Walgreens, RPM International And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Tuesday

Last week, Nintendo Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTDOY#OTC">NTDOY</a>) announced that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/25/04/44609298/nintendo-switch-2-price-release-date-specs-new-games-revealed">preorders for the highly anticipated</a> Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S. will be delayed due to concerns over the potential impact of President Donald Trump&#8217;s new tariffs, although the June 5 launch date remains unchanged.
What Happened: In an <a href="https://www.npr.org/2025/04/07/nx-s1-5349650/trump-tariffs-nintendo-switch-2-doug-bowser">interview</a> with NPR, Doug Bowser, President of Nintendo of America, explained the situation during a discussion on the delay.
&#8220;We&#8217;re just going to have to actively assess what that impact may be. Things may change in the days ahead. So we&#8217;re just watching and trying to understand what that impact might be and what actions we might have to take,&#8221; Bowser stated.

Although the Nintendo Switch 2 is priced at $449 for the base model and $499 for the hardware SKU with Mario Kart World included, Bowser admitted that there are still uncertainties about whether the new tariffs would force them to increase the final price of the device in the U.S. market.
The uncertainty arises from the additional <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44660089/japans-nikkei-futures-halted-hang-seng-crashes-8-8-as-global-market-rout-accelerates-on-tariff-shock-analyst-says-trumps-iphone-only-real-circuit-breaker">tariffs imposed on Japanese exports</a>, including a 24% tariff on goods, which could push up the cost of manufacturing and shipping to the U.S.
Nintendo also addressed the ongoing concerns regarding supply and demand. Bowser mentioned that the company has been working closely with retailers to ensure that the <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44212558/nintendos-mar10-day-bash-includes-a-349-switch-bundle-trip-to-super-nintendo-world-and-alarm-clocks-that-talk-back-heres-what-you-need-to-know">demand for the Switch 2</a> is met on launch day, with particular emphasis on preventing issues related to scalping bots.
Subscribe to the&nbsp;<a href="https://bztechtrends.beehiiv.com/subscribe" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter</a>&nbsp;to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
Why It Matters: The Switch 2 comes equipped with a 7.9-inch HDR-capable LCD display at 1080p resolution and supports gameplay at up to 120 frames per second. At launch, it offers 256GB of internal storage, and its updated dock enables 4K output when hooked up to a television.
Among the notable hardware upgrades are magnetically connected Joy-Cons, enhanced thumbsticks, and a revamped Pro Controller that now includes a dedicated C-button for in-game communication.
Nintendo is also introducing a new feature called GameShare, which lets players connect multiple Switch 2 systems for local or online shared gaming. Additionally, the battery life has been improved to roughly 8 hours—a welcome improvement over the original model.

Nintendo Pushes Back US Preorders For Switch 2 Amid Trump Tariffs, Launch Remains On Track For June: 'Things May Change In The Days Ahead'

Jim Cramer expressed skepticism about Monday&#8217;s market rebound, calling it &#8220;strange&#8221; following nine consecutive down days in futures trading.
What Happened: &#8220;We don&#8217;t want to see the futures up this much. So strange. We have come in down every night for 9 nights. Now the futures are up huge. Where are the sellers. Things aren&#8217;t &#8216;better&#8217; now unless we are at levels people, at last, like,&#8221; CNBC&#8217;s &#8216;Mad Money&#8221; host Cramer wrote on X on Monday.
Investors should note that despite Cramer&#8217;s weekend warnings of a potential &#8220;Black Monday&#8221; scenario reminiscent of the 1987 crash, U.S. markets managed to avoid a complete meltdown.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 349 points, or 0.91%, to close at 37,965 after falling more than 1,700 points earlier in the session. The S&amp;P 500 slipped 0.23% to finish at 5,062.25, recovering from a session low that saw a 4.7% decline.

Meanwhile, the Nasdaq Composite edged up 0.1% to 15,603 as investors scooped up shares of tech giants such as Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>).

However, the White House later told CNBC that reports of a tariff reprieve were &#8220;fake news,&#8221; causing indexes to pull back.

Why It Matters: Before Monday&#8217;s session, Cramer had drawn parallels to the 1987 crash, noting similar market patterns. &#8220;Same damned pattern; that thursday, that friday&#8230;.. that Monday?&#8221; he posted on X over the weekend, though he acknowledged that circuit breakers implemented since 1987 could &#8220;slow things down&#8221; <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44659901/jim-cramer-sees-same-pattern-as-1987-black-monday-crash-wonders-what-happens-on-monday">during any potential crash</a>.
The market volatility follows Trump&#8217;s recent announcement of sweeping reciprocal tariffs on numerous countries, which sparked the worst week for stocks since the COVID-19 pandemic and raised concerns about inflation, weakened demand, and recession risks.
By Monday evening, futures had rebounded sharply, signaling continued volatility in an uncertain trading environment. S&amp;P 500 Index Futures rose 1.34% to 5,165, Dow Jones Industrial Average Futures jumped 1.73% to 38,826, and Nasdaq-100 Futures gained 1.14% to 17,763, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Another Crypto Firm Set To Go Public: Galaxy Digital Foresees Nasdaq Listing Soon After SEC Approves Delaware Move

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is reportedly shifting more of its iPhone production to India to mitigate the financial impact of President Donald Trump's escalating tariffs on Chinese goods, potentially <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44655937/trump-tariffs-could-spike-iphone-prices-to-almost-2300-if-apple-decides-to-pass-on-the-costs-to-buyers">offsetting the projected 30% to 40% price</a> increase on its device.
What Happened: Apple plans to ship more iPhones from India to the U.S. to avoid the high costs caused by new tariffs on Chinese-made products, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/apple-iphone-production-china-tariffs-6cc37f40">reported</a> the Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter.
The move comes after Trump's new tariff package raised duties on Chinese imports to at least 54%, significantly affecting tech companies that rely on Chinese-made components.

The tariff on Chinese goods could increase Apple's hardware cost for an iPhone 16 Pro by around $300. The iPhone 16 Pro Max, currently $1,599, might reach nearly $2,300 with a 43% price hike.
Experts warn that this price hike could make the device less competitive in the U.S. market.
Bank of America analyst Wamsi Mohan notes that Apple was already on track to manufacture 25 million iPhones in India this year, with about 10 million intended for the local Indian market.
If Apple redirects these production units to the U.S., it could supply up to 50% of the American market's demand for the device.
Subscribe to the&nbsp;<a href="https://bztechtrends.beehiiv.com/subscribe" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter</a>&nbsp;to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
Why It Matters: The iPhone is Apple's flagship product, accounting for roughly half of the company's total revenue. In the first quarter, <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43355688/apple-q1-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-iphone-sales-slip-installed-base-climbs-to-all-time-high-our-best-quarter-ever">iPhone sales came in at $69.14 billion</a>, down from $69.7 billion in the same period last year.
Apple has been working to expand its manufacturing footprint in India for several years, starting with older models and gradually incorporating newer ones.
While India's tariffs are more favorable than China's, Apple's primary manufacturing base remains in China due to the country's robust supplier network and skilled labor force.
Although Apple has made efforts to diversify its supply chain, with additional production in India and other countries like Vietnam, Trump's new tariffs continue to challenge the company's ability to maintain competitive pricing.
Price Action: Apple's stock has dropped approximately 25.59% so far this year, closing at $181.46 on Monday, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Apple Reportedly Plans To Move More iPhone Production To India Amid Trump Tariff Fears: Could This Solve The Potential 40% Price Hike?

Tech giant Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) began the week with another decline on Monday, as concerns grow that U.S. President Donald Trump&#8217;s tariffs on several of its global manufacturing hubs could hit the Cupertino-based company hard.
What Happened: On Monday, Apple ended nearly 4% lower, and was among a few mega-cap tech stocks to have declined during the day. This also marks the company&#8217;s third consecutive day in the red, during which the stock has lost 20%, wiping out nearly $640 billion in market capitalization.
This comes amid growing concerns that the tariffs could hurt Apple&#8217;s sales, supply chain, and operations more than the other <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/25/04/44649868/magnificent-7s-3-trillion-club-is-vacant-as-apple-stock-stumbles">Mag 7 stocks</a>. Despite the company&#8217;s efforts in diversifying away from China, its new manufacturing hubs in India, Malaysia, and Indonesia also face sweeping new tariffs being imposed by the U.S. Government.
See More: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44677685/dr-doom-roubini-warns-markets-delusional-about-fed-rescue-as-trump-xi-jinping-jerome-powell-locked-in-high-stakes-standoff">&#8216;Dr. Doom&#8217; Roubini Warns Markets &#8216;Delusional&#8217; About Fed Rescue As Trump, Xi Jinping, Jerome Powell Locked In High-Stakes Standoff</a>
According to a study by UBS Group AG, Apple&#8217;s top-end iPhone model, which is currently priced at $1,199, could see prices rise 30%, or by $350, if the tariffs remain in their current form. The company could either reduce prices and hurt its margins, or keep prices intact and lose sales, it stands to lose either way.
Barclays PLC analyst Tim Long believes that if the company decides not to cut prices, its earnings per share could take at least a 15% haircut immediately. Long further adds that the company could rearrange its supply chain, such that its imports to the U.S. are routed through other countries where the tariffs are lower.
The <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44659926/dan-ives-cuts-tesla-target-to-315-slashes-apple-by-23-amid-tariff-fallout-warns-elon-musk-led-ev-maker-faces-darker-days-ahead">most prominent bearish take</a> on the stock comes from Daniel Ives of Wedbush Securities, who calls the &#8216;tariff economic armageddon&#8217; unleashed by Donald Trump and an &#8216;absolute disaster&#8217; for Apple, considering its massive exposure to China, both for production, as well as a market.
&#8216;No U.S. company is more negatively impacted by tariffs than Apple, &#8216; Ives adds while cutting the stock&#8217;s target from $325 a share to $250.
Why It Matters: Besides being a major production hub for the company, China is also Apple&#8217;s second biggest market after the United States. This means that it also stands to be hit by the retaliatory tariffs now being imposed by China on U.S. imports.
Analysts also believe that the company is unlikely to offer any guidance during its second-quarter results, in line with most other tech giants until the dust settles on the tariff front, and there is more clarity.

Apple Hits Worst Stretch In Years: $640 Billion In Market Capitalization Wiped Out In 3 Days

Renowned economist Nouriel Roubini, nicknamed &#8220;Dr. Doom&#8221; for his pessimistic but often accurate predictions, warned Monday that financial markets are mistaken about the Federal Reserve&#8217;s willingness to step in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44677506/china-resolutely-opposes-trumps-50-tariff-threat-vows-countermeasures-as-trade-tensions-jolt-markets">amid escalating trade tensions</a>.
What Happened: &#8220;Markets have been delusional that Powell put strike price is above Trump&#8217;s put strike price. It is NOT!&#8221; Roubini wrote on X, referring to the price level at which the Fed would intervene to stabilize markets.
The Turkish-born American economist described a &#8220;three-way game of chicken&#8221; between President Donald Trump, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, and Chinese President Xi Jinping, with each waiting for the others to concede first.
The comments come as markets grapple with Trump&#8217;s tariff threats against China, including a potential 50% duty if Beijing doesn&#8217;t withdraw its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44677506/china-resolutely-opposes-trumps-50-tariff-threat-vows-countermeasures-as-trade-tensions-jolt-markets">recent 34% tariff on American products</a> by Apr. 8. China&#8217;s Commerce Ministry has vowed to &#8220;fight to the end&#8221; against what it called &#8220;a mistake on top of a mistake.&#8221;

Powell acknowledged Friday that higher tariffs &#8220;will be working their way through our economy and are likely to raise inflation in coming quarters,&#8221; but emphasized the Fed&#8217;s focus remains on its dual mandate of <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/04/44661029/trump-and-fed-stand-firm-lack-of-a-put-could-drive-the-market-lower-very-quickly-warns-expert">maximum employment and stable prices</a>.

Roubini criticized Trump&#8217;s negotiating approach, writing that &#8220;superior chess and poker players like [Russian President Vladimir] Putin and Xi are already out manipulating Trump,&#8221; adding that unlike his first term, Trump 2.0 has &#8220;mostly a bunch of wimpish sycophantic yes men &#8216;advisors'&#8221; who won&#8217;t challenge his &#8220;worst destructive policy instincts on trade.&#8221;
BlackRock Inc.

'Dr. Doom' Roubini Warns Markets 'Delusional' About Fed Rescue As Trump, Xi Jinping, Jerome Powell Locked In High-Stakes Standoff

In another interesting twist in the Satoshi Nakamoto saga, cryptocurrency lawyer James Murphy sued the U.S. government in an attempt to determine the identity of the pseudonymous Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) creator.
What happened: Murphy, known as MetaLawMan on X, said he filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security, seeking details about an interview DHS supposedly had with Satoshi.
Murphy&#8217;s case relied on assertions made by DHS Special Agent Rana Saoud at a 2019 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAOrjlub4Qc">conference </a>where she stated that DHS officers were able to find and interview Satoshi Nakamoto in California. She added that Satoshi was not alone in creating Bitcoin and that there were "three other people."

"It is entirely possible that the DHS Agent was mistaken and DHS did not interview the real Satoshi," Murphy said. "If DHS resists disclosure, I will pursue the case to conclusion to solve this mystery."
The DHS didn't immediately return Benzinga's request for comment.

Crypto Attorney Sues US Government To Unmask Satoshi Nakamoto, Creator Of Bitcoin

Discount retailer Dollar Tree Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DLTR#NASDAQ">DLTR</a>) was riding high on Monday, ending the day up 7.8% following a surprise upgrade by Citi Research, which calls it one of the &#8216;silent beneficiaries&#8217; of the widespread trade tariffs imposed by the U.S. Government over the past week.
What Happened: In a somewhat surprising move, Citigroup analysts upgraded Dollar Tree to a &#8216;Buy&#8217; from their earlier &#8216;Neutral&#8217; stance. With a new price target of $103, which represents a 41% upside following its rally on Monday.
The move is surprising because, on the face of it, Dollar Tree seems one of the most exposed to the downsides of the tariffs. Especially, the mammoth 34% reciprocal rates imposed on China, from where it imports an estimated 40% of its merchandise, according to a recent analysis by KeyBanc Capital Markets.

The management itself <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42402629/trump-to-change-dollar-stores-for-good-dollar-tree-exec-says-prepared-to-act">commented late last year</a> that it would have to change product specs, pack sizes, and even phase out certain items if the tariffs were reimposed by the new administration.
However, Citi analysts led by Paul Lejuez believe that the higher tariff regime could provide the company with much-needed cover to increase its prices from the standard $1.25 to $1.50 or even $1.75, significantly boosting margins, and without any blowback since it comes at a time when everyone else will be raising prices.
Why It Matters: The Analysts further believe that the tariffs will hit the company&#8217;s rivals much harder, particularly the likes of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42780039/amazons-chinese-rivals-temu-and-shein-got-hit-hard-by-tariffs-in-this-country-is-it-a-sign-of-things-to-come-under-trump">Temu and Shein</a>, and a recession in the coming months should make Dollar Tree&#8217;s value credentials a lot more attractive among consumers. 
Besides this, the company&#8217;s decision to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/03/44505050/dollar-tree-sells-family-dollar-for-1-billion-truly-addition-by-subtraction-analyst-says">sell its Family Dollar segment for $1 billion</a> less than 2 weeks ago led to a broad bullish consensus among most analysts. The sale of the segment that was referred to by Evercore ISI analysts as &#8216;truly addition by subtraction.&#8217;
The average price consensus for the stock now stands at $82.85, with Citi at the high point of $103, which is rather impressive considering current market conditions.

According to Benzinga&#8217;s Edge Stock Rankings, Dollar Tree still features weak momentum and growth stats, scoring just 26 and 5, respectively. What about its competitor Dollar General?

Dollar Tree Surges Nearly 8% After Citi Upgrade: Analysts Say Tariffs Could Boost Margins, Not Hurt Them

China&#8217;s Commerce Ministry &#8220;resolutely opposes&#8221; U.S. President Donald Trump&#8216;s threat to impose additional 50% duties on Chinese imports and vowed to take countermeasures to protect its interests, intensifying trade tensions that have already <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44655719/trump-tariffs-erode-5-trillion-in-market-cap-in-2-days-as-china-retaliates-jerome-powell-warns-o">triggered market turmoil</a>.
What happened: The strong response came after Trump announced he would implement higher tariffs if Beijing doesn&#8217;t withdraw the 34% duty it placed on American products last week. Trump set an Apr. 8 deadline for China to reverse its position.
&#8220;The U.S. threat to escalate tariffs on China is a mistake on top of a mistake,&#8221; the Commerce Ministry said in a statement <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/08/china-resolutely-opposes-trumps-50percent-tariff-threat-vows-retaliation.html">translated</a> by CNBC. &#8220;China will never accept it. If the U.S. insists on its own way, China will fight to the end.&#8221;
The trade dispute has sparked volatility across global markets, with the S&amp;P 500 tracked by SPDR S&amp;P 500 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) falling 0.23% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average tracked by SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>) dropping 0.91% in Monday trading.

Why It Matters: BlackRock Inc. CEO Larry Fink rejected suggestions that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/04/44676213/trumps-tariffs-are-impacting-main-street-not-just-wall-street-blackrock-ceo-larry-fink-says">tariffs only impact Wall Street</a>, telling the Economic Club of New York that &#8220;62% of Americans now invest in equities — the market impact is impacting Main Street.&#8221; He warned the tariffs would &#8220;freeze more and more consumption&#8221; in the broader economy.
The dispute has particularly threatened technology sectors. Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives predicted U.S. tech <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42028788/ola-electric-shares-hit-new-all-time-low-again-whats-going-on">company earnings could decline by 15%</a> if the tariffs proceed as planned, with consumer electronics prices potentially rising 40-50%. &#8220;We assume tariff negotiations start now otherwise dark days are ahead for tech&#8230;and US consumers pay the price,&#8221; Ives wrote.
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has expressed concern over the &#8220;unexpected size&#8221; of Trump&#8217;s tariffs, warning they would likely drive higher inflation while slowing economic growth. JPMorgan has increased its recession <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44655719/trump-tariffs-erode-5-trillion-in-market-cap-in-2-days-as-china-retaliates-jerome-powell-warns-o">forecast to a 60% probability by year-end</a>.

China 'Resolutely Opposes' Trump's 50% Tariff Threat, Vows Countermeasures As Trade Tensions Jolt Markets: 'Will Fight To The End'

Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) has reportedly fired two employees who disrupted the tech giant's 50th-anniversary event on Friday after protesting the company's contracts with Israel and accusing its <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/04/44655911/microsoft-worker-disrupts-50th-anniversary-celebration-hurls-accusations-at-ai-ceo-mustafa-suleyman-while-calling-the-tech-giant-war-profiteer">AI CEO of war profiteering</a>.
What Happened: Ibtihal Aboussad and Vaniya Agrawal, both Microsoft employees, staged protests during the company's high-profile 50th-anniversary event in Redmond, Washington.
In an email sent to Aboussad, Microsoft condemned the disruption as &#8220;misconduct&#8221; and stated that Aboussad&#8217;s actions, including &#8220;finger-pointing&#8221; and shouting at Mustafa Suleyman, were inappropriate and aggressive enough to warrant being escorted out by security, <a href="https://www.theverge.com/news/644769/microsoft-fires-employee-protestor-war-profiteer">reported</a> The Verge.

The company described Aboussad&#8217;s actions as &#8220;designed to gain notoriety and cause maximum disruption&#8221; and noted that the protester had shown no remorse for the consequences of her actions. "You have shown no remorse for the effect that your actions have had and will have," the email read.
Aboussad was fired by Microsoft Canada, while Agrawal, who had already submitted her resignation, was let go shortly after the protest.&nbsp;

Microsoft previously responded to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comments, saying, &#8220;We provide many avenues for all voices to be heard. Importantly, we ask that this be done in a way that does not cause a business disruption. If that happens, we ask participants to relocate. We are committed to ensuring our business practices uphold the highest standards.&#8221;
Why It's Important: Aboussad interrupted a speech by Suleyman, calling him a &#8220;war profiteer&#8221; and demanding that Microsoft stop using AI for &#8220;genocide in our region.&#8221;
On the other hand, Agrawal disrupted the event later by confronting Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, former CEO Steve Ballmer, and current CEO Satya Nadella.
Both employees belong to &#8220;No Azure for Apartheid,&#8221; a group of Microsoft employees who have been rallying against the company's involvement with the Israeli government, the report noted.
Price Action: Microsoft (MSFT) shares slipped 0.55% on Monday. However, the stock rebounded in the after-hours session, gaining 0.74% to reach $360.50. Year-to-date, Microsoft&#8217;s stock has declined 14.51%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings gives MSFT a growth score of 64.65%. Curious how it stacks up against other stocks? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here for the full analysis</a>.

The global cryptocurrency market capitalization stood at $2.52 trillion, marking a&nbsp; 1.75% increase in the last 24 hours.
The stock slide continued on Monday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average tanked 349.26 points, or 0.91%, to end at 37,965.60. The S&amp;P 500 fell 0.23%, ending at 5,062.25. In a silver lining, the tech-focused Nasdaq Composite inched 0.1% higher to end the session at 15,603.26.
The market experienced wild volatility in the early hours as media reports of Trump mulling a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44671308/stock-market-surge-evaporates-as-headline-roulette-plagues-traders-fake-news-white-house-says-in-response-to-90-day-tariff-pause">90-day tariff freeze</a> sparked a brief rise. However, major averages fell again once the White House dismissed the reports as untrue.
Later in the day, Trump <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2lhWk0HaB4">reiterated </a>that the administration was "not looking" to pause tariffs despite the ongoing market rout.

Analyst Notes: Popular blockchain analytics firm CryptoQuant highlighted that most of Ethereum holders were in losses as the price has dipped below $2,200, the average cost basis.
"The next major support level is around $1,290, the average cost basis of whales holding over 100,000 Ethereum," CryptoQuant added.

Another well-known research firm, Santiment, projected an "immediate bullish explosion" in the cryptocurrency market should the tariff landscape change, resulting in reduced or eliminated tariffs between countries.

Bitcoin, Dogecoin Gain, Ethereum Dips As Trump Remains Defiant On Tariff Push: Analyst Anticipates 'Immediate Bullish Explosion' In Crypto If This Happens

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) board member Kimbal Musk criticized President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariff policies Monday, calling him &#8220;the most high tax American President in generations&#8221; through his implementation of what Musk described as a &#8220;structural, permanent tax on the American consumer.&#8221;
What Happened: In a series of posts on X, Musk, the brother of Tesla CEO Elon Musk, argued that tariffs create a cycle of economic harm: &#8220;A tax on consumption also means less consumption, which means less jobs. Which in turn leads to less consumption. And then even fewer jobs.&#8221;
When asked why other countries would care about U.S. tariffs if American consumers bear the cost, Kimbal Musk responded: &#8220;Other countries care because a tax reduces consumption of their goods. Reduced consumption does not create more jobs in America. The net outcome is less jobs on both sides of the borders, and higher prices in America.&#8221;

Elon Musk's Brother Kimbal Musk Calls Trump 'Most High Tax American President In Generations,' Warns Tariffs Are A 'Permanent Tax' On US Consumers

The idea that youth holds the key to innovation isn't new, but Instagram co-founder and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44522899/anthropic-ceo-says-ai-could-write-90-of-code-in-3-to-6-months-warns-every-industry-will-be-affected">Anthropic </a>Chief Product Officer Mike Krieger is making a case for why entrepreneurs in their 20s might have a unique edge.&nbsp;
While some industry veterans agree, others argue experience and grit—not age—are what separate game-changing founders from the rest. Krieger believes young entrepreneurs are in a sweet spot—old enough to execute ideas but still connected to the trends shaping younger audiences.&nbsp;

</ul>
&#8220;It's a very special time in your life,&#8221; he said in an interview on the<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tk-EI2yYT3A"> "EO" podcast</a>. &#8220;You're at the intersection of being a teenager, being really tuned into that, but also being able to create.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Does Youth Equal Innovation? Not Everyone Thinks So</h2>
This perspective has faced criticism, as some argue that experience plays a more significant role in entrepreneurial success than age.<a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/entrepreneurship/the-investor-betting-on-people-in-their-50s-and-60sbecause-older-is-better-f19fd19b">&nbsp;</a>
<a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/entrepreneurship/the-investor-betting-on-people-in-their-50s-and-60sbecause-older-is-better-f19fd19b">The Wall Street Journal</a> recently reported that investors increasingly recognize that older entrepreneurs have advantages such as industry connections, credibility, and deep expertise. This aligns with findings from an April 2018 study by the <a href="https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w24489/w24489.pdf">National Bureau of Economic Research</a> indicating that the average age of successful startup founders is around 45 years old.
The study analyzed 2.7 million startups and concluded that older entrepreneurs tend to build more resilient, scalable businesses. Still, Krieger's argument holds weight when considering consumer-driven industries.&nbsp;

Younger entrepreneurs, deeply embedded in digital culture, may be better positioned to identify trends before they peak—something Mark Zuckerberg proved when he launched Facebook at 19.
Historically, the debate isn't new. In the late 1990s, Steve Jobs famously criticized older executives, saying, &#8220;Innovation has nothing to do with how many years you've been around.&#8221; Yet, decades later, Amazon's Jeff Bezos built his empire in his 30s, and Warren Buffett didn't make the majority of his wealth until his 50s. The pattern? There isn't one.
Despite the age debate, one point most experts agree on is the value of relationships. Krieger recalled how interning at a startup solidified this for him. &#8220;It was full of people in their late 30s who had worked together three or four times since they were 20,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The relationships you build in your career will be the relationships you have over and over again.&#8221;

Silicon Valley is a prime example of this. PayPal's founding team, dubbed the &#8220;PayPal Mafia,&#8221; included Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and Reid Hoffman—who later built Tesla, Palantir, and LinkedIn, respectively. Their success wasn't just about youth or experience; it was about shared connections and learning from failures together.
Krieger also champions side projects, stating that they often fuel future success. &#8220;Not every step needs to make logical sense,&#8221; he emphasized, noting that seemingly unrelated experiences can later prove invaluable.&nbsp;
&#8220;There were definitely things I did where I thought, ‘Am I wasting my time here?' but later, they connected to the next thing I did.&#8221;&nbsp;
This aligns with how Slack started as a failed gaming company or how <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44590350/courtroom-clash-no-thank-you-sparks-lawsuit-as-altman-shuts-down-musks-97-4b-bid">X</a> emerged from a struggling podcasting platform. Unconventional paths often lead to groundbreaking ideas—whether you're 22 or 52.
