Pre-Market Futures Have Fingers Crossed for Trade Deals
Tuesday, June 10, 2025Pre-market futures are climbing back to early-morning highs at this hour, as the most consequential of new economic reports don't hit the tape until tomorrow and Thursday. Talks resume today in London between the U.S. and China, and a breakthrough on that front in the trade war would be a compelling reason to drive markets the other hand, any reported impasses on this front might be seen as a wet blanket for market growth. We can see by the generally positive daily returns this month that market participants are ready to hear some good news: the Dow is up +2.5% off late-May lows, the S&P is +3.4% over that time, the Nasdaq is +4.2% and the small-cap Russell 2000 +5.3%.Earlier this morning, the latest NFIB Small-Business Index came out for the month of May, looking better than it has in the previous couple months. A headline of 98.8 was 3 points higher than anticipated (95.9 was the consensus estimate), just above the index's long-term average, which reaches back 51 years. The 12 month high was back in December, when this index reached those small-business owners surveyed, uncertainty was still high — likely reflecting the still-murky tariff policy looking forward. We're now within the final month of the 90-day tariff pause, with so far very little progress made. That said, a plurality of owners said taxes, not tariffs or inflation, are the biggest problem facing their businesses currently — 18%. The last time the survey named taxes as the top issue was back in morning brings us the all-important Consumer Price Index (CPI) for May, which is expected to rise steadily month over month by +0.2% and +0.3% on core (stripping out volatile food & energy costs), while the year-over-year Inflation Rate is expected to tick up 10 basis points (bps) to +2.4%, core year over year to +2.9%.Thursday's Producer Price Index (PPI) reported those same +2.4% and +2.9% on core year-over-year rates last month for the wholesale side. Expectations are for month-over-month headline PPI to swing back to positive +0.2% from April's -0.5%, with core expected to fetch +0.3% growth last month, from -0.1% of these would be bad numbers — and there is always a possibility they could surprise to the downside, which would be good for disinflationary aspirations. But should these figures come in as expected, at levels still above the Fed's optimal +2% inflation rate and moving the wrong direction, you can write it in ink that the Fed will not cut interest rates at its next FOMC meeting starting a week from fact, despite early-year projections that the economy would be in a good place to start cutting rates this month, currently it's September that's the odds-on favorite for the first 25 bps rate cut this year. Also, more analysts and economists are projecting no new moves from the Fed's current +4.25-4.50%, which has been in place from December, for the entirety of or comments about this article and/or author?

Warren Buffett Said Apple's Steve Jobs Asked, What Should We Do With 'All This Cash'? — Then Did Nothing That Buffett Told Him What to Do
Long before Warren Buffett became one of Apple's (NASDAQ:APPL) biggest shareholders, he had a rare one-on-one with the company's legendary co-founder—and offered up a piece of financial advice Steve Jobs simply... ignored. In a 2012 interview with CNBC, Buffett shared a surprising weekend phone call he received "one Saturday" from Jobs himself. The Apple CEO opened with a now-iconic question: "We've got all this cash. What should we do with it?" Don't Miss: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — 'Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. Buffett, never short on ideas when it comes to cash, walked Jobs through the standard playbook. "There's only four things you could do," Buffett told CNBC. "Stock buybacks, dividends, acquisitions... and sitting with it." Jobs ruled out acquisitions. He wasn't interested. Buffett then pivoted to buybacks. "I would use it for repurchases if I thought my stock was undervalued," Buffett said he told Jobs. "How do you feel about that?" Jobs didn't hesitate. "I think our stock's really undervalued," he replied. It was trading around $200. Buffett's follow-up was blunt: "Well, you know, what better can you do with your money?" Trending: Maximize saving for your retirement and cut down on taxes: . But Jobs didn't act. "He didn't do anything," Buffett said. "He just liked having the cash." Buffett later learned Jobs had apparently told others that Buffett agreed with doing nothing. "That was not the case," Buffett added with a laugh. Jobs passed away in 2011, and it wasn't until 2012 under Tim Cook's leadership that Apple began a massive buyback program. Over the next decade, Apple would go on to repurchase more than $467 billion in shares—one of the most aggressive capital return programs in corporate history. Buffett, for his part, didn't start buying Apple until Q1 2016, years after that Saturday phone call. At the time, Apple stock traded at about 10 times trailing earnings. Buffett admitted he didn't know much about iPhones, but he understood customer loyalty—and Apple had plenty of it. It paid off. By 2025, Apple is Berkshire Hathaway's largest holding, with about 300 million shares in the portfolio. Even after trimming the position in 2024, it still makes up roughly a quarter of Berkshire's equity has repeatedly praised Tim Cook's leadership. At Berkshire Hathaway's (NYSE:BRK, BRK.B)) 2025 annual shareholders meeting, he stated, "I'm somewhat embarrassed to say Tim Cook has made Berkshire a lot more money than I've ever made for Berkshire." He added, "Nobody but Steve could have created Apple, but nobody but Tim could have developed it like it has." So, what happens when the Oracle of Omaha gives you advice and you ignore it? In Apple's case, things still turned out just fine. But if Jobs had listened back then, Apple might've gotten a head start on making shareholders very, very happy—with no new product launch required.
