Wall Street posted fresh all-time highs this week, fueled by a relentless rally in Nvidia Corp.

President Donald Trump reignited trade war concerns, announcing a 35% tariff on Canadian imports starting Aug. 1. He also proposed blanket tariffs of 15% to 20% on most other U.S. trading partners. Additionally, the administration unveiled 50% duties on copper and Brazilian goods, all set to kick in on the same day.
Trump also escalated his feud with the Federal Reserve. On Wednesday, he called for an aggressive three-percentage-point rate cut, arguing that each point costs the U.S. $360 billion annually in debt service.
The Fed remains cautious. Minutes from the June 17–18 FOMC meeting revealed that most officials expect to cut rates later this year. Still, Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee pushed back, saying debt costs shouldn&#8217;t drive monetary policy. He reiterated the central bank's dual mandate: price stability and full employment.
Airline stocks outperformed this week. Delta Air Lines Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) surged 12% on Thursday after beating earnings expectations and reaffirming its full-year profit forecast.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>) and American Airlines Group Inc.

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) also broke records, soaring past $118,000. The iShares Bitcoin Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>) — the world's largest crypto-related exchange-traded fund — posted inflows in 12 of the past 13 weeks, reflecting surging institutional interest in the top cryptocurrency.

Delta Air Lines Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) is showing renewed confidence in its financial future after reporting strong second-quarter results and reinstating its full-year 2025 guidance. The airline&#8217;s performance was driven by a notable increase in high-margin revenue streams, including premium travel and loyalty programs.
On Thursday, Delta <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46341383/delta-air-lines-ceo-confident-in-stronger-2025-as-demand-holds-steady" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> a 1% year-over-year increase in June-quarter revenue. This growth was fueled by a 5% rise in premium cabin sales, an 8% climb in loyalty revenue, and a 10% increase in remuneration from American Express (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXP#NYSE">AXP</a>), reaching $2 billion. Despite these gains, adjusted unit revenue declined by 3%, reflecting the impact of a 4% capacity increase.
Following these results, Bank of America Securities (BofA) analyst Andrew G. Didora reaffirmed his Buy rating for Delta and raised the price forecast from <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DAL/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">$60 to $67</a>. Didora believes that the ongoing strength in premium revenue will be a key driver for Delta&#8217;s third-quarter and full-year 2025 outlook, allowing the airline to outperform competitors that are more reliant on main cabin performance.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46357934/delta-air-lines-weathers-the-storm-ceo-expects-demand-to-accelerate-to-wrap-2025" rel="noreferrer noopener">Delta Air Lines Weathers The Storm: CEO Expects &#8216;Demand To Accelerate&#8217; To Wrap 2025</a>
In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, premium cabin revenue outpaced main cabin revenue by a notable 1,020 basis points, underscoring sustained demand for high-end travel. This premium advantage is crucial to Delta&#8217;s industry-leading pre-tax margins and distinguishes its operating model from more price-sensitive rivals.
Reflecting this strength, Didora upgraded his 2025 and 2026 EPS estimates by 4% and 19%, respectively, to $5.55 and $6.59. He maintained a 6x multiple on projected 2026 EBITDAR, supporting his raised price forecast of $67.
Looking ahead, analysts anticipate Delta will generate strong free cash flow and prioritize debt reduction and dividends over share buybacks. The airline aims to halve its net leverage by 2027, a strategic move to reduce long-term financial risk and reinforce balance sheet discipline. Delta also plans a 25% increase to its quarterly dividend beginning in the September quarter.
Other recent analyst updates are positive: Barclays analyst Brandon Oglenski maintained an Overweight rating and raised the price forecast from $58 to $65. At the same time, Morgan Stanley analyst Ravi Shanker also maintained an Overweight rating and increased the price forecast from $88 to $90.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via the U.S. Global Jets ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JETS#NYSE">JETS</a>) and the Defiance Hotel, Airline, and Cruise ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRUZ#NYSE">CRUZ</a>).
Price Action: DAL shares are trading lower by 2.41% to $55.44 at last check Friday.

Insights From Analysts:
As the trade-related tussle evolves with the U.S. trading partners, Louis Navellier of Navellier &amp; Associates said that &#8220;There is no doubt that the tariffs the Trump Administration is imposing are controversial, but the countries that cooperate with the U.S., like Australia and Britain, are only being hit with 10% baseline tariffs, which should be largely offset by appreciation in the U.S. dollar in the upcoming months.&#8221;
Highlighting that the tariff revenue to the U.S. Treasury soared to $24.2 billion in May and is now expected to soar to $60 billion or higher per month in the upcoming months, he added, &#8220;I remain in the camp that when all the dust settles, there will be freer trade with fewer tariffs, since many countries cannot fight with the U.S.&#8221;
&#8220;Markets appear to have become desensitized to tariff news,&#8221; said Michelle Gibley, director of international research at the Schwab Center for Financial Research. &#8220;There may be some thought that the rates announced won&#8217;t be the final tariffs—some of the figures seem random and part of a negotiation.&#8221;
Meanwhile, Ed Yardeni of Yardeni Research highlighted that the Warren Buffett Indicator <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46360976/warren-buffett-indicator-soars-to-208-surpassing-dot-com-2008-levels">hit an alarming valuation</a>, indicating a potentially overvalued market, but the U.S. economy has demonstrated remarkable resilience.
He pointed out a fascinating paradox: "The economy won't let us down. Despite numerous crises, real GDP has remained recession-resistant since the Covid lockdown during the first half of 2020."
He emphasizes nearly six years without a recession, despite significant global challenges such as the pandemic, the conflict in Ukraine, stricter monetary policies, the Middle East war, and the economic disruption caused by Donald Trump&#8217;s tariffs.
Indeed, Yardeni argues, "it really has been the Roaring 2020s so far. Real GDP is at a record high and so is the stock market."

US Stocks Expected To Open Lower, But Bitcoin-Exposed Stocks Soar In Premarket After BTC Breaches $118K Mark

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed some improvement in the overall market sentiment, while the index remained in the &#8220;Extreme Greed&#8221; zone on Thursday.
U.S. stocks settled higher on Thursday, with the S&amp;P 500 closing at an all-time high level during the session. A day earlier, President Donald Trump announced sweeping 50% tariffs on imports from Brazil and confirmed the 50% tariff on copper, effective Aug. 1.
Delta Air Lines Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) surged around 12% on Thursday after posting second-quarter results that topped both earnings and revenue expectations, while indicating a strong demand outlook, sparking a broad rally across the airline sector.
On the economic data front, the U.S. labor market continued to show resilience as initial jobless claims dropped to 237,000 last week, beating forecasts. However, continuing claims rose to 1.965 million, the highest level since 2021.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a positive note, with consumer discretionary, utilities and energy stocks recording the biggest gains on Thursday. However, communication services and information technology stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session lower.
The Dow Jones closed higher by 192 points to 44,650.64 on Thursday. The S&amp;P 500 rose 0.27% to 6,280.46, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.09% to 20,630.66 during Thursday's session.
What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
At a current reading of 76.5, the index remained in the &#8220;Extreme Greed&#8221; zone on Thursday, versus a prior reading of 75.2.
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

CEO Ed Bastian told analysts on a conference call Thursday that Delta's premium and loyalty segments continue to show resilience and growth and helped to offset some lingering softness in the main cabin.&nbsp;
"Our core consumer is in good shape and continues to prioritize travel and affinity for Delta's brand has never been stronger," Bastian said.&nbsp;
"This is evidenced by the sustained strength of our premium products and our industry-leading co-brand card with consumer spend growth on the Delta American Express card up double digits in the first half of the year," the CEO added.  
Bastian also said he expects the passage of Trump's tax and spending bill and progress on trade negotiations to restore some economic certainty and stability.&nbsp;
"We expect both consumer and corporate confidence to improve in the second half of the year, creating the environment for travel demand to accelerate," Bastian said on Delta's earnings call.&nbsp;
What Else: Other airline stocks moved higher in sympathy with Delta as investor confidence in the sector grew following the stronger-than-expected earnings report.&nbsp;
