A Closer Look at Citigroup's Options Market Dynamics

Robinhood Markets Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) pioneered commission-free trading, so it&#8217;s no surprise that Robinhood co-founder and CEO Vlad Tenev is a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/vlad-tenev">&#8220;fan of free trade.&#8221;</a>
What To Know: Wednesday on CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Squawk Box,&#8221; Tenev discussed the one thing at the top of every investor&#8217;s mind right now: tariffs.
&#8220;It probably wouldn&#8217;t surprise you to hear that, generally speaking, I&#8217;m a fan of free trade,&#8221; Tenev said in a nod to Robinhood&#8217;s commission-free investing model.
President Donald Trump&#8217;s sweeping reciprocal tariffs went into effect on Wednesday. Markets are jittery as investors await updates on potential negotiations to lower the new duties.
Tenev told CNBC that the one good thing about tariffs is that they can be modified or removed just as quickly as they were introduced. What&#8217;s &#8220;tricky&#8221; is when tariffs are not bilateral, he said. 
&#8220;If there [are] restrictions other countries impose on us and we&#8217;re not doing something about that then we can get into a tricky situation. I think the equilibrium — where we end up — is hopefully going to be something close to bilateral free trade,&#8221; Tenev said. 
Check This Out: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/04/44705344/ray-dalio-says-dont-make-the-mistake-of-thinking-whats-happening-now-is-due-to-trump-tariffs">Ray Dalio Says Don&#8217;t Make The Mistake Of Thinking What&#8217;s Happening Now Is Due To Trump Tariffs</a>
The Robinhood CEO didn&#8217;t want to make a prediction about how negotiations will play out, but he did note that he expects the trade disagreements to be resolved &#8220;before too long.&#8221;
In the meantime, Robinhood customers are approaching the drawdown in markets in various ways. Some investors are depositing cash and buying the weakness, while others are using more sophisticated instruments to play the volatility or even bet on further downside, he said. 
&#8220;The longer the tariffs go on, the more companies will have to adjust. And I think part of the hope is that over the very, very long run, this leads to increased U.S. manufacturing domestically &#8230; and I think to some extent, we all want that. Short term, I think there&#8217;s uncertainty here and we&#8217;re all watching,&#8221; Tenev said. 
HOOD Price Action: Robinhood shares were up 1.68% at $34.74 at the time of publication Wednesday, per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Treasure Global Shares Resume Trade

Wall Street saw a tentative tech rebound early Wednesday, as investors begin to shrug off escalating U.S.-China trade tensions following <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">a steep market selloff.</a>
After the Trump administration announced a dramatic hike in tariffs on Chinese goods to 104% starting Wednesday, Beijing retaliated with an 84% tariff on American products. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent defended the aggressive trade stance, claiming the impact would ultimately backfire on China.
President Donald Trump took to Truth Social, writing, &#8220;BE COOL! Everything is going to work out well. The USA will be bigger and better than ever before!&#8221; 
He encouraged investors by stating, &#8220;this is a great time to buy, DJT,&#8221; likely referring to Trump Media &amp; Technology Group Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>), rather than the Dow Jones Transportation Index, which has dropped 18% since the tariff news broke.
Yet, broader risk sentiment remains subdued, with investors awaiting either a softer tone from the White House or a signal from the Federal Reserve—though both hopes appear to be fading.
By mid-morning in New York, tech stocks staged a rebound, lifting the Nasdaq 100 by 0.9%. Yet, the S&amp;P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average remained flat, while the Russell 2000 continued to underperform.
Meanwhile, U.S. Treasuries were failing to provide their traditional safe-haven support amid heightened uncertainty and volatility.
The 10-year Treasury yield surged 10 basis points to 4.40%, triggering a sharp selloff in medium- and long-dated bonds. The popular iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) dropped 1.8%, extending its three-day slide to 6.6%—its worst performance since March 2020.
Gold prices, on the other hand, soared over 3% to $3,075 per ounce, on track for their strongest daily gain since October 2023.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) also advanced, rising 1.4% to $77,289.

Tech Stocks Rebound As US Treasuries Tumble: What's Driving Markets Wednesday?

BILLINGSHURST, WEST SUSSEX, UNITED KINGDOM, April 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Energys Group Limited (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENGS#NASDAQ">ENGS</a>) ("Energys Group" or the "Company"), a vertically integrated energy efficiency and decarbonization solutions provider for the built environment, today announced that it has entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to acquire a 49% equity interest in Energys Spectrum Limited (the "Target Company"), a Hong Kong-based energy-saving technologies and services provider.
The Target Company specializes in providing end-to-end retrofitting solutions aimed at reducing energy consumption, carbon emissions, and operating costs for both public and private sector clients. As the exclusive licensee of Energys Group in Hong Kong and Macau, the Target Company actively promotes the Energys brand by procuring products and solutions from the Company's wholly-owned operating subsidiary and recommending them to its clients.
The MOU is non-binding and remains subject to the negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement and customary closing conditions. The consideration for the shares to be purchased by the Company will be determined with reference to the valuation of the shares as determined by a professional valuator to be engaged by the Company, and is subject to negotiation between the parties. Among other conditions, the acquisition of the shares is contingent on (i) the Company and the Target Company having agreed on the purchase price for the shares; and (ii) the Company being satisfied with the results of its due diligence review of the Target Company's financial position and business condition.
The Company has paid a refundable deposit of US$5.5 million, which will be applied towards the purchase price of the shares, unless it is forfeited due to the Company not having fulfilled its obligations under the MOU. The MOU provides that the acquisition is to be consummated no later than December 31, 2025.

Treasure Global Shares Halted On Circuit Breaker To The Upside, Stock Now Up 51.3%

Shares of electric vehicle maker Mullen Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MULN#NASDAQ">MULN</a>) are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers">plummeting today </a>after the company said it will implement a 1-for-100 reverse stock split of its common shares, effective April 11, 2025, just after midnight Eastern Time.
The company aims to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/g44710140/mullen-automotive-inc-announces-reverse-stock-split-effective-april-11-2025"> lift its share price to meet Nasdaq's minimum </a>bid requirement and avoid potential delisting.
Mullen stated that its shares will remain listed under the symbol MULN. They&#8217;ll begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when markets open on April 11.

The reverse stock split received shareholder approval during the company's annual meeting on March 13. The board was granted the authority to implement a split within a range of 1-for-2 to 1-for-100.
While the move increases the stock&#8217;s per-share price, it does not guarantee continued listing on the exchange.
Following the reverse stock split, each block of 100 existing shares will be combined into a single share. This move will shrink the total number of outstanding common shares from approximately 220 million to nearly 2.2 million. 
The company will not issue partial shares; instead, any fractional holdings will be rounded up to the next full share.
All outstanding equity-based instruments such as awards, warrants, and convertible notes will be proportionally revised to align with the updated share count. 
However, the total shares reserved under the company's 2022 Equity Incentive Plan will not be modified. The par value and the overall number of authorized shares for both common and preferred stock will also remain the same.
Also, Mullen has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/g44710606/mullen-and-enpower-greentech-inc-enter-partnership-and-supply-agreement-to-build-egis-swift-series">entered a partnership with Enpower Greentech Inc</a>. today, to produce and supply SWIFT series solid-state batteries (SSBs). These advanced lithium-ion batteries will power commercial vehicles and serve a range of industrial uses, including aerospace, marine, medical devices, and drones.
The EV maker had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44645277/why-is-ev-maker-mullen-automotive-stock-skyrocketing-today">assured last week that its electric vehicles</a>, including those from subsidiary Bollinger Motors, are fully manufactured in the U.S. and unaffected by new tariffs on imported EVs and parts. 
Price Action: MULN shares traded lower by almost 25% at last check Wednesday.

'Exclusive: Fed's Barkin says tariff price hikes could start by June' - Axios

<ul>
<li>President Donald Trump&#8217;s tariffs are shattering market confidence.</li>
<li>The market is now looking to the Federal Reserve for a reprieve.</li>
<li>Statements from Fed Chair Jerome Powell offer hints of the central bank&#8217;s position.</li>
</ul>
If there has ever been a time when it felt like the market needed saving, it is now.&nbsp;
Amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44618089/trumps-tariffs-surprise-triggers-carnage-magnificent-7-set-to-wipe-out-nearly-700-billion-in-market-value">President Donald Trump&#8216;s controversial tariff policy</a>, the S&amp;P 500 is flirting with bear market territory, dropping as much as 20% from its February all-time high. The Nasdaq is firmly in bear territory, down over 22%. The cryptocurrency market has not been spared. Bitcoin, the market leader, has fallen as much as 32% from its January all-time high.&nbsp;

</ul>
With Trump seemingly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44668830/we-want-fairness-white-house-trade-adviser-navarro-says-trump-administration-is-focused-on-non-tariff-cheating">hell-bent on sticking with the controversial tariffs</a>, many are now looking to the Federal Reserve for a reprieve. Will the central bank step in?
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Traders Bet On Interest Rate Cuts</h2>
Amid the recent market bloodbath, traders are now anticipating five interest rate cuts in 2025, estimating that these cuts could begin as early as May. Specifically, traders place the odds of a 25 basis point cut in May at 50%, according to <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html?redirect=/trading/interest-rates/countdown-to-fomc.html">data</a> from the CME FedWatch Tool.&nbsp;
Traders are not alone in their expectations of a Fed intervention. Comparing the recent market crash to the 1987 stock market crash, the 2008 financial crisis and COVID in 2020, JPMorgan Global Head of Fixed Income Bob Michele <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2025-04-06/fed-can-t-sit-on-the-sidelines-now-michele-says-video">told</a> Bloomberg on Sunday that the Fed may have no choice but to step in, arguing they may not even be able to wait for their next meeting in May to do so.

Adding to the market expectations, Trump is applying direct pressure on the central bank, stating in a Truth Social post on Friday:
&#8220;&#8230;(the slow-moving Fed should cut rates!), food prices are down, there is NO INFLATION.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Will The Fed Bend The Knee?</h2>
However, judging by statements from Fed Chair Jerome Powell on Friday, the central bank does not appear to be in any hurry to yield to market expectations or the president&#8217;s whim.&nbsp;
&#8220;We are well positioned to wait for greater clarity before considering any adjustments to our policy stance. It is too soon to say what will be the appropriate path for monetary policy,&#8221; he <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/04/04/powell-sees-tariffs-raising-inflation-and-says-fed-will-wait-before-further-rate-moves.html">told</a> business journalists at a conference in Virginia, hinting at a wait-and-see approach.

Amid the uncertainty, Maelstrom CIO Arthur Hayes has <a href="https://x.com/CryptoHayes/status/1909043554007286113?t=LeBXzElsnWp2K2SMigQ68Q&amp;s=19">suggested</a> that the MOVE Index is the chart to watch to anticipate the Fed&#8217;s next step.&nbsp;
The MOVE Index measures bond market volatility to offer insight into expected bond yield fluctuations.&nbsp;
&#8220;As it goes higher anyone doing financed treasury or corp bond trades will be forced to sell by higher margin reqs. These are the two mrkts the Fed will defend to death,&#8221; Hayes asserted.
According to Hayes, 140 is the MOVE Index level to watch. At the time of writing, the index is at 125.71.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44656331/if-bitcoin-holds-this-level-between-now-and-april-15-arthur-hayes-says-we-are-out-of-the-woods">The analyst has maintained</a> that a Fed pivot will send Bitcoin to $250,000 by year-end, a target that represents a 220% increase from the current market price of $78,000.
