Chamath Palihapitiya has endorsed William "Bill" Pulte as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46512871/trump-says-he-doesnt-need-scott-bessents-advice-to-fire-jerome-powell-i-know-better-than-anybody-whats-good-for-the-market">next chair of the Federal Reserve</a>, calling him an ideal candidate with deep expertise in housing and strong alignment with the Donald Trump administration.
What Happened: On Tuesday, venture capitalist and tech investor Palihapitiya took to X, formerly Twitter, to praise Pulte, the current director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), saying he would be an "exceptional pick" to replace Fed Chair Jerome Powell.
"Bill Pulte would be an exceptional pick to run the Federal Reserve," Palihapitiya wrote. "He is crushing it at Fannie/Freddie and deeply understands rates."
Palihapitiya highlighted Pulte's background in bond markets and housing finance, adding, "An added benefit would be the ability to work seamlessly with the White House. Bill is all of these and would be excellent."

Bill Pulte Is 'Crushing It' And Would Be An 'Exceptional Pick,' Says Chamath Palihapitiya — Backs Trump Ally As Jerome Powell Replacement

Economist Mohamed El-Erian is shedding light on the dislocation in the financial markets, drawing sharp contrasts between a booming tech sector and a weakening sovereign backdrop.
What Happened: On Tuesday, in a post on X, El-Erian pointed out the &#8220;historically unusual combination&#8221; of the S&amp;P 500 hitting record highs, Gold trading at near record highs, while the U.S. Dollar continues to languish. 
He attributes this divergence to a range of factors, most notably the outperformance of U.S. tech companies despite policy volatility and macro uncertainty. &#8220;Well-funded, dynamic, and highly competitive, these companies are thriving despite an unusually high level of policy-induced uncertainty,&#8221; he says.

He compares the prevailing sentiment to &#8220;being a great house in a transitioning neighborhood,&#8221; with the tech sector being the &#8220;great house,&#8221; and the rest of the American economy and policy environment being the &#8220;neighborhood,&#8221; but adds that &#8220;corporate America is not the sovereign.&#8221;
El-Erian concludes by saying that there is more analysis to come, on the &#8220;dispersion with other parts of the economy and three possible reconciliation factors.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Despite the S&amp;P 500 hitting a record high last week, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/07/46402633/sp500-record-highs-narrow-breadth-2025">underlying weakness</a> was hard to ignore, with the median stock still 11% below its 52-week high. The gains are being driven by a narrow group of megacap tech names, while most of the index continues to lag.
This is evidenced by the diverging performances of the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) which tracks the S&amp;P 500, and the Invesco S&amp;P 500 Equal Weight ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RSP#NYSE">RSP</a>), its equal weighted counterpart.

Roubini said, &#8220;Artificial intelligence is set to transform a dozen major sectors, propelling economic growth,&#8221; which he says will lead to 4% growth in the U.S., before hitting 6% by the end of this decade.

GE Vernova Gears Up For Q2 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

Ethereum may have been muffled, but inexpensive alternatives to the second-largest cryptocurrency attracted investors' interest on Tuesday.
What happened: Ethereum Name Service rallied over 7% to become the cryptocurrency market's fourth-largest gainer over the last 24 hours. The coin's trading volume soared 85% to $420 million, indicating significant buying pressure.
Similarly, Ethereum Classic rose over 2% from the previous day, adding to its ongoing boom, which has returned more than 25% to holders over the last month.
On the other hand, ETH barely moved in the last 24 hours, as its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46563353/bitcoin-rises-amid-falling-dollar-ethereum-dogecoin-dip-analyst-warns-gold-movement-toward-all-time-high-not-a-great-sign-for-eth-altcoin-investors">heated rally cooled off</a>.

Why It Matters: When compared to ETH, ENS and ETC have far lower market capitalizations, at $1.08 billion and $330 million, respectively, as well as lower per-unit costs, making them potentially cheaper alternatives to the $450 billion asset.
Ethereum Classic was created as a hard fork of the original Ethereum chain in 2016 due to disagreements within the community after a hack. The new chain inherited the name Ethereum, while the original one functions as Ethereum Classic.
ENS is a token associated with Ethereum Name Service, a decentralized naming system that converts complex, machine-readable names to ones easily understandable by humans.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang once admitted that he no longer separates life from work, stating that he thinks about the chipmaker, even during movies.
What Happened: "I work from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep," Huang said to Stripe CEO Patrick Collison in an <a href="https://stripe.com/in/sessions/2024/a-conversation-with-nvidias-jensen-huang">interview</a> last year.
"I work seven days a week," Huang adds in a clip that&#8217;s resurfaced on social media and gone viral.
"When I'm not working, I'm thinking about working… I sit through movies, but I don't remember them because I'm thinking about work."

The 62‑year‑old billionaire described those reveries as productive, noting, "Sometimes you're imagining the future and boy, if we did this and that. And it's working. You're fantasizing, you're dreaming.&#8221; His ambition, he added, is to "turn Nvidia into one giant AI," believing that might finally deliver downtime.
"How great would that be? And then I'll have work‑life balance," he quipped.

Huang's intensity has steered Nvidia from graphics‑card upstart to the world's most valuable public company, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46321541/nvidia-hits-4-trillion-market-cap-stock-surges-to-all-time-high">topping a $4 trillion valuation</a> on July 9 and currently at $4.08 trillion.
&#8220;The thing is, when you want to build something great it's not easy to do. And when you're doing something that's not easy to do, you're not always enjoying it,&#8221; Huang explains.
Why It Matters: Former workers say that culture means emails at 1 am and seven‑day workweeks, conditions some endure for stock grants. Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-08-26/what-s-it-like-working-at-nvidia-you-may-get-rich-but-work-remains-stressful">said</a> engineers stay until 2 am to meet deadlines.
Huang's marathon schedule echoes the grind embraced by Tesla and SpaceX boss Elon Musk, who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/07/46510590/elon-musk-returns-to-intense-work-schedule-back-to-working-7-days-a-week-and-sleeping-in-the-office">said this month</a> he is "back to working seven days a week and sleeping in the office." In May, Musk likewise told followers he was "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45602416/elon-musk-commits-to-intense-focus-on-x-xai-and-tesla-back-to-spending-24-7-at-work-sleeping-in-conference-server-factory-rooms">spending 24/7 at work</a>, sleeping in conference, server or factory rooms" to keep projects on track.
Both men's philosophies mirror earlier accounts in which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44461713/elon-musk-said-youll-need-to-work-at-least-80-hours-a-week-to-make-an-impact-nobody-ever-changed-the-world-on-40-hours-a-week">Musk urged founders</a> to "work like hell" because "nobody ever changed the world on 40 hours a week," a mantra Huang appears to embody.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Once Said He Watches Movies But Doesn't Remember Them — And Then Explained Why That's Fine By Him

Republican Senators released a discussion draft for the cryptocurrency market structure legislation on Tuesday, building on the recent passage of the CLARITY Act in the House of Representatives.
What Happened:&nbsp;Cynthia Lummis&nbsp;(R-Wyo.), along with Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), Sen.&nbsp;Bill Hagerty&nbsp;(R-Tenn.) and Sen. Bernie Moreno&nbsp;(R-Ohio) announced the release of a&nbsp;discussion draft for market structure&nbsp;legislation aimed at making the U.S.&nbsp;&#8220;the crypto capital of the world.&#8221;
As part of this initiative,&nbsp;the lawmakers&nbsp;have also issued a Request for Information, inviting stakeholders to provide feedback on the draft and relevant questions.
&#8220;We cannot allow regulatory confusion to continue driving American innovation overseas,&#8221; Lummis said. &#8220;This discussion draft represents a thoughtful, balanced approach that will provide the clarity our innovators need while providing robust consumer protections.&nbsp;

Cynthia Lummis Releases Draft Bill That Aims To Make US Global Crypto Capital, Says She Won't 'Allow' Regulatory Confusion To Continue

Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba is facing mounting calls to resign after a stinging election loss, just as U.S. President Donald Trump announced a landmark $550 billion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/07/46562556/trump-says-550-billion-trade-deal-with-japan-reached-that-will-create-thousands-of-jobs-there-has-never-been-anything-like-it">trade deal with Japan</a>.
What Happened: On Wednesday, senior executives of Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party said that Ishiba's resignation is now seen as inevitable following the coalition's poor performance in Sunday's House of Councillors election, <a href="https://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20250723/p2g/00m/0na/019000c">reported </a>Japanese newspaper The Mainichi.
The prime minister is expected to make a final decision in August amid rising discontent within party ranks.
However, previously, the BBC <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8xvn90yr8go">reported</a> that Ishiba stated he has no plans to resign and will focus on trade negotiations. 
At the time of writing, markets were responding positively to the trade deal announcement, with the Nikkei 225 surging over 3% to a new 52-week high.

Why It's Important: Japan's ruling coalition lost its majority in the upper house after a closely contested election. The coalition of the LDP and Komeito secured only 47 of the 50 seats needed to retain control.
The loss, following last year's lower house defeat, weakens the coalition's political influence.
Meanwhile, Trump revealed on Tuesday that the U.S. has reached a sweeping trade agreement with Japan. He said the deal will bring $550 billion in Japanese investment to the U.S., with America claiming 90% of the profits.
Trump said the agreement includes Japanese market access for U.S. cars, trucks, rice, and agricultural products, along with reciprocal 15% tariffs on imports.
The deal follows Trump's earlier threats to impose tariffs as high as 35% on Japanese goods if no deal was reached by August 1.

Japan PM Ishiba Resignation Seen As Inevitable, Decision Expected In August: Report

Sentiment among corporate insiders has plunged to an unprecedented low, as evidenced by the substantial insider selling activity seen in recent months. 
What Happened: On Tuesday, a post on X by The Kobeissi Letter highlighted that across most public equities, insiders have been net sellers this year. &#8220;Insiders have rarely been this bearish before,&#8221; it says.
&#8220;Only 11.1% of companies with insider activity are seeing more buying than selling by corporate officers and directors,&#8221; the post says, noting that these figures mark &#8220;the lowest share on record.&#8221;

&#8220;This means insiders were net sellers in almost 90% of companies with recent transactions,&#8221; which is seen as a key indicator for the markets, since insiders are often viewed as having the most informed outlook on their companies and respective sectors. 
Historically, it has held well above current levels, the post notes, never having fallen below 15% over the past decade, highlighting the growing pessimism among corporate insiders in recent months.
The post notes that &#8220;insiders were either neutral or negative in 10 of the 11 S&amp;P 500 sectors,&#8221; the only exception being &#8220;utilities,&#8221; which showed positive sentiment during this period.
&#8220;Selling was also broad-based across company sizes, from small to large-cap stocks,&#8221; it says, referring to it as &#8220;an interesting divergence.&#8221;

'Insiders Have Rarely Been This Bearish': Selling Spree By Executives Sweeps Across S&P 500, But There Is One Sector Bucking The Trend

Elon Musk's artificial intelligence startup xAI is reportedly seeking to raise up to $12 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45989796/elon-musks-xai-seeks-5-billion-in-debt-faces-lukewarm-demand-even-with-12-yields-on-the-table-report">billion in debt</a> to fund a massive AI supercomputing infrastructure powered by Nvidia Corporation's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) chips.
What Happened: xAI is working with Valor Equity Partners to line up financing from lenders, with the capital earmarked for purchasing high-end Nvidia GPUs, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/elon-musk-x-ai-funding-feecede1?mod=tech_lead_pos1">reported</a> the Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the situation.
The chips would be leased back to xAI to support its AI chatbot Grok and broader large language <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46335602/elon-musk-s-xai-launches-grok-4-with-phd-level-ai-debuts-in-300-month-supergrok-tier">model training efforts</a>.
On Tuesday, Musk posted on X, formerly Twitter, that xAI is currently training Grok on 230,000 GPUs, including 30,000 Nvidia GB200 AI chips. He also revealed that a new supercluster with 550,000 GB200 and GB300 chips will soon be operational.

Why It's Important: Earlier this month, it was announced that Musk&#8217;s xAI has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46187301/elon-musks-xai-secures-10-billion-in-debt-and-equity-amid-soaring-burn-rate-as-ai-arms-race-intensifies">raised $10 billion</a> — $5 billion in debt and $5 billion in strategic equity — to expand its AI infrastructure.
The latest funding talks come just weeks after the Financial Times reported xAI was exploring a new equity round that could value the company between $170 billion and $200 billion.
At the time, Musk said <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46380521/elon-musk-rejects-reports-that-xai-is-looking-to-raise-additional-funds-at-200-billion-valuation-we-have-plenty-of-capital">xAI was not seeking capital</a>, asserting, "We have plenty of capital."
However, sources told WSJ the new financing may include lender-imposed conditions such as repayment within three years and borrowing caps to limit risk.
xAI's ambitious plans signal intensifying competition in the global AI arms race, where rivals like OpenAI, Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google and China's DeepSeek are also scaling up infrastructure.
According to Benzinga&#8217;s Edge Stock Rankings, Nvidia maintains strong upward momentum across short, medium and long-term timeframes. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound'">Additional performance details can be found here</a>.

What Happened: Bitcoin climbed to an intraday high of $120,269.97 before sliding to the early $119,000s overnight. The coin's trading volume rose by 6.14% over the last 24 hours.
The rise comes <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/07/46542011/gold-surges-above-3400">amid a weakening dollar and falling Treasury yields</a>, as expectations for interest rate cuts remain elevated. Spot gold also surged to its highest point in over a month.
Ethereum's advance, on the other hand, calmed down as investors began taking profits after the second-largest cryptocurrency went beyond $3,800. The coin was still up 20% in a week.
Cryptocurrency liquidations hit $390 million in the last 24 hours, with $256 million in long positions erased. Ethereum alone recorded $130 million in liquidations.&nbsp;
Bitcoin's open interest rose 1.12% in the last 24 hours to $86.20 billion, while funds locked in Ethereum's derivatives declined by 3.36%.
"Greed" sentiment strengthened from 72 to 74 in the last 24 hours, according to the Crypto Fear &amp; Greed Index.

Analyst Notes: Widely followed chartist Ali Martinez noted Bitcoin's consolidation around the $121,000 mark, with buying pressure suggesting that the rally would sustain.

CORRECTION: Seaport Global Initiates Coverage On Avidia Bancorp with Buy Rating, Announces Price Target of $18

On Tuesday, Cathie Wood&#8216;s Ark Invest made a notable move by purchasing shares of NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) amid concerns surrounding a significant AI project. 
The Nvidia Trade
Ark Invest acquired 11,973 shares of the Jensen Huang-led company through its ARK Space Exploration &amp; Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKX#BATS">ARKX</a>). The purchase was valued at approximately $1.99 million, calculated using NVIDIA&#8217;s latest closing price of $167.03. This move comes amidst a backdrop of uncertainty for NVIDIA, as the company&#8217;s stock experienced a decline following reports of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46557593/nvidia-stock-slides-as-500b-stargate-ai-venture-reportedly-stalls">delays in the Stargate AI venture</a>.

According to Spencer Hakimian of Tolou Capital Management, Japanese automakers like Toyota are surging on news of a 15% tariff, because they can now sidestep the tariff issues plaguing their American counterparts, such as those on steel, copper, and their regional production.
&#8220;Toyota only has to pay 15% more and they&#8217;re done with all the shenanigans,&#8221; he says, while adding that the U.S. has given Japanese automakers an advantage over local players, all in hopes of &#8220;bringing auto jobs back to America.&#8221;

Trump Trade Deal With Japan Sends Toyota, Mazda Stock Soaring, Nikkei Rises Sharply

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) has reportedly been aggressively expanding its artificial intelligence team by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43518599/microsoft-poaches-top-deepmind-ai-talent-behind-googles-podcasting-feature-mustafa-suleymans-zurich-ai-lab-expands">poaching top engineers</a> from Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google DeepMind.
What Happened: Over the past few months, Microsoft has hired roughly two dozen employees from Alphabet's DeepMind, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/22/microsoft-google-deepmind-ai-talent.html">according</a> to a CNBC report citing a person familiar with the matter.
Among the high-profile hires is Amar Subramanya, a 16-year Google veteran who helped develop the Gemini assistant. He announced this week on LinkedIn that he's joined Microsoft AI as a corporate vice president.
In June, Adam Sadovsky, a distinguished software engineer with nearly 18 years at Google, made a similar jump to become a CVP at Microsoft.
Sonal Gupta, formerly an engineering lead at DeepMind, also joined Microsoft AI this month. In May, Jonas Rothfuss, a former research scientist at DeepMind, made the move as well.

The hires are joining the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42453191/microsoft-plans-to-lead-the-charge-in-ai-healthcare-as-mustafa-suleyman-recruits-google-deepmind-talent-report">Microsoft AI group</a>, led by Mustafa Suleyman, a co-founder of DeepMind who previously ran the AI startup Inflection.
Why It's Important: As Microsoft ramps up its Copilot products and Bing AI capabilities, securing elite talent has become a critical front in the battle for AI dominance, the report said.
The company's aggressive hiring spree also comes despite its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46240607/microsoft-slashes-9000-jobs-while-mark-zuckerbergs-meta-poaches-20-million-worth-of-ai-talent-from-openai-investor-warns-of-jealousy-envy-and-helplessness-among-tech-workers-in-silic">announcement of 9,000 layoffs</a> globally earlier this month.
The DeepMind defection spree also follows reports that Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) has been offering OpenAI staff <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46041399/meta-tried-luring-openais-top-minds-with-massive-paychecks-but-sam-altman-neglected-to-mention-that-hes-countering-those-offers-says-andrew-bosworth">up to $100 million</a> in signing bonuses amid fierce competition for AI expertise.
Meanwhile, Google has hired the CEO and staff of AI startup Windsurf in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46380738/google-beats-openai-secures-windsurf-technology-ceo-and-key-staff-for-2-4-billion">$2.4 billion deal</a>.
Price Action: Microsoft shares are up 20.71% so far this year and have risen 14.07% over the past 12 months. On Tuesday, the stock slipped 0.94% during regular trading, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0717">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

A wallet associated with space technology company SpaceX transferred over $150 million in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) Tuesday, marking its first on-chain activity in over three years.

Kohl's Corp, Krispy Kreme, Lockheed Martin, Circle Internet And Lucid Group: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Editor's Note: This article has been updated to correct an error in the previously stated date and the headline.
President Donald Trump declared on Tuesday that a monumental trade agreement has been reached with Japan. The deal, valued at $550 billion, will see Japan investing heavily in the U.S., with America receiving 90% of the profits.
What Happened: Trump emphasized the job creation potential, stating it would generate hundreds of thousands of jobs. Additionally, Japan will open its markets to U.S. cars, trucks, rice, and other agricultural products, while agreeing to a reciprocal tariff of 15% on U.S. imports.
&#8220;Japan will invest, at my direction, $550 Billion Dollars into the United States, which will receive 90% of the Profits,&#8221; said Trump. He added, &#8220;This Deal will create Hundreds of Thousands of Jobs — There has never been anything like it.&#8221;
Trump&#8217;s announcement, made through a post on Truth Social, comes after a series of tense trade negotiations with Japan, where he had previously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46213186/trump-threatens-35-tariffs-on-japan-as-trade-deadline-looms-not-sure-were-going-to-make-a-deal">threatened tariffs</a> as high as 35% if no agreement was reached.
