Investment banks managing Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) battery supplier CATL&#8217;s IPO, the world&#8217;s largest listing of 2025, are set to earn underwriting fees that fall below the industry standard. 
What Happened: Nine underwriters of Shenzhen-listed battery titan CATL are projected to receive a maximum of HK$238.7 million ($30.62 million). This data was shared by the Chinese firm in a securities filing earlier this week. The fixed commission on Hong Kong's largest listing of the year is just 0.2% of the funds raised—well below the industry average, according to Reuters. 
This fee is just one-third of what Chinese home appliance maker Midea paid banks last year for its nearly $4.6 billion Hong Kong listing. It's also only a quarter of the 0.8% underwriting fee that China's largest express delivery firm, S.F. Holding, paid for its $792 million secondary listing in Hong Kong last November.
The sponsors of the CATL deal—JPMorgan (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), Bank of America (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), China International Capital Corporation, and China Securities International—will each receive $300,000 for their involvement. That's roughly half the five-year market average, according to Dealogic data. Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>), Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) and UBS are serving as joint global coordinators for CATL&#8217;s Hong Kong listing,
CATL may offer a 0.6% discretionary fee as an incentive. The modest fees underscore the tough environment banks face in Asia&#8217;s financial hub, even as a recent uptick in trading volumes and new listings has raised hopes for a rebound in major Chinese offerings.

Why It Matters: This development comes after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45343633/tesla-battery-supplier-catl-to-raise-4-billion-through-hong-kong-listing-report">CATL&#8217;s announcement</a> to raise over $4 billion through a stock listing on Hong Kong&#8217;s stock exchange. The company, a battery supplier for the Elon Musk-led Tesla Inc, aimed to raise the figure by selling over 117.9 million shares priced at HK$263 ($33.75).
CATL&#8217;s offering has seen strong demand and was oversubscribed multiple times since its launch on Monday, attracting interest from sovereign wealth funds and global long-only investors, according to a book message reviewed by Reuters.
Earlier in April, CATL had&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44894382/tesla-battery-supplier-catl-unveils-new-fast-charging-battery-with-323-mile-range-in-five-minutes">launched</a>&nbsp;the second-generation ‘Shenxing&#8217; fast-charging battery, which can power over 67 new EVs this year. The battery enables a range of 520 km or approximately 323 miles on a 5-minute charge, and can also be charged from 0% to 80% in 15 minutes in cold weather.

Tesla Supplier CATL Sets Modest Underwriting Fees For World's Biggest IPO Of 2025

During its <a href="https://benzinga.com/general/space/25/05/45361586/ast-spacemobile-reports-q1-earnings-key-highlights-from-the-quarter">first quarter earnings</a> call on Monday, satellite designer and manufacturer, AST SpaceMobile Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASTS#NASDAQ">ASTS</a>) gave a concrete revenue guidance for the first time, forecasted between $50 million to $75 million, heavily weighted to the back half of this year.
What Happened: &#8220;We believe we have a revenue opportunity in 2025 in the range of $50 million to $75 million, back-end loaded in the second half of the year,&#8221; CFO Andrew Johnson said during the call. &#8220;Revenue is ramping on plan,&#8221; he said, from satellite deployments, gateway installations, and milestone payments under government and mobile operator agreements.

The company credited its rapid monetization progress to AST's direct-to-device technology, which allows unmodified mobile devices to connect directly with its growing network of low Earth orbit communication satellites. 
&#8220;We're building the first and only global cellular broadband network in space to operate directly with everyday unmodified mobile devices,&#8221; said President Scott Wisniewski.
&#8220;If you can run a video call, you can support basically any native application that is in your phone,&#8221; said CEO Abel Avellan, highlighting recent video call demonstrations conducted with partners including AT&amp;T Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/T#NYSE">T</a>), Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VZ#NYSE">VZ</a>), Vodafone Group Plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOD#NASDAQ">VOD</a>), and Rakuten Group Inc. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RKUNY#OTC">RKUNY</a>).
Why It Matters: With its direct-to-device technology, AST SpaceMobile is targeting more than <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/44930148/ast-spacemobile-5-reasons-to-buy-this-tiny-trailblazer-stock">3 billion potential users</a>, part of the 42% of the global population currently lacking cellular coverage. The company has already signed agreements with 45 mobile network operators worldwide to help extend its reach.
During its recent first quarter results on Monday, the company reported $718,000 in revenue, up 43.60% year-over-year, but this <a href="https://benzinga.com/general/space/25/05/45361586/ast-spacemobile-reports-q1-earnings-key-highlights-from-the-quarter">fell short of consensus</a> estimates by $3.13 million. The company posted a loss of $0.20 per share, which was again $0.01 over analyst estimates.
Price Action: The stock was up 5.43% on Monday, but is down 3.08% after hours following the company&#8217;s first quarter results that fell short of estimates.

In the wake of a 90-day suspension of most tariffs between the U.S. and China, President Donald Trump stated that he engaged in talks with&nbsp;Apple Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) CEO Tim Cook.
What Happened: Trump revealed that Cook intends to boost Apple&#8217;s investment in U.S. operations. &#8220;I spoke to Tim Cook this morning and he&#8217;s going to, I think, even up his numbers,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;$500 billion, he&#8217;s going to be building a lot of plants in the United States for Apple. And we look forward to that,&#8221; <a href="https://editorial.benzinga.com/wp-admin/admin.php?id=3046&amp;page=benzinga-neuro-displayarticle">reported</a> CNBC.
In early February, Apple revealed plans to invest $500 billion in expanding its U.S. operations, which include assembling artificial intelligence servers in Houston.
Although the U.S.-China trade war truce is expected to benefit Apple, it's uncertain how much Monday's announcement provided immediate relief for the tech giant. Despite a few exemptions, Apple continues to face tariffs on Chinese imports as well as products manufactured in secondary hubs like India and Vietnam.

Why It Matters: The Trump administration has been pressuring Apple to move device production, including iPhones, to the U.S.—a shift many experts view as both unlikely and expensive. Earlier this month, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick indicated that Cook had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45162929/tim-cook-tells-commerce-secretary-lutnick-how-apple-could-bring-iphone-manufacturing-to-us">discussed</a> the potential of relocating iPhone production to the U.S. This conversation aligns with the Trump administration&#8217;s push for Apple to shift device production to the U.S.
On an earnings call, Cook discussed Apple's tariff strategy with investors, stating that the company is currently sourcing products bound for the U.S. from manufacturing sites in Vietnam and India. However, he refrained from making projections beyond June, describing the situation as "difficult to predict."
Furthermore, amid ongoing trade tensions, recent reports indicate that Apple has been contemplating<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45347263/apple-weighs-iphone-price-hike-this-fall-steering-clear-of-tariff-blame-report"> raising the prices</a> for its forthcoming fall iPhone models. However, the tech giant is keen to dismiss any notion that a possible price increase is tied to U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods, where most of its devices are assembled.
The tariff suspension resulted in a 6.3% increase in Apple&#8217;s stock on Monday. On a year-to-date basis, the stock plunged 13.56%, as per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data </a>from Benzinga Pro.

Apple May 'Up Its Numbers' Amid China Tariff Truce: Trump Talks $500 Billion US Investment After Tim Cook Call

China has reportedly resumed accepting Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) aircraft deliveries after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44960098/boeing-ceo-says-china-stopped-taking-airplane-deliveries-as-trade-war-rages">a month-long pause</a>, following a significant trade breakthrough with the United States. The development comes as both nations attempt to ease tensions and steady economic ties.
What Happened: Officials in Beijing have told local airlines that they may now proceed with accepting new aircraft from Boeing, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-05-13/china-removes-ban-on-boeing-deliveries-after-us-trade-truce">reported</a>, citing sources. Airlines have been granted the flexibility to schedule the incoming jets on the basis of their operational needs.
Prior to this, multiple <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44888512/boeing-jet-returns-to-us-amid-escalating-tariff-tensions-with-china">planes were returned</a> to the United States after Chinese airlines declined to accept them due to tariffs, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45059743/china-open-to-co-operate-with-us-firms-voices-concern-over-trade-war-impact-as-tariffs-hits-chinese-airlines-and-boeing">China's commerce ministry remarked</a> was hurting the sector.
In response, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44970516/boeing-adjusts-strategy-amid-trump-tariff-fallout-ceo-kelly-ortberg-says-wont-build-aircraft-for-customers-who-will-not-take-them-as-china-halts-deliveries">Boeing indicated its readiness</a> to present the undelivered jets to new buyers in other markets.
Boeing did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

Why It Matters: Around 50 Boeing aircraft are now expected to reach Chinese airlines this year, sparing the company the expense and delays of seeking replacement customers, and confirming a regular inflow of revenue once deliveries are made.
China is projected to create one-fifth of the world's airplane demand over the next two decades. In 2018, it accounted for nearly 25% of Boeing's total production, Bloomberg noted.
As the U.S. and China have agreed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45341884/apple-amazon-nvidia-rise-in-monday-premarket-as-us-china-agree-to-90-day-tariff-truce-neither-side-wants-a-decoupling">halt their trade dispute</a> for 90 days, reducing most of their retaliatory tariffs from 125% to 10%, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45344582/boeing-stock-is-up-on-monday-heres-why">Boeing is set to benefit</a>, with shares climbing on Monday.

China Ends Freeze On Boeing Deliveries As 90-Day Tariff Pause With US Brings Relief: Report

Experts are predicting a surge in the shipments of goods from China to the U.S. following the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45341884/apple-amazon-nvidia-rise-in-monday-premarket-as-us-china-agree-to-90-day-tariff-truce-neither-side-wants-a-decoupling">90-day tariff pause</a>, which could potentially spur economic activity in the term.
What Happened: According to Ryan Petersen, the founder and CEO of a supply chain management company, Flexport, ocean freight bookings from China to the U.S. increased 35% on the first day since the trade deal.
&#8220;A big backlog is looming; soon the ships will be sold out,&#8221; he added.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Louis Navellier from Navellier &amp; Associates also backed this by forecasting that businesses were likely to load up on goods during the 90-day postponement window.
&#8220;In the short run, businesses will be loading up on goods during the 90-day postponement window, which will support employment and reduce the full impact of the tariffs on inflation, and longer term, we should see further announcements of expansion of U.S. manufacturing, which should support business activity and employment,&#8221; he said.

Why It Matters: As the concerns about &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45339784/mohamed-el-erian-warns-us-china-deal-reveals-americas-fear-of-empty-shelves-as-markets-rally-on-trade-optimism-peter-schiff-skeptical-without-renminbi-revaluation">empty shelves</a>&#8221; rattled the businesses and the economists after the tariff announcement, a 90-day pause is a short-term relief. 
According to the data highlighted by Torsten Slok, the chief economist at Apollo Academy, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45341850/economists-warn-of-empty-shelves-if-goods-stop-coming-from-china-amid-falling-inventory-to-sales-ratio-and-potential-tariffs">inventory-to-sales ratio for retailers</a> fell below the pre-pandemic level, sparking concerns about lower inventory as compared to the sales made by these retailers. 
Slok explained, "In other words, retailers will more quickly have empty shelves when goods no longer come in from China."
However, the boost in goods ordered from China to the U.S. could help ease these concerns, as highlighted by Flexport CEO and Navellier.
Price Action: 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, jumped with joy on Monday.

China To US Goods Shipment Jump After 90-Day Tariff Postponement: 'A Big Backlog Is Looming'

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed an improvement in the overall market sentiment, while the index remained in the &#8220;Greed&#8221; zone on Monday.
U.S. stocks settled higher on Monday, with the Dow Jones index jumping more than 1,100 points during the session. The U.S. and China agreed to a 90-day truce by slashing triple-digit tariffs effective May 14. The Trump administration also agreed to hold more formal trade talks with Beijing after mounting signs of economic pressure on businesses and consumers.
However, major indices on the US closed lower last week, with the S&amp;P 500 falling about 0.5% and the Nasdaq down around 0.3%. The Dow also declined almost 0.2% in the week.
NRG Energy, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NRG#NYSE">NRG</a>) reported better-than-expected first-quarter financial results. Shares of Kindly MD, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KDLY#NASDAQ">KDLY</a>) jumped 251% on Monday after the company announced a merger agreement with Nakamoto Holdings to start a Bitcoin treasury strategy.

Under Armour, CyberArk Software And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Tuesday

Dave Ramsey says a $100 monthly investment can make millionaires, and he's tired of skeptics who claim most savers will die before cashing in.
What Happened: During "The Ramsey Show," the personal-finance host dismantled a listener's math, noting that $100 a month compounded at 12% for 40 years grows to $1.176 million, not $5 million as claimed by the listener.
He added that U.S. life expectancy data contradicts the caller's fatalism: males who reach 65 live another 18 years on average, to roughly 83.
Ramsey's example echoes figures he uses in his book Baby Steps Millionaires, which profiles first-generation wealth builders who followed his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/06/39316291/dave-ramsey-tells-americans-if-you-retire-broke-its-your-fault-explains-how-to-retire-with-1-mil">seven-step plan</a>. "Almost no one saves just $100 for 40 years … It's an example saying if you'll save money, you can build wealth," he told the caller, dismissing claims that race or income doom savers to fail. &#8220;Skin pigmentation doesn't cause wealth building one way or another.&#8221;

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Why The Math Checks Out</h4>
Financial calculators confirm that a $1,200 annual contribution invested in a broad-based mutual fund earning the S&amp;P 500's 40-year average of about 11.8% would <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/42026823/this-is-how-you-get-wealthy-dave-ramsey-details-how-one-move-could-make-you-5-million-by-retirement">top $1 million</a> by year 40. Ramsey notes the strategy hinges on consistency, not timing markets — an approach the Federal Reserve's 2023 household-well-being survey shows few Americans adopt, as most say their retirement savings are off track.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">A Broader Wealth Gap</h4>
Critics counter that median retirement balances for near-retirees sit below $200,000, suggesting many households can't spare $100. Ramsey retorts that 89% of U.S. millionaires are first-generation, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41146426/can-you-guess-the-top-5-careers-of-millionaires-according-to-dave-ramsey-spoiler-alert-theyre-no">citing</a> his National Study of Millionaires. "Roll up your sleeves, live on less than you make, get out of debt," he said.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Context for 12% returns</h4>
While Ramsey's assumed 12% annual return surpasses recent market performance, long-term S&amp;P data show <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43631283/its-your-own-fault-if-youre-25-and-dont-end-up-a-millionaire-warns-dave-ramsey-explains-how-even-40-year-olds-can-hit-1-million-by-60">rolling 40-year returns</a> above 10% are not unprecedented. Analysts caution that future returns may moderate, but even an 8% rate would turn $100 a month into roughly $300,000 — far above today's median savings.
Ramsey's bottom line: excuses steal hope. "Quit your whining … If you want to win, you can go win. We'll help you," he said, pointing listeners to his "Baby Steps" framework and urging them to start saving — even if it's just $100.

Dave Ramsey Calls Listener's Math The 'Most Ridiculous Thing I've Ever Heard', Proves Consistent $100 Investments Can Still Make Millionaires

President Donald Trump referred to the&nbsp;European Union&nbsp;as &#8220;nastier than China&#8221; in Monday&#8217;s press briefing during the signing of&nbsp;an executive order aimed at&nbsp;lowering prescription drug prices.
What Happened: Trump called on Europeans to shoulder more financial responsibilities, especially in the healthcare sector. He maintained that the U.S. has the upper hand in trade agreements with the EU. &nbsp;&#8220;Oh, they&#8217;ll come down a lot. You watch. We have all the cards. They treat us very unfairly,&#8221; stated Trump as <a href="https://www.politico.eu/article/trump-eu-nastier-than-china/">reported </a>by Politico.
The President&#8217;s remarks represent a notable shift from his earlier praise of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, whom he had described as "fantastic" a few days before. Although she has met with several European leaders, von der Leyen has not yet confirmed a meeting with Trump, stating she would only do so if a &#8220;concrete&#8221; trade package could be negotiated.
Trump&#8217;s remarks about the EU were aimed at compelling pharmaceutical companies to sell medications in the U.S. at the lowest prices they charge in other countries.
&#8220;Europe&#8217;s&nbsp;going to have to pay&nbsp;a little bit more. The&nbsp;rest of the world is&nbsp;going to have to pay&nbsp;a little bit more,&#8221; he said, adding, &#8220;And&nbsp;America is going to pay&nbsp;a lot less.&#8221;

Why It Matters: These remarks come amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45310598/us-blatant-tariffs-spark-eu-backlash-as-bloc-plans-wto-challenge-proposes-107-billion-in-countermeasures">rising tensions</a> between the U.S. and the EU. Earlier this month, the EU announced plans to challenge the U.S.&#8217;s tariff policy at the World Trade Organization (WTO), proposing countermeasures worth €95 billion ($107.4 billion) if a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45310598/us-blatant-tariffs-spark-eu-backlash-as-bloc-plans-wto-challenge-proposes-107-billion-in-countermeasures">trade deal</a> with Washington fails to materialize.
Contrarily, U.S. Vice President JD Vance had recently emphasized the importance of unity between the U.S. and Europe, calling the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45278156/jd-vance-softens-tone-says-us-and-europe-are-on-same-team-calls-divide-talk-completely-ridiculous-ahead-of-eu-tariff-response">talk of a divide </a>&#8220;completely ridiculous&#8221;. His comments were made at the Munich Leaders Meeting in Washington, according to another.
Notably, Trump&#8217;s comments on the EU come a day after the U.S. and China agreed upon a 90-day tariff truce to de-escalate trade tensions.

CyberArk Software Earnings Are Imminent; These Most Accurate Analysts Revise Forecasts Ahead Of Earnings Call

The Federal Trade Commission has accused Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) of concealing key evidence in the antitrust case that claims the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/42822625/big-techs-date-with-antitrust-alphabet-meta-amazon-brace-for-legal-showdowns-in-2025">retail giant abused its market power</a>. As per a new court filing, the FTC says Amazon withheld thousands of non-privileged documents by incorrectly labeling them as protected.
What Happened: Following an order by a federal judge to re-review its privilege claims, Amazon withdrew 92% of them and presented around 70,000 documents it had withheld earlier, according <a href="https://www.courthousenews.com/ftc-accuses-amazon-of-hiding-evidence-in-antitrust-case/">to</a> the Courthouse News Service. 
The FTC discovered that around 75% of those had been completely shielded from view. In a small in-camera review, a single sentence out of nine documents was deemed privileged. 
One document quoted a top executive calling founder and former CEO Jeff Bezos Amazon's "chief dark arts officer" when describing the "shady world" of tactics employed to boost Prime subscriptions, the report noted.

Why It Matters: The FTC says these documents were withheld not because they were legally protected, but because they &nbsp;damaging evidence. "In essence, Amazon's privilege log — on which the FTC has relied throughout discovery — was almost entirely wrong," the commission wrote in its motion. "It is impossible to square a 92% error rate across tens of thousands of documents with a mere mistake."
The commission also said that Amazon has a pattern of falsely labeling routine communications as "privileged" and alleged that the company instructs staff to mislabel documents to sidestep regulatory scrutiny. "The blatant nature and ubiquity of these actions demonstrate&#8230; a purposeful plan," the FTC added.
Calling the withheld records &#8220;probative, inculpatory, and entirely nonprivileged,&#8221; the FTC has asked the court for another 90 days of discovery and for Amazon to bear the resulting costs. Amazon denies any wrongdoing. "The FTC wants to distract from the facts," a spokesperson said in a statement.
Amazon is not the only tech giant locking horns with the FTC. Last month, hearings began as part of the FTC's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44888906/meta-faces-an-antitrust-lawsuit-ftc-says-company-holds-a-social-network-monopoly">antitrust lawsuit against Meta</a>.
Amid these high-profile cases, the FTC is also facing a shortage of resources due <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44310724/doge-cuts-to-ftc-sow-confusion-in-case-against-amazon">to cuts enacted by DOGE</a>.

ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood applauded Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) on its inclusion in the S&amp;P 500 index, marking the first cryptocurrency <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45365186/coinbase-stock-jumps-nearly-11-after-hours-monday-heres-why">company to achieve this milestone</a>.
What Happened: Wood responded to Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong&#8216;s announcement by congratulating both him and the company on X, calling the recognition &#8220;well deserved.&#8221; 
She noted that while active managers like ARK Invest rely on fundamental research rather than index providers to select stocks, the inclusion of Coinbase in a major index would force index-tracking funds to take notice. &#8220;Index-sensitive managers will be compelled to consider COIN now,&#8221; Wood wrote. 
The S&amp;P 500 addition represents a watershed moment for cryptocurrency legitimacy in traditional finance, potentially forcing index fund managers to allocate capital to the digital asset space. 
Armstrong highlighted this achievement as validation that &#8220;crypto is here to stay,&#8221; reflecting growing mainstream acceptance of the asset class despite its historically volatile nature.

Why It Matters: Wood has maintained an exceptionally bullish outlook on cryptocurrency markets, recently reiterating ARK&#8217;s forecast of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) reaching between <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45335755/cathie-wood-stands-firm-on-bold-700000-bitcoin-prediction-for-investors-says-bull-case-in-the-1-5-million-range">$700,000 and $750,000 by 2030</a> in her base case, with a bull case target of $1.5 million. 
She attributes this dramatic growth potential to Bitcoin&#8217;s capacity to capture market share from gold, increasing institutional adoption and emerging market applications. 
This S&amp;P 500 inclusion comes amid Coinbase&#8217;s aggressive expansion efforts, including its recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45287050/coinbase-acquires-deribit-in-2-9b-deal-to-expand-crypto-derivatives-business">$2.9 billion acquisition of crypto</a> options exchange Deribit and the launch of 24/7 trading for Bitcoin and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) futures through its Commodity Futures Trading Commission -regulated exchange, making it the first regulated <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45324908/coinbase-launches-24-7-bitcoin-ethereum-futures-trading-what-does-that-mean">U.S. exchange to offer around-the-clock access</a> to leveraged crypto derivatives.

Renowned independent investment strategist Ed Yardeni, the President of Yardeni Research, has lowered his U.S. recession probability while raising his S&amp;P 500 target following the trade deal with China.
What Happened: After the U.S. and China announced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45341884/apple-amazon-nvidia-rise-in-monday-premarket-as-us-china-agree-to-90-day-tariff-truce-neither-side-wants-a-decoupling">90-day truce </a>on Monday, the markets cheered the development as the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100 rallied over 3%.
While this provides a short-term relief, Yardeni noted in his QuickTakes that the negative wealth effect of President Donald Trump&#8217;s tariffs was &#8220;probably insignificant&#8221; after the announcement of the deal.
According to his earlier analysis, the tariff turmoil was having a &#8220;negative wealth effect on consumers, especially retired and soon-to-be retiring Baby Boomers, who collectively own about $25 trillion in corporate equities and mutual funds.&#8221;
This led him to raise the &#8220;subjective probability of a recession&#8221; this year from 20% to 35% on March 5, and from 35% to 45% on March 31 as stock prices tanked in response to the tariffs.
However, he said that &#8220;We didn&#8217;t cross over to the dark side subsequently, i.e., forecasting greater than a 50% chance of a recession. Instead, we lowered our recession odds back down to 35% on May 4. Now we are lowering it again to 25%.&#8221;
After Monday&#8217;s stock market rally, he also raised the S&amp;P 500 year-end target back up to 6,500 from 6,000.

Why It Matters: Concerning other metrics, Yardeni highlighted that he has raised the real GDP growth range to 1.5%-2.5% this year, up from our previous 0.5%-1.5%.
Also, he predicts the S&amp;P 500 forward earnings to rise to $300 per share at the end of this year.
&#8220;We now see the S&amp;P 500 forward P/E at 21.6 at the end of the year rather than 20.0 as we previously had projected,&#8221; he said.
Price Action: 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, jumped with joy on Monday.
