Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has accused Russia of violating its declared Easter ceasefire, citing continued military activities.
What Happened: Zelenskyy revealed that Russian forces were persisting in their efforts to advance and inflict damage on Ukraine, despite Moscow&#8217;s ceasefire declaration. 
He accused Russia of attempting to fabricate an &#8220;impression&#8221; of a ceasefire, with 59 instances of Russian shelling and five assaults by Russian units already reported.
&#8220;Across various frontline directions, there have already been 59 cases of Russian shelling and 5 assaults by Russian units,&#8221; Zelenskyy wrote on X.

During a Kremlin meeting on Saturday, Russian President&nbsp;Vladimir Putin&nbsp;had proclaimed a cessation of all military operations from Saturday evening to Monday midnight, Moscow time.

The Russian Foreign Ministry, in a Telegram post, claimed that this decision was driven by &#8220;humanitarian motives.&#8221;
However, Zelenskyy, through&nbsp;a series of social media&nbsp;updates, voiced doubt over Russia&#8217;s ceasefire intentions, asserting that Russian attacks had not ceased. He also reiterated his demand for the&nbsp;truce to be extended to&nbsp;30 days, stating that Ukraine would respond based on&nbsp;the actual situation on the&nbsp;ground.
This development comes after US President&nbsp;Donald Trump&#8216;s statement on Friday, where he expressed hesitance to mediate&nbsp;a peace deal between the&nbsp;two sides if either party proves difficult.
Why It Matters: The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has drawn international attention and concern. The skepticism expressed by Zelenskyy over Russia&#8217;s declared truce highlights the complexities and challenges in resolving this conflict. 
The Ukrainian President&#8217;s call for an extended truce underscores the urgency for a lasting solution. Meanwhile, the reluctance of the US to mediate if either party proves difficult, further complicates the path to peace. 
This situation remains fluid, with global implications hinging on the actions of the involved parties.

In The Holiday Shortened Easter Week, These Large-Cap Stock Were Top Performers (Apr 14-Apr 18): Are These In Your Portfolio?

If you or someone you know is paying back <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43622327/u-s-student-loan-debt-hits-2-19-trillion-heres-why-experts-say-borrowers-shouldnt-panic-yet">federal student loans</a> under an income-driven repayment plan, especially as part of a married household, there are some important changes underway that could affect how monthly payments are calculated. These changes come as part of a broader legal battle involving the U.S. Department of Education and a national teachers union.
Here's what's happening — and what it could mean for your budget.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Are IDR Plans, and Why Do They Matter?</h2>
Income-driven repayment plans are a set of programs that base a borrower's monthly federal student loan payment on their income and family size, rather than the total amount owed. The main plans include Income-Contingent Repayment (ICR), Income-Based Repayment (IBR), Pay As You Earn (PAYE), and Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE), a newer plan introduced under the Biden administration.

<li>The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"> How do you compare</a>?</li>
</ul>
Borrowers on IDR plans may qualify for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44778031/she-was-29-months-from-erasing-247k-in-student-debt-now-her-forgiveness-is-frozen">student loan forgiveness</a> after 20 or 25 years of payments. These plans are especially useful for borrowers with high debt and relatively modest incomes.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Confusion Over Married Borrowers</h2>
A recent legal filing suggested that the Trump administration intended to change how spousal income is treated under IDR plans. According to <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/adamminsky/2025/04/12/student-loan-payments-may-skyrocket-next-month-for-married-borrowers-suggests-trump-administration/">Forbes</a>, a Department of Education official stated that, beginning in May, the government would start counting spousal income when calculating monthly payments for married borrowers — even if those borrowers file taxes separately or are separated from their spouse.
That would be a big shift. Under current law, borrowers who file taxes separately can have their payments calculated based solely on their own income. Many married borrowers choose to file separately for this reason, even though it often means losing out on tax deductions.
If the proposed change had gone into effect, many married borrowers might have faced significantly higher payments, on top of higher tax bills.
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Walk-Back and Temporary Clarity</h2>
Just days after the statement raised alarms, the Department of Education reversed course. In an <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.278527/gov.uscourts.dcd.278527.30.2.pdf">updated court filing</a> on April 15, the agency clarified that for ICR, IBR, and PAYE plans, spousal income will not be included when a borrower files taxes separately or is legally separated.
This reversal means that, at least for now, the rules stay the same: married borrowers who file separately can still qualify for IDR payments based only on their own income. That's a relief for millions who were bracing for a sudden increase in their monthly bills.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why This Is Still a Developing Story</h2>
The situation is unfolding as part of an ongoing lawsuit brought by the American Federation of Teachers. The union sued the Department of Education in March after the agency temporarily shut down the IDR system in response to a court ruling that blocked the SAVE plan.
Although access to IDR applications has been restored, the department has yet to fully resume processing them. A hearing is scheduled soon to determine whether the court will order the department to restart full services.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Borrowers Can Do Now</h2>
If you're a married borrower on an IDR plan or planning to apply for one, continue to monitor official updates from the Department of Education. Filing taxes separately is still a valid strategy for keeping your student loan payments lower — but keep in mind that policy changes are still possible depending on the outcome of the lawsuit.
In the meantime, stay informed, talk to a student loan advisor if needed, and consider how <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-file-your-own-taxes">different tax filing strategies</a> could impact your repayment plan.

Married Borrowers Could See Major Changes to Student Loan Payments: What's Happening With IDR Plans

OpenAI Launches Codex CLI Amid Rising Competition
OpenAI, led by CEO Sam Altman, unveiled Codex CLI, a new open-source coding agent, along with two AI reasoning models. This marks OpenAI&#8217;s most significant open-source release since 2019, amid rising competition from China&#8217;s DeepSeek and US rivals.

Apple's Week Of Tariffs, iPhone Stockpile, Stock Slides, And More: This Week In Appleverse

The past week has been a rollercoaster ride for investors, with significant developments in the global financial markets. From the looming threat of delisting for US-listed Chinese stocks to China&#8217;s drastic cut in US oil imports, the escalating trade tensions between the US and China have been a major driving force.
Meanwhile, President Trump&#8217;s proposed tariffs continue to stir debate, and his recent threats against Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell have added another layer of uncertainty. Amid all this, Charles Schwab has some advice for investors.
Let&#8217;s dive into the details.
US-Listed Chinese Stocks Face Delisting Threat
Investors holding US-listed Chinese stocks such as&nbsp;Alibaba Group Holding Ltd,&nbsp;JD.com Inc. could soon face serious liquidity risks. The threat of delisting due to geopolitical and regulatory frictions between Washington and Beijing is mounting.

Trump Tariffs May Not Ignite Inflation
Despite fears that President Trump&#8217;s proposed tariffs could reignite inflation, Yardeni Research President Ed Yardeni suggests the reality may be far less alarming.

The 52-week range of Verizon stock price was $37.59 to $47.36.
Verizon's dividend yield is 6.12%. It paid $2.71 per share in dividends during the last 12 months.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Latest On Verizon</h2>
On Jan. 24, the company announced its Q4 2024 earnings, posting revenues of $35.70 billion, up 1.6% year-over-year, and topping the analyst consensus estimate of $35.32 billion, as reported by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43189382/verizon-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-1-million-mobile-and-broadband-subscriber-adds-business-segment-margin-expands">Benzinga</a>.&nbsp;
Adjusted EPS of $1.10 was in line with expectations. Total wireless service revenue was $20 billion, up 3.1% year-over-year, driven by pricing actions and growth from fixed wireless connections.
Verizon expects full-year 2025 wireless service revenue growth in the range of 2.0% to 2.8%. It projects an adjusted EPS of $4.59 to $4.73, compared to the consensus of $4.71.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Can You Earn $100 Per Month As A Verizon Investor?</h2>
If you want to make $100 per month — $1,200 annually — from Verizon dividends, your investment value needs to be approximately $19,608, which is around 443 shares at $44.30 each.&nbsp;
Understanding the dividend yield calculations: When making an estimate, you need two key variables — the desired annual income ($1,200) and the dividend yield (6.12% in this case). So, $1,200 / 0.0612 = $19,608 to generate an income of $100 per month.
You can calculate the dividend yield by dividing the annual dividend payments by the current price of the stock.
The dividend yield can change over time. This is the outcome of fluctuating stock prices and dividend payments on a rolling basis.
See Also: Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-intel">invest pre-IPO from $0.60 per share now</a>.
For instance, assume a stock that pays $2 as an annual dividend is priced at $50. Its dividend yield would be $2/$50 = 4%. If the stock price rises to $60, the dividend yield drops to 3.33% ($2/$60). A drop in stock price to $40 will have an inverse effect and increase the dividend yield to 5% ($2/$40).
In summary, income-focused investors may find Verizon stock an attractive option for making a steady income of $100 per month by owning 443 shares of stock. There may be more upside to come as investors benefit from the company's consistent dividend hikes. Verizon has raised its dividend consecutively for the last 18 years.&nbsp;

The investor, who is nearly 40 years old, shared on Reddit that he began his journey at 20 but only started taking investing seriously in his mid-20s. His early contributions were modest, around $20 to $50 a month, but over time, he increased his monthly investments to an average of $300, and now invests approximately $2,000 to $2,500 monthly.
Despite market volatility, he said he&#8217;s focused on the long game: &#8220;It's hard to see my portfolio plummeting, but I then remember myself I'm playing a long game. I'm not in a hurry, the administration will change and markets will become green eventually. They did in the past every single time.&#8221;

From $50 A Month To $1M Portfolio — Investor Shares Top 10 Holdings, Says 'Finally Reached $1M!' Thanks To Relentless Discipline

Larry Fink is throwing the investment world a curveball—or maybe just a long-overdue update.
In his <a href="https://www.blackrock.com/corporate/investor-relations/larry-fink-annual-chairmans-letter">annual letter</a> to BlackRock shareholders, the firm's CEO suggests it might be time to retire the old-school 60/40 portfolio. That's the classic mix of 60% stocks and 40% bonds that's guided generations of investors since Nobel Prize-winning economists Harry Markowitz and Bill Sharpe laid the groundwork with Modern Portfolio Theory. But according to Fink, what once passed as "true diversification" might no longer cut it.
"The future standard portfolio may look more like 50/30/20," Fink writes, pointing to a mix of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44762412/the-economy-is-weakening-as-we-speak-blackrock-ceo-larry-fink-says-its-more-of-a-buying-opportunity-but-market-could-drop-another-20">50% stocks</a>, 30% bonds, and 20% private market assets—such as infrastructure, real estate, and private credit.

<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.</li>
</ul>
Why the shift? Because <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44672506/blackrock-ceo-larry-fink-warns-many-already-believe-the-us-is-in-a-recession">the world has changed</a>.
Markets have evolved. Inflation won't stay silent. And bonds? Not the safe haven they once were. Fink argues that while private assets come with their own risks, they offer benefits that public markets can't always match—namely inflation protection, stability, and historically higher returns. "The appeal is clear," he wrote.
The case for infrastructure is especially compelling. Toll roads, utilities, and other revenue-generating infrastructure assets typically adjust with inflation. They're also less volatile than traditional stocks and bonds—something today's nervous investors won't overlook. As the chart in Fink's letter shows, portfolios that included infrastructure not only had better returns but also lower volatility.
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
Take a traditional 60/40 model portfolio, for example. With the addition of infrastructure, annualized returns moved higher, while volatility dropped. The same thing happened with pension portfolios. That's the bump—more return, less stress.
But there's a catch.
As Fink points out, the industry isn't built for a 50/30/20 world. Most asset managers still live in the 50/30 public market zone, while private market firms control the 20% piece. For individual investors, crossing into that private territory is tough. Even those with enough money to qualify might only have enough to invest in one fund—putting a fifth of their portfolio in a single vehicle. And that's not real diversification.
Fink believes BlackRock can fix that.

Just as it bridged the divide between index and active investing back in 2009 with its acquisition of Barclays Global Investors – the firm behind iShares ETFs – BlackRock is now working to unify public and private markets. In October, it took a major step in that direction by acquiring Global Infrastructure Partners. Two more acquisitions are expected to follow.
The 2009 move wasn't just about betting on ETFs. It was about giving investors the flexibility to combine strategies—to blend low-cost index funds with actively managed products. "Every investing decision is active," Fink noted, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/44016490/21-year-old-pro-investor-challenges-dave-ramsey-show-hosts-on-index-funds-vs-mutual-funds-80-of-mutual-funds-dont-beat-the-market">even choosing an index</a>. Since then, BlackRock says it's helped investors save over $642 million in fees while giving them more control.
Now, Fink sees the same chance to shake up investing all over again. His message? The old playbook's getting stale—it's time for an upgrade.
Whether the 50/30/20 mix <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44672506/blackrock-ceo-larry-fink-warns-many-already-believe-the-us-is-in-a-recession">becomes the new gold standard</a> remains to be seen—but Fink's not waiting to find out. He's already building the bridge.

'The Appeal Is Clear' — Billionaire BlackRock CEO Larry Fink Says New 50/30/20 Portfolio Mix May Replace The 60/40 Standard

Most 19-year-olds don't walk away from a future fortune. But Peter Buffett isn't most people. The youngest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44574657/billionaire-warren-buffetts-son-says-everyone-assumes-hes-rich-8-out-of-10-messages-a-day-are-just-people-wanting-something-from-my-dad">son of Warren Buffett </a>took his $90,000 inheritance in the 1970s, cashed out his Berkshire Hathaway stock, and used it to buy himself time—not more stock.&nbsp;
That same stock <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44779863/warren-buffetts-son-sold-his-berkshire-stock-inheritance-to-buy-something-infinitely-more-valuable-than-the-500-million-it-would-be-worth-today">would be worth over $500 million today</a>, but Peter says he has "no regrets" according to his memoir &#8220;Life Is What You Make It.&#8221; And considering what he's doing now, it's clear he never looked back.

<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.</li>
</ul>
Instead of climbing the corporate ladder, Peter <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42496912/warren-buffett-doesnt-believe-college-is-for-everyone-none-of-his-3-kids-finished-if-you-pool-their-credits-you-got-a-degree">dropped out of Stanford</a>, moved to San Francisco, and chased his dream of becoming a composer. After a chance connection with MTV led to jingle work, Peter built a successful career in music, producing albums, scoring films, and building a name of his own. Today, he's spent decades doing things his way—and now he's using that same energy to reshape a town in upstate New York.
Since 2010, Peter and his wife Jennifer have lived in Kingston, New York, where they <a href="https://novofoundation.org/">co-run the NoVo Foundation</a>, one of the largest philanthropic organizations in the world. Backed by Warren Buffett's annual donations of Berkshire stock to his children's foundations, NoVo has quietly poured at least $160 million—and possibly over $250 million—into the region. That's more than <a href="https://kingston-ny.gov/news/?FeedID=3310">Kingston's entire municipal budget</a>.
The couple's vision is bold. Through NoVo, they've launched initiatives that touch every part of life: a local radio station, a health care network, a food co-op, and even their own currency—jokingly dubbed "Buffett Bucks"—meant to support local commerce and keep dollars circulating inside the community.

They've also purchased key properties, like the <a href="https://www.timesunion.com/business/article/Buffett-cash-buys-the-farm-5091809.php">1,500-acre Gill Farm</a>, rebranded as the Hudson Valley Farm Hub, which now trains the next generation of organic farmers. Then there's Tech City, a former IBM site being revived as a cultural and business hub with skateparks, food labs, and artist spaces—part of a proposal called BLUEprint, which is widely expected to win the redevelopment bid. And yes, they kicked it off with a robot-themed dance party.
But not everyone's cheering.
According to reporting from <a href="https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/buffett-kingston-sean-cooper">Tablet Magazine back in 2021</a>, residents and past NoVo collaborators have expressed concern over the outsized influence of one private foundation. Some say NoVo's grantmaking feels like a silent contract: take the funds, don't question the source. "They've invested more money than the actual budget of the city of Kingston," one resident told Tablet, "without there being any sort of democratic process."
Still, Peter insists this isn't about control—it's about empowerment. He's said the goal isn't to dictate how the community should evolve, but to support ideas that might not happen otherwise.
Whether it's visionary or problematic—or both—<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44316684/warren-buffett-said-bad-news-is-an-investors-best-friend-and-if-youre-not-ready-for-stocks-to-drop-50-you-shouldnt-be-investing">there's no denying the scale</a>. What started as a $90,000 inheritance has turned into a multimillion-dollar reinvention of an entire town. And in classic Buffett fashion, it's all been done with long-term thinking and a focus on value.

Warren Buffett's Son Cashed In $90K Instead of Waiting on $500 Million — Now He's Using 'Buffett Bucks' to Build His Own Dream Town in New York

A <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Millennials/comments/1jzcndm/anyone_else_give_your_parents_money_every_month/">post</a> on the r/Millennials subreddit has struck a nerve with thousands of users after one woman asked, "Anyone else give your parent(s) money every month?"
In the post, the original poster, who said she's a public sector lawyer in her 30s, explained that she's been sending her mother around $4,000 a year for nearly a decade. She also gave her mom a car, chipped in on another one, and gives extra cash on birthdays and holidays.

"I'm not a rich woman either," she wrote, adding that she paid her way through law school with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43622327/u-s-student-loan-debt-hits-2-19-trillion-heres-why-experts-say-borrowers-shouldnt-panic-yet">student loans</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-pay-off-debt">paid off the debt</a> herself. "But what really irks me," she continued, "is when I mention investments, she tells me, ‘Older people never really invested &#8211; we didn't have the same opportunities.'"
That's where the conversation blew up.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Boomers Had Opportunities, But Not Everyone Took Them</h2>
Many Reddit users pushed back on the mom's claim that older generations didn't have access to investing. One 67-year-old commenter wrote: "We had hella great investing opportunities in our generation. Microsoft? Amazon? Apple? Starbucks? Real Estate? Yeah."
Another added, "People get mad when I point out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42675663/think-youre-richer-than-your-peers-heres-the-net-worth-you-need-to-rank-among-the-top-10-for-your-age">millennials have more savings than boomers at their age</a>, but it is actually the truth backed up by many studies. Fact is, millennials know they cannot rely on boomers for support so they save. Boomers expect everyone else to support them so they don&#8217;t."
Several noted that while OP's father, who's older than her mom, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/high-return-investments">invested regularly</a> and planned ahead, her mother <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/is-a-home-equity-loan-a-good-idea">took out a second mortgage</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44083741/26-year-old-father-racks-up-90k-in-debt-between-credit-cards-and-failing-construction-business-dave-ramsey-says-get-three-jobs">racked up credit card debt</a> instead.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Familiar Struggle for Many</h2>
Turns out, plenty of Redditors could relate.
Some said they send their parents money monthly, even when it's a financial strain. Others described living with parents or covering expenses like rent, car payments, groceries and phone bills. A few mentioned they expect to support their parents for the rest of their lives, not out of wealth, but out of love and guilt.
"[My mom] never held down a job, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40969826/people-who-dont-save-enough-for-retirement-think-working-longer-will-help-but-experts-warn-this-">never saved anything</a>, never invested anything, and she sells anything of value she happens to have the moment she blows through her cigarette money," one commenter wrote. "Now she lives with me because her landlord sold the property, and of course, she and her boyfriend just waited until it happened. "
Others admitted they've cut off family members entirely.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cultural Expectations and Tough Conversations</h2>
Some commenters, especially those from immigrant or Latino families, pointed to cultural expectations.
"I'm Latina, and our parents&#8217; generation truly enjoys receiving money from their kids because &#8216;we are their retirement,&#8217;" one user said. "That messed-up way of thinking ends with me, I refuse to think of my only child as my 401(k)."
Another user in the Philippines shared that he pays for house help for his parents while his siblings cover the utility bills, even though there's no formal agreement, just an obligation.
But others pushed for boundaries. "If you're giving $400 a month and don't know where it's going, that's a problem," one person said. "You're not helping. You're enabling."
OP clarified in the thread that her mom did help with childcare early on, but that was years ago. Since then, she's been paying full-time daycare plus her mom's stipend.
"It irritates me that she brings up every excuse in the book as to why her finances are bad," she wrote.
Still, there were some who said they're happy to help their parents — if only because they know no one else will.

'My Mom Brings Up Every Excuse In The Book,' Says One Millennial Who Sends Her Money. Asks, 'Anyone Else Doing This Every Month?'

Approximately 10,000 pages of records related to the 1968 assassination of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy (D-N.Y.) have been made public, unearthing the assassin&#8217;s notes and reigniting discussion of the event.
What Happened: The declassified documents include&nbsp;a handwritten note by the&nbsp;convicted assassin, Sirhan Sirhan, expressing that Kennedy &#8220;must be disposed of.&#8221; This revelation is part of a larger disclosure of national secrets mandated by President&nbsp;Donald Trump.
The released files showcase images of Sirhan&#8217;s notes, one of which calls for &#8220;the overthrow of the current president&#8221; of that time, Lyndon Johnson. The documents also bring to light interviews with tourists who had heard whispers about Kennedy&#8217;s assassination weeks before it actually occurred, reports <a href="https://fortune.com/article/rfk-robert-kennedy-assasination-files-fbi-documents-archives-trump/">the </a>Fortune. 
The&nbsp;National Archives and Records Administration&nbsp;has made these files available on its public website. This follows the disclosure of unredacted files pertaining&nbsp;to the 1963 assassination of&nbsp;President John F. Kennedy, which took place last month.

Trump, who is known for his doubts regarding government intelligence agencies, has been a strong advocate for transparency through the release of such documents. The actions of his administration have opened the door for increased public scrutiny of institutions like&nbsp;the CIA and the FBI.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., applauded&nbsp;Trump and Tulsi Gabbard, the&nbsp;director of national intelligence, for&nbsp;their efforts in releasing these files, stating that it is a crucial step towards rebuilding trust in the American government.
Why It Matters: The release of these documents is significant as it provides new insights into a historical event that has been shrouded in mystery. It not only brings to light the mindset of the assassin but also reveals the existence of rumors about the assassination before it happened. 
This transparency is a step towards restoring public faith in government institutions, a sentiment echoed by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Furthermore, it sets a precedent for future disclosures of national secrets, promoting transparency and accountability within the government.

Stocks That Weathered Past Recessions: Expert Shares Picks That Withstood Every Downturn

The International Monetary Fund, or IMF, has expressed concern over escalating trade tensions sparked by new U.S. tariffs but emphasized that a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44884282/analyst-predicts-recession-is-coming-despite-financial-crisis-put-on-hold-warns-rich-kids-insulated-from-their-own-actions" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">global recession is not on the horizon</a>.
The organization acknowledged a sharp rise in economic uncertainty, particularly in relation to trade policy, yet maintained a cautiously optimistic outlook for global growth, BBC reports.
While financial markets have faltered and geopolitical trust has deteriorated, the IMF stated that its revised projections reflect a slowdown—but not a full-blown recession.
Global equity markets have taken a hit since U.S. President Donald Trump introduced sweeping tariffs on April 2, an event dubbed &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; by the White House.

Major indexes remain down, with investor sentiment shaken by fears of retaliatory trade measures and sluggish global investment.
The World Trade Organization (WTO) has predicted a contraction in international trade volumes this year, directly linking the outlook to Washington&#8217;s tariff strategy, BBC adds.
Kristalina Georgieva, managing director of the IMF, urged nations to use the moment as an opportunity for structural reform.
BBC quotes Georgieva saying, &#8220;A better balanced, more resilient world economy is within reach.&#8221;
&#8220;We must act to secure it,&#8221; she said.
Georgieva called on the U.S. to address its fiscal deficit, encouraged China to bolster social safety nets, and pressed Europe to eliminate internal trade barriers in services and deepen its economic integration.
Despite lingering fears of a downturn, the IMF&#8217;s current stance offers reassurance that the global economy can weather the turbulence—provided governments act decisively.
The organization emphasized collective responsibility and policy coordination as the path to renewed growth and stability.

Recession? Not So Fast, Says IMF — Even After Trump Tariff Chaos

President Donald Trump has signaled a potential end to efforts in mediating peace between Russia and Ukraine, stating that the U.S. may &#8220;take a pass&#8221; on further negotiations <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44888482/trump-set-ultimatum-for-russia-ukraine-peace-talks-not-going-to-continue-with-this-endeavour-for-weeks-and-months-says-secretary-of-state-marco-rubio" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">if either side proves unwilling to compromise</a>.
BBC <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c20x5xn1g92o" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports </a>that Trump emphasized urgency during remarks in the Oval Office on Friday, noting he wants a resolution soon, though not within a rigid timeframe.
Trump&#8217;s warning coincides with comments from Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who stressed that American involvement in ceasefire talks could end within days unless tangible progress emerges.
The administration is prioritizing results, not prolonged diplomatic standoffs, BBC reports.

As Russian forces continue to assault northeastern Ukrainian cities like Kharkiv and Sumy—leaving multiple casualties—U.S. officials are pressuring both sides to find common ground swiftly.
Despite initial confidence from the Trump administration in securing a quick ceasefire, progress has stalled, with Washington expressing frustration at both Moscow and Kyiv.
Trump&#8217;s past criticism of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and overtures to Vladimir Putin have stirred unease among NATO members, who remain committed to Ukraine&#8217;s defense.
Meanwhile, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated that Russia remains open to negotiations but under conditions aligning with Moscow&#8217;s interests.
Amid the fragile peace efforts, Ukraine and the U.S. have revived discussions around a joint investment fund aimed at post-war reconstruction.
The preliminary agreement, signed Thursday, also hints at broader cooperation over energy infrastructure and mineral resources.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Ukraine&#8217;s Economy Minister Yulia Svyrydenko confirmed the deal is progressing and could be finalized by April 26, BBC adds.
Zelensky has continued to push for firm security assurances from the U.S. in any ceasefire deal, warning European allies that a truce without such commitments would leave Ukraine vulnerable.
U.S. officials, however, argue that American business investment itself may serve as a deterrent against future Russian aggression.

Trump May 'Take a Pass' on Russia-Ukraine Peace Talks Without Progress

President Donald Trump is reportedly planning to eliminate all federal funding for Head Start in his 2026 budget proposal, putting a program that has served nearly 40 million children since 1965 at serious risk.
According to <a href="https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/education/2025/04/11/trump-proposal-eliminating-head-start/83045346007/">USA Today</a>, which cites a government official familiar with the plan, the White House&#8217;s proposed budget would zero out funding for Head Start, part of a broader effort to shrink the federal government under the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/42152862/trump-picks-project-2025-co-author-russell-vought-for-omb">Project 2025</a> policy blueprint. The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, which helps families with heating and cooling costs, is also on the chopping block.

</ul>
While the White House has not confirmed the cut, Rachel Cauley, a spokesperson for the Office of Management and Budget, said, &#8220;No final funding decisions have been made.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Critics Warn of Catastrophic Consequences</h2>
Even so, the news has sparked widespread concern. The National Head Start Association called the proposal to eliminate the program &#8220;catastrophic&#8221; and warned it could result in more than 1 million parents losing access to affordable child care and preschool, disrupting their ability to work.
&#8220;Meals, developmental screenings and health care for nearly 800,000 children would disappear,&#8221; NHSA Executive Director Yasmina Vinci told USA Today. &#8220;We urge every parent, every American, and every believer in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41196233/kevin-oleary-defends-the-american-dream-on-fox-business-im-the-guy-that-invests-in-businesses-5-to-5">American dream</a> to reach out to their elected officials to express their outrage about such a proposal.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Regional Offices Shut Down Without Warning</h2>
The proposal comes on the heels of abrupt closures of at least five regional Head Start offices in Boston, New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Seattle. These offices provide crucial oversight and support for local Head Start programs.
NHSA said it was informed of the closures early last week and is urging the administration to halt further action until a transition plan is in place. &#8220;Closing these regional Head Start offices could create delays in essential program support and weaken the system that has successfully served millions of children for decades,&#8221; the group said in a <a href="https://nhsa.org/press_release/nhsa-expresses-deep-concern-over-administration-shuttering-regional-offices/">statement</a>.
The staffing cuts, part of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr's downsizing plans, left many program directors blindsided. &#8220;None of us saw this coming,&#8221; Janice Smith, early childhood services director at the Oakland Livingston Human Service Agency in Southeastern Michigan, told the <a href="https://eu.freep.com/story/news/education/2025/04/11/trump-cuts-head-start-jobs-leaving-local-michigan-programs-uncertain-of-future-closures/83009348007/">Detroit Free Press</a>.
NHSA emphasized that less than 1% of Head Start's annual funding goes to federal staff, including those working in regional offices.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sen. Murray: &#8216;Offensive and Just Plain Wrong&#8217;</h2>
Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA), vice chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, slammed the Trump administration's proposal in a statement released Monday.
&#8220;While families feel the crunch with a worsening child care crisis and much higher daily costs thanks to Trump's tariffs, President Trump wants to eliminate Head Start and kick hundreds of thousands of kids out of the classroom, fire teachers, and make child care and early learning more expensive and less safe,&#8221; Murray said in a <a href="https://www.murray.senate.gov/senator-murray-statement-on-trump-budget-proposal-to-fully-eliminate-head-start/">statement</a>.
She added, &#8220;This administration believes we cannot afford to help families get preschool or help kids get basic health services, but we can afford trillions of dollars more in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43578641/bernie-sanders-says-we-must-not-savage-programs-for-working-families-to-provide-huge-tax-breaks-for-billionaires">tax breaks for billionaires</a>. It's offensive and just plain wrong.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's at Stake</h2>
Head Start serves more than 750,000 children nationwide and is especially important in rural areas where other early childhood education options are scarce. The program provides early learning, health care, and family support to low-income families.
NHSA said it will continue working with the administration and Congress to protect the program. &#8220;An investment in Head Start is an important investment in our youngest learners, their families, our communities, and our nation,&#8221; the organization stated.
With Congress holding the final say on the budget, the future of Head Start now rests on political negotiations. But for the millions of families relying on it, the threat feels immediate and very real.
