In a move indicating a possible easing of trade tensions, China has reportedly started to exempt some U.S. imports from high tariffs and is proactively seeking feedback from companies on other key items they want excluded from them.
What Happened: Companies in China say that they have been approached by officials to identify U.S. goods that are essential and difficult to replace, reported Reuters.
Some pharmaceutical imports and aerospace parts like engines and landing gear have reportedly already been excluded from the 125% tariffs. American Chamber of Commerce in China President Michael Hart confirmed that multiple member firms, especially in pharma, have not had to pay tariffs.

Why It Matters: The exemptions are being made as both Beijing and Washington demonstrate <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44942449/trump-pledges-substantial-cut-in-china-tariffs-but-refuses-to-make-it-zero-if-they-dont-make-a-deal-we-will-set-the-deal">noticeable signs of de-escalation</a> in a trade war that has upset markets and stressed global supply chains. "As a quid-pro-quo move, it could provide a potential way to de-escalate tensions," said Alfredo Montufar-Helu of the Conference Board's China Center.
However, he said that neither side seems keen to make the first formal move to make a deal. China&#8217;s Ministry of Commerce <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44973283/china-denies-trumps-trade-talk-assertion-calls-for-abolition-of-unilateral-tariffs-no-factual-basis">denied rumors</a> of trade discussions with the U.S. on Thursday. 
While China's leadership has not made any official statement about the exemptions, the move seems to be targeted at shielding domestic industries from even more pressure. With major sectors still reliant on American inputs— ranging from ethane to specialty drugs—the exemptions may be just the beginning. "For irreplaceable goods, there's clear interest in unilateral exemptions," Montufar-Helu observed.

Fartcoin&#8216;s impressive price surge has become one of the most discussed topics in the cryptocurrency world, as many are still adjusting to its unconventional branding and strong performance despite macroeconomic challenges.
What happened: The Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>)-based memecoin has surged by 77.61% over the past month, making it the second-best-performing cryptocurrency during this time. It has also gained over $450 million in market capitalization, now ranking as the sixth-largest memecoin.
These gains have come at a time when trade tensions dominated headlines. Fartcoin withstood President Donald Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44893608/trumps-tariffs-add-financial-strain-for-new-parents-amid-rising-baby-gear-costs">sweeping tariff measures</a> against key partners, which sent stock and cryptocurrency heavyweights like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) plunging.

FARTCOIN topped out at $2.61 in January and then crashed by over 90% over the next two months before beginning a bullish rebound. Its year-to-date gains stood at 18%.
On the other hand, cryptocurrency derivatives of gold have netted higher returns.&nbsp;
Tether Gold and PAX Gold, both backed by physical gold, were among the safest cryptocurrency bets this year, yielding over 26%.
Their rise has followed the increasing demand for gold as a haven, as spot gold itself has risen 25.77% year-to-date.

The S&amp;P 500 Index tracked by SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) could plunge as low as 3,700 points even in a &#8220;mild recession&#8221; scenario, representing a potential 37% decline from its January levels, according to Wolfe Research.
What Happened: Chris Senyek, the firm&#8217;s Chief Investment Strategist, warns that the index could fall between 3,700 and 4,100 amid economic contraction, as <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/24/sp-500-could-tumble-to-3700-in-a-mild-recession-says-wolfe-research.html">reported</a> by CNBC, reflecting heightened concerns over trade policy uncertainty.
&#8220;If uncertainty caused by tariff policy were to push the U.S. economy into recession in 2025, we&#8217;d expect SPX EPS to fall at least 15% from current levels,&#8221; Senyek wrote Thursday. This would align with the median 16.7% earnings decline observed across the past four recessions.
The strategist projects S&amp;P 500 earnings per share could drop to approximately $225 from the currently estimated $266, coinciding with about 1% negative real year-over-year Gross Domestic Product growth.
Why It Matters: The index has struggled since President Donald Trump&#8216;s April 2 tariff announcement, which triggered significant market volatility. After briefly entering bear market territory earlier this month, the S&amp;P 500 remains 11% below February&#8217;s all-time high and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44988781/wall-street-rally-extends-into-third-day-whats-driving-markets-thursday">down more than 6.50% year-to-date</a>.
Senyek expects price-to-earnings ratios would compress from the current 19.4x to historical averages between 16.6x and 18.4x in a recessionary environment, contributing to the projected market decline.
U.S. markets have recently staged a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44988781/wall-street-rally-extends-into-third-day-whats-driving-markets-thursday">three-day rally amid cooling trade tensions</a> and positive earnings surprises, though prominent investors like Cathie Wood have warned that tariffs represent &#8220;tax increases&#8221; that could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45000154/cathie-wood-warns-trumps-tariffs-are-tax-increases-that-hurt-growth-but-says-innovation-will-thrive-in-the-turmoil">hamper economic growth</a>.

The restaurant company wants to keep expanding its network of spicy Chongqing noodle shops, but price cuts may be eating into profits
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Key Takeaways:</h4>
<ul>
<li>The noodle chain more than doubled its revenue from 418 million yuan in 2022 to 1.15 billion yuan last year</li>
<li>But the operator's same-store sales slipped from 740 million yuan in 2023 to 709 million yuan last year</li>
</ul>
Noodle dishes from Chongqing, famous for their spicy flavors in a fiery soup, are about to go on the menu for equity investors.
A fast-growing noodle shop chain that specializes in hot signature dishes from southwest China has filed to&nbsp;<a href="https://www1.hkexnews.hk/app/sehk/2025/107294/documents/sehk25041500046.pdf">list</a>&nbsp;its shares on the Hong Kong stock market, aiming to fund an expansion across more parts of the mainland and into overseas markets.
Guangzhou Xiao Noodles Catering Management Co. Ltd.&nbsp;started out as a local food outlet serving up bowls of noodles spiced with chili oil and Sichuan seasonings. It is now aiming to become the first chain of Chinese-style noodle shops to trade as a public company on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
The company bases its brand name on the Chongqing dish popularly known as "xiao mian", or little noodles. The dining chain ranked as China's biggest operator of Sichuan-Chongqing noodle restaurants by sales value last year and placed fourth in the general category of noodle shops, according to Frost &amp; Sullivan data cited in the IPO application.
The company also claimed the top spot for offline sales of Chongqing noodles, noodles with peas and meat sauce and hot and sour sweet potato noodles for three consecutive years from 2022, according to the research report.
Although it owes its success to Chongqing's tasty cuisine, the firm originated far away in Guangzhou, a southern city associated with milder flavors. Founder Song Qi was born in Heilongjiang province in northeastern China but left his hometown to study science in Guangzhou before obtaining a master's degree from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Later he became a trainee manager at a Hong Kong branch of the fast food chain McDonald's.
Song once revealed in a media interview that from his very first McDonald's meal he dreamed about one day starting his own brand and even challenging the supremacy of the U.S. burger giant.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Food science</h4>
He opened the first Xiao Noodles restaurant in 2014 with two other graduates from Guangzhou's South China University.
A scientific mindset turned out to be an asset, helping the business to resolve a standardization challenge that had plagued chains selling Chinese-style noodles. Song studied the traditional craft of noodle making in Chongqing but was troubled by some of the approximate amounts and imprecise instructions. Instead, he set about quantifying ingredients and documenting steps in order to preserve the original taste while producing noodle dishes at scale.
Just three months after the first outlet opened, the business got an infusion of 2 million yuan ($274,132) in angel capital to fund upgraded operations. &nbsp;Meanwhile, the company set out to instill an appetite for its noodle dishes across the nation and around the clock, for breakfast, lunch or as a late-night snack, with some restaurants staying open 24 hours a day.
It built a presence in airports, railway stations, residential areas, shopping malls, college campuses and offices to cater to a range of diners.
By 2021, the company was valued at nearly 3 billion yuan after investments from&nbsp;Jiumaojiu&nbsp;(9922.HK), Best Food Holding under Lenovo's Hony Capital, Country Garden and the dumpling chain XiJiaDe.
Even with its ample resources, the company did not reach the milestone of 100 stores until its seventh year of business. The brand branched out into a franchise model in 2019, adding another 100 stores in just two years between 2021 and 2023. By April this year, the chain comprised 374 restaurants across 22 cities on the Chinese mainland and six outlets in Hong Kong.
Revenue soared on the back of the rapid growth, going from 418 million yuan in 2022 to 1.15 billion yuan last year with a compound annual growth rate of around 66%, outpacing other Chinese-style noodle businesses in the past three years. It went from posting a loss of 35.97 million yuan in 2022 to reporting a 45.91 million yuan profit a year later, rising to 60.70 million yuan in 2024.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Price trade-off</h4>
At the end of last year, the chain was operating 360 outlets, 80% of them in first-tier cities. Breaking that down by business model, 279 were owned by the company and 81 were franchises. The shops owned by the chain remained the main revenue driver, accounting for 86.7% of turnover in 2024.
While earnings and profits have been growing, the risk of expanding too quickly remains real, amid an uncertain outlook for the Chinese economy and fragile consumer confidence. The company's accounts were in the black for the past two years but profit per store dropped from 182,000 yuan to 169,000 yuan. Xiao Noodles earned 60.70 million yuan in profit last year on 42.09 million orders, equivalent to just 1.4 yuan per order.
Same-store sales also dropped from 740 million yuan in 2023 to 709 million yuan last year, falling 4.2% nationwide and 5.14% in first-tier cities.
Other metrics are also flashing danger signs. Average spending per order dropped from 36.1 yuan in 2022 to 32 yuan in 2024 after the company cut its prices to lure in more customers.
Rapid expansion has strained the corporate finances, with net current liabilities surging from 148 million yuan in 2022 to 242 million yuan, and just 42.19 million yuan of cash left on hand.
In response, Xiao Noodles has decided to expand its reach, venturing into lower-tier Chinese cities and targeting international markets such as Singapore, as well as scaling up its franchise network. As it prepares to face the scrutiny of Hong Kong investors, the company has changed its advertising slogan from "sharing the delight of Xiao Noodles outside Chongqing" to "sharing the delight of Chongqing noodles across the globe".
The staple bowl of steaming noodles is a cutthroat business in China, with stiff competition from the likes of Hefu Noodles, Wuyebanmian and Mr. Lee California Beef Noodle.
To succeed in its expansion strategy, Xiao Noodles will need to keep satisfying a widening base of customers with its selection of spicy dishes.

Other offers include 0% APR financing on new Model 3 orders. There's also a $2,000 discount on the purchase price of the new Model Y available to owners of the original Model Y.
Why It Matters: The discounts come at a time when Tesla is experiencing a decline in sales in the U.S. A recent report released by the California New Car Dealers Association (CNCDA) showcases a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44857987/tesla-experiences-151-decline-in-new-vehicle-registrations-in-california-report">15% decline in new registrations </a>for Tesla vehicles in the state.
The company has also experienced a 71% plunge in YoY profits in Q1 2025, and a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44975755/tesla-sales-decline-28-in-europe-as-ev-car-market-experiences-growth-report">28% decline in European sales</a>, even as the EV market share grew in the region.
Tesla recently released a cheaper trim of the Cybertruck, with fewer features and a more accessible price point. Interestingly, Elon Musk's company also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44919745/cybertruck-gets-a-down-to-earth-redesign-as-tesla-shifts-to-traditional-pickup-marketing-amid-poor-sales">pivoted its marketing strategy </a>for the Cybertruck, in a bid to enhance its appeal among traditional pickup truck buyers.
It's worth noting that Tesla announced at the Tuesday evening earnings call that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44942792/tesla-q1-earnings-call-company-says-more-affordable-models-launching-this-year">more affordable models </a>are on their way, and they will be based on the current Tesla line-up.
