European trade ministers pledge unity after Trump's surprise 30% tariffs
BRUSSELS (AP) — European trade ministers were hopeful Monday for a negotiated trade deal after President Donald Trump announced 30% tariffs on the European Unio n, but also expressed resolve in preparing countermeasures if talks break down. The ministers met Monday in Brussels following Trump's surprise announcement of such hefty tariffs, which could have repercussions for governments, companies and consumers on both sides of the Atlantic. The EU is America's biggest business partner and the world's largest trading bloc. 'The EU remains ready to react and that includes robust and proportionate countermeasures if required and there was a strong, feeling in the room of unity," Denmark's foreign minister, Lars Løkke Rasmussen, told reporters after the meeting. The tariffs, also announced for Mexico, are set to start on Aug. 1 and could make everything from French cheese and Italian leather goods to German electronics and Spanish pharmaceuticals more expensive in the U.S., and destabilize economies from Portugal to Norway. Meanwhile, Brussels decided to suspend retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods scheduled to take effect Monday in hopes of reaching a trade deal with the Trump administration by the end of the month. The 'countermeasures' by the EU, which negotiates trade deals on behalf of its 27 member countries, will be delayed until Aug. 1. Trump's letter shows 'that we have until the first of August' to negotiate, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told reporters in Brussels on Sunday. Maroš Šefčovič, the EU's trade representative in its talks with the U.S., said negotiations would continue Monday. 'I'm absolutely 100% sure that a negotiated solution is much better than the tension which we might have after the 1st of August," he told reporters in Brussels on Monday. But he added that 'we must be prepared for all outcomes.' 'I cannot imagine walking away without genuine effort. Having said that, the current uncertainty caused by unjustified tariffs cannot persist indefinitely and therefore we must prepare for all outcomes, including, if necessary, well-considered proportionate countermeasures to restore the balance in our transit static relationship.' The letters to the EU and Mexico come in the midst of an on-and-off Trump threat to impose tariffs on countries and right an imbalance in trade. Trump imposed tariffs in April on dozens of countries, before pausing them for 90 days to negotiate individual deals. As the three-month grace period ended this week, he began sending tariff letters to leaders, but again has pushed back the implementation day for what he says will be just a few more weeks. If he moves forward with the tariffs, it could have ramifications for nearly every aspect of the global economy. The American Chamber of Commerce in the European Union, an influential industry group representing major American corporations in Europe, said the tariffs could 'generate damaging ripple effects across all sectors of the EU and US economies' and praised the EU's delay of countermeasures. In the wake of the new tariffs, European leaders largely closed ranks, calling for unity but also a steady hand to not provoke further acrimony. Just last week, Europe was cautiously optimistic. Officials told reporters on Friday they weren't expecting a letter like the one sent Saturday and that a trade deal was to be inked in 'the coming days." For months, the EU has broadcast that it has strong retaliatory measures ready if talks fail. Reeling from successive rebukes from Washington, Šefčovič said Monday the EU is 'doubling down on efforts to open new markets' and pointed to a new economic agreement with Indonesia as one. The EU top brass will visit Beijing fora summit later this month while courting other Pacific nations like South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Singapore, the Philippines, and Indonesia, whose prime minister visited Brussels over the weekend to sign a new economic partnership with the EU. It also has mega-deals in the works with Mexico and a trading bloc of South American nations known as Mercosur, and Šefčovič will meet with his counterpart from the United Arab Emirates next week.

Can Robinhood Stock Hit $112 in 2025?
Earlier this month, shares of financial technology company Robinhood Markets (HOOD) crossed the triple-digit mark for the first time, hitting a fresh all-time high and turning heads across Wall Street. The rally stemmed from a calculated leap into the world of tokenized assets. Robinhood introduced tokenized stocks for its European clientele, giving them access to more than 200 U.S. securities, including exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and even private firms like SpaceX. The move signaled a larger shift in Robinhood's strategy to tap into a high-potential, rapidly growing financial frontier. Shopify Stock is a Bargain - How to Make a 3.2% One-Month Yield with SHOP Tariffs, Inflation and Other Key Things to Watch this Week Stocks Set to Open Lower as Trump Ratchets Up Tariff Threats, U.S. Inflation Data and Big Bank Earnings Awaited Our exclusive Barchart Brief newsletter is your FREE midday guide to what's moving stocks, sectors, and investor sentiment - delivered right when you need the info most. Subscribe today! The company's shift toward next-gen digital products has created fresh momentum, supported by a wave of price target upgrades. Notably, Bank of America analyst Craig Siegenthaler raised his forecast for trading activity related to equity and options across Robinhood's platform. The upgrade followed a sharp rise in dip-buying by retail investors during the second quarter. In this environment, Robinhood has begun to look less like a disruptor and more like a serious contender. Robinhood stands as one of the most closely watched names in the fintech space. With a market capitalization of $87 billion, it has built a product suite that stretches well beyond commission-free trading. Its offerings now span across Robinhood Crypto, Custody, Wallet, Gold, and the newly launched Gold Card, creating a comprehensive ecosystem for modern investors. Over the past 52-weeks, HOOD has delivered a jaw-dropping 346% return, a performance that has turned it into one of the standout movers in the broader market. In just the last three months alone, the stock has surged 125%, handily outperforming the S&P 500 Index's ($SPX) 17% gain during the same period. HOOD stock currently trades at a forward adjusted earnings multiple of 79 times and a sales multiple of 29 times. These figures sit well above industry averages and reflect the market's strong belief in Robinhood's pricing power and growth trajectory. Robinhood revealed its Q1 2025 earnings on April 30, delivering results that topped Wall Street's expectations. The company's robust performance stemmed from rapid product rollouts and increased engagement from its active trader base. Total net revenue jumped 50% year-over-year (YOY) to $927 million, surpassing analyst estimates of $915.7 million. Breaking it down, transaction-based revenues climbed 77% to $583 million. This was fueled by stronger revenues from options, equities, and cryptocurrencies. Net interest revenue climbed 14% to $290 million. Meanwhile, other revenues surged 54% to $54 million, primarily due to a 90% growth in Robinhood Gold subscriptions, which reached 3.2 million during the quarter. Average revenue per user rose 39% to $145, showcasing growing monetization across the platform. Adjusted EBITDA rose 90% to $470 million, reflecting improved operational leverage. Net income also saw a healthy increase of 114% YOY to $336 million. Meanwhile, EPS grew 106% from the prior-year period to $0.37, beating analyst forecasts of $0.33. The strong results were supported by new features aimed at active traders and the rapid growth in Gold subscriptions, which boosted transaction revenues and wallet share. Looking ahead, Robinhood plans to expand its financial ecosystem with upcoming launches in banking, advisory services, and international markets. Analysts forecast Q2 2025 EPS growth of 38%, reaching $0.29. For the full fiscal year 2025, EPS is expected to grow 14% to $1.25. Projections for fiscal 2026 show continued momentum with the bottom line climbing 22% to $1.53. Analysts have responded to HOOD stock's momentum with a slate of optimistic price targets. Citigroup analyst Christopher Allen has placed the stock at $100, while Barclays analyst Benjamin Budish has a $102 target. Will Nance of Goldman Sachs takes it further at $104, and KeyBanc's Alex Markgraff leads the upper tier with a target of $110. Currently, the stock carries a 'Moderate Buy' rating. Of the 21 analysts covering HOOD, 12 have a 'Strong Buy' rating, two recommend a 'Moderate Buy,' six suggest to 'Hold," and one analyst remains bearish with a 'Strong Sell' rating. The stock is already trading above its average price target. However, the Street-high target comes from Bank of America's Craig Siegenthaler, who forecasts the stock climbing 14% from current levels to $112. With growth expectations anchored in both product innovation and rising user monetization, analysts appear confident that HOOD stock's momentum is far from exhausted.

Options Signal More Earnings Season Swings on Tariff Turmoil
The looming impacts of tariffs will be in focus for a second-straight earnings season, prompting investors to position for more volatility. Trade tensions have ratcheted up again as US President Donald Trump threatens higher levies on a slew of trading partners — including 50% on Brazil and 30% on the European Union — and claims no extensions will be granted for the latest Aug. 1 deadline. Given the past months' drama over tariffs, the renewed uncertainty may continue to hinder some companies' ability to offer forward guidance.
