Geoffrey Kendrick, Head of Digital Assets Research at Standard Chartered on Wednesday predicted that Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) could reach $500,000 before the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43492011/exclusive-crypto-czar-charm-offensive-welcomed-but-experts-wonder-will-us-policy-deliver">end of Donald Trump's term</a>.
What Happened: Kendrick attributes this forecast to two key factors: improved investor access to Bitcoin under the current administration and a gradual decline in volatility due to maturing market infrastructure.
"Access is improving under the Trump administration. Institutional inflows will continue to gather pace," Kendrick wrote, highlighting the impact of spot Bitcoin ETFs and expanding options markets. 
"This combination—more access, lower vol—is enough to drive Bitcoin to $500,000 before Trump leaves office,&#8221; he added.
Meanwhile, institutional inflows into <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/25/01/43249653/nasdaqs-bitcoin-etf-shift-could-strengthen-blackrocks-market-position">Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs</a> further underline the growing adoption of digital assets.
On Feb. 4, Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded a net inflow of $341 million, with BlackRock's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>) ETF alone receiving $249 million.
Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) ETFs saw a net inflow of $308 million, marking the fourth consecutive day of positive flows for the asset.
These numbers highlight increasing confidence among institutional investors, despite recent market turbulence. 
Kendrick said that improved access through vehicles like ETFs is critical for Bitcoin's long-term trajectory, as it provides broader exposure for traditional finance participants.

Why It Matters: Recent volatility in traditional and crypto markets has tested investor sentiment.
The U.S.-China tariff war continues to dominate headlines, creating uncertainty across asset classes. While Bitcoin has shown resilience, holding above the $90,000 mark, concerns about geopolitical shocks remain.
"The delay in tariffs against Mexico and Canada has provided some relief to crypto markets," QCP Capital noted but cautioned that Bitcoin is still vulnerable to negative price shocks given the lack of near-term catalysts. 
The firm also highlighted the ongoing development of regulatory frameworks, such as stablecoin legislation and a Strategic <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43489967/the-trump-bitcoin-reserve-ushers-in-golden-age#:~:text=The%20Bitcoin%20Reserve%20Act%20requires,the%20course%20of%20criminal%20investigations.">Bitcoin Reserve</a> (SBR) task force, as long-term <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43477333/crypto-czar-sacks-says-potential-bitcoin-reserve-to-be-one-of-crypto-committees-first-priorities\">positives for the crypto industry.</a>

JPMorgan analysts Claudia Hueston and Pedro Martins just dropped a major AI ripple effect report, and the verdict is clear: DeepSeek's latest LLM is shaking up <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">the tech hierarchy</a>.
With the promise of slashing training and inference costs, some companies stand to gain big, while others might be in for a rough ride.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Winners: The AI Powerhouses</h2>
The bullish camp — tagged under JPMorgan's DeepSeek Positive Impact — is a who's who of AI titans and cloud leaders. Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>), Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) top the list, unsurprisingly, given their AI ambitions.
But the wave also lifts Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), Marvell Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) and Micron Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>) — all crucial to AI infrastructure. Even software players like Snowflake Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>), Databricks rival Confluent Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CFLT#NASDAQ">CFLT</a>) and GitLab Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GTLB#NASDAQ">GTLB</a>) look poised to benefit from AI-powered cost efficiencies.
The key theme? AI is moving from experimental to execution mode, and companies that enable inferencing and data management stand to gain.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Losers: The Hardware Setback</h2>
On the flip side, JPMorgan's DeepSeek Negative Impact list puts companies like Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) and Oracle Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) in the danger zone. With cheaper and more efficient AI models, legacy hardware players could see slower demand for expensive, high-power training chips. 
Even industrial giants like Caterpillar Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAT#NYSE">CAT</a>) and Cummins Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMI#NYSE">CMI</a>) might take a hit if AI-driven automation undercuts traditional heavy machinery investments.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Takeaway: AI's Next Economic Shift</h2>
While hyperscalers are still throwing money at AI hardware, DeepSeek's disruption could eventually tilt the value proposition toward application-layer innovation. 
Companies that enable seamless AI adoption—think Salesforce Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>), Shopify Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NYSE">SHOP</a>) and CrowdStrike Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>)—could see an acceleration in demand, while those overly reliant on expensive, legacy infrastructure may need a strategy refresh.

Private employers created 183,000 new jobs in January 2025, marking a slight acceleration from December&#8217;s upwardly revised 176,000 and beating market <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s">expectations of 150,000. </a>
The ADP National Employment Report, released Wednesday by Automatic Data Processing Inc., highlighted continued resilience in the private labor market ahead of Friday's highly anticipated non-farm payrolls report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Economists expect the government report to show a slowdown in hiring, with forecasts predicting a decline from December's 256,000 to 170,000 new jobs.
Nela Richardson, ADP&#8217;s chief economist, said: &#8220;We had a strong start to 2025 but it masked a dichotomy in the labor market. Consumer-facing industries drove hiring, while job growth was weaker in business services and production.&#8221;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Where Did Jobs Grow in January?</h3>
The latest data revealed a divergence in job creation, with gains concentrated in service-providing industries, while goods-producing sectors continued to lag.
Goods-producing industries shed 6,000 jobs in January, driven by a 13,000 payroll reduction in manufacturing. This marked the fourth consecutive month of job losses in the sector.
Service-providing industries, on the other hand, added 190,000 positions. Trade, transportation, and utilities led the way with 56,000 new jobs, while leisure and hospitality followed closely, adding 54,000 positions.
December&#8217;s private employment growth was also revised upward to 184,000, exceeding the consensus estimate of 150,000 tracked by TradingEconomics.
The ADP report signaled ongoing moderation in wage growth. Pay increases for job stayers in January edged up 4.7% year-over-year, while job changers saw salary gains of 6.8%, down from 7.1% in December.
These figures suggest that while the labor market remains strong, wage pressures are easing—a key factor for the Federal Reserve as it assesses the timing of potential interest rate cuts in 2025.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reactions</h3>
The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) – as tracked by the Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>) – inched slightly higher minutes after the release, trimming losses for the day. 
Futures on major U.S. indices edged lower during premarket trading in New York. The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) was 0.4% lower by 8:25 a.m. ET. 
Shares of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) were 2.4% and 7.2% lower, respectively, weighing on tech-heavy indices. 
Gold – tracked by SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>) – continued to extend record highs, with the bullion rising to $2,870 per ounce, approaching double-digit gains year-to-date.

Private Employment Rises By 183,000, Beats Estimates In January: 'Consumer-Facing Industries Drove Hiring'

Atlassian's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEAM#NYSE">TEAM</a>) short percent of float has risen 7.72% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 4.49 million shares sold short, which is 2.79% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.45 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Atlassian has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Atlassian's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Atlassian's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.02%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Qualcomm Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) will release its first quarter fiscal 2025 financial results, after the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/QCOM/earnings">closing bell, on Wednesday.</a>
Analysts expect the San Diego, California-based company to report quarterly earnings at $2.96 per share, up from $2.75 per share in the year-ago period. Qualcomm projects quarterly revenue of $10.9 billion, compared to $9.92 billion a year earlier, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
On Jan. 17, Barclays analyst Tom O&#8217;Malley maintained Qualcomm with an Overweight rating and lowered the price target from $200 to $185.
With the recent buzz around Qualcomm, some investors may be eyeing potential gains from the company's dividends too. As of now, Qualcomm offers an annual dividend yield of 1.96%, which is a quarterly dividend amount of 85 cents per share (3.40 a year).  
So, how can investors exploit its dividend yield to pocket a regular $500 monthly?
To earn $500 per month or $6,000 annually from dividends alone, you would need an investment of approximately $305,416 or around 1,765 shares. For a more modest $100 per month or $1,200 per year, you would need $61,083 or around 353 shares.
To calculate: Divide the desired annual income ($6,000 or $1,200) by the dividend ($3.40 in this case). So, $6,000 / $3.40 = 1,765 ($500 per month), and $1,200 / $3.40 = 353 shares ($100 per month).
Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.
How that works: The dividend yield is computed by dividing the annual dividend payment by the stock&#8217;s current price.
For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and is currently priced at $50, the dividend yield would be 4% ($2/$50). However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield drops to 3.33% ($2/$60). Conversely, if the stock price falls to $40, the dividend yield rises to 5% ($2/$40).
Similarly, changes in the dividend payment can impact the yield. If a company increases its dividend, the yield will also increase, provided the stock price stays the same. Conversely, if the dividend payment decreases, so will the yield.

WASHINGTON — While copper, lithium, nickel and cobalt often grab headlines when it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/06/39554280/exclusive-glencore-other-experts-say-us-permitting-system-holding-back-domestic-battery-metals-indus">comes to battery metals</a>, there is an array of other minerals important to the energy transition away from fossil fuels.



As the importance of manganese, graphite, silicon and fluorspar grows alongside demand for electric vehicles and renewable energy storage, that dynamic also highlights China's dominance of these industries.



As government leaders in the United States and Europe work to build out their ex-China supply chains for a host of critical and strategic minerals, industry executives gathered at a recent&nbsp;Benchmark Mineral Intelligence&nbsp;mining conference in Washington, D.C., to discuss minerals and geopolitics.

Here's a look at what they had to say:



Manganese



"We're all facing the issue of China, where the dominance is," said&nbsp;Danny Keating, CEO of&nbsp;Giyani Metals Corp.&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CATPF#OTC">CATPF</a>), a Canadian miner developing manganese assets in Botswana. "We're no different in manganese."



Giyani is looking to help bolster the ex-China supply chain for manganese, he said.&nbsp;



Manganese is mined in multiple countries around the world, but more than 90% of the world's refined manganese comes from China. That creates a key choke point for a material used in lithium batteries.&nbsp;



Batteries, which account for 2%-3% of global manganese demand, are the largest market for the metal outside of its use as an alloy in various metals, according to the&nbsp;International Manganese Institute. The industry group said manganese is the fourth most used metal in the world based on tonnage, behind only iron, aluminum and copper.



Manganese ore prices rallied earlier in the year when a cyclone took out production at an Australian mine owned by&nbsp;South32 Ltd.&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOUHY#OTC">SOUHY</a>) and&nbsp;Anglo American&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NGLOY#OTC">NGLOY</a>), halting 12% of global supply, according to&nbsp;S&amp;P Global Commodity Insights.&nbsp;



Prices have since pulled back but remain elevated compared to the beginning of the year.



Aside from Giyani, other small publicly traded companies involved in manganese include&nbsp;Euro Manganese Inc.&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EUMNF#OTC">EUMNF</a>) and&nbsp;Manganese X Energy Corp.&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MNXXF#OTC">MNXXF</a>).



Graphite



After spending the better part of a decade in the lithium business,&nbsp;Vincent Ledoux-Pedailles&nbsp;three months ago took a job as the chief commercial officer for privately-held New Zealand-based&nbsp;CarbonScape Ltd.



The venture-capital backed company is commercializing technology to make graphite more sustainably than the current synthetic or natural versions. Its process turn waste from the timber industry into what it calls "biographite"



Because the process uses cheap wood chips, Ledoux-Pedailles said the technology can produce graphite at a lower cost than in China, which dominates graphite production.



The company points out that its process can be used anywhere in the world, enabling nations concerned about critical materials to produce graphite locally, potentially freeing electric vehicle markets in Europe and North America from China's grip on the material.



CarbonScape's last round of funding raised $18 million in September, according to private market data provider&nbsp;PitchBook. Ledoux-Pedailles said at the conference that the company plans to have another round of financing later this year.



Publicly-traded graphite companies include&nbsp;Graphite One Inc.&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GPHOF#OTC">GPHOF</a>) and&nbsp;Nouveau Monde Graphite (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NMG#NYSE">NMG</a>).



Silicon



While graphite has proven its use in lithium batteries, silicon is more of an emerging technology.



Silicon can hold more energy than graphite, but the material swells during charging, degrades over time and is too expensive for mass use in electric vehicles.



Several companies are working on improving silicon battery technology because it holds the potential to increase electric-vehicle range, decrease charging times and lower battery costs.



One of those companies is venture-capital backed&nbsp;Advano, which last month announced the final stage of commissioning at its industrial pilot plant in anticipation of beginning production.



The company's CEO,&nbsp;Chris York, said at the conference that the industry needs to lower the cost of batteries and remove supply chain control from China.



"You don't have to make a profit in China," he said. "Everything is state-owned at the end of the day."



Publicly traded silicon companies include&nbsp;HPQ Silicon Inc.&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HPQFF#OTC">HPQFF</a>) and&nbsp;Ferroglobe&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GSM#NASDAQ">GSM</a>).



Fluorspar



The Oregon Group, an investment research firm, recently called fluorspar "the EV critical mineral no one has heard of."



The mineral is often used to make refrigerants, steel and aluminum, as well as to process uranium.&nbsp;



There is also more fluorspar contained in a lithium-ion electric battery than there is lithium, and, according to Benchmark, demand for electric vehicles and renewable energy storage promises to increase the use of fluorspar.



"We need investment in fluorspar mining now just like we needed (in) lithium mining 10 years ago," said James Rodriguez de Castro, managing director of privately held Mongolian Minerals, a mining company specializing in fluorspar.



China is by far the world's biggest fluorspar miner, followed by Mexico and Mongolia. But China only has about 10 years' worth of supply based on reserves and production rate, he said.



In Mongolia, the executive has been building up and exploring a portfolio of fluorspar mining and exploration licenses.



Mongolian Minerals needs $200 per metric ton to mine fluorspar and ship it to China, he said. Fluorspar in China ended the first quarter at $462 per metric ton, according to chemical market intelligence firm&nbsp;ChemAnalyst.



Investors looking for publicly-traded fluorspar companies can consider&nbsp;Ares Strategic Mining Inc. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARSMF#OTC">ARSMF</a>) and&nbsp;Energy Transition Minerals Ltd.&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDLNF#OTC">GDLNF</a>), although the latter's project containing fluorspar in Greenland is in arbitration.
