Raymond James Upgrades Booz Allen Hamilton to Outperform, Announces $150 Price Target

As the U.S. dollar continues to strengthen following the imposition of tariffs by President Donald Trump, this prominent hedge fund manager is forecasting an inevitable devaluation of the dollar.
What Happened: Kevin C Smith, founder and CEO of Crescat Capital, warns that the global economy is feeling the strain of the dollar's dominance, with global central bank assets now at their lowest level in over four years.
Smith attributes this contraction to the dollar&#8217;s strength, which is putting pressure on the world economy. He suggests that a devaluation of the U.S. dollar — whether through a coordinated or organic process against other currencies — is not only likely but &#8220;inevitable&#8221;.

&mdash; Kevin C. Smith, CFA (@crescatkevin) <a href="https://twitter.com/crescatkevin/status/1886177571571999153?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 2, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
According to Smith, the U.S. dollar nearing its cyclical peak, and the long-term decline of the dollar is already visible when assessed on a 10-year rolling basis. He points to key factors that could lead to the dollar&#8217;s depreciation in 2025, like the decrease in fiscal stimulus and the sustained low interest rates, which are partly designed to ease the federal government's growing debt burden.
However, Smith stresses that currency movements are always relative, to other major economies. &#8220;Notably, no other major economy — whether Japan, Canada, the Eurozone, the UK, or Australia — faces the same imperative as the United States, which must sustain GDP growth of nearly 5% merely to service its debt,&#8221; he adds.

Why It Matters: Smith also acknowledges that Trump&#8217;s tariffs may create short-term economic disruptions as they represent just one aspect of broader, long-term policy shifts under the new administration. He points to comments from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who has articulated that a weaker dollar could still coexist with its status as the world's reserve currency — a vision championed by Trump.
Despite the short-term fluctuations that may lead to temporary dollar appreciation, Smith's outlook remains largely pessimistic for the U.S. currency. He believes that the broader trajectory of the dollar is headed toward long-term depreciation.
If this scenario plays out, Smith argues, the consequences could be profound, marking one of the most significant shifts in the global financial landscape since the 2008 Global Financial Crisis.
Trump&#8217;s Tariffs: Starting Tuesday, newly implemented tariffs on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43425796/el-erian-warns-of-consequential-uncertainties-in-trumps-new-tariff-impact">a third of U.S. imports</a>, including a 10% tax on Chinese goods, are set to take effect, potentially raising prices across a wide range of industries, from agriculture to automobiles.

The group highlighted concerns over the $46 billion worth of agricultural trade with Mexico and $97 billion in energy exports from Canada, both of which could be impacted by the tariffs.

Trump Tariffs Strengthen Dollar, But Hedge Fund CEO Sees Impending Decline

U.S. technology stocks tumbled in pre-market trading Monday after President Donald Trump imposed substantial tariffs on imports from Canada, China, and Mexico, raising concerns about potential <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43423087/canada-retaliates-against-trumps-tariffs-with-countermeasures-25-tariffs-on-107-billion-of-us-made-goods">retaliation affecting the tech sector</a>.
What Happened: NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) fell 3.91% to $115.38 in pre-market trading, while Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) dropped 1.46% to $409.01. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) declined 2.01% to $231.25, Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) slipped 1.66% to $677.76, and Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) decreased 2.11% to $19.02.
Semiconductor stocks have been particularly hard hit. Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) dropped 2.95%, while Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) fell 2.62%, and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) declined 3.26%.
The sell-off comes in response to Trump&#8217;s Saturday announcement of 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada, along with a 10% tariff on Chinese goods, <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/43423620/trumps-tariffs-fed-rate-decisions-and-americas-debt-crisis-this-week-in-economics">all effective Tuesday</a>. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce warned these measures could significantly disrupt supply chains and increase costs for American businesses and consumers.

Why It Matters: The new tariffs compound existing pressures on the tech sector, which was already grappling with last week&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43256925/chamath-palihapitiya-warns-of-ai-shift-the-battle-is-now-more-about-ai-inference-vs-training-as-deepseek-sparks-nvidia-selloff">semiconductor sell-off</a> triggered by concerns over Chinese AI competition. That earlier decline had seen NVIDIA lose $600 billion in market value in a single trading session.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) also reflected the broader market uncertainty, falling 2.55% to $95,189.83 in the last 24 hours, as investors assessed the potential impact of escalating trade tensions on global markets.
The tariffs could particularly affect companies with <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43423288/trumps-tariffs-are-here-heres-what-will-get-more-expensive-from-canada-china-and-mexico">significant manufacturing operations</a> in Mexico and China, with economists warning about potential retaliatory measures from these trading partners. Professor Sung Won Sohn of Loyola Marymount University noted, &#8220;Consumers are going to be clearly worse off.&#8221;

Renowned economist Peter Schiff commented on Bitcoin&#8217;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) market slump on Sunday, drawing an unusual analogy with &#8220;soothsayer&#8221; groundhog &#8220;Punxsutawney Phil&#8217;s&#8221; prolonged winter prediction.
What Happened:&nbsp;Schiff took to X to point out the large drop in the value of Bitcoin and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), the two biggest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.
Bitcoin <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43425613/bitcoin-crashes-below-92000-ethereum-dogecoin-slump-as-trumps-tariff-war-spooks-investors-analyst">fell below $92,000</a> for the first time since Jan. 13, while Ethereum plunged over 25% to a nearly 3-month low on a day marked by the largest cryptocurrency liquidations ever, totaling more than $2 billion.
&#8220;It looks&nbsp;like Punxsutawney Phil was right&nbsp;about that long crypto winter,&#8221; Schiff said, in a cheeky reference to the popular groundhog.

Each year, on Feb. 2, "Punxsutawney Phil" emerges from his home and predicts the upcoming weather. If Phil sees his shadow, it means six more weeks of winter. Not seeing his shadow means an early spring. This year, Phil saw his shadow, forecasting another six weeks of winter, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/punxsutawney-phil-groundhog-winter-forecast-ab11e8b4745227fe2b218d2ccebbbaa4">according </a>to AP News. 
Schiff linked it to the ongoing market-wide decline, calling it a &#8220;cryptocurrency winter,&#8221; a period when cryptocurrencies witness massive losses.
Schiff has been a vocal critic of Bitcoin, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/42878139/peter-schiff-doesnt-hate-bitcoin-but-warns-millions-will-lose-more-than-they-can-afford-in-speculative-mania">questioning the speculative frenzy</a> surrounding it and its narrative of a long-term store of value.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $95,410.00, down 4.40% in the last 24 hours, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.&nbsp;

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed a decline in the overall market sentiment, while the index remained in the &#8220;Neutral&#8221; zone on Friday.
U.S. stocks settled lower on Friday, with the Dow Jones index falling more than 300 points during the session after the White House confirmed that new tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China would take effect on Saturday, escalating trade tensions with the country&#8217;s three largest suppliers.
Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) reported better-than-expected first-quarter financial results after the market closed on Thursday. Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) reported stronger-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings.
On the economic data front, U.S. personal income increased 0.4% month-over-month in December compared to a 0.3% gain in November. Personal spending climbed by 0.7% month-over-month to an annualized rate of $20.387 trillion in December. The core PCE price index in the US increased by 0.2% from the previous month for December.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a negative note, with energy, information technology, and materials stocks recording losses on Friday. However, communication services and consumer discretionary stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session higher.
The Dow Jones closed lower by around 337 points to 44,544.66 on Thursday. The S&amp;P 500 fell 0.50% to 6,040.53, while the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.28% at 19,627.44 during Friday's session.
