacks.
This move reflects Hershey&#8217;s ongoing effort to expand its snacking portfolio from iconic sweets such as Reese&#8217;s and Jolly Ranchers and build momentum in the better-for-you snack sector.
The acquisition is valued around $750 million, according to a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.wsj.com/business/deals/hershey-nears-750-million-deal-for-lesserevil-popcorn-brand-4ca3d468?mod=lead_feature_below_a_pos1" rel="noreferrer noopener">report </a>from the Wall Street Journal. The report also mentioned that the total value of the deal could increase if LesserEvil meets specific performance targets.
LesserEvil&#8217;s leadership will remain intact following the acquisition and will continue overseeing its innovation pipeline and manufacturing capabilities.
&#8220;Investing in&nbsp;LesserEvil&nbsp;brings a multi-category, better-for-you snacks platform to extend our offerings into new categories and forms, reaching new consumers in more eating occasions,&#8221; said&nbsp;Hershey&#8217;s President and Chief Executive Officer, Michele Buck.

&#8220;This high-growth brand not only complements our beloved confection and salty snack brands but also brings additional manufacturing capabilities and capacity to meet growing consumer and retailer needs.&#8221;
Hershey has made strategic bets on brands like SkinnyPop, Dot&#8217;s Homestyle Pretzels, and Pirate&#8217;s Booty.
Hershey indicated that the deal is expected to close later in 2024, pending regulatory approvals. The confectioner held $730.7 million in cash and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/43523301" rel="noreferrer noopener">equivalents as of December 31.</a>
The company&#8217;s fourth-quarter sales of $2.89 billion increased 8.7% Y/Y, outpacing the analyst consensus <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43528027/hersheys-stock-pops-as-q4-earnings-beat-expectationsbut-cocoa-prices-loom-over-2025-outlook" rel="noreferrer noopener">estimate of $2.84 billion.</a>
Hershey&#8217;s&nbsp;North America Confectionery segment net sales were&nbsp;$2.354.2 billion, up 6%&nbsp;while the Salty Snacks segment&nbsp;jumped 35.9% to $278.9 million.
The company had warned that a surge in cocoa prices is expected to put significant <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">pressure on 2025 earnings.</a>
Price Action: HSY shares closed higher by 1.76% at $166.83 on Thursday.

What Happened: Bitcoin developer Ruben Somsen took to X, formerly Twitter, and said that Google had &#8220;permanently removed&#8221; the mailing list for Bitcoindev, the developers&#8217; group behind Bitcoin, for alleged &#8220;illegal content&#8221; or &#8220;policy violations.&#8221;
Somsen expressed confusion, stating that no inappropriate content had been posted, and questioned why Google considered open-source Bitcoin development &#8220;unwanted.&#8221;

Google Removes Bitcoin Developer Mailing List For 'Policy Violations:' Jack Dorsey Calls Out Sundar Pichai For Censorship

On Thursday, April 3, U.S. markets experienced their steepest one-day losses in years, driven by President Trump&#8217;s tariff on U.S. imports, which sparked concerns of a global trade war and potential recession.
Investors fled to safer assets as countries like China and the EU threatened retaliation. Amid the market chaos, traders now expect multiple Federal Reserve rate cuts, with June seen as the likely starting point.
In economic data, U.S. initial jobless claims dropped by 6,000 to 219,000 for the week ending March 29, beating estimates of 225,000. The trade deficit narrowed to $122.7 billion in February, lower than the previous month&#8217;s $130.7 billion and the forecasted $123.5 billion. The ISM services PMI fell to 50.8 in March, down from 53.5 in February and below the expected 53.
Most S&amp;P 500 sectors closed lower on Thursday, led by losses in consumer discretionary, energy, and tech stocks, while consumer staples bucked the trend and finished higher.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 3.98% to 40,545.93, the S&amp;P 500 declined 4.84% to 5,396.52, and the Nasdaq Composite fell 5.97% to close at 16,550.61.
