All eyes on CSX as Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern confirm talks
-- Now that Union Pacific (NYSE:UNP) and Norfolk Southern (NYSE:NSC) have confirmed they are in advanced merger talks, all eyes are on CSX (NASDAQ:CSX) and whether it might also consider a merger. Speculation has pointed to Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRKa), which owns BNSF, as a potential suitor. Additionally, one of the major Canadian railroads—either Canadian Pacific Kansas City Limited (NYSE:CP) or Canadian National Railway (NYSE:CNI) —could get involved. However, the Trump administration may oppose a cross-border deal involving a non-U.S. buyer. Shares of CSX rose 0.5% in mid-day trading on Thursday, but are well off session highs. CSX CEO Joseph Hinrichs addressed the rumors during the company's second-quarter earnings call on Wednesday evening. While stopping short of commenting on the speculation, he left the door open to opportunities that could create shareholder value. 'And finally, we know there's been a lot of rumor and speculation about consolidation in the railroad industry in recent weeks,' Hinrichs said in his opening remarks. 'While we cannot comment, we want to be clear that at CSX we are absolutely focused on delivering shareholder value and are always open to anything that can help us achieve this objective.' Later in the call, JP Morgan analyst Brian Ossenbeck asked Hinrichs for his perspective on potential rail consolidation, noting his background as a former shipper. Hinrichs, a 30-year auto industry veteran, emphasized that improving customer service and making it easier to do business with railroads is essential for industry growth. While again declining to comment on mergers, he stressed the importance of reliability, accessibility, and working across the rail ecosystem to better serve customers and compete with trucking. 'So again, I'm not going to talk about how we do that or all those, and as we said in our remarks, we're open to all those possibilities and all those conversations and how we could, we can do that, how we can best create value for our shareholders, properly grow the business and serve those customers better and look forward to those opportunities,' he added.

Trump threatens to escalate trade war with new round of tariffs up to 50%
President Donald Trump said he will impose tariffs ranging from a minimum rate of 15% to a clip as high as 50% as his Aug. 1 deadline looms. 'We'll have a straight, simple tariff of anywhere between 15% and 50%,' Trump said Wednesday at an artificial intelligence summit in Washington, DC. Trump's latest tariff salvo was aimed at countries that have not yet secured bilateral trade frameworks with Washington. Advertisement 4 President Donald Trump said Wednesday that his administration is preparing to impose a new round of tariffs ranging from a minimum rate of 15% to a clip as high as 50%. REUTERS While some nations are actively negotiating to lower their rates, Trump emphasized that he intends to apply a 'very, very simple tariff for some of the countries,' citing the logistical challenge of negotiating individual deals with over 150 nations. 'You can't negotiate deals with everyone,' Trump said. Advertisement He added that negotiations with the European Union were 'serious' and tied potential reductions in tariffs to increased access for American businesses. 'If they agree to open up the (EU) to American businesses, then we will let them pay a lower tariff,' Trump said. The markets were mixed Thursday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average falling 164 points, or 0.36%, to 44,846.29 as of noon. The S&P 500 rose 13.68 points, or 0.22%, to 6,372.59, while the Nasdaq gained 43.05 points, or 0.21%, to reach 21,063.06. Advertisement 4 Trump laid out his latest tariff plans, describing them as 'reciprocal' duties ahead of an Aug. 1 deadline. Getty Images Trump's comments mark a shift from statements when he initially proposed a universal tariff of 10% on nearly every country during his 'Liberation Day' rollout in April. While his team has previously floated rates between 10% and 15%, Wednesday's remarks indicate that the baseline is now expected to begin at 15%, with significantly higher rates for countries with strained relations with the US. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Sunday that smaller nations — including 'the Latin American countries, the Caribbean countries, many countries in Africa' — would face a baseline tariff of 10%. Advertisement Despite initial expressions of interest in formal trade agreements, Trump has recently suggested that the letters themselves constitute a form of dealmaking. Still, countries may reduce their rates through side agreements. 4 Trump's tariff initiative, which he began rolling out in April, is aimed at countries that have not yet secured bilateral trade frameworks with Washington. REUTERS On Tuesday, the White House announced that Trump had agreed to reduce a proposed 25% tariff on Japan to 15%. The reduction was made in exchange for Japan lifting certain restrictions on US products and pledging $550 billion in US investments. A similar deal is reportedly under discussion with South Korea, according to people familiar with the matter. That country is also working toward securing a 15% tariff rate, including on automobiles. In Southeast Asia, the Philippines is also seeking to lower its rate. According to the country's ambassador to the US, Jose Manuel Romualdez, the Philippines hopes to bring down its current tariff rate from 19% to 15%. Vietnam, another country weighing its options, is assessing the possible consequences of not securing a trade agreement. An internal Vietnamese government estimate projects that its exports to the US could fall by as much as one-third if higher tariffs take effect. 4 An aerial view of a container shipped docked at the Port of Oakland on May 20. Getty Images Advertisement India and members of the European Union are also pushing for trade agreements before the new tariffs are enacted. As the deadline nears, multiple governments are working to either strike a deal or gauge the economic impact of the proposed levies. Trump's increasingly firm stance on tariffs suggests a broader strategy to use trade policy as a lever for international concessions. With the Aug. 1 implementation date fast approaching, the administration is signaling that countries will either accept the new terms or negotiate quickly to avoid higher costs.

Wall Street Insiders Are Quietly Hedging -- Should You Be Worried?
The market's on fire. The S&P 500 (SPY) has surged 28% since April 8, volatility is near its lowest level of the year, and earnings season is mostly upbeat. Feels calm. Too calm. Behind the scenes, trading desks at Goldman Sachs and Citadel Securities are urging clients to pick up protectionwhile it's still dirt cheap. According to Goldman, the cost of hedging against a 10% drop is now the lowest it's been since January. If you are nervous, the market is making it very easy to rent hedges, their team told clients Monday. At a time when everyone's buying stocks, Wall Street's most tactical desks are buying insurance. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 6 Warning Signs with XKRX:373220. Why now? Because the next two weeks could get messy. The Fed announces its interest rate decision on July 30. Two days later, President Donald Trump's tariff deadline hits. And on the same day: the July jobs report drops. These aren't just headline eventsthey could shake the entire risk-on mood. BofA's John Tully is telling clients it's time to buy volatility, recommending S&P 500 puts expiring Aug. 22. JPMorgan's Ilan Benhamou suggests shorter-dated options that expire Aug. 1, covering both the jobs data and Trump's potential tariff news. Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) earnings are also on deck, which could swing sentiment even further. Even if nothing breaks this week, some pros say this rally might be running out of road. Citadel's Scott Rubner sees institutional exposure creeping toward overextended levels. That's usually when the smart money starts pulling back. Rubner thinks now is the time to rotate into September hedgesbefore macro risks (and historical patterns) catch up. For context: September has been the worst-performing month for U.S. stocks since 1928. So while the headlines are still glowing, desks that manage billions are getting defensive. The playbook? Use the calm to buy protectionbefore the storm shows up. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
