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;.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Importantly, global central bank assets have contracted to their lowest level in over four years.

&mdash; Kevin C. Smith, CFA (@crescatkevin) <a href="https://twitter.com/crescatkevin/status/1886177571571999153?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 2, 2025</a></blockquote>

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.

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.

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.

Rambus Gears Up For Q4 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

Prominent venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya has moved his recent business incorporations to Nevada citing concerns over Delaware&#8217;s judicial system and its impact on Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) shareholders, marking a potential shift in corporate domicile preferences.
What Happened: In a statement on X, Palihapitiya revealed he has incorporated his last four companies in Nevada, stating, &#8220;Ever since the judicial activism against Tesla shareholders, I redirected the incorporation of the last four companies I&#8217;ve bought or started to Nevada.&#8221; He emphasized that &#8220;activism has a price and DE will pay it as fewer companies pick them.&#8221;
The former Facebook executive&#8217;s decision comes amid a broader corporate migration trend, with major companies reassessing their traditional ties to Delaware, long considered the gold standard for corporate law. 
When questioned about his choice of Nevada over other business-friendly states like Wyoming or Texas, Palihapitiya cited Nevada&#8217;s pro-business environment, established legal precedents, and proximity to California.

Other major corporations, including Tesla, Oracle Corp., and Charles Schwab Corp., have made similar moves to Texas.
Andy Walz, Chevron&#8217;s President of Americas Products, emphasized the practical motivations behind such relocations. &#8220;California is a tough place to do business,&#8221; Walz said, citing recruitment challenges and high living costs. &#8220;In Texas, we&#8217;re welcome. Our industry is welcome.&#8221;

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CBRE#NYSE">CBRE</a>), eight Fortune 500 companies departed California between 2018 and 2023, with ten choosing Texas as their new home, highlighting a significant shift in corporate <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40150539/chevron-uproots-from-california-to-texas-in-sign-of-rising-trend-among-corporations">America&#8217;s geographical preferences</a>.

Chamath Palihapitiya Relocates Businesses To Nevada Citing Delaware 'Judicial Activism' Against Tesla Shareholders

Two Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) whale investors, inactive for six years, were suspected of booking hundreds of millions in profits by selling the second-largest cryptocurrency just before the big market crash on Sunday.
What Happened: The two wallets deposited 135,548 ETH, worth $399 million, to&nbsp;cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex&nbsp;eight hours before the overnight crash, according to on-chain tracker Spot On Chain. The wallets originally withdrew ETH at just $153.65 on Jan. 5, 2019, when the stash was worth $20.8 million.
It wasn&#8217;t immediately clear whether the investors offloaded the entire stockpile. But if they did, they&#8217;d be netting a profit of $378.3 million.

Additionally, more than $320 million worth of Ether entered exchanges on a net basis, nearly tripling from the previous day. The sharp jump in deposits indicated potential sell-offs.
Why It Matters:&nbsp;The movement of these Ethereum wallets comes amid one of the biggest falls in the cryptocurrency market in recent memory.

International Paper And DS Smith Merge To Form Global Leader In Sustainable Packaging

Former <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/yanis-varoufakis">Greek Finance Minister</a> Yanis Varoufakis warns that the TikTok ban controversy in the United States exposes a deeper issue: the concentration of power among tech platform owners who function as &#8220;techno-feudal lords&#8221; over social media users.
What Happened: &#8220;There is no stopping a form of economic activity which concentrates so much direct power in the hands of so few people, over our thoughts, our minds,&#8221; Varoufakis <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02-01/social-media-hunger-games-technofeudalism-control/104877888?utm_source=abc_news_app&amp;utm_medium=content_shared&amp;utm_campaign=abc_news_app&amp;utm_content=mail">told</a> ABC News, arguing that Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) poses similar concerns as TikTok. &#8220;Do not fall into the trap of thinking that there is a good techno-feudal lord.&#8221;
Varoufakis is also a game theory expert who tried to use strategic brinkmanship to negotiate Greece's bailout during its 2015 financial crisis.
Varoufakis advocates for &#8220;interoperability&#8221; regulations that would allow users to transfer their followers between platforms, similar to phone number portability between carriers. This approach, he argues, &#8220;would reduce the switching costs and would deal a major blow at the exorbitant power of platform owners.&#8221;
His concerns come as major tech figures, including Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk and Meta&#8217;s Mark Zuckerberg, maintain close ties with political leadership. &#8220;What they want from a president — and they don&#8217;t give a damn whether it&#8217;s [Donald] Trump or anyone else — is to get the federal government off their back,&#8221; Varoufakis said.

Why It Matters: The ongoing TikTok situation, which could force ByteDance into a joint <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43230011/meta-leverages-tiktok-ban-threats-to-boost-instagram-offering-creators-cash-deals">venture worth up to $50 billion</a> according to Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives, exemplifies this power dynamic. Potential buyers include Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) Chairman Larry Ellison, and a consortium led by YouTube star MrBeast offering over $20 billion.
Meanwhile, Meta is capitalizing on TikTok&#8217;s uncertainty by offering <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43230011/meta-leverages-tiktok-ban-threats-to-boost-instagram-offering-creators-cash-deals">creators up to $50,000 monthly</a> to shift to Instagram Reels, highlighting the platform owners&#8217; ability to reshape the social media landscape. The company has invested over $2 billion in creator payments in 2024 alone.
