However, the Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick indicated these <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/04/44783093/mark-cuban-examines-trumps-tariff-exemptions-rationale-on-electronics-thats-billions-of-revenue-for-the-usa">electronics exemptions are temporary</a>, and further tariffs could follow soon.

Insights From Analysts:
According to Louis Navellier of Navellier &amp; Associates, given the severe selling in the stock market and high trading volume, &#8220;it appears that much of the selling pressure is starting to be exhausted.&#8221;
&#8220;There is no doubt that there will be ripple effects from the Trump Administration's trade war with China. It is imperative that the velocity of money picks up if news breaks on tariffs diminishing and/or the Fed cutting key interest rates,&#8221; he added.
Amid the growing trade tensions between the U.S. and China, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) cut its targets for key Chinese stock indexes for a second time this month.
According <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-14/goldman-sachs-cuts-targets-for-china-stocks-second-time-in-april#:~:text=The%20Goldman%20team%20trimmed%20its,to%20soften%20the%20trade%20shock.">to</a> Bloomberg, "U.S.-China trade tensions have soared to unprecedented levels, prompting concerns about global recession, and decoupling risks between the two largest economies globally in other strategic cohorts, notably capital markets, technology, and geopolitics," a team led by Kinger Lau wrote in a note Monday. 
Analysts reduced 12-month price targets for the MSCI China Index to 75 from 81 and the CSI 300 Index to 4,300 from 4,500 points, suggesting potential gains of 12% and 15% respectively based on Friday&#8217;s closing prices.
Meanwhile, Wedbush Securities&#8217; Dan Ives described the exclusion of smartphones and chips from China tariffs as the &#8220;dream scenario&#8221; for tech investors, stating that it&#8217;s a &#8220;game changer.&#8221;

$1000 Invested In This Stock 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/momentum-trading">momentum trade</a> just hit a wall and the unwind has been nothing short of brutal.
JPMorgan analysts Dubravko Lakos-Bujas, Arun Jain and Bhupinder Singh note that the sharp reversal in momentum has erased two years of gains in just three weeks &#8211; one of the fastest unwinds in four decades. 
With mega-caps leading the drop and a dramatic shift towards low-volatility stocks, investors need to rethink their strategies.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's Behind The Crash?</h2>
Extreme crowding in momentum stocks &#8211; primarily fueled by AI enthusiasm, high-rate expectations and pro-growth bets—came under pressure as macro risks resurfaced. 
The result? A 17% average decline among the Mag-7, triggering a $5.8 trillion market cap wipeout in the S&amp;P 500.
While forced liquidations and systematic deleveraging have cooled the immediate risk of another crash, JPMorgan warns that if this is a true regime shift, the unwind may only be one-third complete.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Where Is Momentum Flowing?</h2>
Momentum is rotating away from quality growth and into low volatility and defensive plays. 
According to JPMorgan, stocks in the following sectors are seeing the strongest bid:
Utilities: NiSource Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NI#NYSE">NI</a>), Ameren Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEE#NYSE">AEE</a>) and Evergy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EVRG#NASDAQ">EVRG</a>)
Insurance: Arthur J. Gallagher &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AJG#NYSE">AJG</a>), Brown &amp; Brown Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRO#NYSE">BRO</a>) and Aon PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AON#NYSE">AON</a>)
Financial Services: Visa Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>) and Mastercard Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MA#NYSE">MA</a>)
Crowding in low volatility names has surged, pushing relative P/E valuations to record highs.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What To Watch Next</h2>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">The Low-Volatility Boom</h4>
With the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>) (small caps) lagging and defensive ETFs like the Invesco S&amp;P 500 Low Volatility ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPLV#NYSE">SPLV</a>) seeing inflows, the shift towards safety is clear. But JPMorgan warns that a further rate drop could push low volatility stocks into bubble territory, much like 2016.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">High-Volatility Bargains</h4>
According to JPMorgan, stocks that have seen heavy multiple compression, making them attractive for value-seeking investors, include:
Semiconductors: Monolithic Power Systems Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPWR#NASDAQ">MPWR</a>), Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>))
Software: (Synopsys Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/snps#NASDAQ">SNPS</a>), Cadence Design Systems Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CDNS#NASDAQ">CDNS</a>), ServiceNow Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOW#NYSE">NOW</a>))
Tech Hardware: (Arista Networks Inc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/anet#NYSE">ANET</a>), NetApp Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTAP#NASDAQ">NTAP</a>), Dell Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>))
However, without an intra-cycle reset or Fed pivot, a broad move into beaten-down growth stocks may be premature.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">The Fed's Next Move</h4>
If rate expectations shift lower, expect bond proxies to gain further. If not, the defensive rally may stall, forcing a reassessment of positioning.
Momentum traders just got whipsawed and the rotation into low-volatility stocks has been rapid. While some safety plays look solid, overheating risks remain.
Investors should watch for signs of a structural shift &#8211; and be ready to pivot before the next wave hits.

$100 Invested In This Stock 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Aon's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AON#NYSE">AON</a>) short percent of float has fallen 3.26% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 4.45 million shares sold short, which is 2.08% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.67 days to cover their short positions on average.
<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/">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 Aon has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Aon's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
