A new report shows women are increasingly confident in managing their money — and many are thriving as investors. But a common regret remains: not <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/the-importance-of-investing-early">starting earlier</a>.
According to the <a href="https://content.schwab.com/web/retail/public/about-schwab/charles-schwab-women-investors-survey-2025_findings.pdf">survey</a> by Charles Schwab, nine in 10 women feel they're on track to meet their financial goals, and nearly 90% say they're confident in their investment strategy. Most are focused on building long-term wealth, not short-term wins, and more than half are comfortable taking on some level of risk to grow their money.
Still, the path hasn't always been easy. On average, women began investing at age 31 and 85% say they wish they had started sooner. Many pointed to challenges like limited financial knowledge or not having extra earnings early in their careers. Broader barriers — including lower pay, career breaks for caregiving, and fewer job opportunities — continue to impact their ability to invest.

Despite these hurdles, women are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/06/39403066/7-insider-secrets-to-master-your-money">building strong financial habits</a>. Patience, discipline and consistency ranked among their top investing strengths, and most say managing their investments gives them a sense of empowerment. About two-thirds view themselves as investors and a quarter identify as traders — a sign of growing comfort with the markets.
Women are also highly engaged learners. Most rely on a combination of independent research and professional advice, and more than three-quarters say it's important to be able to seek financial guidance anonymously. They're most likely to turn to financial advisors, internet searches, and family for help.

<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Elementl Power announced a deal with Google to develop three new sites for advanced reactors on Wednesday</li>
<li>Exact details remain private, but Google will be committing early-stage development capital in exchange for the option to purchase the power once the sites are complete</li>
<li>The deal is the latest in a long string of tech companies partnering with nuclear power companies to fuel growth</li>
</ul>
Nuclear power developer Elementl Power <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/elementl-power-and-google-sign-strategic-agreement-to-develop-locations-for-advanced-nuclear-projects-302447957.html">said Wednesday</a> that it had signed a strategic agreement with Google to develop three sites for advanced reactors.&nbsp;
&#8220;Innovative partnerships like this are necessary to mobilize the capital required to build new nuclear projects, which are critical to deliver safe, affordable and clean baseload power and help companies advance their long-term net zero goals,&#8221; said Chris Colbert, Elementl Power's CEO.&nbsp;

</ul>
Exact details of the deal were not disclosed, but Google has agreed to commit early-stage development capital to advance the progression of the three projects. In exchange, the tech company will have the option to buy the power once the sites are complete and operational, the announcement said.
"Google is committed to catalyzing projects that strengthen the power grids where we operate, and advanced nuclear technology provides reliable, baseload, 24/7 energy,&#8221; said Amanda Peterson Corio, Google's global head of data center energy, in Elementl's statement. "Our collaboration with Elementl Power enhances our ability to move at the speed required to meet this moment of AI and American innovation.&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Elementl Power was founded in 2022 as a nuclear power project developer. The company has yet to build any sites. It also hasn't chosen what reactors it will use in future projects, according to <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/07/google-agrees-to-fund-the-development-of-three-new-nuclear-sites.html">CNBC</a>, instead opting to wait and see which reactor technology is furthest along in development when the time comes.&nbsp;

Once these proposed projects reach final investment stages, Google and Elementl Power will work together to find other sources of capital, according to the statement.&nbsp;
Each project is aiming for at least 600 MW of capacity. The number is in line with Elementl Power's overall goal of adding 10 GW of power to the nuclear grid by 2035.&nbsp;
This is not the first nuclear power deal Google has made within the last year. In October, it said it would be buying power from small modular power reactor company Kairos Power. At the time, Google <a href="https://blog.google/outreach-initiatives/sustainability/google-kairos-power-nuclear-energy-agreement/">said</a> that the first reactor would be online by 2030, with more following through 2035.&nbsp;

The need for new power sources to support data centers has been a concern among tech giants for some time. Kevin Miller, Amazon's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) vice president of global data centers, told <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/24/amazon-and-nvidia-say-ai-data-center-demand-is-not-slowing-down-.html">CNBC</a> last month, "We continue to see very strong demand [for power], and we're looking both in the next couple years as well as long term and seeing the numbers only going up."
At the same time, Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark told CNBC "we're seeing… tremendous growth in the need for new baseload power. We're seeing unprecedented growth." He predicted that 50 GW of new power capacity, which is equivalent to 50 new nuclear plants, will be needed by 2027 to support AI growth.&nbsp;

Google To Fund Three Nuclear Sites, Says The Move Will Allow Them To 'Move At The Speed Required To Meet This Moment Of AI And American Innovation'

Flowers, lunch and a sentimental card are among the popular gifts for a mom on Mother's Day. A<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-give-stock-as-a-gift"> gift of stock</a> is another option to consider.
 What Happened: Mother&#8217;s Day is being celebrated today, May 12. While many will get their mom flowers and a card, another option could be buying shares of some of the most valuable and<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/05/45171636/exclusive-aprils-20-most-searched-tickers-on-benzinga-pro-where-do-tesla-apple-palantir-nvidia-stocks-rank"> most well-known companies.  </a>
Mother&#8217;s Day was&nbsp;<a href="https://www.history.com/topics/holidays/mothers-day" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">designated</a>&nbsp;an official holiday by then President&nbsp;Woodrow Wilson&nbsp;in 1914 and is celebrated on the second Sunday of May. Last year, Mother&#8217;s Day&nbsp;was celebrated on May 12, 2024. Here&#8217;s a look at how an investment in three of the largest publicly traded companies at that time&nbsp;would be worth now.&nbsp;
Investing $100 Each In Apple, Microsoft And Tesla:&nbsp;Investing $100 in each of the three popular stocks during Mother's Day 2024 could have bought the following share amounts:
Apple Inc&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>): 0.5481 shares
Microsoft Corporation&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>): 0.2430
Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>): 0.5936
The three investments would be worth the following values today based on the closing share prices from Friday, May 9, 2025. The totals do not include dividends.
Apple: $108.81
Microsoft: $106.61
Tesla: $177.05
The total investment in those three stocks on Mother&#8217;s Day last year would be worth $392.47 today, representing a return of 30.8%. This marks an increase from the 11.2% gain on the same three stocks from Mother's Day 2023 to Mother's Day 2024. The return also outpaces the returns of the same stocks from 2022 to 2023 (+7%) and from 2021 to 2022 (+17.8%). &nbsp;&nbsp;
For comparison, the same $300 invested in the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), which tracks the S&amp;P 500, would be worth $329.12 and up 9.7%.
While flowers might not last forever,&nbsp;stock investments for your mom can often hold or gain value over time.

If You Bought Your Mom $100 In Apple, Microsoft And Tesla Stock For Mother's Day Last Year, Here's How Much She'd Have Now

Does it feel like nobody wants to work anymore? It's a generalization that stems from the "Great Resignation," when many people voluntarily left their jobs during the pandemic.&nbsp;
Financial guru Vincent Chan dove deeper into this topic and discussed three reasons <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVg3tLVPEGE">why nobody wants to work anymore</a>. He used historical data to validate his points while presenting a grim picture of the modern working experience.
"Nowadays, it just feels like a slap in the face," he said.
How did things get to this point? These are the three reasons Chan highlights in his video.

<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Inspired by Uber and Airbnb &#8211; Deloitte's fastest-growing software company is transforming 7 billion smartphones into income-generating assets &#8211; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">with $1,000 you can invest at just $0.30/share!</a></li>

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Big Lie</h2>
Chan starts his video by exposing the big lie that hard work pays off. Although hard work has paid off in various cases, people don't always see that in the workplace. Chan explains how an unproductive coworker got promoted because he was an old family friend of the boss. These types of promotions can cause the hard workers to feel discouraged and unrecognized for their efforts.
While these types of office politics have always been present, Chan also presented a graph that showed the growing gap between worker productivity and pay growth. Both of these metrics moved in tandem until 1979. Since that year, people have been working harder than before, but have stopped being rewarded for it.
Boomers worked during an era that Chan dubbed the "Workers' Golden Age," where people got paid for their effort. There wasn't a gap between productivity and wage growth that exists today. This rising gap and promotions depending more on who you know instead of what you can do have disincentivized putting in the extra effort in many workplaces.
Trending: Can you guess how many retire with a $5,000,000 nest egg? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/5mil-nest-egg-adv">The percentage may shock you</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Toxic Work Environments&nbsp;</h2>
Chan also cited toxic work environments as a key reason why most people don't want to work anymore. These environments can lead to mental health problems and burnout that make you question why you are working in the first place.
Chan leans into this discussion with a quote from Squarespace's CMO, who said that Gen Z job seekers should be willing to work for free, long hours. Nothing is healthy about working long hours and not getting paid for them.&nbsp;
While most people get paid for the hours that they work, it's still tempting to work well beyond the minimum. Chan cited the fear of losing your job and the desire for a promotion as two reasons why people work more hours. We also have our smartphones, desktops, and tablets wherever we go, making it more difficult to disconnect from work.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Money</h2>
Money is one of the strongest motivators. It can inspire people to work harder and begrudgingly embrace jobs that they do not enjoy. However, this motivating force has been a disappointment for younger workers.
Even though they make more money on paper than their parents, many of them are struggling to pay off student loans or buy a house. Meanwhile, Chan claims that older generations were able to make those major purchases on a minimum wage.
He proceeds to explain that things are getting more expensive, and you aren't getting paid more. The Cost of Thriving Index highlights Chan's point. He mentions that in 1985, the typical male worker's wage would have covered the average major expenses in 30 weeks.&nbsp;
However, the Cost of Thriving Index shows that the typical male worker has to work 53 weeks per year to cover the average major expenses. There aren't 53 weeks in a year, and many people have to work overtime or pick up a side hustle just to make ends meet.
Chan mentions that the 53-week figure is from 2018 and assumes that the Cost of Thriving Index has gotten even worse since then. If people continue to work but see basic expenses becoming unreasonable, it's no wonder some of them are throwing in the towel.

Vincent Chan Discusses The Three Reasons Nobody Wants To Work Anymore: 'Nowadays It Just Feels Like A Slap In The Face'

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has announced that Ukraine is prepared for negotiations with Russia, on the condition that Russian President Vladimir Putin agrees to an unconditional ceasefire for a period of 30 days.
What Happened: On Sunday, Zelenskiy confirmed that Ukraine is ready to initiate talks with Russia, but only after Putin commits to a &#8220;comprehensive, enduring, and dependable&#8221; ceasefire beginning May 12th. Putin had proposed direct talks&nbsp;in Istanbul on May 15,&nbsp;but has yet to respond to the ultimatum set&nbsp;by Ukraine and its Western&nbsp;allies for&nbsp;a temporary truce or face&nbsp;the imposition of severe new sanctions.
Despite the proposed dialogue, Russian forces have persisted with their air strikes, deploying over 100 drones at various targets throughout&nbsp;Ukraine, including Kyiv. Ground positions&nbsp;in eastern Ukraine have also been heavily bombarded.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">It is a positive sign that the Russians have finally begun to consider ending the war. The entire world has been waiting for this for a very long time. And the very first step in truly ending any war is a ceasefire. There is no point in continuing the killing even for a single…
&mdash; Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський (@ZelenskyyUa) <a href="https://twitter.com/ZelenskyyUa/status/1921469464358346850?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 11, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Andriy Yermak, Zelenskiy's chief aide, underscored the necessity for a ceasefire before any further talks. French President Emmanuel Macron reiterated this sentiment, stating that negotiations cannot proceed while hostilities persist.

Putin, although receptive to the concept of a temporary ceasefire, has not yet consented to any terms. He intends to discuss his plans&nbsp;with Turkish President Recep Tayyip&nbsp;Erdogan. 
Concurrently,&nbsp;US Secretary of State Marco&nbsp;Rubio is anticipated to be in Turkey&nbsp;for an informal meeting of&nbsp;NATO foreign ministers from May 14.
Efforts to resolve the conflict have escalated, with several meetings taking place between European, US, and Ukrainian envoys. Nevertheless, Putin insists on strict conditions for any ceasefire, including&nbsp;Russian control of four eastern&nbsp;and southeastern Ukrainian regions.
Why It Matters: The proposed ceasefire and subsequent talks could mark a significant turning point in the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia. However, the continuation of Russian air strikes and Putin&#8217;s stringent conditions for a ceasefire underscore the complexities and challenges that lie ahead in the peace negotiations. 
The international community, particularly Ukraine&#8217;s Western allies, will be closely monitoring the situation and the potential implications for regional stability and security.

Ukraine Proposes Ceasefire as Precondition for Talks With Russia

Google searches for the phrase "Are we in a recession" have soared to their second-highest level in recorded history, reflecting <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45254241/recession-could-originate-at-the-port-of-los-angeles-warns-economist-calling-tariff-decision-a-misapplied-consumption-tax-on-households" rel="noreferrer noopener">deepening public anxiety about the U.S. economy.</a>
The trend, highlighted in a recent <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/Barchart/status/1921022115068760337/photo/1" rel="noreferrer noopener">post </a>on X by Barchart, signals growing concern among Americans, even as official economic indicators offer a mixed picture.
This surge in search interest underscores a broader sense of economic unease fueled by volatile stock markets, persistent inflation, and increasing uncertainty around jobs and housing.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/05/45304831/in-a-recession-these-waste-management-stocks-have-outperformed-sp500-historically" rel="noreferrer noopener">In A Recession, These Waste Management Stocks Have Outperformed S&amp;P500 Historically</a>
On May 2, 2025, Reuters reported that U.S. job growth likely slowed in April, with economic uncertainty exacerbated by President Donald Trump's aggressive tariff policy.
Though companies continue to hold onto workers, the latest jobs report may provide limited insight into current conditions, especially following a GDP contraction in the first quarter.
Meanwhile, the housing market has become another major source of public anxiety.
Mortgage rates, which peaked at 7.04% in January 2025, have retreated slightly but remain high. According to Forbes, April <a target="_blank" href="https://www.forbes.com/advisor/mortgages/mortgage-interest-rates-forecast/" rel="noreferrer noopener">saw </a>the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate rise by 17 basis points to 6.81%, per Freddie Mac data.
Combined with elevated home prices, these trends have made housing less affordable and spurred more online searches around mortgage costs and real estate trends.
Inflation has further strained household budgets, eroding purchasing power. "Consumer confidence declined for a fifth consecutive month in April, falling to levels not seen since the onset of the COVID pandemic," <a target="_blank" href="https://www.conference-board.org/topics/consumer-confidence/press/CCI-Apr-2025#:~:text=Meanwhile%2C%20average%2012%2Dmonth%20inflation,was%20experiencing%20extremely%20high%20inflation.%E2%80%9D" rel="noreferrer noopener">said&nbsp;</a>Stephanie Guichard, Senior Economist, Global Indicators at The Conference Board on April 29.&nbsp; The Expectations Index fell 12.5 points to 54.4 — its lowest since October 2011 — and is far below the 80 mark that often signals a coming recession.
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York's <a target="_blank" href="https://www.newyorkfed.org/newsevents/news/research/2025/20250508" rel="noreferrer noopener">April 2025</a> Survey of Consumer Expectations painted a similarly gloomy picture.
The survey showed that while short-term inflation expectations remained unchanged, medium-term expectations increased, and long-term ones declined.
At the same time, labor market outlooks worsened—households anticipated slower wage growth and a lower likelihood of finding new employment.
Expectations for income growth over the next year also declined, and perceptions of both current and future financial well-being dropped sharply.
The dramatic rise in recession-related search activity offers a revealing lens into the American psyche—one marked by caution and growing distress.
Though official economic data has yet to confirm a recession, the nation's search behavior paints a more immediate and emotional picture: one of uncertainty, financial pressure, and a deep concern about what lies ahead.

If You Have To Google 'Are We In A Recession'—You Probably Feel Like It

In a bid to ease the ongoing tariff war, senior negotiators from the US and China have<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45184120/warren-buffett-warns-tariffs-could-backfire-on-economy-says-trade-should-not-be-a-weapon-its-a-big-mistake-i-dont-think-its-wise"> resumed high-level trade talks.</a>
What Happened: On Sunday US Treasury Secretary&nbsp;Scott Bessent&nbsp;and Chinese Vice Premier&nbsp;He Lifeng&nbsp;are spearheading the discussions in Geneva. This marks the first publicized, face-to-face negotiations since the initiation of heavy tariffs by both nations.
President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;characterized the talks as a &#8220;very good&#8221; meeting and expressed his wish for China to become more receptive to American business. US trade chief&nbsp;Jamieson Greer&nbsp;is also a part of the negotiation team.
On Saturday in a <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114486066663976973">post </a>on Truth Social, Trump said a &#8220;great progress&#8221; was made.&nbsp;
&#8220;A very good meeting today with China, in Switzerland. Many things discussed, much agreed to. A total reset negotiated in a friendly, but constructive, manner. We want to see, for the good of both China and the U.S., an opening up of China to American business. GREAT PROGRESS MADE!!!,&#8221; he wrote.

The ongoing tariff war has caused turbulence in financial markets, threatened product shortages, and led to price hikes for American consumers. This has exerted pressure on Trump to settle the dispute with Chinese leader&nbsp;Xi Jinping.
Despite China&#8217;s cautious stance, the talks are seen as a crucial step in resolving the trade conflict. Nevertheless, the Chinese state-run news agency Xinhua underlined China&#8217;s resolve&nbsp;to safeguard its national interests&nbsp;and uphold order in international trade.
The two economies, boasting&nbsp;a combined gross domestic product&nbsp;of $46 trillion, could suffer significant losses if the talks collapse. 
Last week In an interview <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/trump-administration/read-full-transcript-president-donald-trump-interviewed-meet-press-mod-rcna203514">with</a>&nbsp;NBC News, Trump claimed that Chinese officials &#8220;want to make a deal very badly. We&#8217;ll see how that all turns out, but it&#8217;s got to be a fair deal.&#8221; He also said he expected to lower tariffs on China &#8220;at some point.&#8221;
Why It Matters: The resumption of these talks is a pivotal moment in the ongoing trade war between the two economic superpowers. The conflict has had far-reaching effects, impacting global markets and causing uncertainty for businesses and consumers alike. 
The outcome of these negotiations could have significant implications for international trade, potentially setting the tone for future trade relations between the US and China. 
The stakes are high, and the world watches with bated breath as the two nations attempt to find common ground.

Trump Announces 'Total Reset' as US-China Trade Talks Aim to End Tariff War

What distinguishes a high-performing company from the rest? A culture that puts truth first, according to Jeff Bezos, who built Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) into $1.97 trillion e-commerce giant it is today. In his view, organizations must make space for honest conversations, even if they are awkward and uncomfortable.
What Happened: Speaking <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcWqzZ3I2cY">to</a> Lex Fridman in 2023, Bezos described truth-telling a learned skill, not a natural instinct. "We are social animals," he said. "Going along to get along is how we survive." 
To change that pattern, Bezos implements meeting strategies such as speaking last and encouraging junior voices to go first. The goal is to make sure that anyone can question assumptions or critique outdated practices without fear of repercussion.

Why It Matters: "Truths are often… uncomfortable. They can be awkward, they can be exhausting," Bezos said. "They can make people defensive even if that's not the intent." But without these hard-to-digest truths, businesses might stagnate. He warned against sticking to legacy metrics: "You're not really sure why they were invented in the first place, and you&#8217;re not sure they&#8217;re still as relevant as they used to be."
Bezos also advocated for listening to instinct when hard data is unavailable: "A lot of our most powerful truths turn out to be hunches… based on anecdotes… they may resonate with a set of anecdotes you have." That is why leaders must rely on both intuition and evidence, and be wary about optimism bias. "It's a little dangerous to jump to the conclusion that the happy interpretation is right," he said.
For Bezos, truth-telling is what keeps an organization in "Day 1" mode: curious, agile, and honest. "You have to remind people it's okay that it's uncomfortable," he said.
Bezos' instincts have led to immense success: Amazon shares have climbed 56.62% over the past five years, per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Bezos now has a net worth of $209 billion, making him the world's third-richest person behind Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, according <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/">to</a> the Bloomberg Billionaire Index.

Jeff Bezos Built A $1.97 Trillion Empire By Putting Truth Before Comfort—Here's Why He Thinks That's What Separates Great Companies From The Rest

The U.S. and China are engaged in renewed trade negotiations following a sharp escalation in tariffs — with the U.S. imposing duties of up to 145% on Chinese goods and China responding with 125% tariffs on American imports. These moves have disrupted global supply chains and heightened economic tensions.
Recent talks, held in Geneva and described by U.S. officials as a potential "reset," aim to reduce tariffs and reestablish more stable trade terms. While no formal agreement has been reached, both sides have shown cautious willingness to compromise, with discussions reportedly exploring tariff reductions and market access.
Despite the diplomatic tone, deep-rooted differences remain, particularly around technology, subsidies, and market transparency. The outcome of these talks will be critical not just for U.S.–China relations, but for global trade stability in the months ahead.
Chris Pereira, chief of the American Ecosystem Institute and Founder &amp; CEO of iMpact, a leading communications and business consulting firm, recently spoke with Benzinga to share his insights on the ongoing U.S.–China trade war and its broader implications.
With over two decades of experience in China, he is widely recognized as a leading China expert, educator, and media commentator. Chris has advised hundreds of companies on branding, public relations, and international expansion, and is frequently sought for his expert analysis on U.S.–China trade relations and ongoing tariff negotiations. He is a regular speaker at universities and global forums offering deep insights on China's evolving role in global business, geopolitics, and the future of technology.
Here&#8217;s an excerpt from the interview with Chris.
Chris, with your deep experience in facilitating cross-border business, how do you see the current U.S.–China trade tensions reshaping global supply chains?
The current tensions are accelerating a structural shift in global supply chains that was already underway. Rather than a complete decoupling, we&#8217;re seeing a strategic rebalancing — diversification, not divorce. Chinese firms are increasingly building parallel operations outside mainland China, especially in Southeast Asia and the Middle East, while many multinationals are adopting a &#8220;China+1&#8221; strategy. This allows them to manage geopolitical risks without walking away from the scale and sophistication of China's manufacturing ecosystem. As someone who works daily with Chinese firms looking to expand abroad, I can say the push to go global is more determined than ever — but it&#8217;s also more pragmatic and nuanced.

Given the latest tariff measures from both sides, what kind of strategic adjustments are you seeing among Chinese firms looking to expand internationally?
We're seeing a shift from opportunistic overseas ventures to more deeply localized, strategic investments. Chinese companies are becoming more sophisticated about compliance, branding, and building trust in foreign markets. They're investing in local teams, legal frameworks, and strategic partnerships — not just shipping products, but embedding themselves in local ecosystems and building true connection overseas. At iMpact, we're helping clients establish operations in the U.S., Europe, and ASEAN that are designed to be as locally integrated as possible, and not just overseas arms of a Chinese parent company. The geopolitical headwinds have made international expansion harder — but also more urgent and more professional.
How are American companies operating in China responding to the shifting regulatory and geopolitical landscape? Are they adapting, exiting, or doubling down?
The answer really depends on the industry. For sectors deeply tied to national security or critical tech — semiconductors, for instance — we're seeing a cautious pullback. But in sectors like automotive, consumer goods, restaurants, and healthcare, many U.S. firms are doubling down. They understand that despite the noise, China remains one of the world's most dynamic and complex markets. Smart companies are investing in localization, strengthening compliance, and de-risking their China operations without abandoning them. I would say it&#8217;s more of a recalibration than an exodus.&nbsp;
Do you think the current trade dynamics signal a longer-term decoupling between the U.S. and China, or are we still looking at cyclical tensions?
We're in a phase of strategic competition that is structural — not just cyclical — but that doesn't mean a full decoupling is inevitable. In fact, I believe a significant decoupling to be highly unlikely. The U.S. and China remain deeply economically intertwined, and complete disengagement would be mutually damaging. What we&#8217;re likely to see is selective decoupling in politically sensitive sectors, alongside continued engagement in areas where interests align. Businesses, not governments, often drive the practical realities of integration, and many firms on both sides are finding creative ways to keep doors open, even in a more fragmented world.
How do these tensions impact innovation and tech collaboration between the two nations — especially in areas like AI, semiconductors, and green tech?
There&#8217;s no question that the geopolitical rivalry is putting up new barriers to collaboration in core technologies. Semiconductors are the most obvious flashpoint, with both sides erecting walls to protect national interests. But in fields like AI and green tech, as well as bio-pharm, there's still enormous potential for cross-border learning — albeit in more cautious, less open forms. The race to decarbonize, for instance, is a global challenge where innovation should ideally transcend borders. Likewise for healthcare advancements &#8211; no one wants to see politics hinder cancer research, for example. While government policies may limit direct collaboration, informal knowledge sharing, global talent flows, and private-sector R&amp;D partnerships still offer bridges.
From your perspective, what role can thought leaders and business facilitators like yourself play in fostering productive dialogue and mitigating geopolitical risk?
We act as translators — not of language, but of cultural context, values, and intentions. We support communication cross-culturally, and also assist with project execution. At iMpact, we're not just helping Chinese firms expand abroad — we're helping them build trust, tell their story authentically, and operate with transparency in environments that may view them with skepticism. I believe that people like myself, who understand both sides deeply, have a responsibility to lower the temperature, challenge stereotypes, and create spaces for genuine dialogue. The private sector can't solve geopolitics, but we can shape how it impacts lives, businesses, and the future of innovation.

US And China Remain Deeply Economically Intertwined, And Complete Disengagement Would Be Mutually Damaging, Says Chris Pereira

An annual report shows that the unpaid work mothers do in the home and around could be worth the equivalent of a six-figure salary.
Here's the details.
Mom's Unpaid Work: This<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mothers-day"> Mother's Day </a>might be the perfect time to buy a gift or make something for a mom or mother figure to show how much they're appreciated, especially for the work they've done over the years that goes unpaid.
A stay-at-home mom could earn the equivalent of an annual survey of $145,235 according to the <a href="https://www.insure.com/life-insurance/the-mothers-day-index.html">annual </a>Insure.com Mother's Day Index. The 2025 salary figure is up 4% from last year.
"Stay-at-home mothers juggle multiple jobs behind the scenes without compensation," Insure.com Managing Editor Nupur Gambhir said. "The Mother's Day Index is our way of recognizing some of the economic value of caregivers – their extraordinary workload would easily earn them six figures in the job market."
The annual survey uses data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and hourly rates to come up with the salary based on the number of hours a mother typically performs each task.

Salary Breakdown: The Mother's Day Index highlights over a dozen jobs that a mom does each week. Many of these jobs saw rises in their average hourly rate over the last year, helping to boost the amount of money a mom should be paid.
Here is the breakdown of how many hours and how much a mom would earn for each of the tracked job duties.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Accountant/Auditor: 0.5 hours per week, $1,169 annual wage</li>
<li>Baker: 3 hours per week, $435 annual wage</li>
<li>Chauffeurs: 9 hours per week, $8,794 annual wage</li>
<li>Childcare Worker: 40 hours per week, $33,134 annual wage</li>
<li>Cook: 14 hours per week, $12,478 annual wage</li>
<li>Elementary School Teacher: 20 hours per week, $24,156 annual wage</li>
<li>Hairdresser: 0.5 hours per week, $543 annual wage</li>
<li>Judge: 3 hours per week, $10,320 annual wage</li>
<li>Landscaping: 1 hour per week, $1,022 annual wage</li>
<li>Laundry Workers: 4 hours per week, $3,268 annual wage</li>
<li>Licensed Nurse: 2 hours per week, $740 annual wage</li>
<li>Maids/Housekeeping: 10 hours per week, $9,043 annual wage</li>
<li>Meeting &amp; Convention: 8 hours per week, $2,003 annual wage</li>
<li>Mental Health Counselor: 5 hours per week, $5,584 annual wage</li>
<li>Social Service Specialist: 40 hours per week, $13,459 annual wage</li>
<li>Other Designers: 5 hours per week, $1,500 annual wage</li>
<li>Other Teachers: 10 hours per week, $13,768 annual wage</li>
<li>Personal Care Aides: 3 hours per week, $2,624 annual wage</li>
<li>Private Detective: 5 hours per week, $1,186 annual wage</li>
</ul>
Add it all up and it's a total of 183 hours per week on average and the equivalent to an annual salary of $145,235. Not bad for a role that's mostly unpaid for.
Note that not all the job duties above are for all 52 weeks of the year and are based on averages. The roles of chauffeur, childcare worker, cook, hairdresser, judge, landscaping, laundry, maid and personal care aide are all based on 50 weeks or more in a year, showing the non-stop demand for a mother's work.
Some of these jobs and unpaid duties also come on top of full-time jobs for moms.
The Mother's Day Index 2025 shows how thankful people should be for their moms or people doing the daily and weekly duties listed above.

Eli Lilly, Affirm And Regeneron Are Among Top 12 Large-Cap Losers Last Week (May 5-May 9): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

The first $100,000 is the hardest. Once you reach this milestone, compounding starts to work in your favor and push you toward other financial goals.
A Redditor knew this detail when asking for advice in the Dividends subreddit. The original poster has $100,000 invested in the Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOO#NYSE">VOO</a>) and stated that you're <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/dividends/comments/1kfwo5g/100k_invested_in_voo_now_what/">"basically a millionaire"</a> once you hit this threshold.
"Now what?" the Redditor asked.
Although reaching the six-figure mark is a great feat, many commenters encouraged the Redditor to keep going and stay invested.
Don't Miss:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>‘Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">You can invest today for just $0.30/share with a $1000 minimum.</a></li>
<li>Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl"> this is your last chance to become an investor for $0.80 per share.</a></li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Forget About It For 30 Years</h2>
Multiple commenters told the Redditor to forget about their portfolio for the next 30 years.
"Forget about that account for 30 years," one of the top comments suggested.
Assuming an annualized 8% return, the $100,000 balance will turn into $1 million after 30 years. That's true even if the Redditor doesn't contribute another dollar to their portfolio. It demonstrates how returns can stack on top of each other and boost total returns.
The Redditor doesn't have to make any flashy moves to reach a $1 million portfolio, assuming that the 8% annualized return remains intact.&nbsp;
Trending: Can you guess how many retire with a $5,000,000 nest egg? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/5mil-nest-egg-adv">The percentage may shock you</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Continue To Invest</h2>
Although the Redditor is off to a great start, most commenters encouraged the Redditor to keep going. Investing more money will give the Redditor more choices in the future. Retirement will be more doable when the time arrives, and one commenter suggested that the Redditor can "pass it down to his family."
Another Redditor said that wealth building doesn't end once you reach $100,000. While this benchmark makes it easier to build your net worth, regular portfolio contributions will get you there even faster.
"You keep investing; job's far from done&#8230;I assume you want to hit a million faster, so you are going to need to continue to add to that money and make it grow."
It's impossible to predict how your financial situation will change in the next 10-15 years. Saving and investing money now will leave you better prepared for worst-case scenarios while setting you up for best-case scenarios.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Keep Your Foot On The Pedal</h2>
One commenter questioned the notion that your wealth "explodes after $100k" and encouraged the original poster to continue investing. The commenter suggested only taking your foot off the pedal after you are halfway to your financial independence number.
Another commenter suggested that the Redditor continue with their current money habits. The same money habits that helped the Redditor end up with a $100,000 portfolio can result in a $200,000 portfolio sooner.&nbsp;
Momentum is a strong force, and you can reach your financial goals sooner if you continue. However, if the Redditor decides to rest, they risk losing all of the momentum. It's hard to get an object at rest to move, but once something is in motion, it's easier to continue on that path.
The Redditor has an opportunity to grow their portfolio. Compounding is a nice bonus, but the Redditor should continue to make regular investments.

'Now What?' — Investor With $100K In VOO Wonders What's Next After Constantly Hearing The First Hurdle Is The Hardest

In the latest cryptocurrency market update, Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) has seen a significant surge, nearly touching $0.23,&nbsp;its highest price in months. Concurrently, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) is inching closer to its all-time high.
What Happened: Over the past week, Dogecoin has experienced a nearly 27% increase, reaching a current price of $0.225. This includes a&nbsp;9% rise in the last&nbsp;24 hours alone. According to CoinGecko <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/dogecoin">data</a>, this is the highest peak for Dogecoin since March 2.
Along with the price surge, open interest on Dogecoin has also escalated&nbsp;to its highest level since&nbsp;mid-February, as per CoinGlass. The current open interest stands at $2.52 billion, representing&nbsp;the total value of futures&nbsp;contracts yet to be settled.
Despite these increases, the figures are still notably below their respective peaks. Dogecoin hit its highest at $0.73 in 2021 and has not approached that level since, peaking only&nbsp;as high as $0.48 in&nbsp;recent months. DOGE open interest reached a high of $5.5 billion in January, but fell to&nbsp;as low as $1.3 billion&nbsp;due to a recent price dip.
As per reports, Dogecoin is not&nbsp;the only meme coin to&nbsp;witness substantial gains this week. Other&nbsp;meme coins like Moo Deng&nbsp;(MOODENG) and Peanut the Squirrel&nbsp;(PNUT) have seen even larger increases,&nbsp;with MOODENG nearly tripling in&nbsp;price this week.

Bitcoin remains a key focus&nbsp;for traders,&nbsp;with the leading cryptocurrency by&nbsp;market cap reclaiming&nbsp;a $100,000 price earlier this&nbsp;week and nearly touching $104,000 on Friday. Currently,&nbsp;Bitcoin is priced at $103,518—down&nbsp;just&nbsp;5% from its all-time high&nbsp;of $108,786 set back in&nbsp;January on President Donald Trump&#8216;s inauguration&nbsp;day.
Due to the market upswing, daily&nbsp;crypto market liquidations topped $1.1&nbsp;billion as of Friday morning,&nbsp;with Ethereum responsible for most&nbsp;of the damage—and short traders&nbsp;feeling the most pain.
Why It Matters: The recent surge in Dogecoin and other meme coins highlights the volatile nature of the cryptocurrency market. Despite the significant gains, these coins are still far from their respective peaks, indicating the potential for further growth or decline. 
The rise in open interest suggests increased trading activity and investor interest in these coins. The overall market sentiment, driven by factors such as network upgrades and political events, continues to influence the price movements of these cryptocurrencies.

Dogecoin Rockets Up 27% While Bitcoin Climbs Toward All-Time High

The past weekend was a rollercoaster ride for the financial world. From China&#8217;s potential strategy to bypass trade talks with the U.S., to Warren Buffett&#8216;s disappointment over the depreciating U.S. dollar, and the bold economic predictions by Cathie Wood, there was no shortage of intriguing developments. Here&#8217;s a quick recap of the top stories.
China&#8217;s Potential Trade Strategy: Economist Craig Shapiro, the macro strategist at Bear Traps Report, suggests that China might employ &#8220;geopolitical game theory&#8221; to avoid trade talks with the U.S. By selling its U.S. stocks and bonds, China could potentially force the U.S. to retract tariffs without any negotiations.

Buffett&#8217;s Dollar Disappointment: During the 2025 Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting, Buffett expressed his concern over the depreciating U.S. dollar. He stated that no one would want to hold assets in a currency that was falling in value, indicating his worry about the future of the U.S. currency.

Trade War Impact: Despite ongoing trade tensions between the U.S. and China, experts anticipate minimal impact on future economic growth and corporate earnings. This consensus comes after the U.S. and China agreed to hold high-level trade talks in Switzerland.

Cathie Wood&#8217;s Economic Prediction: Cathie Wood, the CEO and CIO of ARK Investment Management, predicts an end to the prolonged &#8220;rolling recession&#8221; that has gripped the U.S. economy for the past three years. She anticipates a productivity-led economic boom and a healthy, broader-based bull market.

Peter Schiff&#8217;s Take on Trump&#8217;s Tariff: Economist Peter Schiff criticized President Donald Trump&#8216;s proposed 100% tariff on foreign-produced movies, suggesting that Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) subscribers would ultimately bear the cost.

The Trade Desk, Walt Disney, And Hims & Hers Health Are Among Top 11 Large-Cap Gainers Last Week (May 5-May 9): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

A Reddit user recently shared a concerning <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/collapse/comments/1kgvfey/massive_slowdown_at_her_jobtariffs_are_hitting/">post</a> about the rapidly worsening situation at a third-party logistics warehouse where his wife has worked for over five years.&nbsp;
The warehouse, which handles shipping for various online stores, is reportedly struggling to keep up as new tariffs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45008049/shoes-toys-apparel-and-earbuds-may-disappear-from-shelves-first-as-us-china-trade-war-disrupts-supply-chains-retail-experts-warn">disrupt supply chains</a> and send costs soaring.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Major Disruptions</h2>
According to the poster, the warehouse has seen a dramatic <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45026616/trumps-trade-war-causes-sharp-decline-in-us-imports-from-china">slowdown in shipments</a>. "Stuff's not coming in anymore. Like shipments just… stopped," the user wrote, explaining that the warehouse is getting half the trucks they used to, with containers that were supposed to land weeks ago simply &#8220;disappearing.&#8221;
Don't Miss:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart &amp; Target – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">Many are rushing to grab 4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for just $0.30/share!</a></li>

</ul>
The tariffs reaching 145% on a wide range of imports from China are making it too expensive for many businesses to keep importing low-cost goods like gadgets, clothes, and household items. &#8220;All that &#8216;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45190742/meta-google-snap-set-to-lose-billions-in-ad-revenue-from-chinese-sellers-as-trump-closes-de-minimis-loophole-repo">under $800 ships free</a>&#8216; rule? Dead.&#8221;
The post detailed how the warehouse's clients, mostly small e-commerce brands, are slashing orders or pulling out altogether. Many are unable to afford the increased costs or have simply chosen to shift operations to Europe, where importing remains more viable. "One client's moving ops to Europe cause it's cheaper to serve customers there now," the user noted.
The impact has been severe. Managers at the warehouse are reportedly &#8220;cutting shifts, canceling overtime, and even talking layoffs.&#8221;&nbsp;
Trending: The team behind $6B+ in licensing deals is now building the next billion-dollar IP empire — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/elf-labs-ym?v=123">invest early at $2.25/share.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Broader Effects</h2>
The situation isn't limited to just one warehouse. Other commenters chimed in with similar stories from across the logistics sector. One person working in a different 3PL facility said their company is trying to clear out as much stock as possible before shipments completely dry up, fearing mass layoffs within weeks.
On the other hand, ports in Canada are feeling the strain, with one commenter in Saint John, New Brunswick, describing a massive surge in container traffic as U.S.-bound goods are redirected. "Our port is busier than it has ever been, and our existing infrastructure is about maxed out," they wrote, noting that containers are piling up because of the increased volume.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Economic Domino Effect</h2>
Others highlighted the broader economic ripple effects, noting that layoffs in warehousing and logistics could quickly spill over into local economies, hitting everything from retail to service jobs.&nbsp;
"Warehouse worker gets laid off and now that family cuts back on buying things, even basics like clothes or holding off on car repairs or eating out," one user warned. "Now the local economy takes a hit… It can quickly become a death spiral."

Small businesses, particularly those dependent on Chinese imports, also seem to be on the brink. One small business owner said their glass jar costs had tripled in the past month due to the tariffs, forcing them to rethink their entire packaging strategy at a time when cash flow is already tight.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Market Disconnect</h2>
Some commenters pointed out that the stock market seems out of touch with what&#8217;s really happening in the economy. Wall Street continues to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45177116/wall-street-roars-back-from-april-tariff-sell-off-which-sectors-are-still-underwater">rally on optimistic headlines</a> about potential U.S.-China talks, so the market is essentially floating on "hopium," disconnected from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45273459/no-trump-shuts-down-tariff-rollback-buzz-ahead-of-china-talks">harsh reality</a> on the ground. As one commenter put it, "The entire market is floated on hopium, zero basis in reality."
With new tariffs hitting so many corners of the economy, it's becoming increasingly evident that the impacts won't be short-lived. From warehouse slowdowns to broader supply chain disruptions, the strain is starting to show across multiple sectors.

'This Is Bad. Like Actually Bad'—A Man Describes The Crisis At A Big Fulfillment Warehouse: Tariffs Are Hitting Way Harder Than We Thought

As the weekend wraps up, we reflect on a week filled with intriguing developments in the tech and finance world. From the potential disruption of search engine giants to the call for artificial intelligence education by leading CEOs, the week was anything but dull. Let&#8217;s dive into the top stories that made headlines.
1. AI Threatens to Disrupt Search Giants
The week kicked off with news of Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) stocks taking a hit. This came after reports that Apple is considering alternatives to its profitable search partnership with Google. The twist in the tale? The potential disruptor is none other than artificial intelligence. Apple&#8217;s Senior Vice President of Services, Eddy Cue, revealed during a U.S. antitrust trial that the company is actively exploring the integration of an AI-powered search engine into Safari.

2. CEOs Advocate for AI Education
In a remarkable show of unity, over 250 CEOs from Fortune 500 companies, including Satya Nadella, Michael Dell, Lisa Su, and Alex Karp, have urged state education leaders and policymakers to prioritize AI and computer science education for all K-12 students. This call to action was part of Unlock8, a national campaign led by Code.org and CSforALL.

3. Palantir Stock Takes a Hit
Despite reporting better-than-expected earnings, Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) saw its stock tumble by 9.25% in after-hours trading. Analysts remain divided on the future of Palantir, with some remaining bullish while others express concerns about a lack of institutional interest.

4. SMCI Forecasts Strong Q4 Revenue
Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) issued a strong fourth-quarter revenue outlook, despite third-quarter revenue falling short of initial forecasts.

5. AMD&#8217;s Market Position Strongest Ever, Says Analyst
Nvidia rival Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) reported better-than-expected quarterly results, with CEO Lisa Su calling it an &#8220;outstanding start to 2025.&#8221; Analysts have highlighted AMD&#8217;s market share gains as one of the strongest in the computing markets, recommending the stock&#8217;s near-term price weakness as a buying opportunity.

Business professor Scott Galloway's viral call to deny Social Security checks to the wealthiest retirees — "a $1.2 trillion transfer from young people … to the wealthiest generation in history," he says — has reignited a decades-old debate over "means testing."
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">What Galloway Proposes</h4>
On his "Prof G" podcast the NYU professor argued that 10%–30% of affluent seniors should <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/44057450/scott-galloway-urges-means-testing-for-social-security-i-make-16m-a-year-i-shouldnt-get-a-check?utm_source=chatgpt.com">forfeit benefits</a> because "current workers fund the checks." He framed Social Security as an "uphill wealth transfer," adding, "Every year we effect a $1.2 trillion transfer from young people … to the wealthiest generation in history." According to MSNBC&#8217;s Ryan Teague Beckwith, the idea, long known as <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/top-stories/latest/social-security-scott-galloway-project-47-rcna205591">means testing</a>, resurfaces whenever Congress confronts the program's 2034 solvency deadline.

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Why Analysts Push Back</h4>
Social Security's administrative tab has stayed below 1% of total outlays since 1989, just 0.5% last year, precisely because every worker and retiree is treated the same. Adding income screens would require new paperwork, audits and appeals. The program's near-universal popularity — 79% of Americans oppose any benefit cuts — also stems from that universality, pollsters tell Pew Research. 
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Perverse Incentives</h4>
Research by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities on existing clawbacks shows some seniors already dial down work to avoid earnings cliffs, and broader means testing could magnify that distortion. Analysts argue that eroding worker-benefit symmetry would "destroy the political logic" that kept the program safe for 90 years.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">The Second-Best Reality</h4>
The Social Security program's universal, earned-benefit ethos helps shield it from political attacks: a 2017 poll commissioned by the National Committee, 79% of likely voters (including Democrats, Republicans and Independents) favor boosting benefits while having wealthier Americans pay in at the same rate as lower earners — making it, in political terms, the least-bad option.
