The SPDR Gold Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NASDAQ">GLD</a>) is up 3.3% to $316.15 during Monday&#8217;s session as investors flee traditional U.S. assets for the session <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44904179/wall-street-sinks-dollar-slides-as-trump-ramps-up-fed-attacks-whats-driving-markets-monday">amid rising political instability</a> and inflation concerns. 
What To Know: Gold prices to an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44903750/gold-price-soars-to-record-highs-eyes-best-2-month-rally-since-2011-on-blockbuster-etf-buying">all-time high of $3,410 per ounce</a>, capping a nearly 20% rally since March—GLD's strongest two-month run since 2011.
The surge comes amid renewed doubts over U.S. economic leadership. President Donald Trump's public feud with Fed Chair Jerome Powell, including calls for immediate rate cuts and threats to remove Powell, has rattled markets. This political interference, paired with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44848474/fed-chair-powell-says-tariffs-lead-to-temporary-rise-in-inflation">ongoing inflation fears</a>, has eroded confidence in the dollar and U.S. Treasuries.
As a result, investors are turning to gold ETFs. GLD alone has seen over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44903750/gold-price-soars-to-record-highs-eyes-best-2-month-rally-since-2011-on-blockbuster-etf-buying">$8.3 billion in inflows since January</a>, highlighting robust institutional and retail demand. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/04/44905838/netflix-playing-offense-while-stock-plays-defense-6-analysts-on-q1-results-advertising-growth-ahead">Analysts</a> say this rally is structurally driven, not speculative, and may have further room to run—with Goldman Sachs forecasting $3,700 gold by year-end.
With the S&amp;P 500 tumbled 2.9% and the Nasdaq-100 fell 3.1% Monday afternoon, gold remains a rare bright spot, on Monday reaffirming its role as a safe-haven during times of financial and political stress.

Why SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) Is Up 3% Monday

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/china" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chinese e-commerce giant</a> JD.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) has alleged rival platforms of forcibly persuading couriers to ditch JD Takeaway service, Reuters reported, citing the company&#8217;s social media post on Monday.
Benzinga reached out to the company for comments.
JD Takeaway began&nbsp;onboarding restaurants&nbsp;in February, ensuring &#8220;zero commissions.&#8221;

According to the Reuters report, Meituan (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPNGF#OTC">MPNGF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPNGY#OTC">MPNGY</a>) dominated China&#8217;s food delivery sector, with Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>)-owned&nbsp;Ele.me the second-largest player in the country.
JD.com has promised to provide sufficient orders to couriers banned by other platforms. It aims to increase full-time riders to 100,000 from 50,000 in the next quarter.
JD.com has been expanding in the delivery and logistics space not just organically, but by making major investments in the last five years.
It had invested more than $800 million in Dada Nexus, the operator of the rapid delivery service <a href="https://www.scmp.com/tech/big-tech/article/3126646/jdcom-invests-us800-million-last-mile-delivery-service-fill-gap-its" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">JD Daojia</a> in 2020.
Last year, it paid around $892 million to acquire the full stake in Kuayue-Express, which it did not already own.
Recently, President Donald Trump <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44646719/pdd-stock-drops-as-trumps-new-tariffs-threaten-chinese-e-commerce-giants" rel="noreferrer noopener">announced sweeping tariffs</a> on&nbsp;imports from China, raising the total duties on Chinese goods to as high as 245% in some cases, prompting criticism from Beijing.
Goldman analyst Andrew Tilton expects the Chinese government to retaliate with some targeted tariffs on US products as well as non-tariff measures like export controls.
It is worth noting that billionaire investor David Tepper&#8217;s&nbsp;Appaloosa Management increased its stakes in prominent&nbsp;Chinese e-commerce names during the fourth quarter of 2024.
On the other hand, American investor Carson Block, the founder of&nbsp;Muddy Waters Research, had snubbed China&#8217;s&nbsp;stock market rally, citing unreliability in corporate accounting and geopolitical risks.
Price Action: JD stock is down 3.30% at $33.60 at the last check on Monday.

Switching jobs can be stressful, but if you job hop correctly, you can end up with a higher salary. This strategy can be beneficial in the long run, but it's not easy for everyone to take the leap. Making the switch gets even more difficult if you like your current job.
A speech therapist in the healthcare industry recently turned to the Dave Ramsey Reddit community. She enjoys her boss, co-workers, and job. However, she has an opportunity to <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/DaveRamsey/comments/1k1f69a/would_this_be_worth_it_to_you_to_get_out_of_debt/">make more money by getting into travel therapy</a>.&nbsp;
"Right now, we don't feel financially stressed," she stated.

<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 $0.26/share!</a></li>
<li>The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"> How do you compare</a>?</li>
</ul>
However, she also owes $180,000 in student loans, and her fiance has a $42,000 student debt. She pays $2,000 per month toward debt, while the fiance pays $1,000 per month toward his debt. The couple has low living expenses right now, which will get much higher when they start to raise children.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">It's Worth Job Hopping If The Right Opportunity Comes Along</h2>
The Redditor can earn more from travel work, but a good job has to come first. Even though the speech therapist enjoys her job, it's still good to find a higher-paying opportunity. Her co-workers may not stay at the company forever, and if she leaves on good terms, she can always go back once she makes more money.
Now is the time to make as much money as possible. The couple is squaring off against more than $200,000 in combined debt. They are living frugally, which is helping them make the current payments. The couple pays $900 per month for rent and utilities. However, it will get more difficult to live like that when they start a family.
Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $250 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Take A Long-Term Perspective</h2>
The Redditor mentioned that she wants to start a family in the next two to three years. That's enough time to make a big dent in the debt. Other expenses will sprout like weeds when they start a family. While there are many joys of starting a family, you have to prepare for that reality.
Instead of thinking about how life is now, think about how you want it to be in the next 10, 20, and 30 years. Going up the corporate ladder and growing your career makes it easier to boost your income. It's also important to note that many wives want to spend more time with their children when the time arrives. Working harder now can make you more available for your children in the future.
It's also worth noting what type of work the fiance does and how much he can advance in his career. He might be able to find higher-paying work that allows him to get rid of his debt sooner. Then, he can use extra money to chip away at the principal on her student loans.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Hunker Down When Your Current Income</h2>
The Redditor also mentioned that they make $120,000 per year after taxes. While $900 per month on rent and utilities is a great deal, some commenters suggested that they cut down the expenses even more.&nbsp;
"Live on $48,000 per year and pay it down in three years," one commenter suggested.
The couple already spends $10,800 per year on rent and utilities. The remaining $37,200 in this equation comes to $3,100 per month. They still have to buy essentials like food and water, but they can trim down on other expenses like travel and entertainment. The Redditor doesn't break down how the couple spends money, but this is a good time to be aggressive with non-essential expenses.
Getting out of debt is the priority. It can mean taking on a higher-paying job, and it's great to capitalize on an opportunity if it arrives. However, it's just as important to review expenses and see how much the couple can save.&nbsp;
Putting the remaining $72,000 toward student loans each year can get the couple out of debt within four years. Then, they will be in a better position to raise a family with less financial stress.&nbsp;

A Redditor Asks If She Should Leave A Secure Job To Get Out Of Debt Before Starting A Family: 'Right Now We Don't Feel Financially Stressed'

Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) and Target Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>) shares spiked earlier today but have have since reversed and begun trading lower. President Donald Trump is set to meet with executives from these companies and other major retailers, according to <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-21/trump-to-meet-walmart-target-execs-as-tariff-angst-spreads">Bloomberg.</a>
What To Know: Trump is scheduled to meet with executives from Walmart, Target, The Home Depot, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) and Lowe's Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LOW#NYSE">LOW</a>) to discuss how tariffs are affecting their operations. The meeting follows a 90-day suspension of planned tariff increases for most U.S. trading partners, excluding China.
Both the Consumer Confidence Index and the Expectations Index declined in March amid concerns about tariff-driven price increases and inflation. The Consumer Confidence Index <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44475192/consumer-confidence-falls-to-lowest-since-2022-as-inflation-tariff-worries-grow">fell by 7.2 points</a> to 92.9 in March, reaching its lowest level since late 2022 and representing its fourth consecutive monthly decline. The Expectations Index, which reflects consumer outlook on business, income and labor market conditions over the next six months, dropped to 65.2, below the 80 level often seen as a sign of a coming recession. 
In response to price hike concerns, consumers rushed to buy products such as cars and electronics in March to avoid the full impact of tariffs. U.S. retail sales rose 1.4% that month compared to February, while vehicle purchases jumped 5.3%.
Walmart and Target stocks may have initially risen on optimism surrounding the meeting, but have since pulled back as investors weigh the potential outcomes.

Price Action: At the time of writing, Walmart stock is trading 1.49% lower at $91.83 and Target shares are moving 0.06% lower at $93.05, according to data from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro.</a>

General

What's Going On With Walmart and Target Stock Monday?

Netflix (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) reported earnings last Thursday and the response has been positive among traders. The stock has bounced up, briefly recovering the $1,000 price target and now hovering just below that level.
The broad market remains volatile amid the trade war with China, but based on Monday&#8217;s price action, we may have a tradable bottom. However, the topside could be limited in the near term.
That&#8217;s the perfect setup for this &#8220;back ratio&#8221; trade.
Netflix&#8217;s relative resistance zone sits right around $1060, while support is well below near $700.
The back ratio call spread involves buying one call option just below that resistance zone. At the same time, selling two calls just above that zone, like so:
<ul>
<li>Buy to open 1 NFLX 960 calls </li>
<li>Sell to open 2 NFLX 1080 calls </li>
</ul>
I&#8217;ve picked September expiration dates to ‘jump' over the volatility we are likely to see in the summer, which remains unknown. The back ratio holds risk but allows us to finance this bullish position into the future.&nbsp;
This trade requires a margin if the stock is not already in your portfolio. For every call we buy, we sell two calls at higher strikes allowing us to finance part of the position. 
As for cost, the back ratio above holds a current credit of $11.55 at the time of this writing and will define the maximum credit if prices fall below $960 into expiration. 
The breakeven price of the stock at expiration on this trade is $948.45 at this writing, so we will be in profit above this price into expiration.&nbsp;
The maximum profit for this position is calculated in the following way: the long strike $960 subtracted from the short strike $1080 is $120. This difference times 100 yields $1,200 plus the credit we collected at the trade outset, $1,155 is $1,355. If we do not breach the $1,080 price, we achieve maximum gains for the position. 
If we do not own the stock, we will have a theoretically unlimited risk exposure, as prices could move dramatically, so we must calculate where our returns diminish. Every penny above the stock price of $1,080 reduces our profit. If the stock rises past $1,080, a trade adjustment is advised. 
As with all option plays, there are many ways to leave the trade, but I will discuss the following:&nbsp;
<ol>
<li>Sell the back ratio when it has accumulated a predefined profit for your trading style. We have time on our side with this kind of trade, so as long as support holds, the trade premise remains valid. Set an alert for $1,080 as there is only risk if the stock rises sharply and stays there. </li>
<li>Sell the back ratio when there are less than 21 days to expiration as volatility expansion will affect these positions significantly. </li>
<li>Sell the back ratio when it hits a predefined stop or risk limit for your trading style. This trade will erode profits the further above $1,080 it climbs. </li>
<li>&#x2A;&#x2A; You could turn this into a butterfly by buying the strike at $1200, but this becomes a debit and the risk will now be the outlay of cash to purchase the position.</li>
</ol>

Trader Notes: Crypto investor and entrepreneur Ted Pillows pointed out that Bitcoin is catching up with gold's rally, while the S&amp;P 500 continues to trend lower, suggesting that Bitcoin has started to decouple from equities. 
He believes this signals the start of a meaningful Bitcoin rally from current levels.

Bitcoin, Dogecoin Up, Ethereum, XRP Flat On Slow Monday Start

Shares of PepsiCo Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEP#NASDAQ">PEP</a>) shares fell 1.24% to $141.07 Monday afternoon as political and renewed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">tariff risks</a> rattled investor sentiment across sectors.
The decline comes amid a broader selloff triggered by President Donald Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44904179/wall-street-sinks-dollar-slides-as-trump-ramps-up-fed-attacks-whats-driving-markets-monday">public attack</a> on Fed Chair Jerome Powell and hints of potential dismissal, raising fears of eroded central bank independence. 
What To Know: For multinationals like internationally, a weakening U.S. dollar and policy unpredictability threaten pricing power and cost stability.
Moreover, Powell's warning that tariffs may <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44899617/90-chance-of-recession-due-to-trumps-tariffs-sharp-slowdown-is-coming-economist-says">drive inflation higher</a>, potentially in a more persistent fashion, spells trouble for Pepsi's global supply chain. With commodity and packaging costs already elevated, renewed trade frictions could further compress margins.
PepsiCo also faces heightened labor risk from immigration restrictions and policy-induced hiring slowdowns, both of which could disrupt its U.S. logistics and manufacturing operations.
With inflation still above the Fed's 2% target and rate cuts unlikely, consumer demand may weaken—putting pressure on non-essential purchases like soft drinks and snacks.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy PEP Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for PepsiCo &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share.
In the case of PepsiCo, which is trading at $141.07 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 0.71 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to &#8220;go short&#8221; a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, PEP has a 52-week high of $183.39 and a 52-week low of $138.33.

Earnings season is ramping up, and this week's spotlight is on Tesla. Alongside it, we'll also hear from major consumer-facing companies like Verizon, Procter &amp; Gamble, and Chipotle. These reports will offer valuable insight into the health and behavior of the U.S. consumer.
Tesla's report stands out as particularly compelling. Over the past year, Elon Musk has become more active in the political arena. While the outcome of the November election initially seemed favorable, the stock has since declined by over 50%, and internal challenges have mounted. Investors will be looking to this week's report for signs of a potential turnaround, or further confirmation of instability.
Chipotle and P&amp;G also deserve attention. Both companies are well-positioned to comment on real-time consumer demand. Any mention of a demand slowdown will be key, especially as many anticipate the start of a broader economic cool-down.
On the macro front, all eyes will be on services and manufacturing PMI data. These indicators will provide a fresh pulse check on economic activity. I'm especially watching the manufacturing data for early signs of impact from the new tariffs introduced earlier this month.
Lastly, a trade deal may be announced in the coming days. It's been over a week since the pause on reciprocal tariffs, and weekend developments suggest the first deal, likely with Japan, could be finalized soon. This would lay the foundation for future trade agreements and potentially reduce some near-term uncertainty.
My advice? Focus on the positive and keep an optimistic outlook.

Gav Blaxberg On Likely First Tariff Trade Deal, Key Earnings

MP Materials Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MP#NYSE">MP</a>) shares are falling Monday following the company&#8217;s announcement last week that it has halted shipments of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/b44871540/mp-materials-accelerates-strategy-to-reindustrialize-the-rare-earth-supply-chain">rare earth concentrate to China</a>.
What To Know: MP Materials detailed its strategy to reindustrialize the rare earth supply chain within the United States in a press release issued late last week. 
The decision comes in response to China&#8217;s imposition of 125% retaliatory tariffs on U.S. rare earth imports, which MP Materials said is &#8220;neither commercially rational nor aligned with America&#8217;s national interest.&#8221;
The company has invested nearly $1 billion to restore the full rare earth supply chain domestically.&nbsp;Currently, its California refinery processes nearly half of its production, with most of that material sold into markets outside China, including Japan, South Korea and the United States.&nbsp;
MP Materials is also accelerating downstream operations by ramping up oxide production, fast-tracking heavy rare earth separation and bringing magnet production online in Texas.
This strategic shift aligns with broader U.S. efforts to reduce reliance on Chinese rare earth processing amid escalating trade tensions. As the only scaled rare earth production source in the U.S., MP Materials&#8217; move is seen as a significant step toward securing a resilient domestic supply chain for critical materials used in electrification and advanced technologies.​
Metals and mining companies initially surged last week following reports that the Trump administration planned to stockpile deep-sea metals&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44650952/china-restricts-rare-earth-exports-to-us-as-part-of-tariff-retaliation" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">to counter China</a>.
Check This Out: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44902888/kevin-oleary-says-chinas-actions-have-wiped-out-millions-of-american-companies-i-dont-know-why-anyone-is-okay-with-it">Kevin O&#8217;Leary Says China&#8217;s Actions Have &#8216;Wiped Out&#8217; Millions Of American Companies—&#8217;I Don&#8217;t Know Why Anyone Is Okay With It&#8217;</a>
People familiar with the matter said the move was focused on countering China's rare earth supply chains and battery mineral dominance as the U.S. aims to become self-sufficient when it comes to critical minerals supply.
Investors are closely watching how these developments will impact MP Materials&#8217; financial performance and the broader rare earth market. The company&#8217;s focus on expanding domestic capabilities may position it favorably in the long term, despite potential short-term challenges associated with the cessation of exports to China.​
The recent headlines surrounding rare earth supply chains has also sparked significant discussion across various social media platforms.&nbsp;On X, MP Materials&#8217; official account shared the press release, garnering attention from industry analysts and investors.&nbsp;Additionally, the news has been widely shared and discussed on Stocktwits, LinkedIn and Reddit, with users debating the implications for the U.S. rare earth supply chain and the broader geopolitical landscape.
MP Materials is scheduled to release its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">first-quarter 2025 financial results</a> on May 8, which will provide further insight into the company&#8217;s performance amid these strategic shifts. Analysts currently expect the company to report a loss of 11 cents per share on revenue of $68.68 million, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
MP Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/mp">MP Materials shares</a> were down 12.1% at $23.17 at the time of publication Monday, per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Shares of Rivian Automotive Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>) plunged 6.1% to $10.90 during Monday&#8217;s session as rising political and economic uncertainty sparked a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44904179/wall-street-sinks-dollar-slides-as-trump-ramps-up-fed-attacks-whats-driving-markets-monday">broad selloff</a> in risk assets.
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/electric-vehicle">electric vehicle (EV)</a> maker, already grappling with a high cash burn and a competitive EV landscape, is particularly exposed to the Federal Reserve's policy indecision and evolving trade dynamics.
What To Know: Fed Chair Jerome Powell's recent remarks flagged a slowdown in economic growth and warned that new tariffs could trigger persistent inflation—just as Rivian faces higher input costs and slowing consumer demand. Powell also signaled no immediate rate cuts, undermining hopes for cheaper capital in a capital-intensive sector like EV manufacturing.
Compounding matters, President Donald Trump's vocal attacks on Powell and hints at possible dismissal have rattled investor confidence in U.S. monetary stability. 
Rivian, reliant on future borrowing and investment sentiment, is especially vulnerable to spikes in interest rates and dollar volatility.
With <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44904179/wall-street-sinks-dollar-slides-as-trump-ramps-up-fed-attacks-whats-driving-markets-monday">foreign investors</a> showing signs of retreat and long-term bond yields rising, Rivian's growth prospects appear increasingly fragile—fueling today's sharp selloff and renewed concerns over its long-term viability in an unsettled economic climate.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy RIVN Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Rivian Automotive&#8217;s case, it is in the Consumer Discretionary sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, RIVN has a 52-week high of $18.86 and a 52-week low of $8.32.

<h3>About Taiwan Semiconductor</h3>
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. is the world's largest dedicated chip foundry, with mid-60s market share in 2024. TSMC was founded in 1987 as a joint venture of Philips, the government of Taiwan, and private investors. It went public in Taiwan in 1994 and as an ADR in the US in 1997. TSMC's scale and high-quality technology allow the firm to generate solid operating margins, even in the highly competitive foundry business. Furthermore, the shift to the fabless business model has created tailwinds for TSMC. The foundry leader has an illustrious customer base, including Apple, AMD, and Nvidia, that looks to apply cutting-edge process technologies to its semiconductor designs. TSMC employs more than 73,000 people.
