Washington Just Handed Steelmakers a Huge Win: ETFs to Gain

Trump's move easing EPA rules boosts the steel supply chain, setting ETFs like XME up for firmer pricing power and steadier volumes.   

United States Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing Peter Navarro said Thursday that Washington will maintain tariffs on steel and aluminum with no exemptions for the European Union.“There will be no exemptions, no exclusions for steel and aluminum tariffs,” Navarro told reporters. He noted that the U.S. added more than 400 new products to the tariff list this week to curb manipulation and circumvention. “Every time we try to give an exemption or exclusion to one of our allies, they abuse it totally. We learned that it was a slippery slope,” Navarro said, recalling Trump’s previous term in office.Navarro also praised the administration’s 15% tariff on cars, describing it as a cornerstone of Trump’s trade strategy with Europe. “Anybody who criticizes Trump’s policy has to look at the president’s magnificent achievement in dealing with the EU,” he said.His comments come after the U.S. and EU&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/us-eu-announce-tariffs-autos-pharma/chsSuh2Rdid">issued</a> a joint statement earlier on Thursday, formalizing the trade deal announced back in July. The statement also included the possibility of lowering the 15% tariffs on cars, but only if Europe takes steps to lower tariffs on imported U.S. goods as promised.“In many ways I can’t think of a deal more important than the one with the EU. It is, after all, one of the largest entities in the world. It’s important not just economically but strategically, yet for many, many years it has been taking unfair advantage of the U.S.—consistently higher tariffs, consistently higher non-tariff barriers,” Navarro added.U.S. markets were trending lower ahead of Powell’s speech at Jackson Hole on Friday. The&nbsp;<a href="http://stocktwits.com/symbol/SLX">VanEck Steel ETF</a> (SLX) fell 0.5% in afternoon trade, and the&nbsp;<a href="http://stocktwits.com/symbol/IYM">iShares U.S. Basic Materials ETF</a> (IYM) edged 0.1% lower.

Upcoming set of earnings seen as the key source of uncertainty: Goldman Sachs

Investing.com -- The upcoming earnings season is the “key source of uncertainty” for the S&P 500 outlook, Goldman Sachs’ top strategist David Kostin said, as investors assess the impact of tariffs on corporate profit margins.

Microsoft (MSFT) stock may have been relegated to the second spot in terms of valuation, but it could have further legs to&nbsp;run, thanks to the software giant integrating its artificial intelligence (AI) into its products and applications.&nbsp;The AI-fueled rally has helped&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MSFT">Microsoft stock</a> to gain 20% this year, with the stock trading at a record high.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Satya Nadella-led company is also benefiting from internal use of the AI technology, Microsoft’s Chief Commercial Officer Judson Althoff said in an internal presentation,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-09/microsoft-using-more-ai-internally-amid-mass-layoffs?accessToken=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzb3VyY2UiOiJTdWJzY3JpYmVyR2lmdGVkQXJ0aWNsZSIsImlhdCI6MTc1MjA4MjAyNSwiZXhwIjoxNzUyNjg2ODI1LCJhcnRpY2xlSWQiOiJTWjRUTUdUMVVNMFcwMCIsImJjb25uZWN0SWQiOiJEQ0FGMjNFM0YyMkE0Qzk5OTM0RUMyRDEwNkM0ODc0NyJ9.FJqgZFgR56AwprxFaQYwGnVdo2joiBDFl2IvvjL0k-s&amp;leadSource=uverify%20wall">according</a> to Bloomberg, citing people familiar with his remarks.Althoff said AI tools have boosted productivity&nbsp;across various functions, including sales, customer service, and software engineering. The executive quantified Microsoft’s AI savings as&nbsp;exceeding $500 million in its call centers in 2024, with the technology’s usage helping to improve both employee and customer satisfaction.The report stated that Microsoft was starting to utilize AI to interact with smaller clients, which helped the company generate tens of millions of dollars.Althoff also said at Microsoft&nbsp;that AI generated 35% of the code for new products, expediting launches. Allaying employee concerns regarding the employment of AI, he said AI could make them more effective as sellers.&nbsp;The use of Microsoft’s Copilot AI assistant helped each salesperson find more leads, close deals quicker, and generate 9% more revenue, he added.The report of Microsoft’s productivity gains from AI came close on the heels of Oppenheimer upgrading shares of the company to ‘Outperform’ from ‘Perform,’&nbsp; citing the company’s strong positioning in AI.The research firm has a $530 price target for Microsoft stock, The Fly reported.&nbsp;Analyst Brian Schwartz attributed the action to his view that the company’s current stock price does not fully factor in the “sustaining robust growth” of&nbsp;the AI business and a potential reacceleration in Azure revenue in fiscal year 2026.“Investors’ attention on the ramp of Microsoft’s AI revenue stream will only increase as Azure’s growth remains strong,” the analyst said, adding that it will not only offer valuation support, but “also upside potential as this revenue stream continues scaling fast and investors embrace Microsoft as one of the long-term AI winners in software.”In late June, Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives upped the price target for Microsoft stock to $600 from $515, attributing this optimism to &nbsp;bullish AI checks that suggested a massive adoption wave of Copilot and Azure monetization.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment toward Microsoft stock&nbsp;remained ‘bearish’ (42/100) by late Wednesday, with the degree of negativity increasing from the previous day.

Microsoft Stock Hits New High: Analysts Say $4 Trillion Valuation May Be Within Reach As AI Upside Still Underappreciated

Judson Althoff quantified Microsoft’s AI savings as exceeding $500 million in its call centers in 2024, with the technology’s usage helping to improve both employee and customer satisfaction.

Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) is making&nbsp;significant strides with Copilot, its artificial intelligence (AI)-powered personal assistant, vindicating the company’s huge investments in AI.&nbsp;Two separate Business Insider (BI) reports suggested increased traction for the personal assistant.BI&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/microsoft-copilot-licenses-million-ai-2025-6">reported</a> Microsoft Commercial Officer Judson Althoff told employees at a meeting that the company is close to clinching a deal with a major customer with more than one million 365 licenses to deploy Copilot.&nbsp;The report said the company hasn’t zeroed in on how to charge the customer for&nbsp;using the personal assistant. It was toying with the idea of either its traditional approach of per-seat software licenses that would fetch a certain amount per month, or institute consumption-based pricing.If per-seat pricing is adopted, Microsoft could get as much&nbsp;as $360 million for a year,&nbsp;considering the one million licenses and $30 it charges for Copilot per user per month. That said, given the volume of licenses involved, the customer may not agree&nbsp;to Copilot’s sticker price, the report said.The potential addition of&nbsp;many new users is seen as a positive for Copilot, even if it&nbsp;means a discount&nbsp;on the sticker price.&nbsp;BI&nbsp;speculated that the unnamed customer&nbsp;was Amazon, given the number of employees involved. Still, its probe with an employee at the e-commerce giant showed that this may not be the case.&nbsp;Amazon has reportedly warned its employees about not using external AI tools, and following the publication of the report, an Amazon spokesperson explicitly ruled out the possibility.&nbsp;A separate BI report&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/microsoft-copilot-licenses-million-ai-2025-6">said</a> Microsoft was working on a Copilot version for the Department of Defense (DoD). The report also raised the possibility&nbsp;that the Pentagon was the customer Althoff referred to at the internal meeting, given that it employs about 2.1 million service members and about 770,000 civilian employees.&nbsp;On Stocktwits, sentiment toward Microsoft stock was ‘bearish’ (43/100) by late Wednesday, although the message volume stayed ‘high.’<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:620/53;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_06_12_at_3_19_12_AM_png_4a4aa3baac.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-06-12 at 3.19.12 AM.png" width="620" height="53"><figcaption>MSFT sentiment and message volume as of 3:19 a.m. ET, June 12 | source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>Some&nbsp;retail traders are not too excited about Copilot. “There is a Rough road ahead.

Microsoft Reportedly Nearing Copilot Mega-Deal With Major Customer — But Retail Traders Not Fully Sold

The company was reportedly toying with the idea of either adopting its traditional approach of per-seat software licenses that would fetch a certain amount per month or instituting consumption-based pricing.

Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) has wielded its axe yet again, with the software company laying off hundreds of its workforce amid an uncertain economic climate and increasing investment needs to stay competitive in the artificial intelligence (AI) race.&nbsp;A&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://esd.wa.gov/employer-requirements/layoffs-and-employee-notifications/worker-adjustment-and-retraining-notification-warn-layoff-and-closure-database">Monday notice</a> filed with the Washington State Employment Security Department showed that the Satya Nadella-led company has eliminated 305 permanent positions.&nbsp;The company's most recent cuts add to the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/microsoft-layoffs-show-commitment-to-profitable-growth-analyst/chiq1WnRbN5">6,000 positions</a> it eliminated in mid-May, attributing the action to the organizational changes necessary to best position itself for success in a dynamic marketplace.In 2023, the company cut 10,000 jobs as it grappled with slowing demand amid a spike in inflationary pressure. In January this year, it cut a small percentage of jobs across the departments, calling them “performance-based” eliminations.President Donald Trump’s tariffs, announced in early April,&nbsp;have weighed on economic growth, although Microsoft is relatively immune to the levies compared to its hardware counterparts.Against this backdrop, flab cutting may be needed to meet the higher capex needs. On the third-quarter earnings call, CFO Amy Hood said that fourth-quarter capital expenditure will rise sequentially from the $21.4 billion spent in the previous three-month period.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment toward Microsoft stock remained ‘bearish’ (39/100) by early Tuesday, and the message volume stayed ‘low.’<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:621/56;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_06_03_at_5_54_14_AM_png_c9bb7ae7e1.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-06-03 at 5.54.14 AM.png" width="621" height="56"><figcaption>MSFT sentiment and message volume as of 5:55 a.m. ET, June 3 | source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>In Tuesday’s early premarket session,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MSFT">Microsoft stock</a> slipped 0.34% to $460.422.
