CBS: U.S. Treasury Secretary and Trump Once Had Heated Debate on Tariff Policy

2025.04.16 12:40:33

On April 16th, CBS News, citing multiple sources, stated that although the White House has been attempting to claim that Trump administration officials have been unified on U.S. tariff policy, internal differences over the policy had emerged weeks prior to Trump signing the so-called "reciprocal tariff" executive order on April 2nd. A senior Trump adviser was reported to have warned in private conversations that some tariff proposals could have a catastrophic impact on global financial markets and send the U.S. economy into a downward spiral. CBS reported that U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bennett and Trump's trade and manufacturing policy adviser Peter Navarro had a confrontation in late March in the office of White House Chief of Staff Susan Wells. According to multiple sources, Navarro advocated for a uniform 25% tariff on $3 trillion worth of imported goods, while Bennett, a former Wall Street investor, warned that this move would trigger market turmoil and outlined various risk scenarios. The report said that there was constantly heated rhetoric being exchanged.

NVIDIA challenger CBRS soared 20%, rebounding above its issue price; buy-the-dip addresses in the below-issue-price zone once saw gains of up to 380%.

According to Hyperinsight monitoring, during U.S. stock trading hours, Nvidia challenger Cerebras (CBRS) rose as high as $242, with its gain expanding to 23%. Today's catalyst is Cerebras' strategic partnership with CrowdStrike, where the latter will use Cerebras' inference infrastructure to power the Falcon AI Detection and Response model, though the two sides did not disclose the contract amount. CBRS has thus re-stabilized above its IPO price of $185. On May 14, its first day of trading, the stock hit a high of $386.3 and closed at $311; after its first financial report, when the full-year core gross margin guidance fell short of expectations, the stock closed below its IPO price for the first time on June 25, and hit an all-time low of $160.81 on June 26. Calculated from today's high, CBRS has rebounded 49.2% from its all-time low, and is now 29.7% above its IPO price; however, it remains 37.9% below its all-time high of $386.34 on its first trading day, meaning it has only recouped its post-IPO decline and not yet returned to its first-day peak. A smart money address starting with 0xc262 first traded CBRS on July 18, opening a long position of 1036.35 shares via 217 trades during a brief second dip, at an average price of $173.6, for a total of approximately $179,000. Its cost is 6.1% lower than the IPO price. When CBRS rose to around $239.64 on Hyperliquid intraday, this 10x isolated long position once recorded a return of 380%. As of press time, the position is valued at about $237,700, with an unrealized profit of roughly $57,700, a return of 320.7%, and a liquidation price of $81.9.

AI cash burn race escalates: OpenAI raises its projected compute spending to $750 billion, AMD competes for AI server orders.

OpenAI has raised its projected spending on computing resources through 2030 from $600 billion to roughly $750 billion. The company has also launched the Camellia data center project in Georgia, U.S., with an initial investment of $20 billion. The facility is expected to secure 3.2 gigawatts of power supply between 2028 and 2032, and its total cost could exceed $30 billion. OpenAI previously signed a total 6-gigawatt data center capacity agreement with Oracle, expanded its multi-year partnership with AWS to $13.8 billion, and plans to allocate an additional $250 billion in cloud computing investments to Microsoft Azure. OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar has previously warned that if revenue growth fails to keep pace with spending, the company may struggle to sustain the costs of expanding its computing power. Meanwhile, AMD has struck a multi-billion-dollar server partnership deal with Anthropic. Starting in 2027, Anthropic will purchase up to 2 gigawatts of AMD Instinct MI450 series chips; once the project meets specific deployment milestones, AMD will invest up to $5 billion in Anthropic. Anthropic currently uses Google’s TPUs, Amazon’s Trainium chips, and NVIDIA GPUs, and this partnership will further diversify its chip supply sources. In addition, Elon Musk’s SpaceXAI is building at least one large data center in Texas to expand its AI computing capacity beyond its existing facility in Memphis, Tennessee.
