Shares of railroad, shipping and transportation companies are trading higher amid overall market strength after the US and China agreed to a temporary reduction in most tariffs on each other's goods. This could alleviate some macro uncertainty and potentially support shipping activity.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has been actively buying stocks in 2025, including transactions that may have been perfectly timed<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/44852406/marjorie-taylor-greene-brushes-off-stock-buying-criticism-says-portfolio-manager-bought-the-dip"> during a market dip.</a>

In total, that's more than 50 different stocks bought and disclosed by Greene in the latest filing. Based on the purchase range of $1,001 to $15,000, this would make the transaction range over $50,000 and up to more than $800,000.

Why It's Important: Members of Congress are allowed to buy and sell stocks as long as they properly disclose the transaction.
The process has drawn scrutiny from the public and retail investors as members of Congress could have inside information and time their trades accordingly. Committee assignments in particular, often draw red flags from investors.
Greene serves on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability and the House Committee on Homeland Security with several subcommittee appointments. The congresswoman's past trade in technology and cybersecurity stocks has drawn attention with her role within Homeland Security.
Greene&#8217;s past trades of Palantir Technologies and a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44255172/marjorie-taylor-greene-buys-more-bitcoin-etf-shares-ahead-of-trumps-strategic-reserve-executive-order"> Bitcoin ETF </a>have drawn criticism along with the timing of her trades, as she is a close ally to President Donald Trump. 
When asked previously about buying stocks earlier this year that soared days later after Trump announced a pause to tariffs, Greene<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/44852406/marjorie-taylor-greene-brushes-off-stock-buying-criticism-says-portfolio-manager-bought-the-dip"> brushed aside the criticism.</a>
&#8220;I think that criticism is laughable. President Trump has been talking about tariffs for decades,&#8221; Greene told reporters when asked about the trades at a recent town hall event in Georgia in a clip <a href="https://x.com/unusual_whales/status/1912456434081480777" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">shared </a>by Unusual Whales. The congresswoman used the opportunity to boast about her stock performance, which ranked her as one of the top trading members of Congress in 2024.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t place my buys and sells," Greene said, citing an agreement she has with her portfolio manager, who handles all the buying and selling of stocks. &#8220;He did a great job. Guess what he did. He bought the dip. And that&#8217;s what anybody that has financial sense does."
Greene also said her portfolio manager did not have inside information, everything was public and a potential tariff pause wasn&#8217;t a secret.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) has reintroduced legislation that would ban members of Congress from trading or holding individual stocks.
The bill is known as the Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments Act, or PELOSI Act based on the first letter of each of the main words. The name takes aim at the congresswoman and former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).  
&#8220;Members of Congress should be fighting for the people they were elected to serve — not day trading at the expense of their constituents,&#8221; Hawley&nbsp;<a href="https://www.hawley.senate.gov/hawley-reintroduces-pelosi-act-to-ban-congress-from-trading-stocks/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a>. &#8220;Americans have seen politician after politician turn a profit using information not available to the general public.&#8221;
Hawley said the bill will help &#8220;restore Americans&#8217; trust in our nation&#8217;s legislative body.&#8221;
Hawley&#8217;s bill is being reintroduced as President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;<a href="https://time.com/7280114/donald-trump-2025-interview-transcript/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said&nbsp;</a>he would support such a ban.
&#8220;Well, I watched Nancy Pelosi get rich through insider information, and I would be okay with it. If they send it to me, I would do it,&#8221; Trump told TIME.
Trump said he would sign the ban if the bill passes Congress.
While Pelosi makes headlines for her trades, it&#8217;s important to remember that<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/44852406/marjorie-taylor-greene-brushes-off-stock-buying-criticism-says-portfolio-manager-bought-the-dip" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;it is both Republican</a>&nbsp;and Democratic members of Congress who are profiting from buying and selling stocks and options while in office, with some trades coming with questionable timing or having a connection to committees they serve on.
In 2024, a list of the top-performing traders in Congress included six Republicans and four Democrats.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">UPS in Talks to Introduce Humanoid Robots to Its Network</h2>
Figure AI was founded in 2022 by serial entrepreneur Brett Adcock, who previously launched Vettery and Archer Aviation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACHR#NYSE">ACHR</a>). Adcock&#8217;s<a href="https://www.brettadcock.com/bio"> bio</a> says that his goal is to create a fully autonomous humanoid robot that can safely, efficiently, and intelligently perform a wide range of physical tasks that are currently repetitive, physically draining, or simply undesirable for human workers.
According to Bloomberg, the company's latest model, Figure 02, features integrated cabling, a torso battery, and real-time computing power using Nvidia RTX GPU-based modules. It's outfitted with 6 RGB cameras, directional microphones, speakers, and a custom-built conversational AI developed in collaboration with OpenAI. Figure 02 also boasts 16 degrees of freedom in its redesigned hands, which allow it to lift and maneuver up to 55 pounds. These capabilities are being actively tested in real-world settings, including on the factory floor at BMW.

While both UPS and rival FedEx (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDX#NYSE">FDX</a>) have incorporated autonomous systems like sorting and ground robots into their operations, neither has implemented humanoid robots until now.
Bloomberg<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-02-23/bezos-nvidia-join-openai-microsoft-in-funding-humanoid-robot-startup-figure-ai"> reported</a> last year that UPS and Figure AI began discussions in 2023 and resumed them in early 2025 as Figure&#8217;s latest model reached new performance milestones. If an agreement is finalized, UPS will become one of the first global logistics companies to pilot humanoid labor at an industrial scale.
This move comes as UPS is undergoing a significant restructuring in response to declining package volumes, particularly from major clients like Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), and economic pressures stemming from international tariffs. According to<a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/us/ups-reports-fall-first-quarter-revenue-2025-04-29/"> Reuters</a>, UPS plans to cut 20,000 jobs and close 73 facilities by June, aiming to save $3.5 billion through workforce reductions, automation, and asset sales. These measures are part of UPS's strategy to adapt to shifting market dynamics and enhance operational efficiency.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">CEO Brett Adcock&#8217;s Vision for Robotic Integration</h2>
Adcock believes humanoid robots are the next frontier in workforce transformation. He said in a <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/figure-raises-675m-at-2-6b-valuation-and-signs-collaboration-agreement-with-openai-302074897.html">statement</a> that Figure&#8217;s vision is &#8220;to bring humanoid robots into commercial operations as soon as possible. AI and robotics are the future, and I am grateful to have the support of investors and partners who believe in being at the forefront."
Figure's mission has always been about filling the gap where human labor is in short supply or at risk. The startup<a href="https://www.figure.ai/"> says</a> it is building toward a future where robots can work side-by-side with humans, or even independently, across warehouses, manufacturing floors, and homes.
Figure AI is not alone in the humanoid race since competitors like Optimus, created by Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), and Agility Robotics' Digit are also vying to dominate this emerging sector. However, with backing from the world's top AI labs, chipmakers, and billionaires, Figure AI is showing that humanoid labor is no longer a sci-fi dream but a near-future solution to real-world industrial problems.

UPS Explores Humanoid Robots As Figure AI Secures $675M From Jeff Bezos, OpenAI, And Intel, Targeting $9B Revenue By 2029

As "macro uncertainty" and President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariffs become the go-to scapegoats for CEOs this earnings season, fund manager Gary Black isn&#8217;t buying it.
What Happened: On Tuesday, Black posted on X, citing former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel's famous quote, &#8220;Never let a good crisis go to waste,&#8221; as he accused CEOs of using tariffs and economic uncertainty as cover during earnings season to justify either pulling or scaling back their 2025 guidance.
Black finds it all the more absurd that companies that have nothing to do with imported goods are now blaming the &#8220;Trump tariffs&#8221; for their underperformance.

He then highlights companies such as General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>), United Parcel Service Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPS#NYSE">UPS</a>), and Spotify Technology SA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>), all companies that released their earnings on Tuesday, with all three of them citing tariff-related uncertainties to with their guidance for the full year.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Rahm Emanuel former mayor of Chicago famously said: "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste."

While General Motors and United Parcel Service have at least some cover to lay the blame on macroeconomic headwinds, Spotify, a music streaming service, doesn&#8217;t.
Why It Matters: Gary Black, the founder of The Future Fund LLC, has been critical of the tariffs for quite some time, predicting a cut in spending by businesses and consumers <a href="https://benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44758150/gary-black-expects-consumers-and-businesses-to-cut-spending-ahead-of-earnings-season-warns-of-a-lasting-damage-to-the-economy">several weeks ago</a>.

United Parcel Service Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPS#NYSE">UPS</a>) has disclosed its intentions to lay off 20,000 employees and cease operations in 73 facilities. This decision is attributed to a considerable decline in deliveries for&nbsp;Amazon.com Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), its primary client, and the ongoing repercussions of President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariffs.
What Happened:&nbsp;&nbsp;UPS is planning to cut 20,000 jobs and shut down 73 facilities. This move is a consequence&nbsp;of a planned reduction in&nbsp;deliveries for Amazon and the continued impact of President Trump&#8217;s tariffs. The job cuts are part of an extensive operational restructuring aimed at cost-cutting and enhancing efficiency. An Amazon spokesperson stated, &#8220;Due&nbsp;to their operational needs, UPS&nbsp;requested a reduction in volume&nbsp;and we certainly respect their&nbsp;decision,&#8221; reported Reuters.
Sean O&#8217;Brien, general president of the Teamsters, said that UPS is contractually obligated to create 30,000 jobs as part of its current national master agreement. He warned that any violation of this agreement or attempts to compromise the hard-earned jobs of Teamsters would result in a severe backlash.
In response, UPS assured its commitment to the contract. The company currently has 406,000 employees in the U.S., with more than 75% represented by unions.

Why It Matters:&nbsp;The announcement of job cuts and facility closures comes on the heels of UPS&#8217;s Q1 2025 results, which were a mixed bag. The company reported a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/45065830/ups-delivers-mixed-bag-q1-supply-chain-weakness-offset-by-strong-domestic-and-international-growth">consolidated revenue</a> decline of 0.7% year-over-year to $21.546 billion, beating the consensus of $21.05 billion. 
The adjusted EPS was $1.49, up 4.3% YoY, above the consensus of $1.38. Despite the better-than-expected results, the company is evidently grappling with the impact of reduced Amazon deliveries and tariffs, leading to this significant operational restructuring.
Earlier this month, President Trump imposed new 145% tariffs on many Chinese goods, escalating trade tensions. While U.S. imports make up less than 2% of UPS's global volume, the China-U.S. route remains highly profitable, accounting for 11% of UPS's international revenue. UPS is seeing increased volume from Europe and Asia, but small businesses reliant on China could be hit hard. UPS also faces risks from Chinese e-commerce giants as the duty-free status ends in May. "In the worst case," a supply shock could follow stated Brian Dykes, EVP and CFO at UPS.
UPS holds a Growth rating of 38.42% and a value rating of 57.32%, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/UPS" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga&#8217;s Proprietary Edge Rankings</a>.

UPS To Cut 20,000 Jobs, Close Facilities As Amazon Shipments Drop Amid Trump Tariffs

Wall Street rose modestly by midday Tuesday, as investors weighed the latest developments in trade negotiations and awaited a wave of key economic data and corporate earnings set for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45072497/us-trade-deficit-explodes-to-record-162-billion-in-march-as-import-frenzy-precedes-trumps-tariff-barrage">release later this week.</a>
President Donald Trump is <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-automakers-factories-relief-25a400c98e02c01c8c54502384e267e1">expected</a> to unveil a new executive order on auto tariffs later today. Meanwhile, U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent added that the administration is pursuing bilateral trade agreements with 17 major partners, excluding China.
The S&amp;P 500 climbed 0.4%, putting it on track for a sixth consecutive gain—its longest winning streak since November 2024.
In the bond market, U.S. Treasuries extended their rally, with yields falling for a sixth straight session. The yield on the 10-year benchmark dropped to 4.17%, marking a two-week low.
Gold prices slipped 0.6% to $3,325 per ounce, while WTI crude oil futures fell 2.4% to $60 per barrel, the lowest level in two weeks. Oil prices are under pressure from escalating global trade tensions and weaker U.S. economic data, and crude is now on track for a 15% decline in April—its steepest monthly drop since 2021.
Bitcoin traded little changed, around $95,000.
