Peter Schiff didn't mince words after President Donald Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46650830/donald-trump-announces-15-tariff-trade-agreement-with-eu-ending-months-of-trade-uncertainty">new trade agreement</a> with the European Union. 
The deal is at odds with Trump&#8217;s &#8220;America First&#8221; narrative, the economist and gold advocate argued on social media. That&#8217;s because industrial America will pay the price—literally.
What Happened: In a fiery post on X, Schiff wrote: "We will pay 15% tariffs to buy most European goods, but 50% tariffs to buy European steel, aluminum, or copper…"
His verdict? "Americans lose again."

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Trump has a trade deal with the EU, where Americans lose again. We will pay 15% tariffs to buy most European goods, but 50% tariffs to buy European steel, aluminum, or copper, driving up material costs for many U.S industries. Europeans won&#39;t pay any tariffs on most U.S. imports.
&mdash; Peter Schiff (@PeterSchiff) <a href="https://twitter.com/PeterSchiff/status/1949590339322605685?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 27, 2025</a></blockquote>

Schiff is often critical of Trump&#8217;s policies. His latest post echoes his sentiments from April, on the heels of Trump&#8217;s so-called &#8220;Liberation Day.&#8221; 
&#8220;By putting America first, Trump has put America last when it comes to investment returns,&#8221; Schiff <a href="https://x.com/PeterSchiff/status/1911045936467386686">said</a> on X. &#8220;America&#8217;s consumer-driven economy will fall apart.&#8221;
Why It Matters: Schiff warned that the sharply higher tariffs on essential metals will raise costs for American manufacturers across sectors—from construction and cars to defense and energy. 
With European steel, aluminum, and copper now slapped with a 50% tariff, U.S. industries dependent on those imports could see thinner margins and less competitive pricing globally.

Observers also argue that tariffs could deliver gains for certain U.S. metal producers. Domestic buyers may pivot away from now-costlier European suppliers, thus boosting the stocks of Alcoa Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AA#NYSE">AA</a>), Nucor Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>), and Freeport-McMoRan Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCX#NYSE">FCX</a>).
If material costs rise broadly, American miners and smelters could command better prices and improved volumes.
Still, Schiff remains skeptical. While certain U.S. stocks may catch a tailwind, the economist insists the macro impact could be inflationary and productivity-draining.
According to Schiff, Trump's EU deal trades campaign optics for long-term economic pain—and investors would be wise to read between the tariffs.

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

U.S. stock futures rose on Monday after ending higher on Friday. Futures of major benchmark indices were higher.
President Donald Trump announced a 15% tariff <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46650830/donald-trump-announces-15-tariff-trade-agreement-with-eu-ending-months-of-trade-uncertainty">trade deal with the European Union</a> (EU) on Sunday, putting an end to several months of trade uncertainty with the U.S.'s biggest trade partner. 
The tariff rate is a significant drop from the 30% Trump threatened on July 12 and the 20% he proposed on April 2. Trump stated that the EU will not impose a tariff on U.S. imports, describing the deal as "satisfactory to both sides."
Investors will assess a slew of macro and micro indicators this week, as the Federal Reserve&#8217;s interest rate decision, along with the second-quarter GDP data, will be released on Wednesday.
Additionally, earnings from companies including Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), and Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) are expected this week.
Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.37% and the two-year bond was at 3.91%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 96.99% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its July meeting.

Cues From Last Session:
On Friday, industrials, materials, and consumer discretionary stocks led the gains among S&amp;P 500 sectors, while energy and communication services stocks ended the session lower, bucking the overall positive trend.
U.S. stocks settled higher, with the S&amp;P 500 marking its 14th record close this year, fueled by optimism over corporate earnings and global trade talk progress, which bolstered risk assets.
All three major indices saw weekly gains, with the 30-stock Dow rising approximately 1.3%, the broad S&amp;P 500 climbing about 1.5%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq adding 1%.
Phillips 66 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSX#NYSE">PSX</a>) reported better-than-expected second-quarter financial results. Conversely, Carter&#8217;s Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRI#NYSE">CRI</a>) shares dropped around 20% after the company missed second-quarter adjusted EPS estimates, suspended its fiscal 2025 guidance, and cited tariff impacts.
On the economic data front, U.S. durable goods orders fell 9.3% month-over-month to $311.84 billion in June, following a revised 16.5% gain in May.
The Dow Jones index ended 208 points or 0.47% higher at 44,901.92, whereas the S&amp;P 500 index rose 0.40% to 6,388.64. Nasdaq Composite advanced 0.24% to 21,108.32, and the small-cap gauge, Russell 2000, gained 0.40% to end at 2,261.07.

According to Ed Yardeni of Yardeni Research, &#8220;Naturally, the main event will be the Federal Open Market Committee's widely expected decision (Wed) to leave the federal funds rate unchanged. We are among those expecting no change.&#8221;
However, he expects that Fed Chair Jerome Powell&#8216;s press conference (Wed) will be relatively dovish, raising the odds of a September rate cut. &#8220;Nevertheless, we remain in the none-and-done camp in 2025 for now,&#8221; Yardeni added.
However, senior economist Mohamed El Erian noted that Trump&#8217;s Fed visit last week underscored &#8220;differing interpretations.&#8221;
According to him, some viewed it as a &#8220;truce,&#8221; citing the President&#8217;s pledge not to fire Chair Powell and his expectation that the Chair would &#8220;do the right thing&#8221; by cutting interest rates.
Whereas others saw the visit as an escalation, aligning with Steve Bannon&#8217;s &#8220;flood the zone&#8221; strategy. &#8220;They point to the awkward televised exchange between the President and Chair Powell regarding the renovation&#8217;s cost as evidence of continued and clear friction,&#8221; he added.
&#8220;This week promises to be an exceptionally busy one, packed with notable policy decisions, major economic data releases, and systemically important corporate earnings – all set against the backdrop of seasonally thinner market liquidity,&#8221; Erian added.
Meanwhile, Jamie Cox, the managing partner for Harris Financial Group spoke about the U.S. deal with EU.
&#8220;When Japan broke down and made a deal the EU had little choice. The biggest piece in the trade deal puzzle still remains, and the Chinese are unlikely to be as willing to fold. The next big durable theme in markets is security, and the EU deal only accelerates it,&#8221; he said.

Earnings Scheduled For July 28, 2025

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed a decline in the overall market sentiment, while the index remained in the &#8220;Greed&#8221; zone on Friday.
U.S. stocks settled higher on Friday, with the S&amp;P 500 notching its 14th record close of the year as optimism over corporate earnings and progress on global trade talks provided support for risk assets.
All three major indices closed the week higher, with the 30-stock Dow gaining around 1.3% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq adding 1%. The broad market S&amp;P 500 climbed around 1.5% last week.
Phillips 66 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSX#NYSE">PSX</a>) reported better-than-expected second-quarter financial results. Carter's, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRI#NYSE">CRI</a>) shares fell around 20% on Friday after the company reported a second-quarter adjusted EPS miss. Additionally, the company suspended its fiscal 2025 guidance and cited tariff impacts on future earnings.
On the economic data front, U.S. durable goods orders fell&nbsp;9.3%&nbsp;month-over-month to&nbsp;$311.84 billion&nbsp;in June, following a revised&nbsp;16.5%&nbsp;gain in May.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a positive note, with industrials, materials and consumer discretionary stocks recording the biggest gains on Friday. However, energy and communication services stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session lower.
The Dow Jones closed higher by 208 points to 44,901.92 on Friday. The S&amp;P 500 gained 0.40% to 6,388.64, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.24% to 21,108.32 during Friday's session.
Investors are awaiting earnings results from Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EPD#NYSE">EPD</a>), Nucor Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>) and Whirlpool Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WHR#NYSE">WHR</a>) today.
What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
At a current reading of 73.9, the index remained in the &#8220;Greed&#8221; zone on Friday, versus a prior reading of 74.4.
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

Exploring Nucor's Earnings Expectations

Nucor Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>) will release earnings results for the second quarter after the closing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NUE/earnings">bell on Monday, July 28.</a>
Analysts expect the Charlotte, North Carolina-based company to report quarterly earnings of $2.70 per share, compared to $2.68 per share in the same period last year. Nucor projects to report quarterly revenue of $8.48 billion. Compare that to the $8.08 billion in the same quarter a year earlier, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
With the recent buzz around Nucor, some investors may be eyeing potential gains from the company's dividends. Currently, Nucor offers an annual dividend yield of 1.56%, which is a semi-annual dividend amount of 54 cents per share ($2.20 a year).  So, how can investors capitalize on its dividend yield to earn a regular $500 monthly?
To earn $500 per month or $6,000 annually from dividends alone, you would need an investment of approximately $385,680 or around 2,727 shares. For a more modest $100 per month or $1,200 per year, you would need $77,079 or around 545 shares.
To calculate: Divide the desired annual income ($6,000 or $1,200) by the dividend ($2.20 in this case). So, $6,000 / $2.20 = 2,727 ($500 per month), and $1,200 / $2.20 = 545 shares ($100 per month).
Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.
How that works: The dividend yield is computed by dividing the annual dividend payment by the stock&#8217;s current price.
For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and is currently priced at $50, the dividend yield would be 4% ($2/$50). However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield drops to 3.33% ($2/$60). Conversely, if the stock price falls to $40, the dividend yield rises to 5% ($2/$40).
Similarly, changes in the dividend payment can impact the yield. If a company increases its dividend, the yield will also increase, provided the stock price stays the same. Conversely, if the dividend payment decreases, so will the yield.
NUE Price Action: Shares of Nucor fell 2.5% to close at $141.43 on Thursday.
On July 14, JPMorgan analyst Bill Peterson maintained Nucor with an Overweight rating and raised the price target from $143 to $162.

How To Earn $500 A Month From Nucor Stock Ahead Of Q2 Earnings

As we reach the midpoint of the year, recession fears are slowly abating. In May, <a href="https://www.jpmorgan.com/insights/global-research/economy/recession-probability">J.P.Morgan</a> lowered the probability of a recession occurring in 2025 from 60% to 40%. However, it still warned that a period of subpar growth could lie ahead, especially if tariffs remain high.&nbsp;
While the news has calmed some of the fear surrounding the economy, it hasn't eliminated all of it. A <a href="https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/news/layoff-anxiety">survey</a> conducted by Indeed and Harris Poll in June found that 46% of Americans are concerned about layoffs within the next year.
If you count yourself among that number, we have some good news. <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/12/10-strongest-us-economies-recession-top-states-for-business-rankings.html">CNBC</a> has identified the 10 states with economies that are least likely to be affected by a recession.

<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart &amp; Target – Many are rushing to grab <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for just $0.30/share</a></li>

</ul>
To score each state's economy, the outlet considered factors like state gross domestic product growth, job growth, state fiscal health, housing market health, among others. Additionally, CNBC looked at how dependent each state is on the federal government for jobs and funding, and how greatly it could be impacted by a potential trade war.
These ten states, it says, "have what it takes to navigate a recession."
At No. 10 is South Carolina. The state is fairly vulnerable to increased tariffs, thanks to the fact that international goods trade made up around one-third of its economy in 2024, but it also has one of the fastest-growing economies in the union, as well as significant job growth.
Georgia's diverse economy puts it at No. 9, and Utah, which led the nation in gross domestic product growth in 2024, comes in at number eight.

Idaho, which is fairly insulated from the trade war but heavily dependent on the federal government for jobs and funding, is number seven on CNBC's list. Washington state, New York and Delaware take up the sixth, fifth and fourth spots, respectively.
At No. 3 is North Carolina, which is also CNBC's top state for business overall in 2025. Despite some setbacks from Hurricane Helene, the state is affordable, sheltered from federal job and budget cuts, and home to three major companies— Bank of America (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), Duke Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DUK#NYSE">DUK</a>), and Nucor (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>)— that provide a large number of jobs.
Texas has the second-most recession-proof economy in the US, CNBC reports. The sheer size of its economy helps offset concerns about its reliance on the federal government for jobs and international trade.&nbsp;
The most stable economy in the nation, according to CNBC's estimation, is Florida. Topping the list for the third year in a row, Florida benefits from strong finances, healthy economic and job growth, and a wealth of new business formations. However, the state does rely on the federal government for 34% of its budget, which has experts cautioning against complete trust in the Sunshine State.&nbsp;

Worried About A Recession? These 10 States Have The Strongest, Most Recession-Proof Economies

In the current market session, Nucor Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>) share price is at $140.63, after a 0.09% drop. Over the past month, the stock went up by 13.14%, but over the past year, it actually decreased by 13.90%. With good short-term performance like this, and questionable long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1752876016_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Nucor P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 30.31 in the Metals &amp; Mining industry, Nucor Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 24.82. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1752876016_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

A Look Into Nucor Inc's Price Over Earnings

AI isn&#8217;t just consuming the world; it&#8217;s poised to devour the power grid. Big tech companies such as Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Palantir (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46471676/meta-palantir-amazon-ai-datacenter-growth">going all-in on artificial intelligence</a>, fueling a historic development of data center infrastructure. For ETF investors, that implies it&#8217;s time to move beyond Nvidia and begin focusing on the literal power behind the machine.
Goldman Sachs projects that global data center electricity demand will increase by 165% by 2030, making them among the world&#8217;s top 10 consumers of electricity. With capex cycles of $100 billion-plus underway, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">power generation-related ETFs</a>, infrastructure ETFs, and digital real estate ETFs are in play.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Power &amp; Utilities</h2>
With U.S. data-center electricity consumption set to surge, utility ETFs may enjoy long-term tailwinds.
Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLU#NYSE">XLU</a>) – owns large, regulated utilities such as NextEra (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEE#NYSE">NEE</a>) and Duke Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DUK#NYSE">DUK</a>), which may benefit from AI-fueled load growth.
First Trust Nasdaq Clean Edge Smart Grid Infrastructure ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GRID#NASDAQ">GRID</a>) – provides exposure to the firms upgrading the electrical grid, from smart meters to transmission technology. Johnson Controls International Plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JCI#NYSE">JCI</a>), Eaton Corporation Plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETN#NYSE">ETN</a>) and ABB Ltd (OTCPK: ABBNY) hold the largest chunks of the fund&#8217;s holdings.
Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>) – becomes more relevant since Goldman projects 25–30% of new generation will be provided by solar.
These funds provide investors with a diversified holding in the enormous re-wiring that AI will require.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Infrastructure &amp; Industrials</h2>
Behind each <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">AI cluster</a> lies a concrete-intensive reality: HVACs, substations, turbines, and a substantial amount of steel. Infrastructure-based ETFs provide a straight shot at the buildout:
Global X U.S. Infrastructure Development ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PAVE#BATS">PAVE</a>) – has holdings such as Eaton and Nucor (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>), all related to power systems and data construction.
iShares U.S. Industrials ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IYJ#BATS">IYJ</a>) – has holdings in Caterpillar (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAT#NYSE">CAT</a>), Eaton, and Emerson Electric (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EMR#NYSE">EMR</a>), essential providers of backup power and cooling systems.
Meta alone intends to construct two multi-gigawatt clusters of AI, pointing to a multi-year infrastructure-driven growth.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Digital Infrastructure &amp; REITs</h2>
As demand for data centers goes parabolic, real estate investment trusts (REITs) and digital infrastructure players are observing that narrowing supply-demand dynamics are propelling margins:
Real Estate Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLRE#NYSE">XLRE</a>) – more general exposure to REITs, with substantial stakes in digital infra. This ETF offers a long-term perspective on the physical and digital infrastructure supporting AI growth.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Quick Background: Why Now?</h2>
Goldman Sachs estimates that global data center demand will reach 92 GW by 2027, a 50% increase from late 2025, largely due to AI. Meta&#8217;s future Prometheus (1 GW) and Hyperion (5 GW) clusters indicate the size of things to come. Amazon and Palantir are also spending significant amounts on compute infrastructure.
Meanwhile, firms such as Caterpillar and Cummins (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMI#NYSE">CMI</a>) are experiencing billions of dollars&#8217; worth of new orders for data center-related generators, and Jabil (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBL#NYSE">JBL</a>) has just increased its AI-related revenue estimate by $1 billion.
The AI revolution is being built from the ground up. From server racks to solar panels, the buildout of the data center is producing new champions across industries. And the wisest way to gain diversified exposure may very well be through ETFs that are quietly driving the next wave of AI.

Nucor Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>) shares are trading higher Wednesday after the company issued earnings guidance for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/n45992383/nucor-announces-guidance-for-the-second-quarter-of-2025-earnings">second quarter of 2025</a>.
What To Know: The steelmaker said on Wednesday that it expects earnings to come in between $2.55 and $2.65 per share for the quarter ending July 5. That forecast is up sharply from the 67 cents per share it reported in the first quarter of 2025 and just below earnings of $2.68 per share reported in the same quarter last year.
The expected increase in earnings spans all three of Nucor's business segments. The biggest gains are projected in the steel mills segment, where average selling prices are up at sheet and plate mills. Steel products are expected to improve on higher volumes and lower costs, and raw materials earnings are also expected to rise.
Nucor noted that it has repurchased about 1.8 million shares during the second quarter at an average price of $111.89. The company said it has now returned approximately $755 million to shareholders through buybacks and dividends so far in 2025.
Nucor plans to release its full second-quarter results after the market closes on July 28, which will be accompanied by a conference call the next morning.
