<ul>
<li>Germany's Bundestag on Tuesday voted in favor of a major fiscal package, with 513 votes in favor and 207 votes against.</li>
<li>The reforms include changes to the long-standing debt brake rule and a 500 billion euro ($548 billion) infrastructure and climate fund.</li>
<li>As it involves changes to the constitution, the package needs a two-thirds majority in parliament, as well as in the Bundesrat, which represents the country's states, to pass.</li>
</ul>
Germany's Bundestag on Tuesday voted in favor of a major fiscal package, which includes changes to long-standing debt policies to enable higher defense spending and a 500 billion euro ($548 billion) infrastructure and climate fund.
Some 513 parliamentary members voted in favor of the plan, while 207 voted against it. There were no abstentions.
&nbsp;
More than two thirds of parliament were needed to support the package in order for it to pass. The law also needs to be approved by the Bundesrat, a body representing the country's states, on Friday to become enshrined in Germany's constitution.
Under the proposed new laws, defense and certain security expenditures above a certain threshold would no longer be subject to the debt brake, which limits how much debt the government can take on and dictates the size of the federal government's structural budget deficit.
Loans taken on as part of the infrastructure fund would also be exempt from the debt brake, while Germany's states would also have greater flexibility around debt.
The Christian Democratic Union, alongside its sister party the Christian Social Union, which jointly won the largest share of votes in Germany's national election in February, proposed the fiscal shift in collaboration with the Social Democratic Party. The factions appear likely to form the incoming coalition government, with the fiscal reform package a by-product of talks about a potential governing partnership between them.
<h2>A tight vote</h2>
Time pressure to pass the reforms is high as they require changes to the constitution and need the support of two thirds of both parliament and the Bundesrat.
&nbsp;
This is likely only possible before the newly elected parliament comes together for the first time next week, as parties opposing the fiscal package will then have a larger share of the vote and could potentially block the plans.
Several of the parties that oppose the reforms have also unsuccessfully launched legal challenges to hinder the vote.
In the lead-up to the Tuesday vote, the CDU-CSU and SPD also had to negotiate for the backing of Germany's Green Party, ultimately agreeing on a <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/14/german-parties-agree-on-historic-debt-deal-sources-say.html">compromise</a> that includes 100 billion euros of the infrastructure fund being allocated to climate and economic transformation efforts and a broadening of the security-related issues exempted from the debt brake.
<h2>A boost to the economy?</h2>
Analysts and economists reacted positively to the initial announcement of the plans earlier this month, viewing them as a potentially major boost for Germany's struggling economy.
The German economy narrowly skirted a technical recession — or two consecutive quarters of economic contraction — throughout 2023 and 2024, but has been effectively stagnant.
The <a href="https://www.oecd.org/en/publications/oecd-economic-outlook-interim-report-march-2025_89af4857-en.html">OECD</a> on Monday said it was now projecting Germany's gross domestic product to grow by an annual 0.4% this year, down from the previously forecast 0.7% expansion. German economic institute <a href="https://www.ifo.de/en/press-release/2025-03-17/ifo-institute-forecasts-near-zero-growth">Ifo</a>, meanwhile, said it was cutting its outlook for the country's economy to 0.2% growth year-on-year.
It comes as Germany is facing sustained infrastructure problems, as well as issues in key industries such as housebuilding and autos. The country is also battling the threat of potential tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump on imports to the U.S. from Europe — which could be especially difficult for Germany due to its high levels of trade with the U.S.

Benzinga Market Summary: S&P Falls Amid Continued Uncertainty Ahead Of Wednesday Fed Decision And Apr. 2 Reciprocal Tariff Deadline, US Dollar Index Rises

Ahead of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/03/44333033/trump-boasts-very-good-chance-of-russia-ukraine-ceasefire-but-zelenskyy-says-putin-broke-deals-25-times-before">much-anticipated phone call</a> between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russia&#8217;s president Vladimir Putin, Bitcoin&#8216;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) price action remains closely tied to the outcome of a potential ceasefire in Ukraine.
What Happened: According to Polymarket <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/russia-x-ukraine-ceasefire-before-july?tid=1742310371455">data</a>, a ceasefire in Ukraine has a 61% chance of being announced until July and a 76% chance of being announced until the end of the year.
Vladimir Putin has signaled openness to the idea of a 30-day ceasefire, but voiced conditions that would first have to be fulfilled.
The outcome of ceasefire negotiations could have a significant impact on Bitcoin:
A successful ceasefire might stabilize global markets, boosting investor confidence and driving Bitcoin higher. 
If sanctions on Russia are eased, <a href="https://www.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">Russia&#8217;s need for Bitcoin</a> in trade might decrease, potentially reducing demand and exerting downward pressure on price.
A failed agreement could increase volatility, with additional sanctions potentially pushing Russia toward greater Bitcoin adoption while dampening broader market sentiment.
An escalation might trigger risk-aversion among investors, leading to sell-offs in Bitcoin, as seen during the initial stages of the Ukraine conflict in 2022, when Bitcoin prices dropped below $40,000.
Thus, the impact on Bitcoin demand remains mixed.
Price Action: Ahead of the negotiation call and FOMC meet tomorrow, BTC prices are trading 1.6% down at $81,734.

What's Next: Market observers will be closely watching the outcome of the Trump-Putin negotiation call, as it could significantly impact Bitcoin's price action and broader market sentiment. 
If geopolitical tensions ease, Bitcoin could find a strong bid from institutional investors, while continued uncertainty may heighten short-term volatility.
While the likelihood of a ceasefire remains uncertain, its potential market effects underscore Bitcoin's evolving role in the global financial landscape.

$1000 Invested In This Stock 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

In the current market session, Hewlett Packard Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HPE#NYSE">HPE</a>) price is at $15.96, after a 0.76% increase. However, over the past month, the stock decreased by 26.84%, and in the past year, by 5.88%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is undervalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1742310923_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Comparing Hewlett Packard P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Hewlett Packard has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 27.57 of the Technology Hardware, Storage &amp; Peripherals industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1742310923_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Chinese leader Xi Jinping is angry about a Hong Kong company's plan to sell Panama Canal ports to a U.S.-led group, in part because the company didn't seek Beijing's approval in advance, people familiar with the matter said.
The Xi leadership had originally planned to use the Panama port issue as a bargaining chip in negotiations with the Trump administration, according to people close to Beijing's decision-making, only to see the rug pulled out from under it.

Investor confidence is slipping fast, with cash levels surging and U.S. equity exposure crumbling to two-year lows, according to Bank of America's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/expert-ideas">Global Fund Manager Survey. </a>
The shift marks the biggest pullback in risk appetite in years, as fears of economic stagnation and a potential trade war weigh on markets.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Are Investors Losing Faith In The US Market?</h3>
The survey, released Tuesday by Bank of America&#8217;s chief investment strategist Michael Hartnett, reveals a sharp drop in investor optimism, with stock allocations plunging and cash holdings rising.
The most notable shift in sentiment is the fading belief in &#8220;U.S. exceptionalism.&#8221; A staggering 69% of fund managers surveyed believe that the theme—centered on the idea that the U.S. economy and stock market can outperform the rest of the world—has peaked.
This has led to a record rotation out of U.S. stocks, with allocation dropping 40 percentage points month-over-month to a net 23% underweight, the lowest since June 2023.
Allocations to global equities have slumped from a net 35% overweight in February to just 6% in March—the lowest level in over four months and one of the largest monthly declines on record. 
Instead of moving into bonds, investors have parked their capital in cash, with allocation rising from from 3.5% to 4.1%.
Although the shift has effectively ended the contrarian &#8220;sell signal&#8221; from Dec. 17, 2024, Hartnett remains cautious, noting that fund managers are not heavily positioned for a recession or a deep bear market.
&#8220;No one is long recession/bonds, and FMS positioning is nowhere near extreme bear/close-your-eyes-and-buy levels,&#8221; he said.
Last week, the S&amp;P 500, tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), fell into a correction after dropping more than 10% from its February peak.
Since 1998, the S&amp;P 500 has experienced 11 corrections of at least 10%, with an average decline of 14.3%. Based on current levels, this would imply a potential drop to 5,268.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Macro Pessimism Nears Record Highs</h3>
Bank of America&#8217;s broadest measure of sentiment, which factors in cash levels, equity allocations and growth expectations, fell from 6.4 in February to 3.8 in March—a seven-month low.
The drop represents the largest single-month decline since March 2020 and the seventh-largest in 24 years. Historically, such sharp sentiment swings have only occurred during major financial crises, including the Great Recession in August 2007 and the European debt crisis in May 2010.
Fund managers are bracing for economic headwinds, with 63% expecting a weaker global economy in the next 12 months. 
This marks the second-largest monthly increase in macro pessimism on record, with data stretching back to 1994. The uncertainty surrounding global trade and inflationary pressures has driven investors toward safer assets.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What Are Fund Managers Betting On?</h3>
Gold remains the favored hedge against a potential economic downturn. If a full-blown trade war erupts, 58% of surveyed fund managers anticipate gold will be the best-performing asset. 
Since the start of the year, the bullion &#8211; tracked by the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>) &#8211; has rallied by 14.3%.
The so-called &#8220;Magnificent Seven&#8221;—referring to tech giants like Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>), Apple Inc.

Howmet CEO Says In Process Of Providing Responses To Customers In Terms Of Quotation Requests After SPS Plant Fire; Company Has Certification For Certain Parts That Had Been Made At SPS Factory; Boeing CEO Move To Seattle Was Necessary; In Some Product Areas, Our Production Rate Is Higher Than Boeing

After Belite Bio Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLTE#NASDAQ">BLTE</a>) reported results, its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BLTE">stock has been under pressure</a>.
The company reported its results amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
HC Wainwright On Belite Bio
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5defa41dbffdfc00019394f4/yi-chen">Analyst Yi Chen</a> maintained a Buy rating and price target of $100.
Belite Bio reported a net loss of $36.1 million, or $1.18 per share, "slightly higher than our estimated loss of $35.7M," Chen said in a note. Last month, the company announced positive results from "a pre-specified interim analysis of the pivotal Phase 3 DRAGON trial of tinlarebant in adolescent Stargardt disease (STGD1) patients," he added.
The trial can now proceed without any modifications and does not need an increase in the sample size, the analyst stated. If the DRAGON trial, which is likely to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2025, shows data that is similar to or better than the Phase 2 data, "tinlarebant could potentially become the first FDA-approved treatment for STGD1," he further wrote.

Cantor Fitzgerald On Belite Bio
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5e454026efd7b7000141bbcd/jennifer-kim">Analyst Jennifer Kim</a> reiterated an Overweight rating on the stock.
Belite Bio reported cash and investments of $145.1 million and gross proceeds of $15 million, Kim said. Enrollment in the DRAGON II trial is ongoing in adolescent STGD1, she added.
The Phase III DRAGON trial is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2025 and the data could be released by early 2026, the analyst stated. "Over the next ~12-18 months, we expect share appreciation to be driven by updates across tinlarebant&#8217;s P3 programs in both STGD1 (DRAGON, DRAGON II) and geographic atrophy (PHOENIX)," she wrote.
BLTE Price Action: Shares of Belite Biohad declined by 0.46% to $67.50 at the time of publication on Tuesday.

Belite Bio Analysts See Potential For Stock Gains With Progress In Key Trials

The Oracle of Omaha is shaking things up this year with a rule change to his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/march-madness">March Madness bracket challenge</a>.
What Happened: In past years, billionaire Warren Buffett offered <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/22/03/26224759/warren-buffett-owns-what-10-berkshire-acquisitions-you-may-have-forgotten">thousands of employees </a>who work at various companies owned by Berkshire Hathaway Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>)(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) the chance to win $1 billion — if they get <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/03/37792771/warren-buffett-once-offered-1b-for-a-perfect-march-madness-bracket-now-pepsi-is-offering-100k-for-">a perfect bracket.</a>
For the 2025 March Madness challenge — which starts with a round of 64 games on Thursday, March 20 — Buffett is now offering a $1 million prize for the person who picks 30 of the 32 first-round games correctly.
"I'm getting older,&#8221; Buffett <a href="https://www.wsj.com/sports/march-madness-tournament-bracket-warren-buffett-05f94416">told </a>The Wall Street Journal. &#8220;I want to give away a million dollars to somebody while I'm still around as chairman.&#8221;
In 2024, around 65,000 of Berkshire's 400,000 employees participated in the challenge. With the odds increasingly better to win $1 million, it will be interesting to see if more people participate.
If no one claims the $1 million prize for at least 30 of the first 32 games picked correctly, a $250,000 prize is offered to the person who selects the most games right out of the 63 total matchups during the NCAA Men's National Basketball Tournament.
While Buffett often bets on making money, this time he's rooting to give away $1 million.
"Just think of the excitement it would create all over the place if somebody gets a million instead." I hope it's this year. We made it easier this year than ever."
Past Berkshire Hathaway employees have gotten at least 30 of the first 32 games correct, including Dwayne Johnson (not the actor/wrestler, but rather a steelworker at Precision Castparts). Johnson picked 31 of the first 32 games correctly and won $100,000 in 2017. If the rules from this year had been in play then, he would have won $1 million.
While the initial challenge to win $1 million got easier, Buffett also has a near-impossible challenge still in play. If anyone in the Berkshire Hathaway challenge correctly guesses the winners of the first 48 games correctly they win $1 million a year for life.

Why It's Important: As Benzinga has previously reported, the odds of selecting a perfect bracket are 1 in 9.2 quintillion if using a coinflip or basic 50/50 odds. The odds improve if using seeds, trends and basketball knowledge to around 1 in 128 billion.
Noone has ever had a perfect bracket in history based on public record.
The odds of winning Buffett's challenges depend on how many upsets there are in the early rounds. In 2019, one in every 3,080 brackets correctly predicted 30 of the first 32 games with minimal upsets. In 2021, one in every 1,578,469 brackets had 30 of the first 32 games correctly predicted based on numerous upsets.
The NCAA has only one bracket on record since 2016 that has correctly picked the first 48 games.
While Buffett is making it easier to win $1 million and a big prize, other companies will likely offer big prizes for perfect brackets, knowing the odds are near impossible.
This year, social media platform X, is <a href="https://x.com/XBusiness/status/1900293498177552601">offering </a>an out-of-this-world prize for anyone that can correctly predict a perfect bracket. Partnering with Uber Eats and SpaceX, X is giving away a trip to Mars on SpaceX's Starship in the future.

<h3>Navigating the Impact of Insider Transactions on Investments</h3>
Investors should view insider transactions as part of a multifaceted analysis and not rely solely on them for decision-making.
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down. 
<h3>Navigating the World of Insider Transaction Codes</h3>
When analyzing transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> tend to focus on those in the open market, detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase,while S signifies a sale.

<h3>Understanding the Significance of Insider Transactions</h3>
Emphasizing the importance of a comprehensive approach, considering insider transactions is valuable, but it's crucial to evaluate them in conjunction with other investment factors.
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down. 
<h3>The Insider's Guide to Important Transaction Codes</h3>
Navigating through the landscape of transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> often prioritize those unfolding in the open market, precisely detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.
