Crypto analyst Benjamin Cowen suggests that Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) dominance might continue climbing, even as it hits his long-standing 60% target, following the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/41820253/fed-cuts-interest-rates-to-lowest-since-february-2023-sticks-to-data-driven-path">Fed's recent 25 basis point interest rate cut</a>.
What Happened: In an update on his YouTube <a href="https://youtu.be/NPu6mfY_Pz8?si=35Qnt5mVElqCe9nx">channel</a>, Cowen analyzed the Federal Reserve's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/41820253/fed-cuts-interest-rates-to-lowest-since-february-2023-sticks-to-data-driven-path">decision to reduce rates</a> to lowest level since February 2023 and maintain quantitative tightening by continuing to reduce its holdings in Treasury securities and mortgage-backed securities.
He highlighted that Bitcoin's dominance has typically peaked (60%) only after quantitative easing (QE) starts. This time, he sees two possible scenarios: Bitcoin dominance could begin a topping process, or it might overshoot its peak before settling back.
He also emphasized monitoring Ethereum's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) performance against Bitcoin, as it plays a key role in dominance trends. Cowen recommended dollar-cost averaging in altcoins as the market heads into the post-halving phase.
Quoting the Federal Reserve&#8217;s press release, Cowen highlighted that the committee plans to "continue reducing its Holdings of Treasury Securities and agency debt and agency mortgage-backed Securities." He stressed the potential influence of this decision on the crypto market.

Why It Matters: Despite his cautious outlook, Cowen anticipates Bitcoin will adhere to its cyclical behaviour. He warned, however, that a broader market correction could interrupt these patterns, impacting both Bitcoin and altcoins.
The Federal Reserve&#8217;s decision to lower interest rates has slowed the pace of rate cuts compared to September, when policymakers opted for a more substantial 0.5% cut to initiate the easing cycle.
A senior research strategist noted that that the Fed's gradual cuts toward a "neutral" 3% rate could be partly due to Trump's policies, including tariffs, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41824236/feds-interest-rate-cut-pace-expected-to-slow-economists-weigh-trumps-white-house-re">which may have a reflationary effect</a>.

As always, Buffett delivered the line with his signature mix of wit and insight, hinting at the gravity of what could have been a complete financial meltdown. And let's be real – considering Buffett's affection for McDonald's, it wouldn't have been the worst Thanksgiving meal he could imagine, but the underlying message wasn't lost on anyone: the stakes in 2008 were no joke.

The economy was in free fall after Lehman Brothers collapsed, a tipping point in the financial crisis that exposed how fragile the global banking system really was.&nbsp;
It was a time when "corporate America's dominos" were lined up, ready to topple. As Buffett put it, "but there were three hundred million American dominos lined up right behind them – money market funds, 401(k)s, jobs, income, all of those things were going to topple like no one had ever seen." And he was right. Money markets were frozen, job losses were mounting daily and confidence in the economy evaporated as quickly as stock prices.

So what happened next?

The Federal Reserve, Treasury and Congress joined forces to launch an unprecedented rescue package to pump liquidity into the system. Programs were created to stabilize the banks and keep credit flowing. It wasn't pretty and it wasn't popular, but as Buffett described, "Somebody had to stop the dominos from toppling and government was the only one that could do it."
In a letter he wrote to "Uncle Sam" that appeared in The New York Times, Buffett put it like this: "Often you are wasteful and sometimes you are bullying. On occasion, you are downright maddening. But in this extraordinary emergency, you came through – and the world would look far different now if you had not." He signed it simply, "Your grateful nephew, Warren." For Buffett, the bailout wasn't about saving the banks themselves – it was about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41658421/no-one-in-the-u-s-would-have-to-pay-a-dime-in-taxes-warren-buffett-on-berkshire-hathaways-federal-ta">saving the economy</a>.

Bush and Barack Obama, rare in a political climate that was anything but bipartisan. He acknowledged that both administrations had acted courageously to stave off a potential repeat of the Great Depression. The high-stakes moment left Buffett grateful and relieved, despite his usual reluctance to cheer on big government moves.
While the McDonald's quip was classic Buffett – a mix of humor and humility – its message was serious. The Lehman Brothers collapse didn't just shake up Wall Street; it created a ripple effect that threatened the financial futures of everyday Americans. "If the government hadn't acted," he said, "we'd be living in a world that looked far different now."

He even joked that he's more indulgent with his breakfast choice when he's "feeling especially wealthy." But the idea of Thanksgiving dinner under the Golden Arches? Even for Buffett, that's a grim vision of what might have been if Uncle Sam hadn't stepped up in 2008.

In a viral interaction, comedian Alex Strenger confronted former House Speaker <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/nancy-pelosi">Nancy Pelosi</a> during a book signing at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin. Strenger, who posed as a Democrat, showered Pelosi with praise before asking the question everyone has on their mind: what stocks should they buy?

Strenger went up to Pelosi as she autographed copies of her recently released book, &#8220;The Art of Power.&#8221; He called her &#8220;the greatest options trader of all time&#8221; and asked her head-on what stocks he should buy.

"Nancy, you're the greatest options trader of all time," Strenger said, maintaining a satirical tone. "I just want to know what stocks I should buy." The crowd – and security – didn't seem to find the humor in his request. Security guards eventually stepped in and escorted Strenger away, but not before he added a jab about Pelosi's wealth compared to her congressional salary.
Pelosi, whose husband Paul has made headlines for his well-timed stock trades, mostly kept her composure. She briefly responded to Strenger&#8217;s remarks before security moved him aside.

One commenter remarked, &#8220;Too much butter, not enough toast,&#8221; criticizing Strenger&#8217;s lengthy buildup before dropping the real question. Others focused on Pelosi, with many still skeptical about the timing of her trades and questioning whether elected officials should be allowed to invest in individual stocks.

Paul Pelosi's purchase of Nvidia call options last November, now worth $6.6 million, has only added fuel to the fire. Calls for a ban on congressional stock trading have not been quelled by Nancy Pelosi&#8217;s insistence that her husband&#8217;s investments are unrelated to her position in Congress despite these suspicions.
The Pelosis&#8217; investments have become so notorious that an ETF tracking the trading activities of Democrats in Congress, aptly named &#8220;NANC,&#8221; has been launched. There&#8217;s even proposed legislation nicknamed the PELOSI Act aimed at restricting stock trading by lawmakers and their spouses. But for now, as Strenger learned firsthand, Pelosi isn&#8217;t about to start giving out trading tips at public events – even if she's touted as the &#8220;greatest options trader of all time.&#8221;

The re-election of Donald Trump has reignited one of the most contentious debates among investors: Can the president-elect remove Federal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/jerome-powell">Reserve Chair Jerome Powell? </a>
Trump has been critical of Powell's handling of interest rates since appointing him in 2018, and many have speculated that a Trump-led White House may clash with the central bank yet again.
But Powell didn't mince words during his press conference following the Fed&#8217;s November interest-rate cut, stating firmly that a U.S. president &#8220;is not permitted under the law&#8221; to remove the central bank governor. Powell also added that he would refuse to step down <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/41823887/powell-dismisses-talk-of-resignation-after-trump-victory-says-policy-is-still-res">if Trump requested him to do so</a>.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Legal safeguards protect the Fed chair (mostly)</h3>
While the Federal Reserve Act technically shields the Fed&#8217;s chair from presidential removal, there are also some caveats.
Under Section 10 of the Act, a Fed chair can only be dismissed by the president in cases of legal or ethical violations—not simply due to policy disagreements. This structure is designed to keep monetary policy free from short-term political interference.
However, Trump could choose not to reappoint Powell once his term expires in 2026, potentially replacing him with someone more aligned with his low-rate preferences. 
As Bill Adams, chief economist at Comerica Bank, commented, "After Fed Chair Powell's term expires in 2026, President-elect Trump will have an opening to appoint a new Fed chair who is more sympathetic to his calls for lower interest rates."
Adams indicates that Trump will likely push the Fed to cut interest rates more aggressively, as he did in his first term. 
However, he highlights that this pressure is unlikely to impact the Fed's rate path over the next year, given the central bank&#8217;s structure, which is designed to shield rate decisions from White House influence.
Powell used his press conference not only to clarify the Fed's rate strategy, but to also reassert its independence.
BNP Paribas economist Anis Bensaidani said, &#8220;For Chair Powell, the post-meeting press conference was an opportunity for a twofold statement of the Fed's independence.&#8221;
Bensaidani noted that Powell's refusal to resign at Trump's potential request underscored the Fed's autonomy from the executive branch, a message he amplified by referencing legal safeguards against unwarranted dismissal.
Yet, Powell also sidestepped questions on how the Fed would respond to the new administration's potential policy shifts, stating that the Fed would "only model any policy changes after they have been passed" and decide on a response later. 
This careful approach seems aimed at avoiding the perception that the Fed is preemptively aligning with any political agenda.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Powell&#8217;s Dovish Tone Raises Eyebrows</h3>
However, Powell&#8217;s recent remarks struck a dovish tone, leaving economists divided on the Fed's rate trajectory.
&#8220;Although he stressed data dependence as expected, he gave several indications that a December cut remains his base case,&#8221; Bank of America economist Aditya Bhave said in a note Friday.
This dovish outlook has some analysts predicting further rate reductions over the coming months, even as the economy and labor market show resilience.
Goldman Sachs economist David Mericle foresees "consecutive cuts in December, January, and March," with additional reductions in June and September to reach a terminal federal funds rate of 3.25% to 3.5%. 
According to Mericle, "Powell said twice that the labor market is continuing to cool, and the FOMC does not want further cooling."
Some economists question whether more easing is justified.
Veteran Wall Street analyst Ed Yardeni, stated that 75-basis-point of rate cuts since Sept.18 &#8220;is too much, too soon because both the economy and the labor market remain strong.&#8221;
Yardeni added that Powell himself acknowledged the economy&#8217;s strength, commenting that "both remain solid." Yet, Powell insists the Fed's policy remains restrictive, as rates are still above the so-called "neutral" level. 
Yardeni also questioned the urgency of the cut: "One might question why an additional rate cut was needed if the economy is in fact in better shape today than it was at the Fed&#8217;s last meeting."
Powell also attributed recent jumps in Treasury yields—up 75 basis points since the last rate cut—to robust economic growth and lower recession risks. 
&#8220;He minimized the impact of higher inflation expectations. But the market&#8217;s inflation expectations, based on the difference between nominal Treasury yields and TIPS yields, have risen,&#8221; Yardeni stated. 
The 5-year breakeven inflation rate—a closely watched market indicator reflecting investor expectations for average annual inflation over the next five years—has climbed from 1.98% on Sept. 8 to 2.4% on Nov. 8.
This surge suggests that investors increasingly doubt the Federal Reserve's ability to keep inflation at its 2% target over the coming five years.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Semiconductor Wafer Shipments To China&nbsp;</h2>
The Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) imposed a <a href="https://www.bis.gov/press-release/bis-imposes-500000-mitigated-penalty-against-globalfoundries-74-shipments-entity">civil penalty </a>of $500,000 against GlobalFoundries Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GFS#NASDAQ">GFS</a>) last Friday. The penalty is related to shipments of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/11/41811866/taiwan-semi-and-globalfoundries-finalize-major-us-funding-deals-eye-growth-in-chip-manufacturing">semiconductor wafers</a> valued at approximately $17.1 million to SJ Semiconductor, a China-based company on the BIS Entity List. 
The BIS said GlobalFoundries voluntarily disclosed the shipments and cooperated with the investigation which led to the significantly reduced fine.&nbsp;
"We want U.S. companies to be hypervigilant when sending semiconductor materials to Chinese parties," said Assistant Secretary for Export Enforcement Matthew S. Axelrod. "And when, as here, that vigilance falls short and semiconductor materials have gone where they shouldn't, we want companies to make voluntary disclosures, remediate, and cooperate with us."

The Federal Trade Commission announced on Tuesday that it is<a href="https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2024/11/ftc-takes-action-against-online-cash-advance-app-dave-deceiving-consumers-charging-undisclosed-fees"> taking action</a> against Dave, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAVE#NASDAQ">DAVE</a>) for allegedly using misleading marketing to deceive consumers, charging undisclosed fees and charging so-called "tips" without users' consent. 
"Dave lured in consumers living paycheck-to-paycheck with false claims of big-dollar advances, then reached into their pockets to give itself a so-called ‘tip,'" said Samuel Levine, Director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection.&nbsp;
"Whether the products are called cash advances, payday loans, or something else, the FTC will take action to protect consumers from unauthorized charges and deceptive claims," Levine added.&nbsp;
The FTC said Dave reported receiving more than $149 million <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41820744/9-stocks-to-watch-financial-sector-outshines-tech-in-2024-as-trump-trade-sparks-m-a">in revenue </a>from these so-called "tips" alone from 2022 through the first half of 2024.

According to a Bloomberg<a href="https://news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/hacker-said-to-be-behind-breach-of-snowflake-customers-arrested"> report</a>, the alleged hacker behind a string of cyberattacks involving as many as 165 customers of Snowflake Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>) has been arrested in Canada, according to people familiar with the matter. 
The cyberattacks hit many of Snowflake's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39208037/snowflake-hit-with-data-breach-whats-going-on">major clients</a>, including Santander Bank and Ticketmaster. The hacker claimed to have stolen hundreds of millions of customer records, and Australian authorities confirmed successful compromises of several companies using Snowflake.&nbsp;
Alexander "Connor" Moucka was taken into custody on a provisional arrest warrant on Oct. 30 following a request from the US, according to Canada's Department of Justice. The exact charges against Moucka remain unknown.&nbsp;
"As extradition requests are considered confidential state-to-state communications, we cannot comment further on this case," said Ian McLeod, spokesperson for Canada's Department of Justice, as reported by Bloomberg.&nbsp;
