Bloomberg Reported President-Elect Trump Said Monday On His First Day In Office He Would Impose A 25% Tariff On All Products From Mexico, Canada, Plus Additional 10% Tariff On Goods From China

President-elect Donald Trump has announced plans to impose a 25% tariff on all products from Mexico and Canada in response to the ongoing border crisis, stirring economic concerns.
What Happened: Trump took to Truth Social on Monday, to express his concern over the increasing number of people crossing the borders from Mexico and Canada into the United States. He described the situation as an &#8220;invasion&#8221; and blamed it for rising crime and drug levels.
Trump stated that he would sign an executive order on the first day of his administration to impose a 25% tariff on all products entering the U.S. from Mexico and Canada. He added that the tariff would remain in effect until the drug and illegal immigration issues are resolved. &#8220;Both Mexico and Canada have the absolute right and power to easily solve this long simmering problem. We hereby demand that they use this power, and until such time that they do, it is time for them to pay a very big price!&#8221; Trump criticized China for failing to curb the flow of fentanyl into the U.S. despite promises of harsh penalties for drug dealers. He claimed the drugs, largely entering through Mexico, are at unprecedented levels, announcing a 10% tariff hike on Chinese imports, above any additional tariffs, until the issue is addressed. &#8220;Thank you for your attention to this matter,&#8221; he said in a separate post.

Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s proposed tariffs have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/42058282/trumps-tariffs-could-have-severe-consequences-for-us-defense-sector-beijing-adviser-warns">raised concerns</a> among economists and industry experts. Ding Yifan, a researcher at China&#8217;s State Council's Development Research Center, warned that such tariffs could significantly impact the U.S. economy, particularly the defense sector.
Moreover, a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/42042411/inflation-could-surge-to-3-if-trump-applies-universal-tariffs-goldman-sachs">Goldman Sachs economist</a>&nbsp;predicted that a universal tariff could push inflation back to 3%, complicating the Federal Reserve&#8217;s efforts to keep inflation at 2%.
Renowned economist Mohamed El-Erian also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/42058282/trumps-tariffs-could-have-severe-consequences-for-us-defense-sector-beijing-adviser-warns">cautioned against oversimplifying</a> Trump&#8217;s tariff strategies, emphasizing that the issue is complex and requires a nuanced analysis. While Trump&#8217;s tariff proposals are likely to hurt companies with international supply chains, others like those in the software or entertainment industry like Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) that don&#8217;t sell physical products are likely to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/24/11/42144357/5-stocks-to-buy-before-tariffs-kick-in">remain protected</a> from any negative impact. Companies that have reliable production units outside China are also likely to benefit, these include names like AutoZone Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZO#NYSE">AZO</a>) and Hasbro Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HAS#NASDAQ">HAS</a>).

Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) today experienced a Power Inflow, a significant event for those who follow where smart money goes and value order flow analytics in their trading decisions. 
Today, at 10:01 AM on November 25th, a significant trading signal occurred for Coinbase Global , Inc. as it demonstrated a Power Inflow at a price of $294.76. This indicator is crucial for traders who want to know directionally where institutions and so-called "smart money" moves in the market. They see the value of utilizing order flow analytics to guide their trading decisions. The Power Inflow points to a possible uptrend in Coinbase&#8217;s stock, marking a potential entry point for traders looking to capitalize on the expected upward movement. Traders with this signal closely watch for sustained momentum in Coinbase&#8217;s stock price, interpreting this event as a bullish sign.
Signal description
Order flow analytics, aka transaction or market flow analysis, separate and study both the retail and institutional volume rate of orders (flow). It involves analyzing the flow of buy and sell orders, along with size, timing, and other associated characteristics and patterns, to gain insights and make more informed trading decisions. This particular indicator is interpreted as a bullish signal by active traders.&nbsp;
The Power Inflow occurs within the first two hours of the market open and generally signals the trend that helps gauge the stock&#8217;s overall direction, powered by institutional activity in the stock, for the remainder of the day.&nbsp;
By incorporating order flow analytics into their trading strategies, market participants can better interpret market conditions, identify trading opportunities, and potentially improve their trading performance. But let's not forget that while watching smart money flow can provide valuable insights, it is crucial to incorporate effective risk management strategies to protect capital and mitigate potential losses. Employing a consistent and effective risk management plan helps traders navigate the uncertainties of the market in a more controlled and calculated manner, increasing the likelihood of long-term success

Tradepulse Power Inflow Alert: Coinbase Global Inc. Climbs Over 20 Points After Signal

Bernard Looney, former CEO of oil and gas giant BP plc, said on Sunday he will join AI data center start-up, Prometheus Hyperscale, as the chairman of the <a href="https://www.prometheushyperscale.com/news/bernard-looney-appointed-chairman">board of directors. </a>
The Details: Looney resigned from his position at BP last year after an investigation <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/sep/12/bp-boss-bernard-looney-to-resign-after-failing-to-reveal-ties-with-colleagues">revealed</a> he had not properly disclosed previous relationships with colleagues before becoming CEO. Looney is taking his more than 30 years of experience in the energy industry to the Wyoming-based start-up Prometheus Hyperscale.&nbsp;
Looney told the New York Times in an interview he would be helping Prometheus attract AI hyperscalers such as Microsoft and Google in need of power and space for data centers.&nbsp;
I'll be helping them with customers," he said. "I'll be helping them with investors. I'll be helping them with strategy."

Prometheus plans to build a $10 billion flagship data center in Evanston, Wyoming, which will be among the largest facilities of its kind in the world when completed — the company estimates in 2025 or 2026. The company says the project encompasses a 12,000-acre ranch, including a dedicated 640-acre plot for data center facilities. 
The company secured an initial 120 MW of grid power through Rocky Mountain Power, with plans for an additional 120 MW, as well as a <a href="https://www.prometheushyperscale.com/news/oklo-partners-with-wyoming-hyperscale-to-deliver-100-megawatts-to-its-data-centers">strategic partnership</a> with Oklo Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OKLO#NYSE">OKLO</a>) a small-scale nuclear reactor company.
Prometheus signed a non-binding letter of intent with Oklo in May, outlining its intent to enter into a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement.&nbsp;
"As the widespread adoption of artificial intelligence increases, Oklo remains dedicated to providing clean, reliable and affordable energy solutions to meet the needs of our data center partners. Our partnership with Wyoming Hyperscale underscores our commitment to advancing sustainable energy practices and supporting high-efficiency operations within the data center industry," Jacob DeWitte, CEO of Oklo, said in the announcement in May.&nbsp;
Combining the partnership with Oklo and its plans for incorporating a mix of wind, solar and gas power sources, Prometheus has an on-site generation goal of over 1 GW.&nbsp;
Looney said in the interview that he aims to help Prometheus Hyperscale address what he called downsides of A.I., including potential in emissions.&nbsp;
"We have to work on that," he said.

Formula 1 is expanding with an 11th team joining the global motorsport for the 2026 season, naming General Motors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42135392/general-motors-gears-up-for-potential-f1-entry-in-2026-report">with Andretti Global.</a>
While the new team is still over a year away from starting, it will add an increased American presence to the sport and more competition for recent and four-time consecutive champion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/21/12/24561188/max-verstappen-claims-his-first-f1-world-championship-5-things-you-might-not-know-about-the-for">Max Verstappen.</a>
What Happened: Formula 1, which is a unit of publicly traded Liberty Formula One (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FWONA#NASDAQ">FWONA</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FWONK#NASDAQ">FWONK</a>), announced it reached an agreement with General Motors for a new team, branded as Cadillac, which will enter beginning in 2026, following up a previous rejection of a GM-linked team <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/01/36875148/formula-one-rejects-andretti-general-motors-team-bid-what-this-could-mean-for-us-growth-esp">earlier this year.</a>
General Motors will also become an engine supplier for the league at a later date, the league <a href="https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/statement-on-general-motors-application-to-join-fia-formula-one-world.69uoRF1uwHwXkr4efkpnhc">announced</a>. The GM team will use Ferrari engines until the GM engines are officially approved for the sport.
"With Formula 1's continued growth plans in the U.S., we have always believed that welcoming an impressive U.S. brand like GM/Cadillac to the grid and GM as a future power unit supplier could bring additional value and interest to the sport," Liberty Media CEO Greg Maffei said.
General Motors President Mark Reuss called Formula 1 the "pinnacle of motorsports" and said the announcement of becoming the 11th team is an honor for the automotive company.
"We're committed to competing with passion and integrity to elevate the sport for race fans around the world," Reuss said. "This is a global stage for us to demonstrate GM's engineering expertise and technology leadership at an entirely new level."
The approval of the team comes after the U.S. Justice Department launched an investigation into why Liberty Media, who owns the commercial rights to Formula 1, would not approve the American team bid started by Michael Andretti.
The new team, called Cadillac F1, will be run by Andretti Global majority owners Dan Towriss and Mark Walter after Andretti stepped aside from the group in September. Former Formula 1 champion and racing legend Mario Andretti will have an ambassador role with Cadillac F1 while his son Michael will have no official position.

Why It's Important: The announcement comes after Formula 1's Las Vegas Grand Prix, one of three U.S. races in 2024, was recently held and saw Max Verstappen <a href="https://www.espn.com/f1/story/_/id/42520866/max-verstappen-wins-fourth-f1-world-title-las-vegas-red-bull">win </a>his fourth consecutive Formula 1 World Championship.
While Verstappen finished fifth in the race, he secured enough points to guarantee that no one could match his points total with two races left in the season. This marks the fourth consecutive title by Verstappen with his first title in 2021 a close one with<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/02/36897433/f1-legend-lewis-hamilton-set-to-join-ferrari-likely-to-replace-sainz-in-major-team-shake-up"> racing legend Lewis Hamilton.</a>
Verstappen has been dominant in the sport in recent years winning the title with races still left in season three of the four years. Verstappen won seven of the first 10 races this season before falling out of form but later did enough to win enough points to secure the title.
The new GM team marks the second American-owned team. Gene Haas owns a team but chooses to have international drivers. Michael Andretti's original vision was to have an American-owned team and also feature American drivers, something that fans of the sport will be closely watching.
Team expansion has been infrequent with four teams added in 2010 to push the total to 13 teams and 26 cars. Of the four teams added, one never raced and the other three were out of the league by 2017, as <a href="https://apnews.com/article/f1-grid-expansion-11th-team-andretti-9ffab2a3b1c71d59bd838b1c154b690f?taid=6744c0a5988d9800014d4a8b&amp;utm_campaign=TrueAnthem&amp;utm_medium=AP&amp;utm_source=Twitter">reported </a>by the Associated Press. &nbsp;
The existing 10 team owners have been against expansion due to the dilution of prize money, but have no formal say in the approval process.
Adding another American team could benefit ESPN, which is a unit of Walt Disney Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>). ESPN secured the renewal of the U.S. rights in 2022, paying an estimated $75 million to $90 million annually for the rights for three additional years.
ESPN fought off several other parties interested in the rights, as viewership for the sport has surged in recent years.
Along with recent growth in viewership in the U.S. Formula One teams have also experienced increased interest in ownership stakes from investors, including several notable American football players.
The Alpine racing team received&nbsp;<a href="https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.patrick-mahomes-travis-kelce-anthony-joshua-and-rory-mcilroy-among-host-of.3J4ua82zLZnEDJuM5Cegpe.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">investments&nbsp;</a>in 2023 from Kansas City Chiefs players&nbsp;Patrick Mahomes&nbsp;and&nbsp;Travis Kelce, professional golfer&nbsp;Rory McIlroy&nbsp;and actor&nbsp;Ryan Reynolds.
FWONA Price Action: Liberty Formula One shares were up 4.25% to $80.74 on Monday, hitting an intraday high of $80.88, which is a new 52-week high. The stock is up 41% year-to-date in 2024.
