Lam Research shares are trading higher after the company reported better-than-expected Q3 financial results and issued Q4 guidance above estimates.

Ford Motor (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) shares traded higher Wednesday after President Donald Trump indicated tariffs against China may be lowered and trade tensions could de-escalate.
What To Know: According to the <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/white-house-considers-slashing-china-tariffs-to-de-escalate-trade-war-6f875d69">Wall Street Journal</a>, the Trump administration is considering lowering the tariff to between 50% and 65%. The administration could also adopt a tiered approach, with levies varying based on what is considered strategic to America&#8217;s interests.
​Trump stated the final tariff rate won&#8217;t be 0%.
The move comes as part of the White House's effort to de-escalate trade tensions with China. China has signaled it is open to trade talks with the U.S., but not under threats from the administration.
Ford stock may be trading higher as a potential tariff cut eases investor concerns about the negative impact of tariffs on consumer spending.
F Price Action: Ford shares closed Wednesday 1.35% higher at $9.78, according to data from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Elon Musk and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had an argument last Thursday at the White House that turned into a shouting match in front of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44942774/elon-musk-slams-tesla-protesters-says-they-benefited-from-government-waste-and-fraud-he-believes-to-have-cut-via-doge-theyre-the-recipients-of-wasteful-largesse">President Donald Trump.&nbsp;</a>
The Details: According to an Axios <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/04/23/musk-bessent-trump-white-house-irs">report</a>, Musk and Bessent were chest-to-chest while shouting at each other within earshot of President Trump in the West Wing.&nbsp;
Witnesses said the dispute between the men was "quite a scene" and very loud.&nbsp;
&#8220;It was two billionaire, middle-aged men thinking it was WWE in the hall of the West Wing,&#8221; one witness said of the argument last Thursday.

The trouble reportedly began on April 16, when Trump named Gary Shapley as acting commissioner of the IRS. Bessent wanted Deputy Treasury Secretary Michael Faulkender in the position, while Shapley was Musk's choice.&nbsp;
At a meeting in the White House last Thursday, Bessent confronted Musk about going behind his back to have Shapley appointed. A source told Axios that's when &#8220;the F bombs started to fly.&#8221;
Bessent said Musk overpromised and underdelivered on budget cuts with DOGE, and Musk responded by accusing Bessent of having run a &#8220;failed hedge fund&#8221; and calling him a &#8220;Soros agent.&#8221; 
&#8220;It wasn&#8217;t a fight about right or wrong. It was about control,&#8221; an administration official familiar with the disagreement told Axios.&nbsp;
Ultimately, Bessent got his way when on Friday it was reported that Shapley was out as acting commissioner of the IRS and Faulkender was in.
What Else: Musk told Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) analysts and investors on a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44945402/wedbushs-dan-ives-raises-teslas-price-target-to-350-as-musk-promises-to-significantly-reduce-doge-time">conference call</a> Tuesday that he would be spending "significantly" less time at DOGE beginning next month.&nbsp;
It is unclear if his choice is related to the incident with Bessent, other disagreements within the administration or if the CEO just wants to spend more time running his company – but Tesla investors reacted positively to the news that Musk would be less distracted by politics ahead.&nbsp;

Business Outlook Reliance anticipates demand in the second quarter of 2025 will remain stable across the diversified end markets it serves, despite ongoing uncertainty regarding domestic and international economic policy. Accordingly, the Company estimates its tons sold in the second quarter of 2025 will be down 1.0% to up 1.0% compared to the first quarter of 2025, consistent with seasonal trends supported by healthy demand in the non-residential construction market and continued targeted growth efforts to regain market share, and up 3% to 5% compared to the second quarter of 2024.
