The RSI is a momentum indicator, which compares a stock&#8217;s strength on days when prices go up to its strength on days when prices go down. When compared to a stock&#8217;s price action, it can give traders a better sense of how a stock may perform in the short term. An asset is typically considered oversold when the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/rsi"> RSI is below 30</a>, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Earnings Misses

Northern Technologies Q2 2025 Adj EPS $(0.03) Misses $0.06 Estimate, Sales $19.07M Miss $20.20M Estimate

U.S. stock futures were lower on Thursday after staging a stellar recovery on Wednesday after a tariff pause. Futures of major benchmark indices were down in premarket.
President Donald Trump attributed the tariff pause to negotiation efforts by roughly 75 non-retaliating nations in a Truth Social post.
Amid investor anxiety regarding trade barrier impacts on the economy, the investors will keep an eye on the upcoming Consumer Price Index data. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell emphasized last week that there is &#8220;no rush&#8221; to lower rates.
Economists&#8217; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44716504/sink-or-swim-why-this-weeks-inflation-report-is-crucial-for-markets">median forecast anticipates</a> a 2.6% annual increase in the overall CPI for March 2025, a moderation from February&#8217;s 2.8% and the smallest inflation figure since October 2024. Monthly price growth is projected to be a mere 0.1%. 
The core CPI, excluding volatile food and energy prices, is expected to ease slightly to a 3.0% year-over-year rate, compared to February&#8217;s 3.1%. However, the monthly core CPI is predicted to rise to 0.3%, an increase from the previous month&#8217;s 0.2% pace.
The 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.29% and the two-year bond was at 3.85%. 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 79.8% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its May meeting.

Cues From Last Session:
Fueled by President Trump&#8217;s unexpected 90-day tariff pause for non-retaliating nations, U.S. stocks soared on Wednesday, with consumer discretionary, information technology, and communication services sectors leading the charge.
The S&amp;P 500 recorded its largest single-day gain since 2008. Notable individual movers included Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) up over 15%, Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) surging around 19%, and Tesla Inc.

Insights From Analysts:
Charlie Bilello from Creative Planning said in an X post that the S&amp;P 500 logged its third-biggest one-day gain since 1950 on Wednesday.
After logging the biggest one-day gains in the past, the &#8220;Stocks moved substantially higher over the next 1, 3, 5 years every time,&#8221; he added.

Ryan Detrick from Carson Research cited historical data and concluded that after the S&amp;P 500 index gains over 5% in one day, the returns on the next day and in the next week are &#8220;fairly weak.&#8221;
On average, after such a gain, the S&amp;P 500 index falls by 0.7% the next day and by 1.7% in the next five days. However, the yearly gains after such a day are usually 26.9%.

Bridgewater Associates&#8217; billionaire founder, Ray Dalio, in an X post, praised Trump&#8217;s move to shift from escalating tensions to negotiation, calling it &#8220;a much better way,&#8221; and then pressed the President to finalize a trade agreement with China and reduce the fiscal deficit to 3% of GDP.
Dalio proposed a China deal featuring &#8220;appreciating the RMB against the dollar,&#8221; achievable through &#8220;Chinese selling dollar assets while also easing their fiscal and monetary policies to stimulate their demand.&#8221;

Earnings Scheduled For April 10, 2025

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed easing in the overall fear level, while the index remained in the &#8220;Extreme Fear&#8221; zone on Wednesday.
U.S. stocks settled sharply higher on Wednesday, with the Dow Jones index jumping more than 2,900 points during the session.
The S&amp;P 500 also jumped 9.52% to record its biggest single-day surge since 2008 as investors cheered a surprise announcement from President Donald Trump: a 90-day pause on tariffs for countries that have not retaliated against U.S. trade measures.
However, Trump&#8217;s latest Truth Social post slammed China for showing "a lack of respect" and declared an immediate 125% tariff hike on Chinese goods.

<h3>Exploring the Significance of Insider Trading</h3>
It's important to note that insider transactions alone should not dictate investment decisions, but they can provide valuable insights.
In the realm of legality, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are required to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Notably, when a company insider makes a new purchase, it is considered an indicator of their positive expectations for the stock.
Conversely, insider sells may not necessarily signal a bearish stance on the stock and can be motivated by various factors.

A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C indicates the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

<h3>Understanding the Significance of Insider Transactions</h3>
Insider transactions, although significant, should be considered within the larger context of market analysis and trends.
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.

As of May-end, the company had investments in joint ventures of $24.2 million, including cash of $13.4 million.
G. Patrick Lynch, President and CEO of NTIC said, &#8220;While the timing of approximately $600,000 of shipments impacted third quarter ZERUST&#xAE; oil and gas sales, demand for our oil and gas solutions is expanding. As a result, we expect to experience a significant rebound in oil and gas sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.&#8221;
&#8220;In addition, we continue to make strategic investments in our operations aimed at supporting additional growth opportunities across our global markets – most notably in North America, Brazil, and India. Overall, fiscal 2024 is shaping up to be a strong year of growth, profitability and strategic investments for NTIC.&#8221;&nbsp;
