Consensus Cloud Solutions, Inc. (CCSI): Among the Best Breakout Stocks to Buy According to Analysts
We recently published a list of 11 Best Breakout Stocks to Buy According to Analysts. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Consensus Cloud Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:CCSI) stands against other best breakout stocks to buy according to analysts.
Stock markets have been on edge in response to the US President's aggressive trade war that has resulted in trade tariffs aimed at settling the trade deficit. Likewise, stocks remain on edge, with the US president ramping up attacks against the Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell raising serious concerns about the central bank's independence.
Trump has been on Powell's neck over what he terms as laxity in cutting interest rates at a time when major central banks led by the European Central Bank and Bank of Canada have cut significantly. In posts on his social network Trust Social, Trump has always insisted that the US economy would slow unless Powell, who he has always deemed as 'Mr. Too Late, a major loser,' cut rates.
The remarks come against the backdrop of major indices pulling back significantly from record highs as stocks remain under pressure across various sectors. The S&P 500 has already closed on the negative for the 3rd straight month, waiting to see if the selloff will persist. The last time the index closed negative for 4 straight months was in 2011.
While a negative, the sell-off has presented unique investment opportunities as valuations have pulled back significantly from historical highs. Likewise, the pullback has given rise to solid breakout plays as the selloff dust slowly settles. Nearly two-thirds of the S&P 500 stocks have posted first-quarter 2025 results that have topped estimates. Strong quarterly results from some of the big tech giants are helping alleviate concerns about the potential impact of Trump's tariffs. Likewise, the solid earnings have once again eased concerns that the artificial intelligence progress has slowed amid economic turmoil triggered by the trade war.
'Few stocks are truly immune to Trump tariffs [and] trade war, but AI is a lot less impacted than investors currently believe,' said Jed Ellerbroek, portfolio manager at Argent Capital Management. 'We're early in a very steep growth curve right now, and that goes for AI infrastructure.'
China signaling it is evaluating the possibility of starting trade negotiations with the US is a positive for the markets under pressure. The remarks come at a time when the Trump administration is increasingly targeting quick wins with major trading partners. The prospects of a trade agreement between the US and China should be a catalyst to trigger a significant bounce back after months of deep sell-offs.

Australians Equally Distrust Both Trump and Xi, Survey Finds
(Bloomberg) -- Australians are equally distrustful of both US President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping, according to a new survey, complicating Canberra's task of managing ties with its key security ally and biggest trading partner. Shuttered NY College Has Alumni Fighting Over Its Future As Part of a $45 Billion Push, ICE Prepares for a Vast Expansion of Detention Space Do World's Fairs Still Matter? NYC Renters Brace for Price Hikes After Broker-Fee Ban As American Architects Gather in Boston, Retrofits Are All the Rage A new survey released by the Lowy Institute think tank in Sydney showed that 72% of respondents said they didn't trust Trump to act responsibly in global affairs, just edging out the 71% who said they didn't trust China's Xi. When asked whether Trump or Xi would be a better partner for Australia, the two leaders were tied at 45% apiece. The results come as Prime Minister Anthony Albanese attends a Group of Seven meeting in Canada, where he could hold his first face-to-face meeting with the US president. Albanese will be hoping to negotiate an exemption on US steel and aluminum tariffs for Australia, as well as trying to secure Trump's support for Aukus following the announcement in Washington of a review of the security accord. Albanese's balancing act with Trump is a difficult one. Australians' faith in the US has deteriorated following the president's return to the White House. Trust in America as a global player has fallen to just 36%, by far the lowest result in the Lowy survey's 20-year history. Yet despite an aversion to Trump, Australians aren't ready to move away from the US as the nation's primary security partner. The survey showed consistent support for the US alliance, with 80% of respondents saying America was important for Australia's security. Meanwhile, attitudes to China have slightly improved, although Beijing is generally considered less reliable than the US across most metrics.

How the Federal Reserve Fuels Fiscal Profligacy
If Republicans are serious about reducing federal deficit spending, it is important to consider the effect the Federal Reserve has on the nation's budgetary outlook. If the numerical models imposed by the Congressional Budget Office drive fiscal policy, lawmakers also need to understand what they portend for monetary policy. The Fed once was committed to 'normalizing' its balance sheet—shrinking its footprint in credit markets by reducing the size of its portfolio of Treasury debt and mortgage-backed securities. Chairman Jerome Powell noted in a 2019 speech that large-scale asset purchases by the Fed over the previous 10 years had been viewed from the outset as 'extraordinary measures to be unwound, or 'normalized,' when conditions ultimately warranted.'

Send JD Vance to Africa
Nigeria's population will be bigger than China's in 2100. Africa already has the youngest population in the world and will keep growing. It is rich in minerals, rare-earth minerals and ambition. Whoever builds serious economic relationships there now will shape the global balance of power tomorrow. So far, that hasn't been America. But there's real potential in the Trump White House, if the president puts the right man on the job. Under both parties, Washington has treated Africa like a charity case: useful for virtue signaling and grants, but not for serious geopolitics or trade. The result is a lost continent—with which the enemies of the U.S. are moving swiftly to engage. China is locking down mineral concessions, ports and telecoms. Russia moved into the Sahel with Wagner flags and Kalashnikovs. Turkey is opening mosques and construction sites. Even Iran is showing hustle. America is mostly absent. That may be changing in President Trump's second term. Africa has re-entered U.S. political conversation—not through humanitarian appeals, but through old-fashioned deal-making. There's talk of a deal to protect Congo's territorial integrity with American security assistance as the country combats rebels in the east in exchange for mineral rights. Senior White House advisers are making multicountry visits on the continent to explore opportunities for the U.S. private sector. The closing of the U.S. Agency for International Development also sent a signal: No more feel-good global welfare. It's time to talk business and self-reliance.
