VIR BIOTECHNOLOGY INC

Vir Biotechnology

Vir Biotechnology Inc is an immunology company focused on combining cutting-edge technologies to treat and prevent serious infectious diseases and other serious conditions, including viral-associated diseases. Through internal development, collaborations, and acquisitions, it has four technology platforms, focused on antibodies, T cells, innate immunity, and small interfering ribonucleic acid, or siRNA. The company's pipeline consists of product candidates targeting hepatitis B, HBV, influenza A, human immunodeficiency virus, HIV, and tuberculosis, or TB. Its revenue sources are collaboration revenue, contract revenue, grant revenue, and license revenue.

Billionaire investor and founder of Bridgewater Associates, Ray Dalio, has sounded the alarm on the U.S. fiscal trajectory following the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46255065/trumps-3-3-trillion-bill-passes-will-vulnerable-americans-pay-the-price">passage</a> of the &#8216;One Big, Beautiful Bill Act.&#8217;
What Happened: In a post on X, Dalio projected that the new budget, with annual spending of $7 trillion against $5 trillion in revenue, will balloon the national debt to a staggering $425,000 per American family over the next decade.
Currently at $230,000 per family, this represents a debt-to-GDP ratio climbing from 100% to 130%, with interest payments expected to surge from $1 trillion to $2 trillion annually.
According to Dalio, this &#8220;will lead to either a big squeezing out (and cutting off) of spending and/or unimaginable tax increases, or a lot of printing and devaluing of money and pushing interest rates to unattractively low levels.&#8221;
In the three possibilities mentioned by Dalio, one hinted at the economic theory of Ricardian equivalence at play, suggesting that rational individuals would anticipate that a debt-financed tax cut would lead to future tax increases to pay off the debt.
He explains that this printing and devaluing is not good for those holding bonds as a store of wealth.
Adding, &#8220;What's bad for bonds and U.S. credit markets is bad for everyone because the U.S. Treasury market is the backbone of all capital markets, which are the backbones of our economic and social conditions.&#8221;
Dalio warns that without corrective action—reducing the deficit from 7% to 3% of GDP through spending cuts, tax hikes, or interest rate adjustments—severe economic disruptions loom.
&#8220;Unless this path is soon rectified to bring the budget deficit from roughly 7% of GDP to about 3% by making adjustments to spending, taxes, and interest rates, big, painful disruptions will likely occur,&#8221; Dalio warns.

Why It Matters: Adding to Dalio&#8217;s post, economist Peter Schiff said that &#8220;The bill will add much more than that to the national debt. The economy will grow more slowly, tax collections will be lower, and spending and interest rates will be higher than what is built into the rosy assumptions.&#8221;
Meanwhile, Peter Brandt, the CEO of Factor LLC, quoted Dalio&#8217;s post and said, &#8220;America is heading down the tubes. Perhaps what will be reconstructed after the national bankruptcy will be kinder to Z and M generations.&#8221;

Ray Dalio Warns US Debt Per Family Will Rise 85% To $425,000 Over Next 10 Years As House Passes Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill'

Earnings Scheduled For July 4, 2025

President Donald Trump is set to sign the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46257394/trumps-big-bautiful-bill-passes-ev-tax-breaks-to-end-on-september-30-what-it-means-for-electric-vehicles">Big, Beautiful Bill</a> into law on July 4. The bill effectively eliminates a crucial revenue stream for Elon Musk&#8216;s EV giant Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), ZEV (Zero Emission Vehicle) credits.
Trump's tax bill passed the U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday, eliminating the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45965638/amid-trumps-anti-ev-push-senate-republicans-propose-tax-bill-to-axe-7500-ev-credit">$7,500 Federal EV credit</a> on new purchases as well as a $4,000 credit on used EVs. The bill also axes hefty fines on the CAFE or Corporate Average Fuel Economy Norms.
CAFE and ZEV credits
CAFE norms dictate fuel economy for vehicles, regulating how far our vehicles must travel on a gallon of fuel. This is where Tesla comes in as the company exclusively sells all-electric vehicles. This helps the company generate vast amounts of regulatory credits known as ZEV credits or Zero Emission Vehicle credits that automakers earn for not generating emissions, by manufacturing either EVs or Hydrogen fuel cells.
Tesla can sell the credits to other auto manufacturers that have exceeded CAFE norms, which helps them offset the fuel economy standards and avoid paying hefty fines to the U.S. government. The EV giant generated upwards of $2.76 billion in revenue through the credits in 2024, according to <a href="https://carboncredits.com/teslas-carbon-credit-revenue-soars-to-2-76-billion-amid-profit-drop/">a</a> Carbon Credits report.
Revoking EPA Waivers
However, there is another aspect to it in the form of waivers for the Environmental Protection Agency, which helped enforce emissions norms. Influencer Sawyer Merritt shared a post on social media platform X, detailing the impact of the bill on EVs on Thursday.
"Congress recently used the Congressional Review Act to revoke EPA waivers that allowed California (and the 17+ states that follow its lead) to enforce stricter emissions rules, including ZEV mandates," he shared in the post.
The waivers served as crucial elements of the state-level ZEV credit rules, he suggests. Without these in place, "states can no longer require automakers to meet ZEV sales targets or buy ZEV credits," which effectively renders the sales of ZEV credits to be non-essential for companies in the U.S., Merritt says.
However, Tesla can still use ZEV credits as a revenue stream outside of the U.S.

A Silver lining?
Tesla sales have been down in recent times, with the company experiencing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46189042/elon-musk-led-teslas-european-woes-worsen-with-sales-down-over-60-in-sweden-and-denmark">double-digit declines</a> in markets like Sweden and Denmark, adding to the company's sales woes.
However, with Q2 deliveries <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46239998/dan-ives-hails-teslas-better-than-expected-q2-deliveries-says-fireworks-come-early-for-elon-musk-led-ev-giant">exceeding market expectations</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46239731/elon-musks-tesla-sales-surge-3-7-in-china-as-other-markets-cool">sales in China</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46257617/elon-musk-led-tesla-sales-surge-12-in-the-uk-during-june-q2-deliveries-beat-analyst-estimates">the UK rising</a>, there could be a silver lining for the company, even more so now, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46214467/elon-musk-will-oversee-tesla-sales-in-the-us-europe-after-omead-afshars-exit-report">Musk assuming oversight</a> of sales in the U.S. and Europe.
Tesla has also confirmed that it will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46212911/amid-declining-sales-elon-musks-tesla-confirms-new-affordable-models-will-be-introduced-this-year">introduce affordable models</a> in its lineup, though it remains unclear whether the models will be brand new or if they will be stripped-down versions of existing Tesla vehicles. These factors could help the company stabilize revenue streams in the absence of ZEV credits.

Tesla Made $2.76 Billion From ZEV Credits In 2024 In US But Trump's Tax Bill Just Killed This Revenue Stream

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is rolling out a new feature with iOS 26 that aims to curb spam by automatically filtering and silencing unwanted texts in its Messages app.
What Happened: As part of the iOS 26 update, Apple is getting an enhanced spam screening tool within its Messages app, <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2025/07/03/ios-26s-messages-app-has-a-solution-coming-for-unwanted-texts/">reported</a> 9to5Mac.
Once enabled, the feature filters suspected spam and messages from unknown senders into dedicated folders, keeping them out of the user's main inbox and disabling notifications for those texts.
When users first install iOS 26, Messages will prompt them to activate the screening feature. If enabled, all suspected spam will be automatically rerouted into a separate &#8220;Spam&#8221; section, while unknown senders—those not in the user's contacts—will be moved to an &#8220;Unknown Senders&#8221; tab.

Both sections can be accessed through a new filtering option at the top-right of the Messages app, the report said.
The upgrade also includes visual cues on the filters button, alerting users when a new message has been screened, allowing them to review it manually if needed.
Other updates to Messages in iOS 26 include conversation backgrounds, group typing indicators, polls and live translation.
Why It's Important: Apple's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45852236/steve-jobs-would-have-fired-everyone-apples-liquid-glass-in-ios-26-gets-roasted-online-dan-ives-calls-wwdc-2025-a-yawner">bold new design</a> for iOS 26 — called "Liquid Glass" — is also facing a wave of online criticism. Liquid Glass introduces a translucent, reactive interface designed to make the iPhone feel more fluid and immersive.
The design now spans buttons, sliders, the lock screen, Control Center and more.
Apple released iOS 26 Beta 2, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46066274/apple-liquid-glass-gets-tweaks-in-ios-26-beta-2-after-early-testers-slam-readability-issues-heres-what-else-has-changed">tweaking its new</a> Liquid Glass interface after early testers criticized poor readability. The update improves background blur in Control Center to make buttons and sliders clearer and notifications now appear sharper, though some issues remain on light backgrounds.

Cognition Therapeutics Shares Jump 12% After Hours Following Encouraging Phase 2 Alzheimer's Trial Data

The Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) has secured a $2.8 billion contract from the U.S. Space Force to develop and produce strategic satellite communications systems.
What Happened: The contract covers Boeing&#8217;s Evolved Strategic Satellite Communications (ESS) program, which will deliver two satellites with options for two additional units. 
The ESS program serves as the space-based component of the U.S. nuclear command, control, and communications (NC3) architecture, providing critical connectivity for presidential communications and joint strategic forces worldwide.
&#8220;It&#8217;s a critical time to advance U.S. space capabilities to ensure peace through strength,&#8221; said Cordell DeLaPena, U.S. Space Force Program Executive Officer for the Military Communications and Positioning, Navigation, and Timing Directorate. &#8220;The strategic communication mission requires protection, power and always-available capability, even through adversary attempts to interrupt our connectivity.&#8221;
The ESS satellites will operate in geostationary orbit approximately 22,000 miles above Earth, offering enhanced capacity, flexibility, reliability and resilience compared to current strategic communications satellites. Boeing has been executing technical maturation and risk reduction work under a rapid prototyping contract since 2020.
&#8220;We designed an innovative system to provide guaranteed communication to address an evolving threat environment in space,&#8221; said Kay Sears, Vice President and General Manager of Boeing Space, Intelligence and Weapon Systems.

Why It Matters: The spacecraft will utilize highly protected waveforms and classified technologies developed in partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense. Boeing is scheduled to deliver the first of two space vehicles by 2031.
This contract win comes as Boeing&#8217;s stock has gained over 16.82% in the past year, with shares trading at $215.92 as of Thursday.
The company recently completed delivery of its ninth and tenth O3b mPOWER satellites, continuing its partnership with network operator SES to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/07/46224681/whats-going-on-with-boeing-stock-today">enhance space-based internet access</a>.

Boeing Wins $2.8 Billion US Space Force Contract To Build Nuclear-Resilient Satellites For Strategic Communications

Experts have been debating the artificial intelligence-driven impact on employment with contradicting views. While market veteran like Jim Cramer thinks that &#8220;AI is still not trusted,&#8221; others see trouble brewing in the labor market due to the automation of several human-led jobs.
What Happened: Citing the labor differential and unemployment rate data, Ark Invest&#8217;s Cathie Wood said in her &#8220;<a href="https://www.ark-invest.com/videos/market-commentary/july-2025-in-the-know-cathie-wood">In The Know</a>&#8221; series, &#8220;Labor differential says that it&#8217;s getting harder to find jobs,&#8221; while adding that &#8220;rising unemployment claims suggest that people who are out of work are finding it difficult to get a job.&#8221;
While she blames immigration for this, Wood also states that &#8220;we do know that AI is hurting entry-level jobs.&#8221;
Highlighting a personal example from the ARK 2025 Vibe Coding Hackathon, she said that her firm used AI to address 13 pain points within the organization.
&#8220;Because of (AI&#8217;s) natural language programming, SaaS is going to run into some trouble here, now that we can do a lot ourselves and customize to our own organization&#8217;s needs,&#8221; she explains.
On the other hand, CNBC&#8217;s Mad Money host Cramer took to X and underscored that traditional white collar firms haven&#8217;t seen AI-related job cuts.
&#8220;They are still hiring, still paying a lot. AI is still not trusted at the highest rungs of major companies,&#8221; he said.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">CEOs have been saying that AI will wipe out jobs at their companies.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Meanwhile, taking a strong stand on this, economist Craig Shapiro warned that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/06/46093421/ai-will-disrupt-25-of-us-jobs-by-2030-and-the-fed-cant-save-them-economist-warns">AI could wipe 25% of jobs in the U.S.</a> by 2030, and the Federal Reserve&#8217;s traditional tool of interest rate cuts is ill-equipped to address the looming labor crisis.

Why It Matters: Shapiro cites a Goldman Sachs study and explains that tech giants like Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) are investing billions in AI, which will potentially automate 25% of the U.S. labor market by 2030.
Furthermore, he says, "AI-driven labor displacement, accelerating in 2025, poses a structural crisis that Federal Reserve rate cuts cannot fix.&#8221;
Shapiro also outlines Federal Reserve Vice Chair Michael Barr&#8216;s 2025 warning: AI could increase the natural unemployment rate due to skill mismatches. A <a href="https://hbr.org/2015/08/research-technology-is-only-making-social-skills-more-important">Harvard study</a> supported this, estimating 47% of U.S. jobs are at risk. 
Price Action: Here are a few AI-linked exchange-traded funds that investors can consider amid the booming artificial intelligence demand.

La Rosa Holdings, a real estate company, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46242298/exclusive-la-rosa-clocks-38-4-million-in-first-half-revenue-tops-3000-agents">reported a revenue of $38.4 million</a> for the first half of 2025, representing a 19.4% year-over-year growth. This announcement led to an 87% surge in the company&#8217;s stock, which closed at $0.15 on Thursday.
Why It Matters: La Rosa Holdings&#8217; strategic decisions, such as the approval of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/buybacks/25/04/44977376/exclusive-la-rosa-board-approves-500-thousand-stock-buyback-plan">$500 thousand stock buyback</a> plan in April, have also contributed to its positive market performance.&nbsp;
In July, the company&#8217;s shares soared after it reported a preliminary unaudited revenue of $38.4 million for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/wiim/25/07/46242719/la-rosa-holdings-shares-are-trading-higher-after-the-company-reported-preliminary-unaudited-revenue">first half of 2025</a>.

La Rosa Holdings (LRHC) Stock Dips 23% In After Hours, Shares Shed Intraday Gains Fueled By H1 2025 Revenue Numbers

Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABAF#OTC">BABAF</a>) announced the pricing of HK$12.023 billion ($1.5 billion) in zero-coupon exchangeable bonds due 2032, marking the Chinese e-commerce giant&#8217;s latest move to fuel its artificial intelligence and cloud expansion strategy.
What Happened: The bonds, priced on Thursday, are exchangeable for shares of Alibaba Health Information Technology Limited (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALBBY#OTC">ALBBY</a>), a consolidated subsidiary where Alibaba holds approximately 64% equity interest. The offering is expected to close July 9, subject to customary closing conditions.
Bondholders can exchange their securities at an initial ratio of approximately 160,513.6 Alibaba Health shares per HK$1 million principal amount, equivalent to an initial exchange price of HK$6.23 per share. This represents a 48% premium over the HK$4.21 per share price in the concurrent delta placement.
If fully exchanged, the bonds would represent up to 12% of Alibaba Health&#8217;s issued share capital as of May 31. The exchange price is subject to customary adjustments and anti-dilution provisions.
Alibaba expects net proceeds of approximately HK$11.9 billion ($1.55 billion) after deducting underwriter commissions and estimated expenses. The company plans to use proceeds for general corporate purposes, including investments in cloud infrastructure and international commerce businesses.

Why It Matters: The bond offering comes as Alibaba shares have surged 28% year-to-date, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46250853/alibabas-ai-and-cloud-moves-have-sparked-28-stock-rebound">significantly outperforming the NYSE Composite&#8217;s 8% gain</a>. The rally has been driven by accelerating growth in the company&#8217;s Cloud Intelligence Group, particularly AI-related products, and strategic investments in artificial intelligence.
In June, Alibaba released updated Qwen3 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46250853/alibabas-ai-and-cloud-moves-have-sparked-28-stock-rebound">AI models and partnered with</a> Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) to deploy machine-learning features on devices in China. The company is aggressively expanding its global cloud presence with new data centers in Malaysia, South Korea, and the Philippines.
The bonds will be listed on the Vienna MTF operated by the Vienna Stock Exchange within 60 days after closing. Bondholders may require redemption on July 9, 2030, or following certain corporate events, with redemption at 100% of the principal amount.
Price Action: As of Friday at 1:13 p.m. local time, Alibaba Group Holding Ltd traded at HK$105.60 (~$13.45) on the Hong Kong Exchange, down 0.56%.
On the NYSE, Alibaba ADR closed Thursday at $108.70, down 1.82%, with after-hours trading slipping to $108.63.
BABA scores well on momentum and growth based on Benzinga&#8217;s Stock Edge Ranking. While the stock shows a negative short- and medium-term price trend, its long-term trend remains positive.

Actor George Takei, famous for his role in the &#8216;Star Trek&#8217; franchise, says the Trump administration's push to deport undocumented immigrants echoes the World War II mass incarceration of Japanese Americans.
What Happened: The Star Trek star, who survived Japanese American internment, <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/audio/podcasts/the-assignment/episodes/9140d9e2-4b94-11ef-ba2a-9bdbc6863578">told</a> CNN's Audie Cornish that Donald Trump's immigration agenda echoes Franklin D. Roosevelt's wartime roundup of people with Japanese ancestry.
&#8220;But politicians lie, and people believe that lie because there&#8217;s hysteria rampant at that time,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And in our time today, right now, people got swept up by a lie and elected him. And now people have regrets. People must speak out.&#8221;
Takei reminded listeners that Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 on Feb. 19, 1942, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-executive-order-9066-migrants-gift-cards-076876930650">allowing</a> the government to confine about 120,000 Japanese Americans behind barbed wire. Guards with rifles watched over families crammed into sparsely insulated barracks, many of them U.S. citizens.

&#8220;Even great presidents can get swept up in the hysteria of the times because, to Roosevelt, the West Coast of the United States was just like Pearl Harbor,&#8221; Takei said. &#8220;It was open. Unprotected and vulnerable. And here were these people that looked exactly like the people that bombed Pearl Harbor. And so, he panicked out of ignorance.&#8221;
Cornish noted that polls in the 1940s favored internment, just as many voters now support mass deportations.
Why It Matters: Trump proposes <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46110499/trumps-big-beautiful-bill-to-inject-150-billion-into-immigration-enforcement-over-the-next-four-years-report">slashing $150 billion</a> from other federal programs and redirecting the money to his immigration agenda over the next four years. Immigration and Customs Enforcement already teeters on a budget cliff, and officials warn the agency <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45967200/ice-could-run-out-of-money-in-weeks-trumps-immigration-push-now-threatens-to-break-the-budget-report">could exhaust its funds</a> within weeks. Lawmakers from both parties fear Trump will siphon money from other agencies to keep ICE operating, although his new spending package could ease that pressure. 
Trump highlighted his hard-line approach last week by telling New York City Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani that he would <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46213003/zohran-mamdani-hits-back-at-trumps-arrest-threats-over-potentially-blocking-new-york-ice-raids-will-not-accept-this-intimidation">arrest and deport him</a> if he tried to block federal immigration raids.

Trump Administration's ICE Raids Compared With WWII Japanese Internment Camps By George Takei: 'Politicians Lie, And People Believe That Lie'

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) sales in the UK surged over 12% year-on-year in June as Elon Musk's EV giant's Q2 delivery figures fared better than initially predicted by experts.
What Happened: Tesla sold 7,891 units in the UK during June, compared to June 2024&#8217;s 7,019 units, data from NewAutomotive obtained by Reuters showcased on Friday.
The data also suggests that UK EV sales grew by 45.5%, with a 12.8% growth in total car sales in the region. The market as a whole registered 187,655 units in June. 
Tesla's Chinese rival, BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>), also gained in sales, selling 2,498 units in June. Tesla's total sales in the UK are still down 2%, the data shows.
Why It Matters: The news comes in as Tesla delivered over 384,000 vehicles in Q2, which analysts like Wedbush Securities' Dan Ives hailed as a moment where the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46239998/dan-ives-hails-teslas-better-than-expected-q2-deliveries-says-fireworks-come-early-for-elon-musk-led-ev-giant">&#8220;fireworks&#8221; came early</a> for the company.
Gary Black, managing director of Future Fund LLC, pinned the deliveries on Tesla experiencing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46239731/elon-musks-tesla-sales-surge-3-7-in-china-as-other-markets-cool">strong growth in China</a> during June. "2Q was better than expected, led by refreshed Model Y deliveries and strong quarter-end China deliveries," the investor said as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46238590/tsla-stock-surges-5-as-q2-deliveries-better-than-feared-gary-black-explains-why-elon-musk-led-tesla-fared-better-than-markets-worst-fears">company stock surged 5%</a>.
The news also comes in as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46214467/elon-musk-will-oversee-tesla-sales-in-the-us-europe-after-omead-afshars-exit-report">Musk will assume oversight</a> of Tesla sales in regions like Europe and the U.S. after close aide Omead Afshar's exit from the company earlier.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Story Behind The Fourth of July</h2>
The Fourth of July wasn&#8217;t always the big annual celebration we know today. It all started with a &#8220;spontaneous celebration&#8221; in Philadelphia, marking America&#8217;s first birthday, as described by John Adams in a letter to his daughter.
It took a while for the tradition to stick, though. After the War of 1812, people began to regularly mark the occasion, even planning major events like groundbreaking ceremonies for the Erie Canal and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad around the Fourth of July festivities. Eventually, Congress officially recognized its importance, making Independence Day a federal holiday on June 28, 1870.
Speaking of holidays, after the Fourth of July closure, it&#8217;ll be business as usual on Wall Street until early September. The next stock market closure is for Labor Day, on Monday, September 1.

Is the Market Open On July 4th? Everything You Need To Know

President Donald Trump's controversial One Big, Beautiful Bill has passed the House of Representatives with a 218-214 vote, with Trump expected to sign the bill into law on July 4. Here's what it means for EVs in the U.S.
What Happened: "It is obvious that the future of transportation is electric; this bill forfeits America's role in that future to China," The Electrification Coalition, a pro-EV group, said on Thursday, according to Reuters.
The tax bill eliminates the federal EV credit, worth $7,500, on all purchases of new electric vehicles, as well as a $4,000 credit on used EVs, which could be a blow to the growing EV sector in the country.
The bill also eliminates the civil fines imposed on corporations for not meeting the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) norms and repeals the proposed $250 annual fee on EV owners.
Elsewhere, the bill also eliminates the proposal that the U.S. Postal Service would need to overhaul its delivery fleet and sell off all the Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46048352/gop-cant-kill-usps-ev-fleet-under-tax-bill-says-senate-parliamentarian">transit EV vans</a> it currently uses.
Why It Matters: The tax bill has been a point of contention between Trump and his allies, most significantly, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk. Musk had launched a scathing attack on Trump over the budget, even claiming that if the bill were to pass, he would set up a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46186733/elon-musk-staging-a-political-comeback-tesla-ceo-sparks-america-party-buzz-as-he-slams-trumps-insane-spending-bill">new political party</a>.
Trump responded by saying that Musk would need <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46216023/after-trump-warns-elon-musk-to-close-up-shop-china-rallies-behind-worlds-richest-man-theres-no-need-to-keep-putting-up-with-it">to "close up shop"</a> and return to South Africa if it weren't for the U.S. government subsidies, further adding to the feud between the two.
The bill is in line with the Trump administration's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45943245/trump-says-he-was-amazed-that-tesla-ceo-elon-musk-endorsed-him-despite-his-anti-ev-stance">anti-EV stance</a> as the president had recently signed a resolution to overturn <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45911368/trump-signs-resolutions-to-overturn-californias-ev-mandate-report">California's EV mandate</a>, which aimed to phase out ICE-powered vehicles by 2035.

Trump's 'Big Bautiful Bill' Passes—EV Tax Breaks To End On September 30: What It Means For Electric Vehicles

Jane Street Group, a major global proprietary trading firm, has been barred from accessing Indian securities markets after the Securities and Exchange Board of India, the Indian market regulator, issued an interim order alleging manipulation of benchmark indices, including the Nifty 50.
What Happened: SEBI has frozen more than INR 48.43 billion ($580 million) in alleged unlawful gains and directed Jane Street's entities to deposit the amount in an escrow account, pending further investigation.
The order on Thursday accuses Jane Street's Indian and foreign subsidiaries of deploying complex trading strategies to manipulate index levels on expiry days, particularly in the highly liquid Nifty 50 and Bank Nifty options markets. 
SEBI's investigation found that Jane Street's entities engaged in aggressive, high-volume trades in index constituent stocks and futures, both to artificially move index prices and to profit from large, directional options positions. 
The regulator cited "intra-day index manipulation" and "extended marking the close" strategies, where Jane Street allegedly bought or sold large quantities of underlying stocks and futures to influence the index settlement price, then reversed those trades to maximize options profits.
Jane Street Group did not immediately respond to&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

Why It Matters: SEBI's order highlights that Jane Street's trading activity was concentrated around expiry days, with the group running the largest cash-equivalent risks in index options. 
The regulator noted that these actions created a false or misleading appearance of market activity, violating India's Prohibition of Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practices (PFUTP) regulations. The order also points to a disregard for regulatory warnings, as Jane Street continued similar trading patterns even after receiving a caution letter in February.
The ban and asset freeze are interim measures, and SEBI's investigation is ongoing.

Jane Street Banned From India After Market Regulator Alleges 'Intra-Day Index Manipulation'

Elon Musk's artificial intelligence startup xAI has received official approval to operate natural gas-burning turbines at its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/45100013/elon-musks-xai-supercomputer-powering-grok-faces-human-rights-violation-allegations-in-memphis-over-pollution-from-unauthorized-gas-turbines">Memphis-based supercomputer</a> facility, despite community backlash and an ongoing lawsuit over air quality concerns.
What Happened: The Shelby County Health Department issued the permit on Wednesday, allowing xAI to operate 15 gas turbines at its Colossus data center, which powers the Grok AI model, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/03/musks-xai-gets-permit-for-turbines-to-power-supercomputer-in-memphis.html">reported</a> CNBC.
The permit enforces emissions limits and testing requirements, with non-compliance penalties reaching $10,000 per day.
Local residents have protested the project for months, citing a strong odor and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46012282/elon-musks-xai-may-face-clean-air-act-lawsuit-over-alleged-pollution-at-memphis-data-center">poor air quality</a> that reportedly worsened after the turbines were activated. The NAACP, represented by the Southern Environmental Law Center, has filed a lawsuit against xAI, claiming the company violated the Clean Air Act.

Satellite images taken Tuesday reportedly show 24 turbines at the site, exceeding the permitted number. Previously, the site hosted as many as 35 turbines, with more than 15 operating at once, the report said.
Why It's Important: xAI's Memphis supercomputer is central to Musk's ambitions to compete with OpenAI's ChatGPT and Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google's Gemini.
Earlier this week, it was announced that xAI has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46187301/elon-musks-xai-secures-10-billion-in-debt-and-equity-amid-soaring-burn-rate-as-ai-arms-race-intensifies">raised $10 billion in debt</a> and equity.
The company is also reportedly in discussions to raise around $20 billion in equity funding, which could value it at over $120 billion, with some investors estimating its worth could reach as high as $200 billion.
Previously, Musk revealed that xAI plans to deploy 1 million GPUs near Memphis. Most of these GPUs will be sourced from Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), according to Gene Munster, with a smaller share coming from Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>).
Munster added that the total cost of acquiring these chips could range from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45534923/elon-musks-xai-plans-3040-billion-gpu-buy-near-memphis-nvidia-set-to-be-the-biggest-winner-says-top-analyst">$30 billion to $40 billion</a>.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Surge Amid Trump's 'One Big, Beautiful Bill' Victory — Analyst Says BTC On 'Cusp Of Making History' As It Eyes Key Weekly Resistance

Sonnet BioTherapeutics Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SONN#NASDAQ">SONN</a>) stock experienced a drop of 5.54% on Thursday, followed by a remarkable recovery of 14.29% in after-hours trading.
What Happened: Sonnet BioTherapeutics&#8217; stock fell by 5% during regular trading hours on Thursday. The drop was attributed to concerns about the company&#8217;s continued listing on the NASDAQ exchange. The stock closed at $3.92.
However, the stock made a recovery in after-hours trading, surging by 14% to $4.48. This rebound came after an <a href="https://www.ainvest.com/news/sonnet-biotherapeutics-plunges-18-07-ceo-passing-private-placement-2507/">18.07%</a> plunge earlier in the day, which was attributed to the passing of the company&#8217;s CEO, Pankaj Mohan and a private placement of zero-interest convertible notes, worth $2 million.

Failing to meet the minimum requirement of $2.5 million in stockholders&#8217; equity and alternative thresholds, NASDAQ issued a non-compliance notice to SONN under Rule 5550(b)(1).
Why It Matters: The fluctuation in Sonnet BioTherapeutics&#8217; stock value is not an isolated incident. The healthcare sector has seen several stocks experience significant movements. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/movers/25/07/46255004/12-health-care-stocks-moving-in-thursdays-after-market-session">12 healthcare stocks</a>, including Beta Bionics (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBNX#NASDAQ">BBNX</a>) and Cognition Therapeutics (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CGTX#NASDAQ">CGTX</a>), also experienced notable changes in their stock values on Thursday.
Notably, Sonnet BioTherapeutics&#8217; stock had previously experienced a significant decline in September 2024, following a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41032415/why-sonnet-biotherapeutics-sonn-shares-are-down-19-today">reverse stock split</a> announcement. The company&#8217;s stock fell by 19.9% after the announcement.
Price Action: With a market cap of $12.41 million, SONN closed at $3.92 on July 3, down 5.54% from the previous close of $4.15.  Despite the dip, the stock surged 14.29% after hours to $4.48, suggesting increased investor interest. The rebound after the dip indicates the volatility of shares on Wednesday.
Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings indicate Sonnet BioTherapeutics Holdings has a Momentum in the 94th percentile, here is <a href="http://Sonnet BioTherapeutics Holdings">how the stock fares</a> on other parameters.

Sonnet BioTherapeutics Drops 5% Intraday, Rebounds 14% After Hours Amid Delisting Concerns

Janet Godwin, the CEO of test company ACT, says the best career advice she ever got was to stop scheming about your next promotion and make today's job unmissable.
What Happened: "If you're so busy thinking about what you're going to do next, I guarantee you you're not putting enough energy and time into what you're doing today," the longtime ACT executive recalls advice she once received from her boss as she <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/06/29/act-ceo-janet-godwin-worked-same-company-35-years-long-term-success-not-job-hopping/">spoke</a> to Fortune.
Godwin, now 59 and chief executive of the college-admissions test maker, calls that warning "some of the best advice I ever received as a young employee."
Godwin argues that constant hopping can backfire, leaving résumés rich in titles but thin on mastery. "You need to learn and mature in your current job before you have your eyes set on something else," she said.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/07/46249419/widows-social-security-and-health-insurance-cut-off-all-because-a-death-certificate-took-too-long">Widow&#8217;s Social Security And Health Insurance Cut Off — All Because A Death Certificate Took Too Long</a>
She speaks from one company&#8217;s experience. The former English major joined ACT in 1990, writing test questions, and rotated through nearly every department before becoming CEO in 2020, just days before pandemic lockdowns shuttered test centers. "That's what I mean about being curious. Because if you think you know where you're going to be 10 years from now, you probably don't," she said.
Why It Matters: Despite Godwin&#8217;s view on frequent job switching, research shows Gen Z is approaching corporate life with a vastly different attitude than previous generations. Gen Z has a clear <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/25/06/46129668/gen-zs-gig-economy-mindset-prioritizing-flexibility-skill-development-and-work-life-balance-in-corporate-america">gig economy mindset</a> when it comes to working in corporate America, as noted by experts in a recent report.
Financial influencer Vincent Chan, meanwhile, believes that staying at the same job is the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/45793441/vincent-chan-reveals-the-top-financial-mistake-people-make-64-of-job-hoppers-say-switching-jobs-actually-leveled-up-their-career-faster">biggest financial mistake</a> you can make.

Gen Z Loves Job-Hopping, But This Boss Who Stayed In The Same Company For 35 Says There's An Upside To Staying Put

Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang has added nearly $25 billion to his net worth year to date as the chip giant's market value surges past tech titans to become the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46253485/nvidia-stock-hits-new-all-time-highs-whats-driving-the-record-breaking-run">most valuable company</a> in the world — but he's still trailing just behind former Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) CEO Steve Ballmer.
What Happened: Nvidia hit an all-time high on Thursday, closing with a market capitalization of $3.88 trillion, edging out Microsoft and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) to take the top spot globally.
The rally came amid broader gains across U.S. equity markets, fueled by stronger-than-expected labor market data that eased recession fears.
The Bloomberg Billionaires <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/">Index</a> shows Huang's net worth has grown to $139 billion year-to-date — an increase of $24.8 billion — placing him tenth among the world's richest people.

Trump&#8217;s Next Big Tech Payday Could Be From YouTube After Settling Lawsuits With Meta And X: &#8216;Productive Discussions&#8217; Underway</a>
Former Microsoft chief Ballmer, also benefiting from the tech surge, sits in fifth place with $172 billion, after gaining $25.5 billion this year.
Analysts, including Wedbush Securities&#8217; Dan Ives, predict Nvidia and Microsoft could be the first companies to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46188671/nvidia-microsoft-on-track-to-achieve-4-trillion-market-cap-says-analyst-dan-ives-tech-bull-market-is-still-early">reach a $4 trillion</a> valuation this summer.
The optimism is largely fueled by the global AI boom, in which Nvidia plays a foundational role through its dominance in graphics processing units (GPUs).

Why It's Important: Nvidia's rise reflects broader trends in technology, AI infrastructure and government policy. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46251714/wall-street-today-stock-market-news-thursday-nvidia">House and Senate passed</a> "One Big Beautiful Bill," which increased tax credits for semiconductor manufacturing from 25% to 35% for facilities expanding domestic production by 2026.
The company also stands to benefit from strong technical indicators. The VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH), where Nvidia accounts for over 21%, has formed a "Golden Cross" — a bullish signal suggesting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46230357/nvidia-taiwan-semiconductor-broadcom-drive-chip-stocks-to-a-golden-cross-will-history-repeat-with-145-rally">continued upward momentum</a>.
Price Action: Nvidia shares climbed 1.33% during Thursday's regular session but dipped 0.056% in after-hours trading, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>. The stock is up 15.20% so far this year and has gained 24.21% over the past 12 months.
Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings show that NVDA maintains a solid upward trend across the short, medium and long term. While its value ranking remains relatively weak at 6.92, its momentum and growth scores are strong. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-4/#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">More detailed performance metrics are available here</a>.
