The European Union&#8217;s pledge to purchase $750 billion worth&nbsp;of U.S. energy products over&nbsp;the next three years, as part of its trade deal with the U.S., has been met with skepticism from industry experts.
What Happened:&nbsp;President Donald Trump announced a trade agreement with the European Union, under which the EU committed to purchasing $750 billion worth of U.S. energy products over the next three years. However, industry analysts have expressed doubts about the feasibility of this pledge,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-e-u-says-it-will-buy-750-billion-of-u-s-energy-products-why-thats-absurd-ac5de025?mod=home_ln">reported</a>&nbsp;MarketWatch.
However, to meet the $750 billion target, the EU would be required to more than triple its annual U.S. energy imports, a move that energy experts have deemed &#8220;wholly unrealistic.&#8221;
Michael Lynch, president of Strategic&nbsp;Energy &amp; Economic Research, questioned the feasibility of the plan, stating, &#8220;While&nbsp;it is possible to imagine&nbsp;an increased level of [energy]&nbsp;exports to Europe, this would&nbsp;be a major upheaval in&nbsp;our energy trade.&#8221;
In 2024, U.S. energy exports to the EU totaled $78.5 billion, implying that the EU would have to buy approximately&nbsp;$250 billion per year of&nbsp;energy products from the U.S.&nbsp;for the next three years&nbsp;to reach the $750 billion figure.
Experts also pointed out that energy flows are driven by private-sector buying choices rather than political commitments. Matt Smith, lead U.S.&nbsp;analyst at Kpler, said the&nbsp;$250 billion-a-year figure seems to be a &#8220;wholly unrealistic number.&#8221;
Rory Johnston, founder of CommodityContext, stated on X, &#8220;&#8230;even if the $250 bn/yr in E.U. energy purchases from the U.S. pledge wasn&#8217;t absurd on its face &#8211; it is, for the record.&#8221;
&#8220;So how would literally any of this work?&#8221; he questioned.
Despite ongoing skepticism, some argue that the U.S. could partially offset the EU&#8217;s lost Russian supply, given that American LNG exports to Europe have reached record levels. However, meeting the $750 billion commitment largely through LNG would require a scale and pace that surpass current logistical, commercial and infrastructure capabilities within the three-year timeframe of the agreement.

Why It Matters: The trade deal has been met with criticism from economists and political leaders alike. Prior to the announcement, economists warned that the deal would disproportionately harm American consumers and businesses.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/07/46651859/trumps-new-eu-trade-deal-labeled-bad-news-by-economists-as-dow-futures-spike-over-150-points">Economist Peter Schiff</a>&nbsp;noted that under the new terms, Americans would face higher tariffs on most European goods.
Furthermore, the deal failed to spark significant market gains, with investors focusing on more <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46678276/jim-cramer-says-trumps-tariff-deal-with-eu-lands-dead-last-on-wall-streets-priority-list-heres-whats-important">pressing concerns</a> such as Big Tech earnings and Federal Reserve policy decisions, as&nbsp;highlighted by CNBC commentator, Jim Cramer.
French Prime Minister François Bayrou also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46679465/trumps-eu-trade-deal-an-act-of-submission-says-french-pm-its-a-dark-day">criticized the deal</a>, branding it as an act of "submission" by the European Union. The deal sets a blanket 15% tariff on most EU exports to the United States, which is half the 30% Trump had threatened for August 1, but still far above the low single‑digit duties European manufacturers long enjoyed. In exchange, Brussels agreed to buy $750 billion in American energy and steer $600 billion in additional investment into U.S. industry and defense goods over the next several years.

Investment bank Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) has published a report predicting a $200 billion market for self-driving cars by the year 2030.
What Happened: Analyst Adam Jonas and Tim Hsiao shared in the report that adoption for autonomous vehicles will take off in the near future with the growth of AI and comprise 28% of unit sales by 2030, Bloomberg reported <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2025-07-28/morgan-stanley-sees-200b-autonomous-car-market-by-2030-video">on</a> Monday.
The report outlined 5 levels of autonomous driving for vehicles and predicts that smart driving would generate over $300-$400 billion in revenue for companies by 2035.
However, the report also spoke about China's dominance in the all-electric mobility sector, writing that "An outsized EV user base and tech deflation have given China an early edge."
The report also added that Silicon Valley's "dominance of AI computing power and data" is an advantage for tech companies as well as the German big three automakers.
Why It Matters: The news comes in as autonomous driving in the U.S. could face stricter regulations from the government after President Donald Trump's nominee for the NHTSA, Jonathan Morrison, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46434613/elon-musks-tesla-could-face-stricter-oversight-as-trumps-nhtsa-pick-targets-autonomous-driving-cannot-sit-back">called for tougher oversight</a> on the sector.
Autonomous driving has seen growth in the U.S. as Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) partnered up with Alphabet Inc.'s (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>) Waymo to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46485120/gary-black-thinks-uber-benefits-most-as-autonomous-driving-technology-develops-says-tesla-could-undercut-other-ride-hailing-companies-by-mastering-unsupervised-autonomy">expand its services</a> in Atlanta.&nbsp;
Elsewhere, Tesla Inc.

Russian flag carrier Aeroflot canceled more than 100 flights on Monday after a crippling cyberattack that two pro‑Ukraine hacking groups claimed as their work, disrupting travel across the world's largest country.
What Happened: According to a <a href="https://apnews.com/article/aeroflot-cyberattack-russia-flights-cancellations-delays-hackers-2cb7e23d47638769021e02df8cfd1ec4">report</a> by the Associated Press, the groups, Silent Crow and the Belarus Cyber‑Partisans, said they penetrated the airline's systems, forcing widespread outages.
Aeroflot acknowledged problems but did not detail the cause. "In a statement released early Monday, Aeroflot warned passengers that the company's information technology system was experiencing unspecified difficulties and that disruption could follow."
Russia's Prosecutor's Office later said a cyberattack caused the outage and opened a criminal probe. The Kremlin called the incident "quite alarming."
Social media images of Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport showed crowds of stranded travelers, and delays also hit Aeroflot subsidiaries Rossiya and Pobeda, with some international flights to Belarus, Armenia and Uzbekistan affected.

Silent Crow said it had been inside Aeroflot's corporate network for a year and claimed to have copied internal and customer data before destroying resources, assertions news outlets could not immediately verify. The Belarus Cyber‑Partisans called the operation one of their most consequential, saying they exploited multiple vulnerabilities over months. The group based out of Belarus told AP their aim was to &#8220;deliver a crushing blow.&#8221;
Why It Matters: The Associated Press noted Russia has previously faced disruptive attacks on government sites and state companies such as Russian Railways, while airports have endured periodic shutdowns tied to drone threats. Ukrainian drone attacks have also repeatedly caused mass delays at Russia's airports this summer, grounding flights amid safety concerns.
Cyber disruptions to aviation aren't unique to Russia. The Seattle‑Tacoma International Airport, operated by the Port Of Seattle, was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40569486/seattle-tacoma-airports-operations-disrupted-by-cyberattack-heres-what-to-know-if-you-are-travelling">snarled by a cyberattack</a> last year, although flight operations weren&#8217;t affected at the time.

Russia's Airline Gets Hobbled By Potent Cyberattack, Kremlin Calls Attack 'Quite Alarming'

Entrepreneur and investor Anthony Pompliano ignited a discussion Monday on the potential of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) as a corporate reserve asset, deeming it the &#8220;contrarian&#8221; bet against the weakening U.S. dollar.
What Happened: During an interview with CNBC, Pompliano said that there should be &#8220;way more pressure&#8221; on the public companies that are leaving a large portion of shareholders&#8217; economic value in dollars.
Pompliano said that the dollar has lost 30% of its purchasing power over the last five years. This was closer to the Bureau of Labor Statistics consumer price index, which <a href="https://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm">estimated</a> that today&#8217;s prices are 25% higher than the average prices in June 2020.
&#8220;It goes back to the fact that if you are running a company and you have shareholders, and your job is to protect the economic value of that business, are you better off holding dollars for the next ten years or putting it in Bitcoin?&#8221; he added.
<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">Public companies are destroying economic value of their shareholders by holding a large allocation to an asset that is guaranteed to devalue. Holding bitcoin on your balance sheet is contrarian today. Eventually it will be consensus.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
From a Bitcoiner&#8217;s perspective, Pompliano argued, that companies are speculating on the dollar&#8217;s ability to store value, and that the idea of storing corporate assets in Bitcoin has now become a &#8220;contrarian trait.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Pompliano has been a vocal backer of Bitcoin. Last month, he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/25/06/46109437/anthony-pomplianos-company-may-have-bought-more-bitcoin-than-gamestop-but-michael-saylors-strategy-and-mara-still-reign-supreme" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">launched a Bitcoin treasury company</a>, ProCap BTC, LLC, which has already accumulated 4,932 BTC, worth $587 million at current prices.

The firm seeks to emulate the Bitcoin investment strategy popularized by Michael Saylor&#8217;s Strategy Inc.

Price Action:  At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $118,744.62, down 0.46% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi criticized President Donald Trump&#8216;s decision to deny Taiwan President Lai Ching-te permission to visit New York, calling it a dangerous signal that America &#8220;can be bullied by Beijing into silence on Taiwan.&#8221;
What Happened: &#8220;Donald Trump&#8217;s decision to deny permission for President Lai to visit New York sends a dangerous signal: that the United States can be bullied by Beijing into silence on Taiwan,&#8221; Pelosi stated, citing a Financial Times report. &#8220;This is a victory&#8221; for Chinese President Xi Jinping.

The Trump administration blocked Lai&#8217;s planned August transit through New York en route to Paraguay, Guatemala and Belize after China raised objections with Washington, according <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/21575bec-5cdd-47ee-9db2-3031c4ea7ca7">to</a> three sources cited by the Financial Times. Lai&#8217;s office said on Monday he had no travel plans due to typhoon recovery and ongoing U.S. tariff discussions.
The decision deepens concerns among Taiwan supporters that Trump is softening his China stance while pursuing a summit with Jinping. The Financial Times reported the Commerce Department was told to freeze planned export controls against China during ongoing trade talks.

Barclays Q2 RoTE Rises To 12.3% On £2.5B Profit Before Tax; Loan Loss Ratio Up To 44bps On £0.5B Credit Impairments Including Tesco Bank Impact

The U.S. Treasury has announced plans to borrow a staggering $1.007 trillion in the third quarter, a move attributed to the need to restore its cash reserves, which were depleted during the recent debt ceiling crisis.
What Happened: The Treasury&#8217;s borrowing projection for the third quarter is significantly higher than the $453 billion estimated in April, primarily due to a lower starting cash balance and anticipated reduced net cash flows. The department foresees a cash balance of $850 billion at the end of September.
This substantial borrowing is necessary to rebuild the Treasury&#8217;s cash reserves, which were depleted following the enactment of President Donald Trump&#8216;s tax and spending bill&nbsp;on July 4. The debt&nbsp;ceiling was raised by $5 trillion to $41.1 trillion after the new spending legislation was signed into law.
As of July 3, the Treasury's cash balance had dropped to $313 billion, according to data from money market research firm Wrightson ICAP. Looking ahead, the Treasury anticipates borrowing $590 billion in the fourth quarter, based on a projected year-end cash balance of $850 billion.

Why It Matters: The Treasury&#8217;s decision to borrow such a substantial amount is a direct result of the recent debt ceiling crisis and the subsequent need to replenish its cash reserves. 
This development comes in the wake of a&nbsp;visit by President Trump to the Federal Reserve, where he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/07/46633129/trumps-fed-visit-powell-interest-rates">publicly clashed</a> with Chair Jerome Powell over the cost of the central bank&#8217;s real estate overhaul. This event underscored the urgency of America&#8217;s $7.1 trillion deficit and its potential impact on markets and monetary policy.

US Treasury Plans $1 Trillion Borrowing In Third Quarter Amid Cash Shortfall Post Debt Ceiling Standoff

Opendoor Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OPEN#NASDAQ">OPEN</a>) has surged 341.51% month-to-date, largely driven by an X post from Eric Jackson on July 14, amid the meme stock frenzy. However, Jackson, the founder of EMJ Capital, believes that OPEN isn&#8217;t a meme stock.
Check out the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/OPEN">OPEN stock price here</a>.
What Happened: The online real estate platform, Opendoor, has seen its gains trimmed over the last five trading sessions, declining by 40.08% despite a 340% rise over the past month.
On July 14, Jackson posted a thread on X outlining his bullish thesis on Opendoor. He announced that his hedge fund had taken a long position in the stock, which was trading under $1 at the time, and predicted it could reach $82 per share in the coming years, potentially becoming a &#8220;100-bagger.&#8221;
This decline followed the correction in other meme stocks that rallied with OPEN during the same period. Krispy Kreme Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DNUT#NASDAQ">DNUT</a>) zoomed 41.24%, Kohl&#8217;s Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KSS#NYSE">KSS</a>) rose 51.30% and GoPro Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GPRO#NASDAQ">GPRO</a>) advanced 85.53% during the last month.
But talking about Opendoor, Jackson <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/opendoor-stock-price-meme-stocks-rally-eric-jackson-emj-capital-2025-7">told</a> Business Insider that &#8220;I&#8217;m in this for the long run. I&#8217;m not here to pump up a stock and jump out of it. I&#8217;ve never done that.&#8221;
He explained that he took &#8220;offense&#8221; when Opendoor was compared to the meme stocks, as he thinks of meme stocks as having &#8220;kind of terrible businesses&#8221; and he would never own one. According to him, Opendoor is a legitimate turnaround story, and he has been bullish on the stock since the pandemic in 2020.

According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>, OPEN has jumped 159.77% since July 14 after Jackson posted an X thread highlighting his views on the company.

Why It Matters: Jackson&#8217;s optimism was based on several factors;
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Opendoor&#8217;s cost-cutting efforts.</li>
<li>The firm&#8217;s market leadership in the iBuying space following the exit from competitors like Zillow and Redfin.</li>
<li>The potential for a housing market recovery is driven by expected interest rate cuts.</li>
</ul>
Furthermore, Jackson, in his July 14 thread, also compared Opendoor's potential to Carvana Co.&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVNA#NYSE">CVNA</a>) turnaround, where he had also made an early bullish call.
He criticized Opendoor's proposed reverse stock split and called for operational improvements, including better execution from CEO Carrie Wheeler and the potential return of co-founder Keith Rabois.
Price Action: On Monday, OPEN fell 7.87% to $2.34 per share. It was up 47.17% year-to-date and down 6.02% over the last year.
Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings indicate that OPEN maintains solid momentum across short, medium, and long-term periods. However, while the stock scores well on value rankings, its growth rating remains relatively weak.
