The U.S. bond market is sending significant signals to Wall Street and Washington as Treasury yields approach levels not seen in nearly two decades, potentially complicating the incoming president-elect Donald Trump administration&#8217;s economic agenda.
What Happened: The yield on the 10-year Treasury has surged more than 1% since September, nearing the psychologically important 5% threshold. This sharp increase in government borrowing costs comes as markets reassess Federal Reserve rate cut expectations amid stronger economic data.
&#8220;It&#8217;s a combination of reset expectations of Fed rate cuts due to better economic prospects as well as an increase in real rates,&#8221; <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/audio/2025-01-14/trumponomics-the-bond-market-effect-on-donald-trump-podcast">says</a> Anna Wong, chief U.S. economist at Bloomberg Economics and former Federal Reserve economist who served in the previous Trump administration.
The bond market&#8217;s reaction partly reflects anticipated Trump policies, including proposed tariffs and immigration restrictions, according to Wong. These policies are &#8220;already acting as a restrictive force on the economy before being implemented,&#8221; she notes.
The rising yields could face heightened scrutiny in Congress, where slim Republican majorities control both chambers. Kate Davidson, Bloomberg&#8217;s managing editor for U.S. economic policy, suggests that concerned lawmakers might &#8220;throw a wrench into the process&#8221; of implementing Trump&#8217;s agenda, particularly regarding tax cuts and deficit spending.

Why It Matters: Mohamed El-Erian, Chief Economic Advisor at Allianz, projects the 10-year yield could &#8220;spend quite a bit of 2025 in the 4.75-5% range.&#8221; This outlook comes as debt servicing costs now exceed the defense budget, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/bonds/25/01/42890926/mohamed-el-erian-predicts-us-treasury-yields-will-stay-elevated-through-2025-as-inflation-concerns-and-market-dynamics-persist">raising fiscal sustainability questions</a>.
While Trump has celebrated the stock market&#8217;s $3 trillion gain since the election, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42886101/investors-should-expect-no-rate-cuts-in-q1-2025-after-federal-reserves-december-minutes-release-strategist-says">bond market dynamics</a> may pose challenges to his economic plans. Larry Tentarelli, chief technical strategist at Blue Chip Daily Trend Report, expects rates to remain elevated, forecasting &#8220;10-year U.S. Treasury yields in the 4.50 to 5.00% range&#8221; through early 2025.
These developments occur as Federal Reserve officials express increased uncertainty about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42886101/investors-should-expect-no-rate-cuts-in-q1-2025-after-federal-reserves-december-minutes-release-strategist-says">the economic outlook</a>, using variations of the word &#8220;uncertain&#8221; twelve times in recent meeting minutes, according to LPL Financial&#8217;s chief economist Jeffrey Roach.

Why Vision Marine Technologies Shares Are Trading Higher By 68%; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HIVE#NASDAQ">HIVE</a>) co-founder Frank Holmes said that the new cryptocurrency accounting standards will remove barriers to corporate adoption of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>).
What Happened: During an interview with Scott Melker, host of the popular &#8220;The Wolf of All Streets&#8221; podcast, Holmes was asked about the rule change by the Financial Accounting Standards Board and whether it will drive more companies to consider Bitcoin as a reserve.
&#8220;Yes, absolutely,&#8221; responded Holmes, who leads North America&#8217;s first publicly traded Bitcoin mining company.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
The new rule enables firms to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42502213/new-crypto-accounting-standards-from-todaywill-it-boost-bitcoins-corporate-adoption">report cryptocurrencies at fair value</a>, or simply their current value, and include them in the company&#8217;s net income. Previously, cryptocurrencies were classified as indefinite-lived intangible assets, which required corporations to account for impairment charges.
Holmes said that the new mark-to-market standards are &#8220;really important,&#8221; paving the way for more companies to enter the Bitcoin market. 
He also shared that HIVE has been a pioneer in&nbsp;using Bitcoin as a&nbsp;balance sheet asset, deeming it a &#8220;proxy&#8221; for those hesitant to invest in the asset through cryptocurrency exchanges.

Why It Matters: The optimistic remarks aligned with those by Bitwise&nbsp;Chief Investment Officer&nbsp;Matt Hougan, who stated that the new rules <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42993521/michael-saylors-microstrategy-not-alone-in-bitcoin-acquisition-says-bitwise-chief-investment-officer-its-a-bona-fide-megatrend">would play a major role in incentivizing</a> Bitcoin corporate adoption.
HIVE mines digital currencies like Bitcoin using renewable energy. The company recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42740364/whats-going-on-with-hive-digital-shares-on-tuesday">relocated</a> its headquarters from Vancouver, Canada, to San Antonio, Texas—the global hub of Bitcoin mining and a favored location for mining giants like&nbsp;Riot Platforms&nbsp;and&nbsp;MARA Holdings. This move is expected to enhance shareholder value, liquidity, and global investor interest.
The company currently holds a 1% market share of the global Bitcoin mining network, with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/partner/cryptocurrency/24/12/42507134/hive-digital-technologies-nasdaq-hive-experiences-monumental-month-amid-tech-tailwinds-tri">goal of capturing 2%</a> by summer 2025.
HIVE held 2,805 BTCs, valued at $272.83 million as of this writing, <a href="https://bitcointreasuries.net/">according </a>to&nbsp;BitcoinTreasuries.com. MicroStrategy was the market leader with over $43 billion in Bitcoin on its books.

Eurozone Industrial Production (MoM) For November 0.2% Vs. 0.3% Est.; 0.2% (Revised) Prior

An internal memo from Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) has unveiled a strategy to implement <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/42994485/mark-zuckerbergs-jiu-jitsu-training-has-transformed-metas-leadership-strategy-says-gene-munster">performance-based job cuts</a>.
What Happened: The memo, authored by Hillary Champion, Meta&#8217;s director of people development growth programs, instructs managers to classify employees into performance tiers based on their contributions over the past year, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/meta-tells-managers-how-performance-based-job-cuts-will-work-2025-1">reported</a> Business Insider.
Champion&#8217;s memo indicates that Meta aims to achieve a 10% &#8220;non-regrettable attrition&#8221; rate by the end of the current performance cycle. This target combines last year&#8217;s 5% with an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/42986509/meta-platforms-announces-performance-based-job-cuts-whats-going-on">additional 5% this year</a>.

The company is increasing pressure on underperformers to swiftly determine who will remain and who will be let go.
Meta plans to cut about 5% of its lowest-performing staffers as part of an effort to &#8220;raise the bar.&#8221; The company intends to backfill these roles in 2025.
The internal performance guidance document, obtained by the publication, categorizes employees into ratings such as &#8220;met most expectations,&#8221; &#8220;met some,&#8221; and &#8220;did not meet.&#8221;
Employees rated as &#8220;Met Some&#8221; or &#8220;Did Not Meet&#8221; will be automatically added to the performance termination list.
Subscribe to the <a href="https://bztechtrends.beehiiv.com/subscribe">Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter</a> to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
&#8220;We have really ambitious goals, so we need to manage our workforce in a way that ensures we have the strongest talent working here and can move faster in managing out low performers so that we can bring new people in,&#8221; Champion stated.
Why It Matters: The decision to implement performance-based job cuts at Meta aligns with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42865109/sony-co-founder-akio-morita-once-said-that-management-should-treat-companies-like-families-not-commodities-recession-comes-management-fire-people-but-stays-to-keep-its-profit">broader trend in the tech industry</a>.
In December 2024, Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google revealed plans to reduce top management <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42635813/google-announces-major-layoffs-as-pichai-stresses-efficiency">roles by 10% as part</a> of its efforts to streamline operations.
Likewise, Elon Musk&#8217;s X reportedly experienced major layoffs in November 2024, with the engineering department being notably impacted.
Meta is scheduled to release its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/01/42991174/meta-platforms-analyst-expects-strong-momentum-in-q4-to-continue-in-2025">fourth-quarter earnings</a> on Jan. 29. Last year in October, the company reported $40.59 billion in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41637326/meta-platforms-q3-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-daily-actives-up-5-strong-momentum-in-ai">third-quarter revenue</a>, exceeding analysts&#8217; projections of $40.29 billion.
Price Action: Meta&#8217;s shares fell by 2.31% on Tuesday but recovered slightly in pre-market trading on Wednesday, gaining 0.46% to close at $597, as per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Nokia Signs Multi-Year Video Technologies Licensing Deal With Samsung

Howard Marks, the co-founder, and co-chairman of Oaktree Capital Management, who predicted the dot-com bubble 25 years ago has alerted investors about cautionary signs in the market in his latest <a href="https://www.oaktreecapital.com/insights/memo/on-bubble-watch">paper</a> called, &#8220;On Bubble Watch&#8221;.
What Happened: According to Marks, these cautionary signs include the over-optimism in the market, ongoing AI hype, reliance on &#8216;Magnificent Seven&#8217; stocks, and index investing bias.
Even though Marks doesn&#8217;t &#8220;speak authoritatively about whether we're in a bubble,&#8221; in his paper, he does say that investors shouldn't be indifferent to these signs.
<ul>
<li>Over-optimism: Market exuberance since late 2022, coupled with high S&amp;P 500 valuations exceeding global peers.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>AI Hype: Enthusiasm for AI may be spilling over to other tech sectors.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Tech Giant Reliance: Over-reliance on the continued success of the top seven companies.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Index Investing Bias: Potential for inflated valuations driven by index fund purchases, disregarding intrinsic value.</li>
</ul>
Marks mentions in his paper that a stock market bubble manifests as a temporary mania fueled by irrational exuberance, blind adoration of companies, and an overwhelming fear of missing out.
The conviction that stocks are impervious to overvaluation, leads to the belief that &#8220;there&#8217;s no price too high.&#8221;

Why It Matters: About 25 years ago on Jan. 7, 2000, Marks published a memo called <a href="https://www.oaktreecapital.com/docs/default-source/memos/2000-01-02-bubble.pdf?sfvrsn=37bc0f65_2">bubble.com</a>, and the subject was the irrational behavior he thought was taking place with respect to tech, internet, and e-commerce stocks. This was how he predicted the dot-com bubble. 
&#8220;But for me, a bubble or crash is more a state of mind than a quantitative calculation,&#8221; he added.
Marks warranted that investors should not avoid today's market valuations.
Drawing examples from the 2000 bubble, he highlighted the twenty companies that were the most heavily represented in the index. At the beginning of 2024, however, only six of them were still in the top twenty. Importantly, of today's &#8216;Magnificent Seven,&#8217; only Microsoft Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) was in the top twenty 25 years ago.
&#8220;In bubbles, investors treat the leading companies – and pay for their stocks – as though the firms are sure to remain leaders for decades,&#8221; he said.
He acknowledged counterarguments suggesting the market might not be in a bubble. These included the observation that while the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s P/E ratio is elevated but not at an absurd level. Furthermore, he acknowledged that the &#8220;Magnificent Seven&#8221; are indeed exceptional companies, potentially justifying their high valuations.
Finally, he concluded that while the market appears expensive and perhaps slightly overheated, it doesn&#8217;t exhibit the irrational exuberance characteristic of a true bubble.

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

SpaceX&#8217;s next test flight of its Starship launch vehicle will depend on weather, the company warned on Tuesday.
What Happened: The company is currently preparing to launch Starship on Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. CT. However, whether the company will go ahead with the launch date or postpone it further will depend on the weather, company CEO Elon Musk said. 
&#8220;Starship Flight 7 launches tomorrow, provided weather is good,&#8221; Musk said on Tuesday. 
SpaceX also said in a post on social media platform X that the team at Starbase, Texas, is keeping a close eye on weather conditions.

Starship&#8217;s seventh flight test has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/01/42937833/elon-musks-spacex-delays-starship-7th-test-flight-to-wednesday">postponed multiple times</a> already. In December, Musk had pegged it for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42891052/spacexs-starship-7th-flight-test-now-slated-for-monday">Jan. 10</a>. 
Why It Matters: SpaceX has said that its Starship vehicle, currently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42718758/elon-musk-says-starship-will-get-fully-reusable-heat-shield-in-2025-i-am-confident">undergoing testing and development</a>, will launch from Starbase for its seventh test flight carrying 10 Starlink simulators which are similar in size and weight to the company&#8217;s next-generation Starlink satellites in a bid to demonstrate its capabilities in the satellite launch segment.
For the upcoming flight, SpaceX is looking to catch the two-stage vehicle's booster back at the launch pad at Starbase with the launch tower's metallic arms like on its fifth test flight in October. However, in case of any safety concerns, the company will splash it down in the Gulf of Mexico, it said.
The spacecraft, meanwhile, is slated to be splashed down in the Indian Ocean on the upcoming test.
While SpaceX has conducted 6 test flights of its ambitious launch vehicle to date, none of them carried any payload. The last test flight of Starship was in November.

Earnings Scheduled For January 15, 2025

Investors are buzzing with speculation about the Federal Reserve possibly raising interest rates in 2025. This comes despite recent aggressive rate cuts. The conversation is heating up around a potential policy reversal.
What Happened: While the likelihood of a rate hike remains at zero according to CME Group's FedWatch, the topic is gaining traction among investors. The debate centers on whether the barriers to increasing rates are more substantial than those to reducing them, The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/investing/what-if-the-fed-u-turns-and-raises-rates-this-year-f180855b">reported</a> on Wednesday.
Historically, the Fed has signaled major policy shifts well in advance, with only one instance of switching from cuts to hikes within a year since 1994. This occurred in 1998, following the Long-Term Capital Management crisis.
Some analysts believe the Fed has learned from past inflation shocks and may act swiftly if necessary. Ed Al-Hussainy of Columbia Threadneedle Investments noted, "It's a paper barrier, and they will break through it quickly if the data becomes overwhelming."
Investors considering the possibility of rate hikes might look into short-dated Treasurys. However, the market&#8217;s volatility and potential for loss remain significant concerns.
Why It Matters: The speculation surrounding potential rate hikes comes on the heels of a strong jobs report from December, which has led Wall Street analysts to reconsider their interest rate forecasts. Goldman Sachs economist David Mericle <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/42944934/wall-street-slashes-interest-rate-cut-bets-after-jobs-data-are-hikes-back-on-the-table">adjusted his projections</a> for Fed policy in 2025, reducing expected rate cuts due to the robust employment figures.
Moreover, the Federal Reserve&#8217;s December meeting minutes revealed uncertainty about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42886101/investors-should-expect-no-rate-cuts-in-q1-2025-after-federal-reserves-december-minutes-release-strategist-says">future rate cuts</a>, as noted by Jeffrey Roach, chief economist for LPL Financial. The Fed&#8217;s use of the word &#8220;uncertain&#8221; multiple times underscores the difficulty in mapping out a clear path for interest rates amid unpredictable economic conditions.
