S&P 500 Tumbles as Tariff War Ignites Growth Fears

S&P 500 Tumbles as Tariff War Ignites Growth Fears

Bloomberg03-04-2025

US stocks tumbled Thursday, sending the S&P 500 Index back into correction territory to erase nearly $2 trillion in value as President Donald Trump's drastic new trade tariffs ignited widespread recession fears and left investors seeking out safe-haven bonds and the yen.
The American equities benchmark plunged over 3% — following global markets sharply lower from Tokyo to London — and putting it on course for its biggest drop since September 2022. The Nasdaq 100 Index sank nearly 4%, driven by Apple Inc. 's 8.2% loss, the biggest laggard among the Magnificent Seven stocks. Stocks tied to the economy's health fell, with Nvidia Corp., Micron Technology Inc. and Dell Technologies Inc. all trading lower. Automakers General Motors Co. and Ford Motor Co. each fell while Nike Inc. dropped 11%.

Anteris Technologies Global (ASX:AVR) investors are sitting on a loss of 66% if they invested three years ago

If you are building a properly diversified stock portfolio, the chances are some of your picks will perform badly. Long term Anteris Technologies Global Corp. (ASX:AVR) shareholders know that all too well, since the share price is down considerably over three years. Regrettably, they have had to cope with a 66% drop in the share price over that period. And more recent buyers are having a tough time too, with a drop of 62% in the last year. The falls have accelerated recently, with the share price down 35% in the last three months. So let's have a look and see if the longer term performance of the company has been in line with the underlying business' progress. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. Anteris Technologies Global isn't currently profitable, so most analysts would look to revenue growth to get an idea of how fast the underlying business is growing. When a company doesn't make profits, we'd generally hope to see good revenue growth. That's because it's hard to be confident a company will be sustainable if revenue growth is negligible, and it never makes a profit. In the last three years Anteris Technologies Global saw its revenue shrink by 24% per year. That means its revenue trend is very weak compared to other loss making companies. Arguably, the market has responded appropriately to this business performance by sending the share price down 18% (annualized) in the same time period. Bagholders or 'baggies' are people who buy more of a stock as the price collapses. They are then left 'holding the bag' if the shares turn out to be worthless. After losing money on a declining business with falling stock price, we always consider whether eager bagholders are still offering us a reasonable exit price. The image below shows how earnings and revenue have tracked over time (if you click on the image you can see greater detail). Balance sheet strength is crucial. It might be well worthwhile taking a look at our free report on how its financial position has changed over time. While the broader market gained around 14% in the last year, Anteris Technologies Global shareholders lost 62%. Even the share prices of good stocks drop sometimes, but we want to see improvements in the fundamental metrics of a business, before getting too interested. On the bright side, long term shareholders have made money, with a gain of 8% per year over half a decade. It could be that the recent sell-off is an opportunity, so it may be worth checking the fundamental data for signs of a long term growth trend. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important. For instance, we've identified 5 warning signs for Anteris Technologies Global (3 don't sit too well with us) that you should be aware of.

The Swiss franc gained about 0.5% to 0.8060 per U.S. dollar, and fellow safe haven the yen appreciated 0.4% to 142.89 per dollar. Israel has begun carrying out strikes on Iran, two U.S. officials told Reuters on Thursday, adding there was no U.S. assistance or involvement in the operation.

Public Lands Sell Off Back in Budget Bill

Public Lands Sell Off Back in Budget Bill originally appeared on BikeMag. The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee has added pubic land sales back into President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the administration's budget reconciliation bill that is before the Senate. The new provision would place 3 million acres of Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service Land on the market, with state and tribal entities having first right of refusal before being offered for sale to private entities. The new amendment echoes an earlier proposal put forth by the House Natural Resources Committee that was removed before the House passed the bill. That amendment would have placed 500,000 acres of public land in Utah and Nevada on the open market, including land adjacent to Zion National Monument and the Hurricane Cliffs Trail System in Utah that is popular with mountain bikers. The new amendment greatly increases the acreage to be sold and expands the sale to all western states where the BLM and USFS manage public land, except for committee, chaired by Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), estimates the provision would generate up to $29 billion in revenue for the federal government by way of public land sales, mining and geothermal energy revenue, timber sales and the cancellation of funds for National Park Service employees and conservation programs. Subtitle C—Lands Requires the prudent sale of certain Bureau of Land Management and National Forest System land for housing, increased timber sales, geothermal leasing, and compensation of states and localities for the cost of wind and solar projects on federal land. Section__0301. Mandatory Prudent Sale of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Land and National Forest System Land for Housing. Directs BLM to dispose of 0.5-0.75% of certain BLM land and the Forest Service to dispose of 0.5-0.75% of certain National Forest System Land to address the housing crisis. This section also appropriates $5 million to the Secretary of the Interior and $5 million to the Secretary of Agriculture, acting through the Chief of the Forest Service, to carry out this section. Section__0302. Timber Sales and Long-Term Contracting for the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management. • Timber Sales on Public Domain Forest Reserves. Requires the Forest Service to sell an annual quantity of timber that is 250 million board feet greater than what was sold in the previous fiscal year through fiscal year 2034 on forest reserves created from the public domain. • Long-Term Contracts for the Forest Service. Requires the Forest Service to enter into at least 40 long-term contracts for timber sales with private or public persons or entities for timber sales in the National Forest System between fiscal years 2025 and 2034. Revenue from these specific contracts would go to the general fund of the Treasury. • Timber Sales on Public Lands. Directs the Secretary of the Interior, acting through the Director of BLM, to sell an annual quantity of timber that is 20 million board feet greater than what was sold in the previous fiscal year through fiscal year 2034. • Long-Term Contracts for the Bureau of Land Management. Requires BLM to enter into at least 5 long-term contracts with private or public persons or entities for the disposal of vegetative materials on public lands. Revenue from these specific contracts would go to the general fund of the Treasury. Section__0303. Renewable Energy Fees on Federal Land. Adjusts rents and fees for wind and solar projects developed and operating on Federal Land and removes the Secretary's discretion to reduce such fees. Section__0304. Renewable Energy Revenue Sharing. Requires that of the revenue collected from renewable energy projects on public land, 25 percent shall be paid from the Treasury to the State where the revenue was derived, and 25 percent shall be allocated to the counties where the revenue was derived based on the percentage of county land on which the project is located. Section__0305. Geothermal Lease Sales. Requires BLM to hold annual lease sales, which is not required at present. Section__0306. Geothermal Royalties. Clarifies that geothermal royalties are tied to the facility generating the electricity. Section__0307. Rescission of National Park Service and Bureau of Land Management Funds. Rescinds the remaining funds for the following programs created by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and made available to the National Park Service (NPS) and Bureau of Land Management (BLM): 1. SEC. 50221. National Parks and Public Lands Conservation and Resilience. 2. SEC. 50222. National Parks and Public Lands Conservation and Ecosystem Restoration. 3. SEC. 50223. National Parks Service Employees. Section__0308. Celebrating America's 250th Anniversary. Provides funding for the Secretary of the Interior to establish and maintain a statuary park named the National Garden of American Heroes and for events, celebrations, and activities related to the 250th anniversary of America's founding. The new Senate amendment would sell off 0.5 to 0.75 percent of public land overseen by the BLM and USFS nationally, except in Montana. The BLM oversees 245 million acres, and the USFS oversees 193 million acres, mostly in the West. On the high side, if included and passed, the amendment could see 3.29 million acres of land pass from public to private ownership. The amendment exempts lands within national parks, national monuments, wilderness areas, national recreation areas, as well as land with mining claims, grazing permits, mineral leases and right-of-ways. However, a Justice Department legal opinion released June 10 states that the administration could revoke national monument status from lands created under previous administrations. Supporters of the amendment say that affordable housing could be built on former public land. Those opposed, including Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-NM), a ranking Democrat on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, say the amendment will only benefit wealthy private investors while reducing outdoor recreation opportunities, including mountain biking. The bill is currently being debated in the Senate and will come to a vote after any changes are made and Republicans are confident the bill will pass a full Senate vote. If passed, the bill would then go to the President's desk for his signature, becoming law. Conservation and outdoor recreation groups, including the International Mountain Biking Association, are encouraging the public to contact their Senate representatives to make their opinions regarding the bill known.
