Here's How Much $100 Invested In Fair Isaac 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

One of the more unusual trades by a member of Congress in 2024 was Rep. Mike Collins (R-Ga.) buying meme cryptocurrency Ski Mask Dog Coin (CRYPTO:SKI), which led to the crypto soaring in value and later hitting all-time highs shortly<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42330146/congressman-buys-meme-coins-ski-mask-dog-coin-climbs-in-value-after-disclosure-i-liked-the-coins-so-i-bought-them"> after the disclosure.</a>
A new filing shows Collins bought more after his last disclosure.
What Happened: The trading activity of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/congress-trading">members of Congress</a> continues to be closely followed by investors as stock purchases can come ahead of key information and potential gains.
While members of Congress likely don't have the same alleged insider information when it comes to cryptocurrency, trading activity in the sector warrants close monitoring, especially when it involves a meme cryptocurrency valued at around $225 million.
On Jan. 1, Collins disclosed that he purchased another $1,000 to $15,000 worth of Ski Mask Dog, adding to his previous disclosures in early December that he bought $2,000 to $30,000 worth of the meme coin.
The transaction, which can be viewed on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/gov-trades">Benzinga's Government Trades page</a>, came on Dec. 3. That means that the same day that Collins' previous disclosed purchases began hitting the news, the Congressman was buying more of the coin.
Collins' latest trade was once again marked as unusual by several prominent social media accounts that track congressional trading activity.
<ul>
<li>"BREAKING: US politician Michael Collins has yet again bought crypto. He bought up to $15,000 of SKI MASK DOG, $SKI, crypto. Unusual," Unusual Whales <a href="https://x.com/unusual_whales/status/1874845104076390422">tweeted</a>.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>"Congressman @RepMikeCollins just disclosed he bought more Ski Mask Dog on 12/3, the same day news of his first purchase broke and the coin rallied. So a Congressman single-handedly moved a market, then bought more, and disclosed it a month later," Congresstrading <a href="https://x.com/congresstrading/status/1874851774856884636">tweeted</a>.</li>
</ul>
Collins previously confirmed the purchase with Decrypt and also responded to a previous tweet from Unusual Whales with a meme of Pepe the Frog, a well-known image in the crypto community thanks to the meme cryptocurrency Pepe.
&#8220;I liked the coins, so I bought them,&#8221; Collins previously told Decrypt. &#8220;Washington and Wall Street have stigmatized emerging technology in the crypto ecosystem for far too long, and it&#8217;s about time that we start treating the industry with the respect it deserves.&#8221;
When asked about meme coins and if they need to be disclosed by members of Congress for trading activity, Collins said yes.
&#8220;Meme coins should certainly be treated as any other asset, digital or otherwise.&#8221;

</ul>
Why It's Important: Ski Mask Dog coin rallied in December after Collins first purchase was disclosed.
The coin hit an all-time high of $0.3639 on Dec. 5 after the Congressman's first purchase disclosure. The latest trade disclosure shows that Collins also bought more Ski Mask Dog coin on Dec. 3 ahead of the all-time highs.
Collins, who won re-election in the 2024 election, has previously disclosed buying and selling cryptocurrencies like Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), Aerodrome (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">AERO</a>), Velodrome (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">VELO</a>) and The Graph (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">GRT</a>).
Collins' purchases of Ethereum have been larger in recent disclosures compared to the meme coin he recently bought. The congressman has also disclosed selling some of the cryptocurrencies in the past, which could make the recent meme coin buy one to watch in case he later shows he sold it after the recent gains.
Calls to ban members of Congress from buying stocks and options have grown, with President Joe Biden recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42538504/biden-endorses-ban-of-congressional-stock-trading-nobody-in-the-congress-should-be-able-to-make-money-in-the-stock-market-while-in-office">endorsing a ban </a>on Congress trading.
When it comes to members of Congress buying and selling cryptocurrencies, there is less support and it is less mentioned in potential legislation.
&#8220;Nobody in the Congress should be able to make money in the stock market while they&#8217;re in the Congress,&#8221; Biden said, failing to mention cryptocurrency.
Members of Congress are currently allowed to buy and sell stocks, options, cryptocurrency and make other investments as long as they are disclosed in 45 days.
Collins' trade, which happened nearly 30 days ago and came as his past trade in the same coin may have led to the price soaring could spark interest in putting the same ban on cryptocurrency. With pro-crypto President-elect Donald Trump taking office later this month, more members of Congress could be looking to add cryptocurrency to their investment portfolios.
Ski Mask Dog, which began trading in 2024, is up 6% in the past day.
The meme cryptocurrency currently trades at $0.2246 at the time of writing Thursday, versus a one-month range of $0.1472 to $0.3639.

If You Invested $100 In This Stock 5 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today

Running a small, family-owned business is already a challenge, but having a corporate giant like Dunkin&#8217; (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DNKN#NASDAQ">DNKN</a>) set up shop right next door takes it to another level. That's the reality for one coffee drive-thru owner, who recently <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/smallbusiness/comments/1hhes7t/i_own_a_small_family_owned_coffee_drive_thru/">shared</a> <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/12/42727607/a-homebuyer-posts-were-not-falling-for-this-again-issuing-a-warning-to-fellow-house-hunters-on-local-boards">their frustration on social media and sought advice</a>. The post received significant attention, with over a thousand people offering support and suggestions.
&#8220;I&#8217;m honestly a little shook up and angry,&#8221; the post began. &#8220;Does anyone have any advice on how I should approach this or what I should be feeling?&#8221;
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>The global games market is projected to generate $272B by the end of the year —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/gameflip"> for $0.55/share, this VC-backed startup with a 7M+ userbase gives investors easy access to this asset market.</a></li>
<li>Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl"> you can become an investor for $0.80 per share today.</a></li>
</ul>
The responses poured in, ranging from strategic advice to words of encouragement.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Turn Competition Into Opportunity</h2>
Several commenters pointed out that Dunkin&#8217;s decision to open nearby could actually validate the location&#8217;s potential. One user noted, &#8220;They thought the area was good enough for their third location, so it must be great for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/24/04/38237838/bad-news-chocolate-and-coffee-lovers-prices-are-only-going-higher">coffee</a>. Use that to your advantage.&#8221; By drawing more coffee lovers to the area, Dunkin&#8217; might unintentionally bring new customers to the local drive-thru as well.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Double Down on Quality</h2>
The overwhelming consensus was to focus on what you do best. &#8220;Make better coffee, which you probably already do, understand what chains can&#8217;t offer and offer that. Cleaner, more comfortable eating area,&#8221; one commenter advised.&nbsp;

Others suggested emphasizing freshly made products, like pastries and specialty drinks, that big chains simply can&#8217;t replicate. &#8220;Dunkin&#8217; food and baked goods come packaged and frozen. A good local coffee joint that makes their food fresh every morning will get my business 100% of the time over a franchise like Dunkin, Starbucks or Tim Hortons,&#8221; said another.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Lean Into Local Roots</h2>
Being a family-owned business offers a competitive edge that corporations can't match. One advice was to highlight community involvement: &#8220;I would develop some strong talking points about how you&#8217;re local, family-owned, keep the money in the community, etc., where Dunkin&#8217; is a corporation that sends your community&#8217;s hard-earned money back to HQ.&#8221; Others recommended showcasing the personal side of the business, like the faces behind the counter or stories about how the shop started.
Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $70 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Be Bold with Marketing</h2>
Several responses encouraged creative and even humorous marketing strategies. Ideas included putting up signs like &#8220;Support Local&#8221; or &#8220;Better Coffee, No Drive-Thru Lines.&#8221; One user suggested a tongue-in-cheek approach: &#8220;Put a sign out front: ‘Fresh 20oz coffee: $2.99 here. 20oz $4.99 coffee go there.'&#8221;
This small coffee drive-thru owner's story shows how hard it can be for small businesses to compete when big chains move in. But it also proves how creative and tough local business owners can be. As one commenter wisely said, &#8220;Don&#8217;t discount customer loyalty … a lot of folks don&#8217;t like big corporations coming in to try and hurt small, local businesses.&#8221;

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Insmed Stock In The Last 10 Years

Las Vegas Sheriff Kevin McMahill announced Thursday that investigators now suspect the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/01/42757028/tesla-cybertruck-ignites-outside-trump-international-hotel-in-las-vegas">explosion of a Tesla Cybertruck</a> outside the Trump International Hotel on New Year&#8217;s Day was likely a suicide.
Speaking at a news conference Thursday, McMahill revealed that evidence suggests the driver died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound moments before the vehicle exploded. A firearm was found at the driver's feet inside the charred vehicle, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/01/02/las-vegas-explosion-tesla-cybertruck-trump-hotel-colorado/">according to</a> the Washington Post.
Authorities are still working to confirm the driver's identity, as the body was burned beyond recognition. Preliminary evidence, they said, points to 37-year-old Matthew Livelsberger of Colorado Springs. 
Livelsberger was a Special Forces soldier on leave from a mission in Germany at the time of his death. He first enlisted in 2006 and had served multiple deployments, including to Afghanistan, the newspaper reported.
The FBI, as part of its Joint Terrorism Task Force, is investigating the case, which included searching a Colorado Springs residence on Thursday connected to the incident, though no further details were provided. "This activity is related to the explosion in Las Vegas," the FBI said in a statement.
Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk said on X that Tesla&#8217;s senior team is involved and has shared video footage from charging stations across the country.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Colleagues Shocked</h2>
Livelsberger's colleagues and former commanders expressed shock. Speaking on the condition of anonymity due to his work in the U.S. government, one soldier described Livelsberger as warm and caring, the Washington Post reported. 
Livelsberger held the rank of master sergeant and was assigned to the 10th Special Forces Group based in Colorado Springs.
Surveillance footage and Tesla data helped authorities track the Cybertruck's journey from Colorado to Las Vegas. The vehicle, rented in Colorado, arrived at the Trump Hotel around 7:30 a.m. Wednesday. It detonated an hour later. Video shared by authorities shows the truck, loaded with firework mortars and gas canisters, erupting in a fiery explosion near the hotel's entrance.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">FBI Says No Link Between Las Vegas, NOLA Attack</h2>
Meanwhile, the FBI addressed concerns over potential links between this incident and a separate attack in New Orleans earlier this week. 
"There is no definitive link between the attack here in New Orleans and the one in Las Vegas," Christopher Raia, deputy assistant director of the FBI's counterterrorism division, said at a Thursday news conference on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/01/42769136/turo-used-for-new-orleans-las-vegas-attacks-we-are-devastated-by-these-horrible-incidents">the New Orleans attack</a>.

Tesla Cybertruck Explosion Outside Trump Las Vegas Hotel Was Likely Suicide, Authorities Say

Key Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) analysts and influencers are out with their takes on the company's fourth-quarter delivery figures, which missed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/42766117/tesla-stock-tumbles-on-q4-deliveries-whats-going-on">analyst consensus estimates.</a>
Here's a look at what they are saying and why 2025 could be a make-or-break year.
Daniel Ives on TSLA: Wedbush analyst <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/dan-ives">Daniel Ives</a>, who is one of the biggest Tesla bulls on Wall Street, shared his take on Tesla's fourth-quarter delivery figures.
"TSLA announced its Q4 delivery numbers of 495.6k vehicles, below the Street's whisper number of ~500k. While knee jerk stock will be down, we view these as respectable numbers with all of our focus on the 2025 growth story and autonomous vision. Buyers today on any sell-off," Ives <a href="https://x.com/DivesTech/status/1874825698088722761">tweeted</a>.
Ives maintained an Outperform rating on Tesla with a $515 price target, as <a href="https://x.com/SawyerMerritt/status/1874825337894285750">shared </a>by Sawyer Merritt on X.
"We remain highly confident in Tesla's ability to accelerate delivery growth into FY25 with 20%-30% growth," Ives wrote in a new note.
Ross Gerber on TSLA: Tesla investor and Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management CEO <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/ross-gerber">Ross Gerber </a>took exception to the tweet from Ives above.
"Excuses. They used every discount they had to move vehicles and still couldn't. These Tesla numbers suck. No spin. Sorry," Gerber <a href="https://x.com/GerberKawasaki/status/1874829802097774881">tweeted </a>while sharing Ives' post.
Gerber went on to <a href="https://x.com/GerberKawasaki/status/1874830269154513235">criticize </a>Tesla's FSD v13 in another post and said the self-driving technology doesn't come close to Waymo's technology.
"No excuses FSD is not close."
Responding to a user who replied to Gerber's FSD post, the investment manager said, "close means nothing when it's people's life at risk."
"One can make excuses all day for Tesla but 2025 will be the prove it year… Can they grow sales? Can they grow profits ? Can they solve FSD? Can they make a new vehicle that is successful?&#8221; another Gerber <a href="https://x.com/GerberKawasaki/status/1874830913366048871">post </a>said.
Gerber <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41999238/long-time-tesla-bull-rages-as-elon-musk-reportedly-backs-trumps-plan-to-ax-7-5k-ev-credit-insanity">recently took exception</a> to news that Tesla CEO Elon Musk backs the elimination of the $7,500 EV tax credit, calling it "insanity."

Gene Munster on TSLA: Deepwater Asset Management co-founder <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/gene-munster">Gene Munster</a> said the "small" miss by Tesla Thursday doesn't matter to the long-term investment case for the stock.
"While Elon is focusing investors on autonomy, EV's still matter given those cars are the foundation of autonomy," Munster <a href="https://x.com/munster_gene/status/1874825401236934951">said</a>.
The investor said the deliveries figure missed the Street consensus by around 1%.
"All eyes now shift to Tesla earnings on Wednesday, Jan. 29. Besides the usual focus on margins, investors will be listening for updates to Musk delivery expectations for CY25."
Munster said one of the key questions is what Tesla and other EV companies' demand will look like outside of tax credits.
"I believe we'll be exiting the EV winter in 2025, and the segment will grow around 15% in 2025."
With Tesla shares falling Thursday, Munster suggested that part of the three-month rally in the stock&#8217;s price may have been driven by emotion. Similarly, he attributed Thursday&#8217;s decline to emotional reactions as well.
"While I'm bracing for a further pullback going into the January 29th earnings, I continue to believe that shares are undervalued over the long-term given Tesla's doing more in AI than any non-native AI company." 
The Delivery Figures: Tesla produced 459,445 vehicles and delivered 495,570 vehicles in the fourth quarter.
The delivery figure missed a street consensus estimate of 506,763 units, which Tesla shared <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/previews/24/12/42745852/tesla-q4-delivery-preview-will-2024-stock-gains-hold-as-growth-slows">ahead of the report.</a>
Tesla had deliveries of 484,507 in last year's fourth quarter.
With the new report, Tesla's full-year delivery total is now 1.79 million units for 2024, down from a record 1.81 million in 2023. Tesla needed to report fourth-quarter deliveries of around 515,000 units to beat the 2023 full year total.
Thursday's report was the first time Tesla's annual delivery total has declined on a year-over-year basis.
Tesla previously said it expected to post growth in vehicle deliveries in 2024 and fell shy of that mark.
The comments from Ives, Gerber and Munster highlight the importance of 2025 in getting the company back on track with vehicle growth and other upcoming catalysts.
TSLA Price Action: Tesla stock was down 6% to $379.28 on Thursday, versus a 52-week trading range of $138.80 to $488.54. Tesla stock was up around 62% in 2024.

The California-based company derives slightly less than 90% of its revenue from Google services, the vast majority of which is advertising sales. Alongside online ads, Google services houses sales stemming from Google's subscription services (YouTube TV, YouTube Music among others), platforms (sales and in-app purchases on Play Store), and devices (Chromebooks, Pixel smartphones, and smart home products such as Chromecast). Google's cloud computing platform, or GCP, accounts for roughly 10% of Alphabet's revenue with the firm's investments in up-and-coming technologies such as self-driving cars (Waymo), health (Verily), and internet access (Google Fiber) making up the rest.

$100 Invested In Ares Management 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Goldman Sachs research kicked off the new year with bold stock picks and a spotlight on five investment themes poised to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/12/42710358/veteran-investor-bets-big-on-sp-500-hitting-7000-by-end-of-2025-these-sectors-could-lead-the-charge">shape markets in 2025.</a>
What Happened: In a note shared Thursday, the analyst team led by Steven Kron shuffled its &#8220;Conviction List&#8221; — a carefully curated portfolio of top investment ideas.
Goldman Sachs added Belden Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BDC#NYSE">BDC</a>), Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NCLH#NYSE">NCLH</a>), and Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) to the list. These companies replaced Fox Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOXA#NASDAQ">FOXA</a>), Parker Hannifin Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PH#NYSE">PH</a>), and TPG Inc. (TPG).

Why It Matters: Industrial tech is back in vogue. Analyst Mark Delaney sees Belden riding a cyclical industrial recovery while expanding its high-margin software solutions business. Delaney models earnings per share (EPS) above consensus estimates for both 2025 and 2026, making this a standout pick in the industrial space.
Cruises are sailing into a stronger 2025. Analyst Lizzie Dove cites accelerating Net Purchase Intent (NPI) data and cost savings from a 2023 management shuffle. Dove expects Norwegian to widen its yield-to-unit-cost spread by 2.5 percentage points, bringing its valuation closer to peer Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RCL#NYSE">RCL</a>).
Analyst Eric Sheridan remains bullish on Uber despite skepticism over its mobility business and the rise of autonomous vehicles. He forecasts a robust 39% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in adjusted EBITDA from 2023-2026. According to the bank, Uber is set to deliver $3.50 in GAAP EPS by 2026—a projection that sits 7% above consensus. Goldman Sachs holds a 12-month price target of $96 on Uber stock, implying a nearly 60% upside from current market levels.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Key Themes For 2025: AI, M&amp;A, Deglobalization, And More</h3>
The investment bank also outlined five key themes to track as we enter the new year.
<ul>
<li>Artificial Intelligence: Goldman's Kash Rangan expects AI investment to shift in 2025, moving from infrastructure spending to platforms and applications. In a recent note, Rangan highlighted the increasing integration of AI into enterprise software. Stocks with exposure to this trend include Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Snowflake Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>) and Teradyne Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TER#NASDAQ">TER</a>).</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>De-regulation, M&amp;A, And Capital Markets Rebound: Regulatory changes under a potential second Trump administration could accelerate M&amp;A activity, Goldman analysts say. Financial firms like Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>), Evercore Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EVR#NYSE">EVR</a>), and S&amp;P Global (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPGI#NYSE">SPGI</a>) are positioned to benefit. Analyst Richard Ramsden recently indicated a more favorable environment for banks and financial advisors.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Re-powering America: Carly Davenport flagged the surging power demands of data centers and AI compute, noting this trend is driving sustained growth in utilities capex. Her team stressed the importance of energy infrastructure to support the transportation electrification. Stocks like DBA Sempra (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SRE#NYSE">SRE</a>) is Goldman&#8217;s top pick here.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Deglobalization: The era of tariff wars is far from over. Jan Hatzius and economics team expect a 20 percentage point hike in tariffs on Chinese imports and new duties on European autos and Mexican EVs. Companies like Vulcan Materials Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VMC#NYSE">VMC</a>) and Woodward Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WWD#NASDAQ">WWD</a>) are well-positioned to adapt to supply chain disruptions caused by these policies.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Resilient US Consumers: Despite macro concerns, Goldman Sachs continues to paint another strong year for U.S. consumers. Discretionary cash flow is expected to grow by 5.2% in 2025, up from 4.4% in 2024, supported by higher savings rates. Stocks to watch include Norwegian Cruise Line, Uber, Burlington Stores Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BURL#NYSE">BURL</a>), and Pinterest Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PINS#NYSE">PINS</a>).</li>

$100 Invested In Arthur J. Gallagher 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Investors dumped a popular long-dated Treasury ETF at a record pace in December, fleeing the bond market as surging yields and fiscal uncertainty cast a shadow ahead of President-elect Donald Trump's return <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">to the White House.</a>
The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>), the largest Treasury-focused exchange-traded fund with $50 billion in assets under management, recorded $5.5 billion in outflows last month. 
This marks the fund's largest single-month outflows in its history, surpassing the $4 billion withdrawn during the pandemic-driven turmoil in March 2020.
On the performance front, the fund tumbled by 7.1% in December, recording the worst drop since September 2023.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Yields Soar As Trump Policies Ignite Inflation Risks</h3>
Yields on 30-year Treasury bonds climbed sharply, gaining more than 40 basis points in December to close the year at 4.80%. That's the highest level in over a year, driven by concerns about rising inflation and shifting monetary policy.
The Federal Reserve, which delivered a 25-basis-point interest rate cut in December, sounded hawkish in its accompanying guidance.
Officials signaled fewer rate cuts in 2025 than markets had expected and raised inflation forecasts to reflect upcoming administration policies.
&#8220;The&nbsp;Bond&nbsp;Vigilantes are sending a loud warning message,&#8221; said Ed Yardeni, president of Yardeni Research, in a recent note. 
&#8220;They aren&#8217;t convinced Donald Trump, the new sheriff coming to town, will maintain fiscal law and order any better than the old sheriff. They are also losing their confidence in Jerome Powell, the deputy in charge of monetary law and order,&#8221; he added.
In a recent report, Bravos Research highlighted that&nbsp;the 10-year&nbsp;Treasury&nbsp;yield&nbsp;rocketed from 3.6% in September to 4.6% in late December, implying a 25% increase in just 100 trading sessions.
&#8220;Moves like this are rare and have massive implications for the stock market,&#8221; the Bravos Research Team wrote. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Trump's Policies Add To Market Jitters</h3>
Investor anxiety over Trump's incoming administration added another layer of complexity to the bond market.
Trump has floated the idea of scrapping the federal debt ceiling, a controversial move that could enable unchecked government borrowing and stoke inflationary pressures.
Such a policy would effectively remove a key restraint on federal deficits, raising alarm among bond investors already bracing for fiscal expansion.
"There's now more bad reasons for the rise in yields," Yardeni stated. 
As the expert highlighted, while stronger-than-expected economic data in the second half of 2024 initially pushed bond yields higher, the recent decline in the Citigroup Economic Surprise Index has shifted focus to structural concerns, such as persistent inflation risks and growing deficits.
Investors are also bracing for potential trade turbulence, as Trump has pledged to impose a universal 10% tariff and hike tariffs on Chinese imports to 60%. These measures, if enacted, could exacerbate inflationary pressures and add fuel to the bond market&#8217;s recent turmoil.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Treasury Department Breach Highlights New Risks</h3>
Compounding the challenges in December, the U.S. Treasury Department confirmed it was the target of a Chinese state-sponsored cyberattack. 
Hackers compromised a third-party vendor, BeyondTrust, and gained access to unclassified documents, according to a <a href="https://legacy.www.documentcloud.org/documents/25472740-letter-to-chairman-brown-and-ranking-member-scott/">letter</a> sent to lawmakers.
The major breach allowed hackers to override security protocols and access Treasury workstations via a stolen key. 
The Treasury Department said it became aware of the attack on Dec. 8 and is working with the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to assess the damage.
