Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov expressed Russian President&nbsp;Vladimir Putin&#8216;s appreciation for U.S. President&nbsp;Donald Trump&#8216;s efforts to help resolve the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
What Happened:&nbsp;Peskov, in an interview with RBC, conveyed Putin&#8217;s gratitude for Trump&#8217;s willingness&nbsp;to assist in resolving the&nbsp;ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, as reported by&nbsp;<a href="https://tass.com/politics/1976019">TASS</a>&nbsp;on Thursday.&nbsp;&#8220;President&nbsp;Putin sincerely appreciates Trump's readiness&nbsp;to help find a solution&nbsp;to this ongoing crisis, as&nbsp;well as the efforts that&nbsp;he and his team are&nbsp;making. Such support is very&nbsp;significant.&#8221;
Peskov also clarified Trump&#8217;s previous claims of being able to&nbsp;stop the Russia-Ukraine conflict within&nbsp;a day as largely figurative. He noted that as Trump delves into the issue, he is starting to grasp that the conflict&#8217;s roots go beyond Ukraine, stemming from NATO expansion, past U.S. policies, and neglect of Russia&#8217;s legitimate concerns.
Meanwhile, the Kremlin has warned the U.S.&nbsp;against military intervention in the&nbsp;Iran-Israel conflict, with Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman&nbsp;Maria Zakharova&nbsp;telling reporters on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) that such a step could lead to uncontrollable consequences. 
&#8220;We would like to especially warn Washington against military intervention in the situation, which would be an extremely dangerous step with truly unpredictable negative consequences,&#8221;&nbsp;cautioned Zakharova.
Russia stated that it is actively involved in diplomatic efforts to resolve the&nbsp;conflict between Iran and Israel.

Why It Matters: Putin&#8217;s recent comments on the Russia-Ukraine conflict come amid escalating tensions in the region. Meanwhile, the U.S. has been a vocal critic of Russia&#8217;s actions in Ukraine, with Trump condemning Putin&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45611680/trump-calls-putin-crazy-after-ukraine-strikes-kremlin-says-hes-being-emotional">&#8220;crazy&#8221; behavior</a> following a significant aerial assault on Ukraine, which the Kremlin pushed aside as an &#8216;Emotional Overload&#8217; on Trump&#8217;s part.
These recent developments are also taking place in the context of the U.S.&#8217;s&nbsp;potential <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46011719/trump-greenlights-iran-attack-plans-awaits-tehrans-next-move-for-final-order-report">military action</a> against Iran, with Trump reportedly giving the go-ahead for such action pending Iran&#8217;s response to the Israel-Iran conflict. Meanwhile, the Russian president has ruled out discussions on the assassination of Iran&#8217;s Ayatollah.

RICHMOND, Va., June 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ --&nbsp;Indivior PLC (NASDAQ:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INDV#NASDAQ">INDV</a>)&nbsp;presented new findings this week at the College on Problems of Drug Dependence (CPDD) Annual Scientific Meeting. A post hoc analysis showed that patients with heavier fentanyl use experienced clinically meaningful improvements in opioid abstinence when treated with a 300 mg maintenance dose of SUBLOCADE, compared to the 100 mg dose. While the 300 mg dose did not demonstrate a statistically significant advantage over 100 mg for weekly abstinence—the study's primary endpoint—in the overall population with moderate to severe opioid use disorder (OUD), the results suggest that higher doses of SUBLOCADE may offer better outcomes for individuals with high levels of fentanyl use.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Middleby has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Middleby's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Middleby's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.41%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

JetZero, a California-based aerospace startup, has <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/jetzero-selects-north-carolina-for-4-7b-production-facility-will-create-over-14-500-jobs-302479910.html">announced</a> a $4.7 billion investment to build its first manufacturing facility in Greensboro, North Carolina — a move that could position it to compete with industry giants such as Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) and Airbus.&nbsp;
The new plant, located at Piedmont Triad International Airport, will manufacture the company's all-wing commercial jet, the Z4, and is expected to create over 14,500 jobs by 2036 — a record-setting employment commitment for the state, according to the North Carolina Department of Commerce.

</ul>
The Z4 aircraft is designed to deliver up to 50% greater fuel efficiency compared to conventional tube-and-wing jetliners. It will seat approximately 250 passengers and offer a range of 5,000 nautical miles. Initially powered by conventional jet fuel, the aircraft is also being developed with the potential for future hydrogen conversion, JetZero<a href="https://www.jetzero.aero/jetzero-selectsgreensborro-nc-for-factory"> said</a>.
The company says its blended-wing design reduces drag and positions its engines on the upper rear fuselage, enabling significantly quieter operation.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Airline Backing and Federal Support</h2>
JetZero has raised over $300 million in funding to date, including U.S. Air Force funding to support development of a full-scale demonstrator scheduled to fly by 2027, according to the<a href="https://apnews.com/article/north-carolina-airplane-plant-jetzero-fdb49ed6c9d38981765ef1f421e3357a"> Associated Press</a>. The company said it has signed conditional purchase agreements with United Airlines Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) and Alaska Air Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALK#NYSE">ALK</a>), and formed a working group with 14 carriers to align the Z4's design with airport compatibility and operational requirements.

The facility is being developed in partnership with Siemens AG to include AI-driven digital manufacturing systems, with the goal of accelerating production and reducing costs, according to the release.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Strategic Win for North Carolina's Aerospace Ecosystem</h2>
JetZero's headquarters will relocate from Long Beach, California, to Greensboro once the site is operational. Production is scheduled to begin in the first half of 2026, with commercial deliveries targeted for the early 2030s. According to the AP, the company aims to eventually produce up to 20 aircraft per month.
&#8220;This is more than just a factory. It's a launchpad for a new chapter of American aerospace,&#8221; said JetZero CEO Tom O'Leary to the AP.
The North Carolina Department of Commerce said the facility will generate average wages of over $89,000 per year, significantly above the county average. Economic incentives for the project—if all investment and employment milestones are met—could total more than $2.35 billion by the 2060s, including contributions from state and local governments.
"North Carolina was first in flight. We are also the future of flight," North Carolina Gov. Josh Stein said at the formal announcement at Piedmont Triad International Airport, the AP reported.

What Happened:  Sawan, during Japan Energy Summit and Exhibition 2025, expressed concern over the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran, stating it could have a &#8220;huge impact on global trade.&#8221; Shell, a leading global trader of oil and natural gas, has already devised contingency plans to counter any potential disruption in the region&#8217;s oil flow due to the conflict, <a href="https://www.energyconnects.com/opinion/features/2025/june/shell-ceo-wael-sawan-lays-out-long-term-vision-amid-global-energy-shifts/">reported </a>by Energy Connects.
Sawan highlighted the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz, a major artery for the world&#8217;s oil trade, at an energy conference in Tokyo. He warned that a blockade in the Strait could send shockwaves in the energy market. The CEO noted that 20% of the world oil supply comes through Hormuz and finding an &#8220;alternative&#8221; would be challenging.
&#8220;If that artery is blocked, for whatever reason, it has a huge impact on global trade… We have plans in the eventuality that things deteriorate,&#8221; said Sawan as per Guardian. 
He also expressed concern about potential &#8220;jamming&#8221; or disruption of navigation signals in and around the Persian Gulf.
Sawan expressed his opinion on the changing world order and its impact on the energy markets. &#8220;We need to set actions for a new reality."
Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump has suggested that the U.S. could intervene in the air war between Israel and Iran. This development further intensifies the potential impact of the conflict on global trade.

Why It Matters: The Israel-Iran conflict has been escalating, with both countries engaging in military actions. This conflict has the potential to disrupt the global oil market, impacting not only oil prices but also global trade and economies.
Earlier this month,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/45958514/these-penny-stocks-stand-to-gain-from-israel-iran-conflict-induced-volatility-in-crude-oil-analyst">analysts suggested</a>&nbsp;that the Israel-Iran conflict could lead to increased volatility in crude oil prices, benefiting companies like Shell. This prediction aligns with Sawan&#8217;s warning about the potential impact of the conflict on global trade, further emphasizing the significance of the situation.
Shell has been actively involved in the oil and gas industry, recently expanding its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/25/05/45664619/shell-boosts-nigerian-deepwater-assets-with-totalenergies-stake-purchase">Nigerian deepwater</a> assets through a strategic acquisition. The company&#8217;s stock performance is closely linked to global oil market dynamics, making the Israel-Iran conflict a critical factor for investors to monitor.
Brent crude oil prices have climbed 8.72% over the past five days amid escalating conflict. 
On a year-to-date basis, shares of Shell surged 14.10%, as per data from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Shell CEO Warns Of 'Huge Impact On Global Trade' If The Strait Of Hormuz Is Blocked Amid Israel-Iran Conflict: 'We Need To Set Actions For A New Reality'

Social Security and Medicare's main trust funds will be depleted in 2033, a year earlier than last forecast, trustees said Wednesday.
What Happened: The annual report advanced Medicare's insolvency date by three years after higher-than-expected 2024 hospital spending and slower wage growth eroded reserves. Unless Congress acts, benefits would fall 23% for Social Security and 11% for Medicare hospital care.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the other trustees urged urgent legislative action to protect roughly 70 million Social Security beneficiaries and 66 million Medicare enrollees.
Payroll taxes — 6.2% for Social Security on earnings up to $176,100 in 2025 and 1.45% for Medicare on all wages — remain the programs' primary revenue source. Because outlays already exceed income, reserves will be tapped annually until they vanish. After that, payroll collections would cover only 79% of scheduled Social Security checks.

Why It Matters: Progressive groups such as Social Security Works urge Congress to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44368080/ssa-to-seek-100-recovery-on-social-security-overpayments-heres-what-this-means-for-your-benefits">scrap the wage cap</a> and tax high earners, while the Cato Institute backs slower benefit growth to close the gap.
Public anxiety is rising too. A recent survey <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/45720416/6-in-10-americans-fear-social-security-will-vanish-before-they-retire-as-2033-insolvency-clock-ticks-louder">found 60% of Americans</a> fear the program will "vanish" before they retire, a worry advisers say is driving early claims that permanently shrink checks.
There have also been proposals to raise the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45534539/social-security-full-retirement-age-shift-means-filing-at-62-could-chop-your-check-by-30-what-every-worker-born-in-1960-or-later-must-know">full retirement age</a> beyond 67 and to lean on immigration, which generally boosts payroll revenue, though both ideas face partisan gridlock. History shows Congress often waits until deadlines loom; with just eight years left, lawmakers must soon decide whether to raise taxes, curb benefits or adopt a mix of both.

JPMorgan suggests that investors are indirectly exposed to Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) through their investments in Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>), with the passive ownership posing a risk to the stock.
What Happened:&nbsp;JPMorgan&#8217;s research, led by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, revealed that investors have poured&nbsp;as much as $50 billion&nbsp;into MicroStrategy, a company that has shifted its focus to Bitcoin,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/heres-how-bitcoin-is-entering-investor-portfolios-through-the-backdoor-3e1882c3?mod=bulletin_ribbon">MarketWatch</a>&nbsp;reported.
These investments are indirect, as around $14 billion worth of MicroStrategy shares are held by mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that track an index featuring the company. This figure could be even higher, as it excludes passive or active funds that hold MicroStrategy without it being part of their benchmark, as well as institutional investors such as Norges Bank and the Swiss National Bank, which are mandated to follow index compositions.
When these additional factors are considered, the total investment in MicroStrategy&nbsp;could be closer to $50&nbsp;billion, a significant portion of the company&#8217;s $100 billion market cap.
The heavy reliance on passive funds, which make up a fifth of the company&#8217;s ownership, poses a risk to MicroStrategy&#8217;s valuation.&nbsp;The company&#8217;s presence in equity indices exposes it to the risk of removal if it no longer meets the index criteria or if those criteria are revised in the future.
&#8220;If the bitcoin price fails to achieve sustained and strong annual appreciation in the future, preferred stock issuance and the MicroStrategy stock price could come under severe pressure,&#8221; warned JPMorgan.

Why It Matters: MicroStrategy&#8217;s aggressive Bitcoin accumulation has been a topic of concern for some time. Digital asset bank Sygnum warned that the company&#8217;s Bitcoin accumulation <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/06/45955730/microstrategys-bitcoin-accumulation-threatens-its-reserve-asset-status-sygnum-says">could undermine</a> the asset&#8217;s potential as a reserve asset for central banks and other institutions.
Despite these concerns, MicroStrategy has continued to expand its Bitcoin holdings, recently&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45949930/strategy-acquires-1-05-billion-in-bitcoin-pushes-holdings-to-592100-btc-with-19-1-yield-in-2025">acquiring an additional</a> 10,100 Bitcoin for approximately $1.05 billion. This brought the company&#8217;s total holdings to 592,100 BTC, with a cumulative cost of $41.84 billion and a yield of 19.1% in 2025.
MicroStrategy&#8217;s CEO,&nbsp;Michael Saylor, has been a vocal advocate for Bitcoin,&nbsp;stating that he sees a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/25/06/45990339/michael-saylors-strategy-nears-600000-bitcoin-after-1-billion-buy-funded-by-high-yield-ipo-says-td-cowen-sees-very-safe-upside">&#8216;very safe&#8217; upside</a>&nbsp;to the company&#8217;s Bitcoin strategy. However, JPMorgan&#8217;s recent findings suggest that the company&#8217;s heavy reliance on passive funds and preferred stock financing could pose a significant risk to its valuation.
Benzinga's Edge Rankings place MicroStrategy in the 95th percentile for momentum and the 3rd percentile for growth, reflecting mixed performance.

Americans observe Juneteenth every June 19, commemorating the day Union soldiers marched into Galveston, Texas, on June 19, 1865, and enforced the Emancipation Proclamation, more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln issued it. Their arrival effectively ended slavery in the Confederacy's most remote state.
President Lincoln's proclamation freed enslaved people in rebelling states only on paper until Union troops imposed it on the ground. As the Galveston History Foundation <a href="https://www.galvestonhistory.org/news/juneteenth-and-general-order-no-3#:~:text=After%20the%20Civil%20War%20ended,triumph%20of%20the%20human%20spirit">recounts</a>, Texas — largely untouched by Union forces — kept hundreds of thousands in bondage until Gen. Gordon Granger rode into Galveston and read General Order No. 3, instantly declaring their freedom.
Though Juneteenth wasn't a federal holiday until June 17, 2021, when President Biden <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/21/06/21612957/what-is-juneteenth-and-how-did-it-become-the-11th-us-federal-holiday">signed legislation</a> making it the 11th federal holiday, communities had been celebrating for over 150 years, with origins dating back to June 19, 1866, in Texas.
Early celebrations, called &#8220;Jubilee Day,&#8221; featured church gatherings, parades, picnics, and voter education. They became part of the cultural fabric across Black communities during the Great Migration, enduring even as attention shifted during the Civil Rights era.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Doubts About The Date</h3>
Juneteenth may spotlight the end of slavery in the United States, but slavery remained legal until Congress ratified the 13th Amendment on Dec. 18, 1865. President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation freed enslaved people only in the states that had seceded to form the Confederacy, and he lacked the authority to abolish slavery by executive order within Union states. Delaware and Kentucky kept slavery legal until the 13th Amendment became law.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why It Still Matters</h3>
Juneteenth honors a pivotal moment in American history and signals the beginning, not the end, of the struggle for Black liberation. Communities celebrate identity, art, and economic progress with music, storytelling, educational forums, and voter drives. Decades of grassroots activists, led by Opal Lee, the "grandmother of Juneteenth" and energized by the Black Lives Matter movement, pushed Congress to designate Juneteenth a federal holiday, celebrating the resilience of Black Americans.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What To Know About Today's Observance</h3>
Juneteenth launches a season of reflection leading up to July 4. In 2025, June 19 falls on a Thursday, and Wall Street will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/25/06/46010720/are-markets-open-on-juneteenth-this-year-heres-whats-open-and-whats-closed-on-june-19">close for the day</a>. U.S. stock and bond markets, banks, federal offices, schools and postal services will all pause in observance.

Dan Ives&#8216; new artificial intelligence exchange-traded fund (ETF) holds securities beyond the Magnificent 7 stocks, as he believes in looking past valuations for investments in the technology sector.
What Happened: The Dan IVES Wedbush AI Revolution ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IVES#NYSE">IVES</a>), managed by the Wedbush analyst, started trading on June 4, earlier this month.
Ives <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/new-etfs/25/06/45774136/wedbush-launches-ai-revolution-etf-backed-by-dan-ives-proprietary-tech-picks">boasts of the fund</a> by saying that it just doesn&#8217;t have the top four, five Magnificent 7 names, but stocks which investors wouldn&#8217;t even thematically consider as an AI name today. 
"I believe the market is still massively underestimating what the growth is going to look like for the AI revolution in tech," he told CNBC.
According to him, tech trade remains significant even for the investors who missed out on its growth in the past few years.
"If you focus just on valuation, you miss every transformational tech stock of the last 20 years," Ives said.
Ives says Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) will be the &#8220;epicenter&#8221; of the AI theme, while highlighting other &#8216;AI 30&#8217; stocks which are part of his fund.
Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>), International Business Machines Corp.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INOD#NASDAQ">INOD</a>) are a few notable names that are a part of his ETF&#8217;s &#8216;AI 30&#8217; basket.
Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), and Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) are the top three holdings of the IVES fund.

Why It Matters: The &#8216;AI 30&#8217; stocks, which are a part of the IVES ETF, hold the AI plays from multiple industries. They include hyperscalers, cybersecurity, consumer platforms, and robotics. According to Ives, the list was compiled from his deep dives into major AI players.
The ETF has $183 million in assets under management as of June 17 close. Ives said that the AI space was experiencing a "golden age."
The Dan IVES Wedbush AI Revolution ETF has risen by 2.76% since its inception. A comparable index, S&amp;P Kensho Global Artificial Intelligence Enablers, rose 6.08% on a month-to-date basis.
Meanwhile, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, declined slightly on Wednesday. The SPY was down 0.015% at $597.44, while the QQQ was 0.017% lower at $528.99, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.
