On Monday, the People&#8217;s Bank of China (PBOC) announced that it would cut the seven-day reverse repo rate to 1.7% from 1.8% and reduce the one-year loan prime rate (LPR) to 3.35% from 3.45%.
Additionally, China lowered the five-year LPR to 3.85% from 3.95%. These measures aim to boost economic activity and achieve the growth targets set during the recent plenum, Reuters reports.
The PBOC has also adjusted its lending programs. Starting in July, it will lower the collateral requirements for its medium-term lending facility loans.
Now, banks will need to hold fewer long-term bonds, enabling them to trade more freely and supporting the central bank&#8217;s efforts to stabilize long-term yields and prevent a bond bubble.
Following the rate cuts, Chinese sovereign bond yields fell, with 10-year and 30-year yields dropping by up to 3 basis points before stabilizing. China&#8217;s 30-year treasury futures for September 2024 delivery rose by approximately 0.3% in early trade on Monday.

What Happened: TSMC&#8217;s shares dropped 1.25% in the U.S. pre-market on Monday after a more than 3% fall in Taipei.
Other Taiwanese stocks, including United Microelectronics Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UMC#NYSE">UMC</a>) and ASE Technology Holding Co., Ltd.

Reaffirms&nbsp;Outlook&nbsp;for Fiscal Year 2025
The Company reaffirms its&nbsp;guidance&nbsp;for Fiscal Year 2025 for Vista Outdoor, as well as The Kinetic Group and Revelyst. The Company expects the following results for Fiscal Year 2025, among other&nbsp;guidance&nbsp;previously disclosed:
<ul>
<li>Sales in the range of&nbsp;$2.665 billion&nbsp;to&nbsp;$2.775 billion
<ul>
<li>The Kinetic Group Sales expected to be approximately&nbsp;$1.425 billion&nbsp;to&nbsp;$1.475 billion</li>
<li>Revelyst Sales expected to be approximately&nbsp;$1.240 billion&nbsp;to&nbsp;$1.300 billion</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Adjusted EBITDA in the range of&nbsp;$410 million&nbsp;to&nbsp;$490 million1
<ul>
<li>The Kinetic Group adjusted EBITDA expected to be approximately&nbsp;$350 million&nbsp;to&nbsp;$400 million</li>
<li>Revelyst adjusted EBITDA expected to be approximately&nbsp;$130 million&nbsp;to&nbsp;$160 million</li>

</li>
</ul>
Vista Outdoor expects that Revelyst will pursue a 12-month&nbsp;$50 million&nbsp;share repurchase program following the closing of the CSG Transaction, subject to approval by the Revelyst Board of Directors.
Preliminary&nbsp;Q1&nbsp;2025 Financial Results
Revelyst Results
<ul>
<li>Sales are expected to decrease to a range of&nbsp;$272 million&nbsp;to&nbsp;$276 million. The decline relative to FY2024&nbsp;Q1&nbsp;was primarily driven by&nbsp;$13 million&nbsp;of orders expected in&nbsp;Q1&nbsp;shifting to&nbsp;Q2&nbsp;due to challenges related to shipping filled orders at the end of the quarter and delayed new product introductions to&nbsp;Q2, strong new product launches at Bushnell Golf in the prior year period, the divestiture of the RCBS brand, year over year pre-order delivery timing delays at Revelyst Adventure Sports and the February 2024 fire at Fiber Energy&#39;s main production facility that temporarily shuttered operations, partially offset by another quarter of growth at Foresight from the strong launch of the QuadMAX and Foresight Falcon product offerings, the launch of the Gridiron line of flat top griddles at Camp Chef, and an increase in government sales as we increase our focus on our support of our freedom fighters both domestically and internationally.</li>
<li>Operating income2&nbsp;is expected to be in the range of&nbsp;($2.5)&nbsp;million to&nbsp;($0.5)&nbsp;million.</li>
<li>Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of&nbsp;$14.5 million&nbsp;to&nbsp;$16.5 million. The decrease relative to FY2024&nbsp;Q1&nbsp;was primarily driven by lower volume due to the factors described in the sales discussion above partially offset by&nbsp;$5 million&nbsp;in realized cost savings from the GEAR Up transformation program, reduced ocean freight rates at Revelyst Adventure Sports and component cost savings at Revelyst Precision Sports Technology.</li>

President Joe Biden has chosen to step down from his position, causing a stir in the stock market and sparking speculation <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/07/39874057/biden-drops-out-of-2024-race-in-bombshell-announcement-it-has-been-the-greatest-honor-of-my-life">about the potential Democratic nominee</a>.
What Happened: The President&#8217;s decision, though not entirely unforeseen, has ignited the stock market. Recent polls had shown a widening lead for Donald Trump over Biden, following a lackluster debate performance, a failed assassination attempt on Trump, and the Republican convention.
The stock market had already begun shifting its focus towards the so-called &#8220;Trump trade,&#8221; <a href="https://www.barrons.com/amp/articles/stock-market-futures-biden-quits-0d4e8066">reports</a> Barron&#8217;s. 
However, it&#8217;s still unclear how much of the recent trading activity was due to the increased likelihood of a Trump victory versus lower inflation and greater chances of a Federal Reserve rate cut. 
Last week, the S&amp;P 500 fell 2%, and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 3.6%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.7%.

With Biden&#8217;s departure, the Democrats are now left with the task of deciding on a nominee. Biden has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, but other potential candidates include Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and California Governor Gavin Newsom.
According to Morgan Stanley strategist Michael Zezas, the policy uncertainty is minimal, as investors expect the current policies to continue under any candidate. 
"In any case, the change may drive investors to question if Trump will continue to be a heavy favorite and what, if any, changes to post-election policy paths are possible," he said.
However, the odds of a Trump win and a Republican-controlled House and Senate add to the uncertainty.
Why It Matters: The Cboe Volatility Index, or VIX, has already seen a rise in recent weeks. If the market interprets Biden&#8217;s exit as increasing the chances of a Trump presidency, stocks could potentially rise. 
&#8220;Biden stepping down is a whole new level of political uncertainty,&#8221; wrote Gina Bolvin, president of Bolvin Wealth Management Group. &#8220;This may be the catalyst for market volatility that is overdue.&#8221;

Petrobras New CEO Vows To Fuel Brazil's Growth Engine: Report

Ecopetrol&nbsp;S.A.&nbsp;(NYSE:&nbsp;EC) is reportedly analyzing its potential direct participation in the Andean country&#8217;s first-ever offshore wind auction.



The government of President Gustavo Petro, Colombia&#8217;s first leftist leader, stated that it wants to reduce the Andean country&#8217;s dependence on fossil fuels&nbsp;along with ensuring&nbsp;energy self-sufficiency, reported Reuters.



The bidders in the auction for concessions off the country&#8217;s Caribbean coast are mandated to demonstrate some sort of partnership deal with a public or mixed-ownership company in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/38591245">order to be awarded a concession.</a>



The energy minister Andres Camacho&nbsp;told Reuters&nbsp;in December that potential private bidders&nbsp;will be able to&nbsp;choose from various companies with public participation.



The report quoted Colombia&#8217;s majority state-owned energy company as saying, &#8220;Ecopetrol is carrying out the technical, economic&nbsp;and&nbsp;legal analyses of its potential participation in the offshore wind auction process.&#8221;&nbsp;



&#8220;Participating in the offshore wind auction will allow us to access reliable renewable energy to leverage the entry of green hydrogen projects and their derivatives.&#8221;&nbsp;



The company disclosed that they are discussing potential partnerships to develop offshore wind projects with several companies,&nbsp;as&nbsp;per the report.



The auction process will&nbsp;be overseen&nbsp;by the government&#8217;s National Hydrocarbons Agency (ANH)&nbsp;and&nbsp;the registration deadline is June 21, 2024.



Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;First Trust Indxx Global Natural Resources Income ETF&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FTRI#NASDAQ">FTRI</a>).
