The&nbsp;Labor Department lifted restrictions that previously discouraged the inclusion of&nbsp;cryptocurrencies in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/what-is-a-401k">401(k)</a> retirement&nbsp;plans on Wednesday.
What Happened:  The Department of Labor's Employee Benefits Security Administration rescinded a Biden-era guidance that had urged plan fiduciaries to exercise &#8220;extreme care&#8221; before adding cryptocurrency to investment menus, marking a return to the department&#8217;s &#8220;historically neutral&#8221; position on such investments.
&#8220;By rescinding the 2022 guidance, the department reaffirms its neutral stance, neither endorsing, nor disapproving of, plan fiduciaries who conclude that the inclusion of cryptocurrency in a plan's investment menu is appropriate,&#8221; a statement from the release said.

Bitcoin In Your 401(k)? Trump's Labor Department Rolls Back Biden-Era Guidance On Crypto In The Employer-Sponsored Retirement Plan

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) shares jumped over 2.9% in overnight trading to $367.32 following CEO Elon Musk&#8216;s announcement that his role as Special Government Employee leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has concluded.
What Happened: The electric vehicle maker closed regular trading down 1.65% at $356.90 on Tuesday before the announcement sparked investor optimism about Musk&#8217;s renewed focus on Tesla operations.
&#8220;As my scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end, I would like to thank President Donald Trump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending,&#8221; Musk posted on social media. He added that &#8220;The DOGE mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government.&#8221;
Musk&#8217;s departure from DOGE comes after mounting criticism over potential conflicts of interest and Tesla&#8217;s declining sales performance. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45637814/elon-musk-admits-he-spent-too-much-time-on-politics-after-tesla-sales-decline-in-multiple-regions">billionaire admitted in a recent interview</a> that he &#8220;probably did spend a bit too much time on politics&#8221; and described his government involvement as a &#8220;time allocation issue.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Tesla has faced significant challenges as Musk&#8217;s political activities intensified.

The renewed commitment to Tesla operations has energized Wall Street analysts. Wedbush Securities&#8216; Dan Ives recently set a $500 price target for TSLA shares, projecting a potential $2 trillion market <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45557873/tesla-bull-dan-ives-thinks-elon-musks-ev-giant-could-be-entering-a-golden-era-says-2-trillion-market-cap-on-the-table">capitalization for the company</a>.

Tesla Stock Gains 2.9% In Overnight Trade As Elon Musk Ends DOGE Government Role

Nvidia Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) strong first-quarter performance highlights a quiet, yet fast-growing segment of the company that has long been overlooked by investors.
What Happened: During its much-anticipated <a href="https://benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45657660/nvidia-q1-highlights-china-export-ban-hits-results-but-jensen-huang-says-demand-incredibly-strong">first quarter results</a> on Wednesday, NVIDIA reported $5 billion in sales from its networking business, an increase of 64% from the prior quarter, with the company&#8217;s CFO Colette Kress noting during the earnings call, that its enhanced Ethernet platform, SpectrumX, is now annualizing over $8 billion.
&#8220;Spectrum X posted strong sequential and year-on-year growth,&#8221; she said, adding that adoption is &#8220;widespread across major CSPs,&#8221; including Microsoft Azure, Oracle Cloud, CoreWeave Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWV#NASDAQ">CRWV</a>), and most recently, Google Cloud and Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>).

During the call, CEO Jensen Huang emphasized the company&#8217;s strategy to dominate, not just the AI compute layer, but the entire datacenter architecture. 
He says, &#8220;we now have four networking platforms,&#8221; referring to NVLink, SpectrumX, InfiniBand, and BlueField, all of which he says are &#8220;doing really well.&#8221;
Powerful AI models such as ChatGPT or Google&#8217;s Gemini require hundreds of thousands of GPUs that need to constantly talk with one another. These conversations are an intense, split-second exchange of huge volumes of data that traditional Ethernet switches are incapable of handling.
The company's NVLink Gen 5 platform delivers 130 terabytes per second of bandwidth in a single rack, which is equivalent to the world's peak internet traffic. 
Huang says that enhanced Ethernet, once considered unsuitable for AI, now rivals InfiniBand in efficiency. &#8220;The traffic of AI is insanely bursty… and so SpectrumX has been really, quite frankly, a home run.&#8221;
Despite its rapid growth, networking still makes up a relatively small portion of NVIDIA's $39.1 billion data center revenue, where GPU sales dominate. This is potentially obscuring its growth and impact among investors and analysts. 
&#8220;This is the start of a powerful new wave of growth,&#8221; Huang said, reinforcing his confidence in the segment. &#8220;We're off to the races.&#8221;
Why It Matters: Nvidia&#8217;s networking play is already <a href="https://benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/02/44005208/nvidia-ai-juggernaut-rolls-on-but-can-arista-cisco-keep-up">mounting pressure</a> on legacy giants in this space, such as Arista Networks Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANET#NYSE">ANET</a>) and Cisco Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>).
During its <a href="https://benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45657660/nvidia-q1-highlights-china-export-ban-hits-results-but-jensen-huang-says-demand-incredibly-strong">first quarter results</a> on Wednesday, the company reported $44.1 billion in revenue, up 69% year-over-year, and beating consensus estimates at $42.3 billion. It, however, missed earnings estimates, with a profit of $0.81 per share, against $0.88 per share.
Price Action: Shares of Nvidia were down 0.51% on Wednesday, trading at $134.81, but are up 4.89% after hours, following the company&#8217;s better-than-expected first quarter performance.

Jensen Huang Points To 'A Powerful New Wave Of Growth' For Nvidia And Wall Street May Be Overlooking It: Chipmaker Set To Dominate The AI Datastack?

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is reportedly preparing a rebrand of its software platforms by introducing a year-based naming system.
What Happened: At its Worldwide Developers Conference on June 9, Apple could unveil the new strategy, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-05-28/apple-to-rebrand-device-operating-systems-ios-26-macos-26-watchos-26?srnd=undefined">reported</a> Bloomberg on Wednesday, citing people with knowledge of the matter.
As per the report, the tech giant will replace the current version numbers like iOS 18 and macOS 15 with year-based names, such as iOS 26, macOS 26, and iPadOS 26.
The idea behind this is to simplify the naming process, which currently has some inconsistencies because of its varied launch dates.
Apple did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga's</a> request for comments.

Why It's Important: In 2020, Samsung Electronics Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) also made a similar move by launching the Galaxy S20 after releasing the Galaxy S10 in 2019.
Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) also did this back in 1995 by naming its operating systems after their release years like Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows 2000.

Although in this case, Apple is taking a slightly different approach by using the upcoming year instead of the ongoing one. For example, the next iOS update is expected to launch in September 2025, but will name named iOS 26, the report added.
Price Action: Apple&#8217;s stock edged up by 0.10% during Wednesday's regular trading session and saw a more notable gain of 3.49% in after-hours trading, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>.
According to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, Apple received a growth score of 32.99%. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it compares to other leading stocks</a> like Samsung and Microsoft.

Apple Is Reportedly Making iOS Take A Leap From 18 To 26 — Here's Why

Eric Trump, the executive vice president of The Trump Organization, was all praise for Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) co-founder Michael Saylor on Wednesday, stating that Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) is "fortunate" to have him.
What Happened: Speaking at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, Trump recalled how Saylor attempted to persuade him to invest in the apex cryptocurrency.
"You need to mortgage Mar-a-Lago right now. You need to take $2 billion out of Mar-a-Lago and need to go long Bitcoin," Trump quoted Saylor as saying.

Eric Trump mentioned how Saylor advises everyone to follow his Bitcoin playbook and how it's an &#8220;incredible opportunity&#8221; to capitalize on.
"I&#8217;ve never seen that in any other industry where you have the titan of the industry that&#8217;s literally advocating for smart people to compete against them," he said about Saylor.
Meanwhile, when asked for a prediction, Trump said Bitcoin would clear $170,000 in a year.

Eric Trump Reveals Advice From Michael Saylor: Mortgage Mar-A-Lago And Take $2 Billion To Invest In Bitcoin

The U.S. unemployment rate is officially stuck at 4.2%, yet a lesser-known yardstick called "functional unemployment" now says roughly one in four American adults is effectively out of luck in the labor market, its highest reading in three months.
What Happened: Compiled by the Ludwig Institute for Shared Economic Prosperity, the metric folds in job-seekers who can't land work and full-time workers earning less than $25,000, the federal poverty threshold for a family of four. LISEP's April update pegs the "true rate" at 24.4%, up from 23.8% in January.
The gap remains widest for Black workers — 26.7% — while the rate for white workers dipped to 23%. Women's functional jobless rate fell slightly to 28.6%, but men ticked up to 20%, narrowing the gender spread. LISEP chair Gene Ludwig warns the trend shows &#8220;little signs of improvement&#8221; amid a shortage of &#8220;dependable, good-paying jobs.&#8221;
Traditional Bureau of Labor Statistics <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45164558/us-adds-177000-jobs-in-april-topping-forecasts-as-economy-navigates-tariff-impact">data</a> excludes the nearly six million people working full time yet living below the poverty line, as well as some discouraged workers who have quit looking. That statistical blind spot helps explain why consumer sentiment sags even as payrolls rise.

Living costs aren't waiting for wages to catch up. The annual expense of raising a child has jumped almost 36% since 2023, topping $30,000 per year and pushing the lifetime tab near $300,000. Child Care Aware of America's (CCAoA) analysis shows child-care costs alone now absorb more than a third of the median household income in some states.
Economists note that headline unemployment remained just 4% in 2011, yet millions felt underemployed for years afterward. LISEP argues today's functional-jobless surge deserves similar policy attention, calling for targeted training and wage support. The consequence otherwise, as Ludwig puts it, will be that &#8220;low- and middle-income wage earners ultimately end up paying the bill.&#8221;

Analyst Notes: Cryptocurrency analyst and trader Ali Martinez observed that Bitcoin has reached the lower limit of its current channel, which had previously served as support.&nbsp;
He also spotted a "buy" signal from the TD Sequential indicator on BTC's hourly chart.&nbsp;
The TD Sequential indicator is a technical analysis tool that helps traders identify potential price reversals and exhaustion patterns.

Another widely followed cryptocurrency investor, known by the pseudonym Scient, predicted BTC to hit a new all-time high "in a couple of days," provided it could hold above $107,974—the upper boundary of a "box" that they highlighted.
"If we fall under the box, $102,000 is a good support for scalp longs, but it will invite a lot of sell pressure when we test $108,000 from underside," they said.

Bitcoin, Dogecoin Dip, Ethereum Gains As Court Strikes Down Trump's Tariffs: Analyst Anticipates BTC All-Time High 'In A Couple Of Days' If This Happens

At Berkshire Hathaway's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) 2023 annual meeting, CEO Warren Buffett shared a rare insight into why See's Candies, a beloved West Coast confectioner owned by the conglomerate since 1972, hasn't expanded successfully beyond its core markets.
What Happened: "We have this wonderful brand that doesn't travel," Buffett said. "The mystique, the actual product, the feelings people have about some things… it's limited to given markets."
Despite See's strong economy in California and the western U.S., attempts to replicate that success elsewhere repeatedly fell short.
"We tried everything in the world to move the brand… and we always think we were right for the first week," Buffett said. "Then we find out that the magic—we can beat any other candy store pretty much—but there aren't any candy stores anymore to speak of, as the world has changed."

Buffett compared See's regional success to Dr Pepper's dominance in certain markets like Dallas–Fort Worth, noting that even national advertising and widespread awareness can't override local preferences.
"There are all kinds of crazy things in the world that consumers do," he added, pointing out that East Coast customers prefer dark chocolate, while West Coast buyers gravitate toward milk chocolate.

Why It's Important: See's Candies began in 1921 when Charles See and his family opened their first shop in Los Angeles, offering chocolates based on his mother Mary See's original recipes.
The company quickly earned a reputation for quality and freshness, building a loyal customer base across California. A major turning point came in 1972 when Buffett and Charlie Munger's Berkshire Hathaway acquired See's for $25 million.
What began as a modest operation with $30 million in annual revenue and under $5 million in pretax income grew into a confectionery powerhouse, generating over $380 million in annual sales and $80 million in profits, <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/warren-buffett-berkshire-hathaway-dream-business-is-sees-candies-2019-7-1029916323#a-return-of-8000-1">reported</a> Markets Insider in 2019.
Buffett's admiration for See's is also no secret. During shareholder meetings, he famously keeps a box of See's peanut brittle close by.

Warren Buffett Has Discovered There's No Accounting For Tastes Through Berkshire's Candy Company: 'There Are All Kinds Of Crazy Things In The World That Consumers Do'

Nvidia Corporation&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) blockbuster quarter has drawn reactions from top investors, with Ross Gerber slamming <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/05/45629142/nvidia-q1-earnings-preview-analyst-cautions-on-macro-uncertainty-china-restrictions-stay-long-the-stock">U.S. policy on China</a>. At the same time, Deepwater Asset Management's Gene Munster has urged Wall Street to focus on the chipmaker's explosive AI growth.
What Happened: Nvidia <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45657660/nvidia-q1-highlights-china-export-ban-hits-results-but-jensen-huang-says-demand-incredibly-strong">reported first-quarter revenue</a> of $44.1 billion, up 69% year-over-year and ahead of Wall Street's $43.2 billion estimate.
"Another impressive qtr from Nvidia despite [Donald] Trump basically destroying their China business for now," said Gerber, CEO of Gerber Kawasaki on X, formerly Twitter. "At some point maybe the U.S. will understand the advantages of having China being dependent on our technology."

Meanwhile, Munster <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45182565/nvidia-designing-new-ai-chips-for-alibaba-bytedance-tencent-after-warning-us-export-ban-on-h20-could-cost-the-company-55-billion-report">downplayed the China hit</a>, suggesting investors should zoom in on Nvidia's core business. &#8220;Forget the China curbs. $NVDA&#8217;s business is off the charts good,&#8221; he said on social media.
&#8220;[Nvidia&#8217;s] core business is on fire and is evidence that we&#8217;re still early in the AI infrastructure buildout,&#8221; he said on his Pressure Points show.&nbsp;
Munster stated that if the $2.5 billion revenue loss from China in the April quarter were excluded, Nvidia's year-over-year growth would have reached 79%. Similarly, adjusting for the expected $8 billion China hit in the July quarter would still imply 76% revenue growth, well above Wall Street's 60% forecast.

Why It's Important: On April 9, Nvidia was hit with an export ban affecting its H20 products bound for China. As a result, the company recorded a $4.5 billion charge in the first quarter tied to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45309175/nvidia-modifies-h20-chip-for-china-after-us-restrictions-block-sales-aims-to-deliver-new-version-by-july-report">unsold H20 inventory</a> and existing purchase commitments.
Before the new export rules took effect, H20-related sales for the quarter totaled $4.6 billion. Nvidia noted that, excluding the impact of this charge, its adjusted earnings per share for the quarter would have been 96 cents.
Previously, it was reported that Nvidia is preparing to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45605521/after-jensen-huang-criticized-us-export-curbs-nvidia-set-to-launch-cheaper-blackwell-ai-chip-for-china-amid-market-share-slide-report">introduce a much more affordable</a> artificial intelligence chip for the Chinese market, with prices ranging from $6,500 to $8,000.
Earlier this month, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang reportedly told U.S. lawmakers that current <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45157365/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-warns-us-lawmakers-that-export-bans-are-backfiring-fueling-huaweis-rise-in-global-ai-chip-race">export limits on AI chips could be giving</a> Huawei Technologies an advantage, potentially strengthening the Chinese company's position in the global AI competition.
Price Action: Nvidia shares rose 4.89% in after-hours trading, reaching $141.40, after slipping 0.51% during Wednesday's regular session, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Ross Gerber Blasts Trump For 'Destroying' Nvidia's China Business — Gene Munster Says 'Forget About The China Curbs' Because The Chip Giant's Core Business Is 'On Fire'

Economist and market commentator Peter Schiff slammed Vice President&nbsp;JD Vance&#8217;s support for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) at an ongoing cryptocurrency conference Wednesday.
What Happened: Schiff took to X to challenge several remarks made by Vance at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas.
Schiff disputed Vance&#8217;s assertion that Bitcoin has created new wealth. &#8220;What has happened is a massive transfer of wealth from those who bought Bitcoin and crypto early to those who bought later. In the process, capital has been misallocated and resources squandered,&#8221; he argued.
Schiff also questioned Vance&#8217;s view of Bitcoin as a hedge against poor government policy and rising inflation, arguing that gold and silver &#8220;deliver the needed protection.&#8221;

The staunch Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) critic took potshots at the Trump administration, asking it to implement &#8220;good&#8221; inflation-reducing policies rather than encouraging Americans to buy the wrong asset as a hedge after enacting &#8220;bad&#8221; ones.

Interestingly, Schiff himself was participating at the 3-day conference. During a fireside chat, he made cheeky remark ,saying, &#8220;I&#8217;m likely responsible for more people owning Bitcoin than any other individual. Every time I tell you not to buy Bitcoin you buy more."

'HHS Cancels Moderna's $590M Bird Flu Vaccine Award' - Axios

U.S. stock futures are rallying Wednesday evening after a Federal Court ruled that President Donald Trump overstepped his authority with the &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; tariffs imposed at the beginning of April. 
Following the ruling, the S&amp;P 500 Futures are up 1.50%, at 5,991.25, Nasdaq Futures trading at 21,775.75, up 1.85%, followed by Dow Futures rose over 400 points to 42,635.00, soaring 1.10% on the news.
A three-judge panel on the Manhattan-based U.S. Court of International Trade <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45660322/trump-tariffs-struck-down-by-federal-court-major-blow-to-white-houses-trade-strategy-report">ruled unanimously</a> on Wednesday that the Constitution gives Congress exclusive authority to regulate trade and commerce with other countries, which the&nbsp;International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not override.

The White House has since filed an appeal against this ruling, which could jeopardize its strategies and ongoing negotiations with several trade partners.

Japan&#8217;s benchmark Nikkei 225 index opened higher, currently trading up 1.49%, or 563.12 points, at 38,285.52 on the news, despite growing concerns of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/05/45613069/japans-40-year-bond-yield-nosedives-as-finance-ministry-considers-cutting-super-long-debt-issuance-report">rising 40-Year bond yields</a>.

Dow Futures Jump Over 400 Points, Amazon And Walmart Shares Spike In After-Hours Trading After Court Blocks Trump Tariffs: Nikkei Opens Higher

On Wednesday, Cathie Wood&#8216;s Ark Invest made notable trades involving Tesla Inc. and Tempus AI Inc. . These trades come amid significant developments for both companies, with Tesla&#8217;s insider sales raising eyebrows and Tempus AI facing scrutiny from short sellers.
The Tesla Trade
Ark Invest&#8217;s flagship fund, ARK Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#BATS">ARKK</a>), executed a sale of 15,817 shares of Tesla on Wednesday. Tesla shares ended the day at $356.90, valuing the transaction at $5.6 million.
The Ark transaction aligns with a broader trend of insider sales at Tesla, reported on the same day. Two board members of Tesla have reportedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/insider-trades/25/05/45651670/tesla-insider-sales-increase-ahead-of-robotaxi-launch-kimbal-musk-ira-ehrenpreis-sell-190m">sold nearly $200 million worth of shares</a> ahead of the company&#8217;s anticipated robotaxi launch in Texas. The insider sales, the latest being from Ira Ehrenpreis and Kimbal Musk, could signal potential concerns, especially as Tesla grapples with challenges such as a 13% drop in deliveries and increasing inventory levels. The sale of Tesla shares by Ark Invest adds to the ongoing narrative surrounding the electric vehicle giant&#8217;s current market position.
Wood <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45635104/cathie-wood-dumps-9-9m-tesla-despite-musks-24-7-pledge-loads-up-on-nvidia-before-earnings">dumped $9.9 million</a> worth of Tesla shares on Tuesday, even after CEO Elon Musk said that he is committed to spending &#8220;24/7&#8221; at work. On Wednesday, Musk officially announced that his &#8220;scheduled time&#8221; as special government employee had come to an end.

The Tempus AI Trade
Ark Invest made a significant move by purchasing shares of Tempus AI Inc. across its ARK Genomic Revolution ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKG#BATS">ARKG</a>) and ARKK funds. The ARKG fund acquired 34,299 shares, while ARKK added 216,781 shares to its portfolio. Tempus AI shares ended Wednesday at $53.20, the total transaction was valued at $13.36 million.
This acquisition comes at a time when Tempus AI is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45648906/tempus-ai-stock-sinks-after-short-seller-flags-ceo-track-record-suspicious-accounting-50-downside-potential">under scrutiny</a> from Spruce Point Capital Management, a short seller that has raised concerns about the company&#8217;s management and accounting practices. The short seller&#8217;s report, titled &#8220;The Tempest Surrounding Tempus AI,&#8221; has contributed to a decline in Tempus AI&#8217;s stock price. Despite these challenges, Ark Invest&#8217;s purchase indicates a continued belief in Tempus AI&#8217;s potential within the AI sector.

Cathie Wood Ditches $5.6M More Tesla While Elon Musk Quits Government Role — Doubles Down On AI Stock Under Attack By Short Sellers

Editor&#8217;s Note: This story has been updated to include the latest details
A federal court struck down global tariffs imposed by&nbsp;President Donald Trump under the International Emergency Economic&nbsp;Powers Act on Wednesday. This ruling could significantly impact the administration&#8217;s trade strategies.
What Happened: The federal court has ruled against Trump&#8217;s authority to impose extensive global tariffs&nbsp;under the IEEPA, according to a <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/05/28/trump-tariffs-trade-court-ruling">report</a> by Axios. The decision, delivered by the U.S. Court of International Trade, could potentially halt the administration&#8217;s trade war efforts.
The court&#8217;s ruling, which emerged from two separate cases, nullifies the tariffs Trump had enforced using the 1977 IEEPA law, a statute never previously applied in tariff situations. Businesses and states had challenged the tariffs, arguing they violated the Constitution&#8217;s allocation of import duty authority to Congress.
The three-judge panel, comprising appointees from the Reagan, Obama, and Trump administrations, stated that IEEPA does not grant the president unlimited tariff-imposing powers. Consequently, the court vacated the challenged tariff orders and permanently enjoined their operation.
Axios noted that the court bypassed motions for an injunction, directly issuing a judgment that IEEPA did not authorize the &#8220;Worldwide, Retaliatory or Trafficking&#8221; orders. The White House has yet to comment on the ruling. 
&#8220;The challenged Tariff Orders will be vacated and their operation permanently enjoined,&#8221; wrote the court in its ruling, according to the report.
The decision could lead to confusion at U.S. ports and impact markets as businesses await the administration&#8217;s next steps and potential higher court interventions.
The Trump administration filed an appeal against the ruling in minutes, according to a Reuters report.

Why It Matters: This ruling follows a series of aggressive trade measures by Trump, including the introduction of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44616760/donald-trump-sets-reciprocal-tariffs-on-key-trade-partners-in-historic-policy-shock">reciprocal tariff structure</a> in early April 2025. The president announced these tariffs as part of a broader strategy to redefine America&#8217;s trade relationships, dubbing it &#8220;our Declaration of Economic Independence.&#8221;
The economic impact of these tariffs was immediate and profound. The U.S. stock market <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-of-inflation">experienced a significant downturn</a>, with a $5 trillion loss in market capitalization over just two days following the tariff announcement.

Trump Tariffs Struck Down By Federal Court — Appeal Filed By Administration: Report (UPDATED)

You're in your 60s—or getting close—and wondering where you stand. Maybe retirement's around the corner, maybe you're still working by choice or necessity. Either way, there's one question that quietly lingers behind the spreadsheets and savings goals: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43201704/can-you-guess-what-it-takes-to-be-wealthy-in-retirement-hint-its-probably-less-than-your-goal">am I doing better than most</a>?
There's no single number that defines success—but when it comes to net worth, the data paints a pretty clear picture of who's considered upper class in this age group.
Over the past three decades, the average retirement age has crept upward. In 2024, men typically retired at 64.6, women at 62.6, <a href="https://crr.bc.edu/will-the-average-retirement-age-keep-rising/">according to economist Alicia Munnell</a>. That's a few years older than in 1994, when retirement came around 61 for men and 59 for women. The shift is slow but steady, and it can influence everything from lifestyle to savings goals as people extend their working years—or opt out altogether.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Net Worth Benchmarks: Where Do You Fit?</h2>
The <a href="https://www.federalreserve.gov/econres/scfindex.htm">Federal Reserve's 2022 Survey of Consumer Finances</a> offers a detailed look at household net worth by age and percentile. For Americans in their 60s, here's how the numbers break down:
Ages 55–64:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>80th percentile (Top 20%): $1,472,000</li>
<li>90th percentile (Top 10%): $2,960,900 </li>
</ul>
Ages 65–74:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>80th percentile (Top 20%): $1,524,000</li>
<li>90th percentile (Top 10%): $2,997,300 </li>
</ul>
In contrast, the median net worth is far lower: $364,260 for ages 55–64 and $410,000 for ages 65–74. That gap illustrates just how concentrated wealth can be among the upper percentiles.
Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl-scaling-fast-from-spacex-orders-to-600-homes-built-this-60k-foldable-home-may-be-the-future-of-housing">this is your last chance to become an investor for $0.80 per share.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's in the Portfolio?</h2>
Net worth isn't just what's in your bank account. For the upper class, it's usually spread across:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Retirement accounts (401(k), IRA)</li>
<li>Home equity and real estate</li>
<li>Stocks, bonds, mutual funds</li>
<li>Business ownership</li>
<li>Cash and savings</li>
<li>Personal assets like vehicles, jewelry, or art </li>
