A Texas federal judge has ruled against a Biden-era regulation that would have capped <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/25/03/44482518/major-credit-card-provider-warns-us-consumers-are-spending-less">credit card</a> late fees at $8, terminating a major initiative by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) to restrict what it labelled "junk fees."
 The decision is being regarded as a legal and political win for financial industry groups that resisted the regulation.
What Happened: U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.txnd.387342/gov.uscourts.txnd.387342.150.0.pdf">dismissed</a> the CFPB rule, finalized in March 2024, after both the agency and six major business associations agreed it was unlawful. The rule was meant to save consumers an average of $220 a year by limiting late fees.
Pittman ruled that it conflicted with the 2009 Credit Card Accountability and Disclosure Act, which allows fees that are "reasonable and proportional." The lawsuit was filed by the American Bankers Association, U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and many Texas business groups.

Why It Matters: The court's ruling deals a setback to the Biden administration's larger effort to take down what it called predatory consumer charges. Those opposing the rule argued it would backfire.
"It would have resulted in more late payments, lower credit scores, higher interest rates and reduced credit access," the plaintiffs said in a joint statement. They added that the outcome was a victory for financial responsibility and "common sense."
The CFPB's attempt to reformulate the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44811593/bank-of-america-ceo-says-consumer-continues-to-spend-and-maintain-healthy-credit-quality-sticks-to-annual-outlook">credit card fee structure</a> now faces a major hindrance. With rising scrutiny of the agency's authority and legal footing, the future of federal consumer protection efforts hangs in limbo, particularly as calls to limit or even shut down the CFPB gain attention.

What Happened: Earlier this week, Google DeepMind introduced DolphinGemma, an AI model trained to generate and interpret dolphin-like vocalizations.
Built on Google's open-source Gemma architecture, DolphinGemma was developed in collaboration with the Wild Dolphin Project (WDP), a nonprofit that studies Atlantic spotted dolphins in their natural habitat.
Using data collected from decades of dolphin field recordings, the model can produce sequences that mimic real dolphin sounds.

Google says DolphinGemma is efficient enough to run on mobile devices, and WDP plans to test it on the Pixel 9 smartphone. The team previously used a Pixel 6 to collect and analyze dolphin vocalizations, but the Pixel 9 will allow simultaneous execution of AI models and audio-matching algorithms in the field.
The goal is to create a system capable of generating synthetic dolphin vocalizations and listening for a matching "reply," potentially paving the way for two-way interaction with dolphins.

Why It's Important: Previously, a 2024 Nature <a href="https://www.nature.com/immersive/d41586-024-04050-5/index.html">report</a> highlighted that AI-powered research has revealed that African savannah elephants (Loxodonta africana) and common marmoset monkeys (Callithrix jacchus) use unique "names" for their peers.
Scientists are also applying machine learning to decode the vocalizations of crows.
Despite recent advances, experts caution that an animal equivalent of Google Translate is still a long way off. According to marine biologist David Gruber, founder of the Cetacean Translation Initiative (CETI), the impressive progress in AI language models stems largely from access to massive datasets where the meanings of human language are already well-established.

U.S. stock futures declined on Wednesday following a muted day of trading on Tuesday. Futures of major benchmark indices were lower in premarket.
The Donald Trump administration levied a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44831287/trump-administration-imposes-up-to-245-tariff-on-chinese-imports-amid-intensifying-trade-battle"> 245% tariff on China</a> late Tuesday. &#8220;China now faces up to a 245% tariff on imports to the United States as a result of its retaliatory actions,&#8221; stated a White House fact sheet.
Meanwhile, the new U.S. export restrictions halting the shipments of Nvidia Corp.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)<a href="https://benzinga.com/25/04/44830406/nvidia-to-take-55-billion-hit-over-china-chip-export-restrictions-but-top-analyst-dan-ives-says-hes-not-overly-concerned-all-part-of-the-high-game-of-poker"> H20 graphics processing units to China</a> were announced. The announcement comes after the U.S. government informed the company on April 9 that it would now require a license to export those chips.
The 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.31% and the two-year bond was at 3.81%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool&#8217;s </a>projections show markets pricing a 79.9% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its May meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
According to Mona Mahajan of Edward Jones, the stock valuations were not stretched anymore. &#8220;While market returns have been negative this year, the upside is that valuations are now looking more compelling and are no longer stretched, which was a concern coming into this year.&#8221;
She highlighted that all major indexes were trading at or below their 10-year historical forward price-to-earnings multiples, potentially setting the stage for improved long-term returns.
The S&amp;P 500 forward multiple was around 18 times next year&#8217;s earnings forecast, down from a recent high of 22.7 times, while the Nasdaq forward multiple was about 21 times, down from its recent high of 30 times.
&#8220;In our view, the spike in volatility, a reset in valuations, and signs that the worst-case scenario in the trade war appears to be averted suggest that stocks may find some support and try to carve out a bottom. Risks have risen, but a recession is not inevitable in our view, and stocks appear to have already priced in a significant degree of bad outcomes,&#8221; she added.
Jason Goepfert of White Oak Consultancy LLC noted a historical pattern: whenever the VIX fear index drops from above 50 to the 30 level, the S&amp;P 500 has historically achieved 100% positive gains by year-end.
However, he points out that in the most recent such cycle in May 2020, the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s return after a year was 42.96%. Goepfert&#8217;s analysis of similar cycles in 2009, 2002, and 1988 also reveals a short-term median loss of 0.7% for the S&amp;P 500 in the week following the VIX&#8217;s drop to 30.

According to an X post by Charlie Bilello of Creative Planning, historical data since 1990 showed that the S&amp;P 500 has delivered an average return of 35% in the year following a VIX close above 50, and 129% over the subsequent five years.

US Stock Likely To Open Lower As US-China Tariff War Continues: 'Valuations Are Now Looking More Compelling,' Says Expert

United Airlines Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) said it will roll back its flight operations this summer as the company readies itself for a decline in air travel.
What Happened: In a full-year forecast released by the company, United Airlines announced it will cut its flight schedule by 4% starting in July, owing to softer customer demand.
The airline also announced it will retire 21 older aircraft from its fleet as well as scale back on off-peak flights on days with lower demand for air travel, which the company says is part of ‘prudent adjustments to the utilization rate of its fleet'.
The airlines also offered two forecasts — one scenario outlined a stable economy whilst the other outlined a ‘recessionary environment'. United said it earned $0.91 per share in Q1 2025.
Why It Matters: The news comes in as United recorded <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/25/04/44826858/united-airlines-stock-takes-off-on-q1-earnings-strong-q2-forecast-fy-guidance-for-stable-and-recessionary-environments-impossible-to-predict">over $13.21 billion</a> in revenue for the quarter, amid uncertainty as Donald Trump's tariffs wreak havoc in the global markets.
Delta Airlines <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/25/04/44671680/which-us-airline-is-facing-the-strongest-industry-tailwinds">being the leader</a> in the sector, experienced a surge in stock value after the Donald Trump administration announced a 90-day halt on all tariffs, which had cast doubts over the company's 2025 plans.
However, the aviation industry in the U.S. faces uncertainty with China imposing a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44831116/kimbal-musk-warns-of-boeings-decline-amid-us-china-decoupling-fewer-planes-pricier-parts-and-lost-jobs-as-airbus-gains-ground">halt on all imports </a>of aircraft made by manufacturer Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) into the country.
Boeing could face another challenge as it grapples with a potential <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44811150/faulty-bathroom-latches-could-cost-boeing-34-million-following-faa-directive">$3.4 million in modification costs</a> to its fleet as the FAA proposes an airworthiness report after it reviewed an incident involving a Boeing aircraft where a passenger got stuck in the onboard lavatory.
Price action: UAL stock experienced a 29.79% YTD in value and currently trades for $67.00 on the NASDAQ, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

The S&amp;P 500 has given a 17.9% median return each time the CBOE Volatility Index has fallen from over 50 to the 30 level. Analysts highlight historical trends showing how volatility cycles lead to advances in the S&amp;P 500 index.
What Happened: According to Jason Goepfert, a consultant at White Oak Consultancy LLC, each time the fear index, VIX, goes through a cycle of being above 50 to falling to the 30 level, the S&amp;P 500 index logs in 100% of positive gains by the end of that year.
According to the data highlighted by Goepfert, during the most recent VIX cycle of 50-to-30 in May 2020, the S&amp;P 500 returned 42.96% after one year.
He highlighted data from similar such cycles from 2009, 2002, and 1988. However, historically, the S&amp;P 500 logs a 0.7% median loss after the first week on ending the said 50-to-30 VIX cycle.

Meanwhile, Charlie Bilello of Creative Planning highlighted in his X post how the S&amp;P 500 has reacted after VIX has closed above 50 since 1990.

Why It Matters: The stocks bounced back last week after President Donald Trump announced a 90-day pause for reciprocal tariffs on its trading partners, except China. On Tuesday, the U.S. raised tariffs on goods imported from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44831287/trump-administration-imposes-up-to-245-tariff-on-chinese-imports-amid-intensifying-trade-battle">China to up to 245%</a>.

S&P 500 Typically Gains 18% In A Year After VIX Drops From 50 To 30 Level: Here's What Analysts Say

In the latest development in the ongoing U.S.-China trade conflict, U.S. President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;has called upon China to initiate negotiations.
What Happened: White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt conveyed Trump&#8217;s sentiments during a Tuesday press briefing, stating, &#8220;The ball is in China's court. China needs to make a deal with us. We don't have to make a deal with them.&#8221; Trump&#8217;s remarks underscore China&#8217;s reliance on the American consumer, implying that the Asian giant needs U.S. funds.
This recent turn of events indicates that both nations are holding their ground, with no immediate end to the trade dispute in sight. The ongoing conflict has resulted in both countries implementing substantial trade barriers.

Trump is currently reviewing over 15 proposals from various countries and has expressed his preference to personally approve all deals. The White House insists that China must kick off the discussions, while Beijing is unclear about the specific demands of the U.S.

Furthermore, the trade dispute has had a direct impact on the aviation industry. On Tuesday, China reportedly instructed its airline companies to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/44822589/boeing-stock-is-sliding-tuesday-whats-going-on">halt deliveries</a> of Boeing jets, leading to a decline in Boeing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) shares. President Trump expressed discontent over this and posted on his Truth Social: &#8220;..they just reneged on the big Boeing deal&#8221;.
The shares of Boeing fell 2.39% to close at $155.52&nbsp;on Tuesday, as per <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">BenzingaPro</a>. 
President Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order to launch a national security investigation on critical minerals—The move aims to challenge China's dominance in rare earth supply chains and battery minerals, as the U.S. seeks to become self-sufficient in its critical minerals supply.
Meanwhile, Chinese President Xi Jinping has set out on a tour of Southeast Asia to strengthen trade ties with allies amid mounting U.S. tariff pressures.

Why United Airlines Shares Are Trading Higher By Over 6%; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

Amid rising global trade turmoil, U.S. Vice-President&nbsp;JD Vance&nbsp;has voiced his positive outlook on a potential trade agreement with the U.K.
What Happened: Vance, during an interview with the UnHerd website, mentioned that there is a &#8220;good chance&#8221; of finalizing a trade pact with the U.K. &#8220;We're working very hard on a trade deal with the Starmer government&#8230;.I think there's a good chance that, yes, we'll come to a great agreement that's in the best interest of both countries,&#8221; JD Vance <a href="https://unherd.com/2025/04/transcript-unherds-interview-with-jd-vance/">told </a>UnHerd.
The U.S. Vice President is also optimistic about stronger relations with Europe. &#8220;We just want it to be an alliance where Europeans are a little more independent, and our security and trade relationships are gonna reflect that,&#8221; Vance stated.
Vance proposed that a U.S.-U.K. trade agreement would be simpler to secure than with other European countries due to a &#8220;much more reciprocal relationship&#8221;. He pointed to Germany as an example of a country that exports extensively to the U.S. but is &#8220;pretty tough&#8221; on a lot of American exports.
However, an ally of the Vice President told The Independent that Mr. Vance believes that free speech is under threat in Britain – and that he will insist the Keir Starmer government repeal laws against hateful comments, including those targeting LGBT+ groups or other minorities, as a condition for any agreement. 
"No free speech, no deal. It is as simple as that,"&nbsp;the source told the publication.

Why It Matters: This statement comes in the wake of the global stock market&#8217;s instability following President Donald Trump&#8216;s declaration of comprehensive tariffs on almost all nations on April 2. The revised U.S. trade policy imposes a 10% &#8220;baseline&#8221;&nbsp;tariff on all imports from&nbsp;long-standing trade allies such as the U.K. and France. 
The ongoing trade war in the U.S. has placed tech giants like&nbsp;Apple Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), and Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s Google (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>) at the center of negotiations. In an attempt to appease President Trump&#8217;s tariffs, the U.K. government has offered significant tax relief to these U.S. tech giants. U.K. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer proposed<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44663080/apple-facebook-and-google-become-bargaining-chips-in-us-trade-war-eu-threatens-retaliation-uk-offers-tax-relief-for-lower-tariffs"> reducing the digital services tax </a>(DST) for major U.S. tech firms in exchange for lower tariffs.
U.K. Business and Trade Minister Sarah Jones expressed her appreciation for Vance&#8217;s remarks and confirmed to BBC that discussions with the U.S. were underway, but did not provide a timeline for their completion. However, Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey voiced his concerns and stressed the need for any U.S. trade agreement to be &#8220;properly examined&#8221; by ministers, reported the BBC.
