  • Live Updates Live Coverage Has Ended Gaines and Losers Today 12:59 pm Winners: APA Corp (APA) up 5.27% Abbott Labs (ABT) up 4.37% Devon Energy (DVN) up 4.17% Marathon Petroleum (MPC) up 3.82% Losers: NVIDIA (NVDA) down 7.53% JB Hunt (JBHT) down 7.49% MD (AMD) down 7.30% Interpublic Group (IPG) down 5.71% China to Fight Until the End 11:42 am According to The White House press release, China now faces up to 245% tariffs on on imports, up from 145% and despite the number increase, China will “ignore” the numbers gain and plans to fight until the end of the tariff war. As of 11:45 am: Nasdaq Composite: -1.48% S&P 500: -0.74% Dow Jones Industrial Average: -.02% Shares of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA:SPY) are down 1% in morning trading Wednesday after Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) announced it would take a massive $5.5 billion writedown in the first quarter. The artificial intelligence chipmaker said in a late-afternoon SEC filing yesterday the U.S. government was imposing new trade restrictions on its H20 AI chips that would require it to get a license to export them because they could be used in or diverted to a Chinese supercomputer. Due to the inventory of H20 chips it had on hand, as well as previously agreed to purchase commitments and related reserves, it would be taking the massive writedown. Erecting new barriers Nvidia had designed the H20 specifically to get around export restrictions of its previous chip, the H800. That was the one the Chinese AI firm DeepSeek used to build its R1 large language model that caused a tumult in the market when it launched earlier this year. The chips are cheaper and less powerful than Nvidia’s latest generation Blackwell chips that sell for tens of thousands of dollars. Pricing isn’t so straightforward though as the chips won’t be sold as a standalone product. It hits especially hard because earlier this month, Nvidia stock jumped on reports that Chinese tech companies, including Alibaba (NYSE:BABA), Tencent Holdings (OTC:TCEHY), and TikTok owner ByteDance, had ordered $16 billion worth of the H20 accelerators over the first three months of the year. Nvidia said the write off would be necessary because of the inventory of H20 chips it had on hand, purchase commitments, and related reserves. Nvidia will be reporting its fiscal 2026 first-quarter earnings results on May 26. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 200 points, or 0.5%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 was off almost 2%. Collateral damage The indices are also under pressure because Bloomberg reported little progress has been made between the European Union and the U.S. to resolve their trade differences. While the EU has proposed eliminating all tariffs in both directions, U.S. officials have so far rejected that because of other non-tariff restrictions U.S. goods face, including digital and AI regulations, along with various food standards. Other chipmakers on the S&P 500 are falling as well, including Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) as it says it will take an $800 million hit due to tariffs. Its shares are down 6% because the new trade restrictions will affect its MI308 chips. Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) is down 2.2% and Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) is off 1.7%. The impact of tech stocks on SPY is offsetting the positive news that retail sales rose 1.4% in March, in line with expectations and well ahead of the 0.2% gain seen in February. It was the best reading in more than two years. However, it is likely sales were pulled forward into the month due to consumers buying more ahead of tariffs going into effect. That suggests retail sales in future months won’t be as strong and feeds the fear the U.S. economy is growing slower than analysts had previously predicted.

  • The entire market has turned sour on Chinese stocks despite what promise of upside they may have brought over the past two quarters. Asia's powerhouse beat the S&P 500 index in terms of price action until talks of trade tariffs being rolled out by President Trump started to create fear and uncertainty for the future of China's economy as its uneven stance with trade with the United States was placed in the spotlight.
  • Donald Trump has exempted reciprocal tariffs on certain electronic Chinese imports, giving markets a slight reprieve as the U.S.-China trade war heats up. While tariffs are likely to burn both countries, China could be in a stronger position to replace key U.S. imports. SA Quant has identified five Chinese stocks with strong financials and high Quant Factor Grades that are well-positioned for recovery once market conditions stabilize.

  • Short and sweet. That’s how I’d describe this next letter from the Reddit mailbag. In 53 words, four of which are conjunctions, our caller today (let’s call him “Al”) polls the Reddit-verse advice on “the best” cash back credit card, to replace his current cash back card, which Al consider suboptimal. “I’m looking for a credit card that has better cash back than my current ones. I don’t really care for the travel points or anything like that. Just strictly cash back. I’ve heard chase sapphire is good and discover it, but I’m wondering what you all have found to be the best. Thanks!” In just 53 words, you wouldn’t expect Al could go far wrong with his request, and yet in fact he does. The problem with Al’s question you see, lies in his assumption that there must be one best cash back credit card out there. But there isn’t. Rather, the best way to make use of credit cards to get cash back, is to use them in combination. Key Points There is no such thing as one “best” cash back credit card. To maximize your cash back, it’s best to use one general cash back card, plus a combination of multiple specialized cards paying extra cash back on specific kinds of purchases. A combination like this can increase your monthly cash back by 20% or more. The right cash back credit card can earn you hundreds, or thousands of dollars a year for free. Our top pick pays up to 5% cash back, a $200 bonus on top, and $0 annual fee. Click here to apply now (Sponsor) Think of it like this: Some cash back cards pay you a decent rate, say 2% on everything you buy. Other cash back cards pay you a superior rate, say 5% on purchases of gas (but only in certain time periods, like from January to March), or they may pay you back 3% on gas all the time, but 1% on everything else. The devil, as the saying goes, is in the details. And it’s these details that make it hard to say if a card paying 5% on one thing, 3% on another, and 1% on everything else, is better than a card that just pays you a straight 2% cash back on whatever you charge on the card. How to work the system on cash back credit cards So you do you untangle this intricate web of rewards? I can answer that in two steps. Step 1: You start off by getting one single, all-around cash back card that pays a decent rate on everything, all the time, and with no limits or fees. The Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC) Active Cash card, Citi (NYSE: C) Double Cash, and SoFi‘s (Nasdaq: SOFI) Unlimited 2% credit card all pay 2% on all purchases in all categories, with no limit on how much cash you can get back, and none of these cards charges an annual fee for the privilege. You only need one of these cards; there’s little point in having more than one, other than to increase the total amount you can charge across cards. If asked to choose, of the three, I prefer SoFi’s card over the others, because it does not charge foreign exchange fees when traveling outside the country (and unlike Al, I actually do “care for the travel”)! Step 2: Now that you’re guaranteed a minimum of 2% cash back on all your spending, you try to bump up your average cash back from there, trying to inch past 2%. Add a Capital One (NYSE: COF) Savor Card for example, to get 3% cash back on groceries and restaurants. Add a Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) Customized Cash card and choose to get 3% back on gas for your car. Add a Citi Custom Cash card (similar concept, but from a different bank) and choose to get 5% back your internet provider’s bill (only up to $500 per month, but most internet bills are less than that). Then substitute the Capital One card for your SoFi card when buying food or visiting restaurants, substitute the BofA card when paying your internet bill, and substitute the Citi card when filling up. Say in a given month you spend $700 on food, $200 on gas, $100 on internet, and $2000 on everything else. How does this work out? Well, your total cash back across the four cards will be: $700 x 0.03 = $21 $200 x 0.03 = $6 $100 x 0.05 = $5 And $2000 x 0.02 = $40 Add it up, and you got $72 cash back on $3000 in spending. $3000 divided into $72 = 2.4%. That’s the total cash back you’re getting, and it’s 20% better than a plain vanilla 2% cash back card. The post My Cash Back Cards Aren’t Great and I Don’t Care About Travel Rewards.

  • In the cashback and travel credit card world, everyone is always looking for the best offers when wanting a new card. With all the different perks and benefits available today, it makes perfect sense to shop around and find who offers the best deal. Key Points This Redditor is looking for a great combination of general and travel card. Sadly, they don’t want to live in a cash-back world. There are a few really strong recommendations that are worth considering. The right travel credit card can take you to places you’ve never dreamed of. Click here now to see our top picks. (Sponsor) This is precisely the situation with one Redditor posting on r/CreditCards, as they are looking to find the card that best matches their goals and travel needs. This individual is looking at travel as their primary goal, so all efforts here will be about earning miles and points. It’s a little confusing that the Redditor wants a card that excels for both general and travel purposes, as most cards do one or the other really well, but there is no harm in trying to find something that works. The Criteria With an income of over $300,000 and a FICO score of 800, this Redditor hopes to get a solid travel card that allows them to use points for domestic and international travel. Currently, they are okay with category-specific cards but do not favor rotating-category cards, which knocks some of the more popular cashback cards off the board. While they only travel once per year, either domestically or internationally, they have an international trip already planned, so it would be ideal to have a card they could use to rack up some points this year. As far as expenses, they have their once-yearly travel plans, a $5,000 monthly mortgage, a $500 HOA, and $350 in monthly utilities, none of which are paid by card. There is also a Costco membership, but this really isn’t a factor, and they already have a Costco Citi Visa, BoA unlimited cash rewards, BoA customized cash rewards, and a Discover card. So, after considering the AMEX Platinum and Bilt cards, they are still waiting to find something better. However, it’s worth noting that in the comments, they clarify that they are okay with an annual fee and the option to downgrade if they find themselves traveling less. The Options AMEX Platinum Among the top recommended options is a card that the original poster is already considering. The American Express Platinum card has a $695 annual fee, which is a definite negative, but it also has many bonuses to help offset this charge. However, before getting into the benefits, it’s worth knowing that the attractive 80,000 membership reward point bonus requires $8,000 in eligible purchases over 6 months. While we don’t know precisely what the Redditor spends monthly, this should be manageable based on their overall income and general spending habits. With this card, you get a $155 Walmart+ credit, a $200 hotel credit every year, a $240 digital entertainment credit, and a $200 airline fee credit, which means the $695 annual fee is offset by $900 in value when you also get a $15 Uber Cash credit every month. Capital One Venture X Another solid option for this Redditor might be the Capital One Venture X card. While it has a $395 annual fee, it offers a $300 annual travel credit, a $120 Global Entry or TSA PreCheck credit, 10,000 bonus miles (equivalent to $100) every year, and 75,000 bonus miles after you spend $4,000 in the first three months. Earning 10X miles on hotel and car rentals, 5X miles on flights, and 2X miles on all other purchases, this Redditor should have more than enough time to spend and save for their once-yearly big trip. Plus, you get access to more than 1,300 lounges, which could be beneficial if and when the original poster goes international and wants a nicer place to sit and wait for their flight. Chase Sapphire Preferred Among Chase’s best cards, this one offers an outstanding balance between general and travel spending, making it a top option. The Chase Sapphire Preferred has a $95 annual fee but offers 100,000 bonus points with just $5,000 in spending after 90 days, a pretty strong bonus overall. In addition, you get $200 in partner value from Chase partners, $50 statement credits every year when booking through Chase Travel, and 25% more value when rewards are redeemed for travel. To earn rewards, you can earn 2X on all travel purchases, 3X on dining out or taking in, 3X points on grocery purchases, and 3X on streaming services, so rewards can quickly add up.
