Polyrizon Ltd (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLRZ#NASDAQ">PLRZ</a>) saw a dip in its stock value during after-hours trading on Wednesday.
What Happened: The after-hours price of Polyrizon&#8217;s stock was $0.92, marking a 12.02% dip from the previous day&#8217;s closing price of $1.04. This follows a regular trading session surge of 52.47%.

The surge in the stock value on Tuesday follows the company&#8217;s successful appeal to the NASDAQ panel, which enabled it to retain its listing on the exchange. The appeal was crucial for the biotech company, as it faced the risk of being delisted due to non-compliance with Nasdaq&#8217;s listing rules.
Why It Matters: Polyrizon&#8217;s stock value has been on a rollercoaster ride recently. Earlier in July, the company&#8217;s stock value also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/movers/25/07/46425317/12-health-care-stocks-moving-in-tuesdays-intraday-session">experienced a significant increase</a> after the news of its continued Nasdaq listing. This was after a hearing panel confirmed the company&#8217;s compliance with the exchange&#8217;s listing rules.
These developments come on the heels of Polyrizon&#8217;s announcement of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/06/45901285/polyrizon-announces-preclinical-results-from-study-evaluating-its-trap-target-platform-showing-formu">successful preclinical results</a> from a study evaluating its Trap &amp; Target platform. The study showed that the platform&#8217;s formulation achieved targeted deposition in the upper regions of the nasal cavity.
Price Action: PLRZ surged 52.47% to close at $1.04 on July 16, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/plrz">Benzinga Pro</a> data.

Polyrizon Stock Slides After Hours After 52% Surge On Tuesday: Why It Moved

President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;said Tuesday he has secured the commitment of House Republicans to vote in favor of the GENIUS Act after procedural failures halted its progress earlier in the day.
What Happened:&nbsp;In a Truth Social <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114860136006223294">post</a>, Trump said that he had secured the support of 11 out of the 12 necessary Congress members&nbsp;to pass the GENIUS Act, also known as the stablecoin bill. The decision was reached during a meeting in the Oval Office, with&nbsp;Speaker of the House Mike Johnson&nbsp;(R-La.) participating via telephone. 
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="737" height="447" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/16030932/image-189.png" alt="" class="wp-image-987243" style="width:470px;height:auto" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/16030932/image-189.png 737w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/16030932/image-189-300x182.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 737px) 100vw, 737px" /></figure>
&#8220;After a short discussion, they have all agreed to vote tomorrow morning in favor of the Rule,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;I want to thank the Congressmen/women for their quick and positive response.&#8221;
Republicans, including Rep.&nbsp;Marjorie Taylor Greene&nbsp;(R-Ga.), had opposed the Act earlier due to a lack of a clause prohibiting Central Bank Digital Currency and the Speaker&#8217;s refusal to consider amendments.

Trump Says 11 Of 12 Republicans Needed Now Support Stablecoin Bill After Earlier Setback — They've All Agreed To Vote In Favor

As the Donald Trump administration plans up to 200% tariffs on pharmaceutical companies, Emily Field, head of European pharma research at Barclays, has said that it&#8217;s hard to predict which firm would be affected the most by these tariffs, except for Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>).
Check out the current price of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NVO">NVO stock here</a>.
What Happened: Explaining that the pharmaceutical companies as a whole are &#8220;out of favor&#8221; for tariffs, Field <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2025/07/14/barclays-the-pharma-sector-is-very-out-of-favor-for-tariffs.html">told</a> CNBC that it was hard to single out a company that could be the most affected by the levies.
&#8220;It&#8217;s really difficult to say because they have really complex supply chains and companies like to keep it under the wraps,&#8221; she said, adding that &#8220;Novo Nordisk has been called out just because we know a lot of active pharmaceutical ingredients for Wegovy are manufactured in Denmark, so that&#8217;s just one that investors have highlighted.&#8221;
She adds, &#8220;But that could also just be because we have a more concrete idea of how their drug flows. But for the most part, this sector is just very out of favor for tariffs.&#8221;
Talking about the European pharma companies that were planning to invest in the U.S., Field mentioned Novartis AG (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVS#NYSE">NVS</a>), Roche Holdings AG (OTCQX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RHHBY#OTCQX">RHHBY</a>), and AstraZeneca PLC (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZN#NASDAQ">AZN</a>).
&#8220;We have seen from a number of European companies very significant announcements about manufacturing investments in the United States. We have seen that from Novartis, Roche, and we also know that the companies are working with the administration on this &#8216;Most Favored Nation&#8217; (MFN) drug pricing policy,&#8221; she said.
She also added that AstraZeneca is likely considering changing its registration to the U.S. &#8220;All of the companies based in Europe are emphasizing that they are very committed to the U.S. and manufacturing in the U.S.&#8221;
According to Field, this is all connected in some way. &#8220;It could be a combination of tariffs and drug pricing that the industry and administration can strike a deal that is favorable to both parties,&#8221; Field explained.

Why It Matters: Barclays has also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46364024/trump-threatens-200-pharma-tariffs-but-analyst-says-this-stock-is-immune-and-expected-to-benefit-from-levies">cautioned that a 200% pharma tariff</a> would &#8220;inflate production costs, compress profit margins, and risk supply chain disruptions." 
&#8220;We are waiting for the results of the Section 232 investigation from the Commerce Ministry, which is supposed to come by the end of the month. Prior to Trump saying that he was going to announce 200%, I think most have been expecting 25%; however, the industry&#8217;s response is that tariffs will be negative for patients, as it could result in drug shortages,&#8221; Feild said.
These are some pharma ETFs that could be impacted as the long-awaited industry-wide tariffs would be announced &#8220;very soon,&#8221; according to Trump.

Elon Musk&#8216;s strategy to leverage resources across his business empire, including&nbsp;Tesla Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), SpaceX, and xAI, has sparked investor concerns, particularly after a recent controversy involving chatbot Grok.
What Happened: Musk is promoting a &#8216;Muskonomy&#8217; strategy that would allow investors to invest in his various businesses, which include SpaceX, X, xAI, and The Boring Company, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-north-star-ai-tesla-xai-spacex-investments-2025-7">reported</a> Business Insider. He has even promised to prioritize &#8220;longtime shareholders&#8221; if any of his companies go public. This strategy could potentially help Tesla meet its AI demands for autonomous driving by leveraging resources across Musk&#8217;s other companies.
Check out the current price of&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.com/quote/aapl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">TSLA stock here</a>.
However, this strategy carries notable risks. For example, Grok's recent controversy over anti-Semitic content on X has raised alarms about incorporating the chatbot into Tesla's electric vehicles. Additionally, Musk's move last year to redirect a $500 million shipment of Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) chips—originally meant for Tesla—to X and xAI triggered concern among investors. Musk defended the move, saying it was beneficial for Tesla as the company lacked the infrastructure to utilize the chips at the time.
Analyst Gadjo Sevilla from EMARKETER, expressed concern about Musk&#8217;s strategy of &#8220;cannibalizing one business to prop&nbsp;up another one could take its toll.&#8221; This could potentially delay innovation at Tesla, warned the analyst.
Meanwhile, Garrett Nelson, senior VP and equity analyst at CFRA Research, pointed out that other companies usually conduct the interplay under &#8220;one corporate umbrella.&#8221; However, with Musk, &#8220;the relationship and interplay between his private companies and a public company (Tesla)&#8221; is the key distinguishing factor.

Why It Matters: Musk&#8217;s &#8216;Muskonomy&#8217; strategy comes at a crucial time for Tesla, which is currently facing an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46392190/tesla-identity-crisis-musks-xai-vote-could-rewrite-the-ev-makers-dna">identity crisis</a>. Musk recently announced that Tesla shareholders would vote on a potential investment in his AI venture, xAI, raising questions about whether Tesla is evolving into an AI-fueled tech conglomerate. 
While veteran investor Gary Black suggested that a shareholder vote would be the fairest way to decide on a potential merger between Tesla and xAI, some are questioning Musk&#8217;s plans to sell xAI.
Musk has been vocal about his desire for Tesla to invest in xAI, but has left the final decision to the shareholders. Despite the potential risks, some analysts believe that xAI is worth the bet, as it could significantly benefit Tesla&#8217;s AI ambitions.

Vlad Tenev, the CEO of Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>), is defending his company&#8217;s bold move to give retail investors exposure to shares in high-profile private companies such as SpaceX and OpenAI, without seeking their permission. 
Check out the current price of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/HOOD" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">HOOD stock here.</a>
What Happened: Speaking on the 20VC podcast on Tuesday, Tenev revealed that Robinhood's new tokenization platform offers access to private market exposure for retail investors through structured instruments, effectively bypassing the need for companies to opt in.
Tenev says, &#8220;It's important for the tokenization mechanism to work without the opt-in of the companies that are being tokenized,&#8221; and he believes that&#8217;s the actual innovation that his company&#8217;s been able to drive.

He notes that the initiative has received pushback from a few of the companies involved. &#8220;They were a little bit upset by this,&#8221; he says, specifically referencing OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT. Tenev says the company issued a cautionary statement in response to this, which he describes as &#8220;a little bit gratuitous.&#8221;
Tenev, nonetheless, remains committed to Robinhood&#8217;s broader mission of democratizing finance. &#8220;Everyone likes tokenization in principle, right? But it's not really as attractive when it's being done to you,&#8221; he says. 
&#8220;Some of the most important companies of our time have not been accessible to retail, and I think that's a huge problem,&#8221; Tenev says.
Neither SpaceX nor OpenAI immediately responded to Benzinga&#8217;s requests for a comment on this matter. This story will be updated as soon as we hear back.
Why It Matters: According to Matt Hougan, the chief investment officer at Bitwise Asset Management, tokenization represents <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/07/46420155/the-tokenization-market-has-a-4-000x-growth-potential-according-bitwise-heres-the-cleanest-way-to-in">a 4,000x opportunity</a>, with stocks and bonds alone worth over $257 trillion combined.

Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev Defends Tokenizing Elon Musk's SpaceX, Sam Altman's OpenAI: 'They Were A Little Bit Upset…'

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) has signed a $500 million deal with MP Materials (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MP#NYSE">MP</a>), a Pentagon-backed company, to secure a supply of rare earth magnets. This agreement is a strategic step to ensure a consistent supply of critical components and reduce reliance on China.
What Happened: This deal, announced on Tuesday, is one of the first U.S. supply agreements signed by a tech company following China&#8217;s export restrictions earlier this year, reported Reuters.
&#8220;Rare earth materials are essential for making advanced technology, and this partnership will help strengthen the supply of these vital materials here in the United States,&#8221; said Apple CEO Tim Cook.
The deal includes a $200 million prepayment from Apple and will support production at MP's upcoming facility in Fort Worth, Texas, using recycled materials from its site in Mountain Pass, California.

Apple did not disclose which products would use the magnets, but MP said the supply would support hundreds of millions of devices.
The agreement is part of Apple's larger $500 billion, four-year investment commitment to the U.S. economy. Analysts said Apple saw the expense of supporting U.S. magnet production as minor compared to the long-term risk of potentially losing access to these critical components altogether.
Why It Matters: The deal between Apple and MP Materials comes at a time when the global supply chain for rare earth materials is under strain.
China, the largest producer of rare earths, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45826735/china-grants-temporary-rare-earth-licenses-to-us-automakers-suppliers">halted exports in March</a> following a trade dispute with the U.S. This move led to increased demand for non-Chinese supply, prompting companies like Apple to seek alternative sources.
Earlier this month, economist Craig Shapiro warned that the U.S. faces a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46214341/china-showed-its-death-grip-on-rare-earths-during-trump-tariff-war-but-craig-shapiro-says-this-2-billion-plan-will-secure-us-supply-heres-how">serious supply chain risk</a> due to its dependence on China for rare earth magnets—essential for EVs, AI, and defense technologies. However, he believed the issue is fixable with a relatively modest investment of $1–2 billion.
His proposed strategy includes accelerating domestic projects using the Defense Production Act, building magnet plants, forming global alliances, and stockpiling materials.
Shapiro emphasized speed and access over ideology, advising investors to focus on scarcity and consider stocks like MP Materials, Lynas, and other rare earth and strategic metals plays.
Price Action: Apple shares rose 0.23% to close at $209.11 on Tuesday, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Apple Strikes $500 Million Deal With MP Materials To Reduce China Reliance On Critical Magnets

Larry Ellison, Oracle Corp.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) co-founder and chairman, has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45919978/larry-ellison-overtakes-jeff-bezos-mark-zuckerberg-to-become-worlds-second-richest-amid-oracles-watershed-moment">once again</a> overtaken Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) CEO Mark Zuckerberg to become the world's second-richest person. This is despite them both having $251 billion net worth.
What Happened: According to Bloomberg's Billionaire <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/">Index</a>, Ellison and Zuckerberg are tied at $251 billion, but because Ellison has gained $59 billion this year while the Meta CEO is up $43.4 billion, the Oracle co-founder might have placed above.
This ranks him just after Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, who remains the world's richest person at $358 billion.
Others in the top five wealthiest individuals list are Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) founder Jeff Bezos and former Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) CEO Steve Ballmer, with net worths of $247 billion and $174 billion, respectively.&nbsp;

Why It&#8217;s Important: Ellison's wealth, more than 80% of which is tied to Oracle stock and options, soared as Oracle shares climbed 47.27% in the last six months, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-15/ellison-overtakes-zuckerberg-as-world-s-second-richest-person">reported </a>Bloomberg.
The rally followed news on Tuesday that the U.S. government would <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46409079/nvidia-growth-estimates-get-10-boost-as-us-lifts-china-chip-export-curbs-gene-munster-predicts-30-35-growth-for-2026">ease export restrictions</a>, allowing chipmakers like Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) to resume selling some semiconductors to China.
Oracle, which relies on high-end chips for its cloud and AI infrastructure, was among the top beneficiaries of the policy shift with a gain of 2.48% during Tuesday's regular trading session, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
The company has also inked <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44188361/nvidia-powers-openai-and-oracles-100-billion-stargate-first-ai-data-center-set-to-launch-in-texas">multibillion-dollar cloud deals</a> and ramped up partnerships with firms including OpenAI and SoftBank Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>) as part of its Stargate initiative.
Oracle's stock has also nearly tripled since OpenAI released ChatGPT in November 2022, the report said.
According to Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings, Oracle is demonstrating strong positive momentum in the short, medium and long term. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound'">Additional performance insights are available here</a>.

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed a decline in the overall market sentiment, while the index moved to the &#8220;Greed&#8221; zone on Tuesday.
U.S. stocks settled mostly lower on Tuesday, with the Dow Jones index falling more than 400 points during the session following a mixed bag of earnings from big banks. The Nasdaq 100 surged to fresh record highs on Tuesday, breaking above the 23,000 mark as Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and other chipmakers powered a sharp rally.
Wells Fargo &amp; Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>) reported better-than-expected second-quarter adjusted EPS results. JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) reported upbeat second-quarter earnings.
On the economic data front, U.S. inflation accelerated for a second straight month. The headline consumer price index rose 2.7% year-over-year in June, the highest since February and in line with expectations. However, core inflation, which strips out food and energy, came in slightly below forecasts at 2.9%, versus 3.0% expected.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a negative note, with financial, materials and health care stocks recording the biggest losses on Tuesday. However, information technology stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session higher.
The Dow Jones closed lower by 436 points to 44,023.29 on Tuesday. The S&amp;P 500 fell 0.40% to 6,243.76, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.18% to 20,677.80 during Tuesday's session.

What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
At a current reading of 73.6, the index moved to the &#8220;Greed&#8221; zone on Tuesday, versus a prior reading of 76.2.
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.
