The S&P 500 advanced 1.7% on Wednesday, April 23, as comments from the White House pointed to stability at the Fed and the possibility of easing trade tensions.
Antenna and high-speed cable manufacturer Amphenol reported strong quarterly results, and its shares pushed higher.
Enphase Energy shares dropped after the solar technology firm missed quarterly estimates and indicated that tariffs could weigh on its upcoming performance.
Major U.S. equities indexes pushed higher after President Trump indicated that he does not intend to fire Jerome Powell from his role as Federal Reserve chair. White House officials also indicated that the U.S. could adopt a more measured approach to tariffs on imports from China, suggesting a potential easing of trade tensions between the world’s two largest economies.
The S&P 500 added 1.7% in the midweek trading session, while the Dow closed 1.1% higher. The tech-heavy Nasdaq soared 2.5%.
Amphenol (APH), a manufacturer of antennas and high-speed electronic cables, topped revenue and adjusted earnings per share (EPS) estimates in its first-quarter earnings report. The company also provided an upbeat forecast for the current quarter, noting opportunities across end markets and highlighting how innovation and strategic acquisitions have helped expand its product offering. Amphenol shares surged 8.2% to secure the top performance in the S&P 500 on Wednesday.
The technology sector outperformed on Wednesday, bolstered by increased optimism for improvements in the U.S.-China trade relationship. Super Micro Computer (SMCI) announced an expansion of its collaboration with Japanese tech firm Fujitsu, which will deploy a new Supermicro server as part of its large language model (LLM) project. Supermicro shares jumped 7.6%.
Meanwhile, Palantir Technologies (PLTR) shares gained 7.3%. The data analytics software firm said it will partner with defense contractor Northrop Grumman (NOC) to develop combat vehicles that leverage artificial intelligence (AI) technology. Northrop Grumman shares edged 1.9% higher on Wednesday, marking a minor recovery from the heavy decline posted in the prior session following a lackluster earnings report.
Shares of solar technology firm Enphase Energy (ENPH) plunged 15.7%, losing the most of any S&P 500 stock. The company posted lower-than-expected sales and profits for the first quarter, and Enphase’s CEO noted that tariffs could weigh on future results. In particular, the company sources battery cell packs from China and anticipates that levies on these imports will pressure its gross margins in upcoming quarters.
Although heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) specialist Lennox International (LII) topped quarterly sales and profit estimates, its full-year guidance fell short of consensus forecasts, and its shares fell 9.0%. The CEO stressed that Lennox is adapting to the challenging economic environment with pricing adjustments as it aims to maintain the stability of its supply chain.
Shares of oilfield services and energy technology firm Baker Hughes (BKR) sank 6.4% on Wednesday following a mixed quarterly earnings release. Although profits topped forecasts, revenues came in below expectations. The company faces an uncertain macroeconomic backdrop and softness in oil prices that could hinder its clients’ production activities.
Editor’s Note: As the persistent volatility on Wall Street has made clear, yesterday’s winners can become tomorrow’s disappointments in a flash.
But what if you had the power to see the markets 30 days into the future?
Well, our corporate partner TradeSmith has developed a cutting-edge AI system – An-E, short for Analytical Engine – that can offer such clarity. Trained on 1.3 quadrillion data points and more than 50,000 backtests, An-E is able to forecast the price movements of thousands of stocks, ETFs, and funds 30 days into the future.
Such precise, high-confidence projections give investors a powerful edge on the markets, allowing them to adapt faster, limit losses, and get positioned for gains – no matter the macro backdrop.
TradeSmith just showcased this powerful new tool last week during The AI Predictive Power Event. If you missed that special broadcast, there’s still time to learn more about this technology in action – but only until midnight tonight, Wednesday, April 23. (Click here to watch the replay while you can.)
Today, we’re joined by TradeSmith CEO Keith Kaplan to discuss just how this AI breakthrough is changing the game for everyday investors. Take it away, Keith!
This week is a big one for sports fans: It’s time for the 2025 NFL Draft.
Starting on Thursday, 32 teams will look for the missing pieces that’ll put them on a path to the Super Bowl.
The evaluations that each team uses to create its “draft board” consist of both old-school inputs (such as college game tapes, 40-yard dash times, and pre-draft meetings) and new-school analytics (such as the S2 cognition test, which gauges how quickly and accurately a player can see order in the chaos that’s part and parcel of the football gridiron).
The more information you have, the more likely you’ll snag a generational talent and avoid the draft-day “busts” that’ll set you back years… and put your team on those “biggest-missteps-of-all-time” lists that never seem to go away.
Investing is a lot like the NFL Draft.
You want to stuff your portfolio with generational winners – and you want to avoid the big losers that’ll grind your ego for years.
Information is the great differentiator. And the “right” information – analyzed correctly and in a timely manner – is what will separate you from everyone else.
When you get right down to it, that’s what we’re all about at TradeSmith.
Our pioneering analytics zero in on the information that matters. And we create systems that help you “draft” the right stocks, assets, or trading opportunities at just the right time.
We package that into products that meet different objectives.
And we’ve done it again, with an artificial intelligence-powered trading algorithm we’ve nicknamed An-E (short for Analytical Engine).
This AI system performs a very powerful task: After analyzing thousands of key data points, it creates a projection of where a stock will be trading in a short period of time…
Online shopping has largely made visiting a physical store irrelevant – and sometimes, a downright pain.
Why spend gas money driving to a store for one item and hoping it isn’t out of stock when you can have it delivered to your doorstep with just a few mouse clicks?
Walmart has clearly had that in mind. The company has upgraded its delivery system, rivaling Amazon’s same-day drop-off fame and ensuring better, faster, and smarter shopping for its customers.
Walmart is well-known as the “everything” store. Whether it’s a last-minute potluck snack, garden shears, a pack of batteries for the new toy your grandkid just got, or even paint to update the living room, Walmart has always been a one-stop shop.
More, Walmart – along with other retailers – has been oversold in the fallout since President Trump’s new tariff plan announcement. It’s down from its highs, but it has established a historical price floor, so it’s reasonable to expect the share price to increase over a shorter period of time.
Walmart is just one of many examples of how An-E can help you spot high-potential opportunities hiding in plain sight. With powerful, time-sensitive forecasts, you can act with more confidence – just like an NFL team that’s done its homework and knows exactly how to draft.
And in investing, success comes down to picking winners and avoiding costly mistakes.
With An-E, you can get data-driven stock forecasts to help you make smarter, more timely decisions. It’s like having your own draft board for the market – so you can build a portfolio of champions.
Making This AI System Work for You
Last week, we revealed An-E in action in a special event.
During the event, we showed even more of An-E’s remarkable capabilities and how everyday folks can use these projections to target winners and avoid losers to make huge money in the markets, completely rewriting their financial future.
It was an incredible presentation, one of the biggest in TradeSmith history…
In fact, it was so remarkable, we believe this way of investing (using forecasts from AI rather than brokers, financial analysts, Wall Street, or the media), will change the entire financial industry for the better.
After that, I can’t promise you’ll ever see it again.
With all the market turmoil in recent weeks and more uncertainty up ahead, it pays to have an edge in the market.
An-E can help you have that edge. So, go here now to see this AI system in action – and learn how to make this incredible tech work for you – before it’s too late.
Uncertainty about tariffs became “pervasive” among business and community leaders around the country in April, according to a report by the Federal Reserve.
Business leaders said uncertainty is making it hard to invest and plan for the future.
The report highlighted the “on the ground” consequences of President Donald Trump’s rapidly shifting trade war.
Everyone is talking about tariffs, and no one quite knows what to make of them.
That’s according to the Federal Reserve’s “Beige Book” published Wednesday. The report showed that among business and community leaders around the country, uncertainty about tariffs intensified in April as President Donald Trump steered his trade war in unpredictable directions. Some businesses braced for price increases from the import taxes, some prepared for layoffs, and some found themselves unable to make plans.
The Beige Book, a compilation of reports from business, nonprofit, and community leaders in local Fed districts around the country, gave a snapshot of how Trump’s trade policies are affecting Main Street.
“Economic activity was little changed since the previous report, but uncertainty around international trade policy was pervasive across reports,” Fed economists wrote.
April’s report showed worries about tariffs have ramped up from an already high level in March. The reports mentioned “uncertainty” or a variation 89 times in April, up from 47 in March. “Tariffs” came up 107 times, up from 49. By contrast, in April 2024, when tariffs were just a gleam in then-candidate Trump’s eye, “uncertainty” came up 13 times and tariffs not at all.
Experts have long warned that Trump’s on-again, off-again campaign of imposing import taxes could stifle the economy by forcing businesses to delay making investments, and the report showed that those warnings are starting to come true, especially in the Richmond district.
“Several contacts put investments on hold due to increased uncertainty,” the report said. “A military equipment manufacturer reported conditions being ‘too chaotic’ to make any decisions on future investments.”
In Atlanta, “Contacts in lumber and wood products manufacturing experienced slowing demand amid ambiguity surrounding tariffs—one firm noted having ‘zero faith in even a 6-month forecast,’ and that the biggest hurdle to expansion and mergers and acquisitions was not knowing how trade policy will settle out.”
It was the same story all across the country, with people in the construction and real estate business in Minnesota telling the Fed: “New projects have dried up completely in the first quarter. …Uncertainty and chaos at the federal level has frozen pretty much all activity.” Another said “clients are hesitant to proceed with design until some sort of certainty and predictability comes back.”
You want to stuff your portfolio with generational winners – and avoid the big losers that’ll grind your ego for years…
Editor’s Note:As the NFL Draft captures the spotlight this week, we’re spotlighting a different kind of draft strategy… one for your portfolio.
Investing, like football, comes down to preparation, precision, and making the right picks. That is why it’s so important to have access to timely and accurate data.
Enter An-E, an AI-powered algorithm developed by our corporate partners at Tradesmith.
An-E scans thousands of data points to forecast short-term stock movements. Built in-house using machine learning models trained on over 1.3 quadrillion data points and 50,000+ backtests, An-E can help you see what stocks could go up or down within a 30-day projection. An-E projects the share price on thousands of stocks, funds, and ETFs one month into the future.
So, you can think of An-E as your personal draft board for the market, helping you pick potential winners and dodge the duds.
But hurry, the replay is only available until midnight tonight.
Today, Keith is joining us to showcase more of An-E’s predictive power… and how investors can use it to build a portfolio of champions. Take it away…

Customer support response times
Faster help channels like 24/7 live chat greatly improve the online gaming experience should issues arise.
The bottom line

The White House says it is close to trade deals with several countries. These deals will likely result in lower tariffs than those announced at the beginning of April.
However, the administration could be faced with a time crunch in the coming weeks as it negotiates with at least 57 countries.
Trump could always change his mind in the meantime, and even if tariffs remain where they are right now, the economy faces
Tariffs could moderate, if new comments by President Donald Trump and the White House are any indication.
Trump and his trade advisors are negotiating trade deals with dozens of countries. Those deals will likely end with lower tariffs than are currently on the table; under the paused “reciprocal” tariffs, import duties of up to 50% were charged on nearly 60 countries. (Tariffs on Chinese goods, which are not eligible for the pause, are even higher when taken in conjunction with the president’s other actions, totaling 145% imposed this year.)
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a briefing Tuesday that 18 trade proposals from other countries were “on paper” and 34 countries were meeting with White House representatives this week. Trump told reporters later in the day that tariffs on China “will come down substantially, but it won’t be zero.”
All told, it’s possible that the highest tariffs are behind the U.S. There are, however, some caveats.
Lots of Countries to Deal With And Not a Lot of Time
The White House has 11 weeks to negotiate trade agreements with at least 57 countries to avoid reinstating the highest tariffs imposed thus far. Trump’s 90-day pause on “reciprocal” tariffs gives governments until July 9 to reach a deal.
That could be a challenge. Trade deals have, on average, taken 18 months to negotiate and 45 days to implement. Trump’s trade advisors maintain that making up to 90 deals in 90 days is possible.
Trump Has Changed His Mind Before
The on-again, off-again nature of Trump’s trade policies thus far has economists and analysts unsure whether this latest pullback on the most extreme tariffs will last.
Even lower tariffs could slow economic growth and spur inflation, economists said.
During the pause, 10% universal tariffs are imposed on goods from most countries. That’s in addition to a 145% tariff on China, 25% tariff on non-USMCA goods from Canada and Mexico and industry-specific tariffs that went into effect earlier in the year.
On average, the tariff rate on goods coming into the country is about 20%, economists say. That’s nearly 10 times more than the average tariff at the end of last year.
So even if lower rates are negotiated, widespread tariffs could still take a significant financial toll on U.S. consumers and the economy.
The United States Mint has released images of its upcoming 2025 Superman coin and silver medals, marking the debut of its new Comic Art Coin and Medal Program. This initiative, developed in collaboration with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, celebrates iconic superheroes and aims to engage a broader audience in numismatics.
U.S. Mint images of its 2025 Superman Gold Coin and Silver Medals
The unveiling coincides with Tuesday’s ceremonial striking of the first Superman silver medal at the U.S. Mint and highlights the inaugural release, which features Superman in a variety of collectibles:
A 1/2-ounce $50 gold coin (.9999 fine / 24-karat)
2.5-ounce and 1-ounce silver medals (.999 fine)
1.2-inch clad medals
All items will be produced in a proof finish, showcasing high-quality craftsmanship.
Designs for the Superman coin and medals were reviewed by the Commission of Fine Arts (CFA) on Sept. 19 and the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) on Sept. 24. Both panels approved the Mint’s submissions, offering minor suggestions for refinement.
The obverse (heads side), created by U.S. Mint Chief Engraver Joseph Menna, depicts Superman flying over his family farm, symbolizing the values instilled in him by his adoptive parents, Martha and Jonathan Kent. Inscriptions include “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and “2025” (gold coin); “LIBERTY” and “2025” (silver medals); and “LIBERTY” (clad medal).
“As both the Chief Engraver and a lifelong comic book fan, it’s my greatest pleasure to see the Superman medal struck,” Menna said. “The Superman medal represents the strength we have in all of us, that we can all be Super Heroes.”
The reverse (tails side), designed by Mint Medallic Artist Joseph V. Norwegian, portrays a young Clark Kent contemplating his future, with his father looking on, highlighting the duality of Superman’s identity. Inscriptions include “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” “$50,” “½ oz.” “.9999 fine gold” (gold coin); “LIBERTY” and “2025” (silver medals); and “SUPERMAN, HOPE, AND STRENGTH” (clad medal).
The U.S. Mint’s Comic Art series plans to feature three DC characters annually over three years, totaling nine designs. Alongside Superman – whose gold coin and silver medals are scheduled for release this summer – the first-year lineup will include depictions of Batman (see Batman recommended designs) and Wonder Woman (see Wonder Woman recommended designs).
Each year’s releases will include gold and silver versions, with matching clad medals likely issued the following year. All gold coins and silver medals will be accompanied by a serialized Certificate of Authenticity. The Mint has previously indicated that the gold coin and larger 2.5-ounce silver medal will likely have mintage limits and restricted availability, while the 1-ounce silver and clad medals are expected to have no such limits on mintage or sales duration.
These initial releases set the stage for future entries in the Comic Art series, offering a unique blend of numismatic artistry and pop culture tribute.
Tesla shares jumped Wednesday morning, despite the EV maker’s first-quarter results missing analysts’ estimates.
CEO Elon Musk said in Tuesday’s earnings call that he will scale back his government work starting next month, and that plans for a cheaper Tesla model and fully self-driving vehicles remain on track.
Longtime Tesla bull Dan Ives of Wedbush raised his price target for Tesla’s stock following what he called a “pivotal conference call for Musk to turn the corner from this dark chapter.”
Tesla (TSLA) shares climbed Wednesday as investors focused on comments from Tuesday’s earnings call rather than the electric vehicle maker’s disappointing first-quarter results.
Tesla’s earnings came in well short of estimates, with automotive revenue falling 20% year-over-year as Tesla’s sales were hurt amid a political backlash to CEO Elon Musk’s involvement in the Trump administration.
However, Musk said in Tuesday’s earnings call that he will start scaling back his government work next month. Musk also said plans for a cheaper Tesla model and fully self-driving vehicles remain on track.
Longtime Tesla bull Dan Ives of Wedbush raised his price target for Tesla’s stock to $350 from $315 following what he called a “pivotal conference call for Musk to turn the corner from this dark chapter.” Meanwhile, Morgan Stanley, Deutsche Bank, and Bank of America analysts reiterated their price targets of $410, $345, and $305, respectively.
Shares of Tesla were up nearly 6% at $251.41 in early trading Wednesday, amid broader market gains after comments from President Trump eased worries about tariffs and Federal Reserve independence. Still, the stock has lost over a third of its value since the start of the year.
Intel shares rose Wednesday, following a report the struggling chipmaker is planning to cut more than 20% of its staff.
The layoffs are part of Intel’s bid to streamline its operations, Bloomberg reported, citing a person with knowledge of the matter.
Intel is set to report quarterly earnings after markets close on Thursday, in what will mark its first report since CEO Lip-Bu Tan took the helm last month.
Intel (INTC) shares surged Wednesday, following a report the struggling chipmaker could announce plans this week to reduce more than 20% of its staff.
The layoffs are part of Intel’s bid to streamline its operations, Bloomberg reported, citing a person with knowledge of the matter, and would mark the first major effort to do so since CEO Lip-Bu Tan took over running the company last month.
Intel declined to comment on the report.
Intel in August had announced a plan to lay off 15% of its workforce as part of a $10 billion cost-savings plan. The U.S. chipmaker is slated to report quarterly earnings after markets close on Thursday, also its first report since Tan took the helm.
Tan had replaced Pat Gelsinger, who retired late last year after failing to turn around the U.S. chipmaker. Under Gelsinger, Intel’s manufacturing business struggled to compete with global players like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSM).
Intel shares were up over 6% in early trading Wednesday, but have lost about 40% of their value in the past 12 months. (Read Investopedia’s live coverage of today’s market action here.)
