Jim Cramer, the host of CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Mad Money,&#8221; recently expressed his enthusiasm for space exploration and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) on his show. He also shared his thoughts on Ford Motor Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), CEVA Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEVA#NASDAQ">CEVA</a>), Schlumberger NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLB#NYSE">SLB</a>), and Vistra Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VST#NYSE">VST</a>).
What Happened: During the &#8220;Lightning Round&#8221; segment of his show, Cramer was asked about Intuitive Machines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITM#NYSE">ITM</a>), a company involved in space exploration. He <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/04/cramers-lightning-round-i-cant-recommend-ford.html">responded</a> by praising the space industry and Tesla, stating, &#8220;I love space stuff, and that&#8217;s why I keep recommending Tesla&#8230;If there&#8217;s going to be something in space, it is going to be done by Elon Musk.&#8221;
However, Cramer expressed his disappointment with Ford&#8217;s performance, saying, &#8220;I want so badly for the company to do well, but I can&#8217;t recommend the stock.&#8221; He also advised against investing in Schlumberger, citing the lack of growth in the oil industry.
Cramer noted on X, that NXP Semiconductors (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NXPI#NASDAQ">NXPI</a>) and ON Semiconductor (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ON#NASDAQ">ON</a>) are "held back by autos,"

Jim Cramer Keeps Recommending Tesla Because He Loves 'Space Stuff,' But He's Not Keen On Ford: 'I Can't Recommend The Stock'

&nbsp;
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Monday it has closed a probe into 411,000 Ford SUVs and pickup trucks over a potentially defective engine that could lose power without warning.
<a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/us-opens-new-safety-probes-into-stellantis-gm-ford-vehicles-2022-07-26/">In July 2022</a>, the U.S. auto safety regulator opened its investigation into Ford Bronco vehicles equipped with 2.7L EcoBoost engines over concerns of a faulty valvetrain.
The probe was expanded later to include other models including the Ford Edge, F-150, Explorer and Lincoln Aviator and Nautilus vehicles with 2.7L or 3.0L EcoBoost engines from the 2021 and 2022 model years.
Under normal driving conditions and without warning, vehicles may lose power and be unable to restart due to a faulty valve. NHTSA said it had 1,066 unique vehicle reports of the issue.
Earlier this year, Ford recalled 90,000 vehicles after the automaker determined not all valves produced were defective, and that most failures occurred in vehicles that had been in use for a short time.
Ford's recall fix includes a dealer inspection and a test to determine if the vehicle has not met a minimum usage level to identify if it was equipped with defective valves.
NHTSA said the rate of reported failures related to the faulty valve issue has steadily decreased since November 2021.
Ford said data indicates the vast majority of failures have occurred before 20,000 miles with over half of all reported failures occurring before 5,000 miles.
Ford said it would provide an extended warranty coverage on the vehicles covered by the investigation for 10 years or 150,000 miles, whichever occurs earlier.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Remembering The Ultimate Example Of DEI</h3>
In a post two months ago (&#8220;<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2024-08-25/ultimate-dei-scenario">The Ultimate Example Of DEI</a>&#8220;) I pointed out what appeared to be an extraordinary example of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at&nbsp;Peloton Interactive, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PTON#NASDAQ">PTON</a>).&nbsp;
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><h3 class="wp-block-heading">How Much More Qualified Can You Get?&nbsp;</h3>
Peloton&nbsp;(PTON) is best known for its stationary exercise bikes, but it also has rowing machines. And&#8211;you would think&#8211;the best-qualified person to teach its rowing classes, Nick Mead, who just won an Olympic gold medal in rowing. But Peloton has Mead working logistics for them instead.&nbsp;

Bear in mind, being a Peloton instructor can be a pretty good gig. As ChatGPT notes,&nbsp;
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">On average, Peloton instructors are reported to make between&nbsp;$100,000 and $500,000 per year. Some of the most popular instructors, who have built large followings and have become key figures in the Peloton community, may earn even more, potentially reaching up to&nbsp;$1 million per year&nbsp;when including bonuses, endorsements, and other income streams.
</blockquote>
For example, some Pelton instructors have published books, that wouldn&#8217;t have sold without their Peloton followings. Others have endorsed sports drinks, appeared in commercials for them, etc.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Who Peloton Has Teaching Its Rowing Classes</h3>
So who did Peloton hire as a rowing instructor over Nick Mead, the Olympic gold medalist? One rowing instructor they hired was Ash Pryor, who helpfully informs readers on her Peloton bio that she is a black woman.&nbsp;

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Moving Away From DEI?</h3>
Peloton&#8217;s employment of Ash Pryor as a rowing instructor was consistent with some of their recent advertising, which eschewed straight white males. That seems to be changing. This month, they announced a new ad campaign with retired NFL defensive end JJ Watt and his brother, current NFL defensive end TJ Watt.&nbsp;

Could Peloton Be Moving Away From DEI?

The U.S. stock market experienced a setback at the end of October, breaking a five-month winning streak as election uncertainties and mixed tech <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">earnings dampened risk sentiment</a>.
A key measure of market turbulence, the CBOE Volatility Index, or VIX, surged by 34% last month, marking the third-largest increase for an October <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41665265/vix-index-notches-third-strongest-october-spike-in-an-election-year-s-p-500-snaps-5">in an election year.</a>
Tech giants' earnings were underwhelming, except for Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) and Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>). None of the other &#8220;Magnificent Seven&#8221; companies posted positive weekly performance. As a result, the Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAGS#NASDAQ">MAGS</a>) fell nearly 2% for the week. This marks the worst weekly performance in two months.
Among mega-cap companies, the top performers for the week were Charter Communications Inc.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BKNG#NASDAQ">BKNG</a>), both rising approximately 9%. Booking also marked the strongest weekly gains since August 2022. 
The main laggards were Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) and Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>), down 9% and 8%, respectively, for the week. 
On the macroeconomic front, the U.S. economy saw a surprising slowdown in job growth in October, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/24/11/41684710/us-economy-adds-only-12-000-jobs-in-october-sharply-misses-estimates-as-hurricane-strikes-pummel-hir">nonfarm payrolls increasing by just 12,000</a>—nearly a four-year low and well below the expected 113,000.
Factors such as hurricanes and strikes likely contributed to the hiring slowdown, while unemployment held relatively steady, indicating no significant rise in layoffs.
The labor market report has strengthened expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts. Markets are fully pricing in a 25-basis-point cut at Thursday's meeting and assigning an 85% probability to a similar cut at the Fed&#8217;s final meeting of the year in of December.

Market Volatility Soars Ahead Of Elections, Tech Earnings Mixed, Strikes And Hurricanes Knock Employment Down: This Week In The Markets

Editor&#8217;s Note: This story has been updated with a statement from Ford.
Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) will pause the production of its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/ford-f-150-lightning">F-150 Lightning pickup</a> truck for six weeks through the end of the year after Tesla Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Cybertruck took over as the most popular EV truck in the U.S. in the three months through the end of September.
What Happened: The Dearborn-based company will halt F-150 Lightning <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41661764/ford-to-halt-f-150-ev-production-for-7-weeks-next-month" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">production from Nov. 18 to Jan. 6</a> at the Rouge Electric Vehicle Plant, a company spokesperson told Benzinga in an emailed statement.
"We continue to adjust production for an optimal mix of sales growth and profitability,&#8221; the company added.
The Lightning pickup truck is up against Tesla&#8217;s Cybertruck in the U.S. While Tesla sold 16,692 Cybertrucks in the third quarter, Ford sold only 7,162 units of the Lightning, according to data from<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41325252/tesla-cybertruck-leads-the-pack-as-most-popular-ev-truck-in-us-in-q3-outselling-rivals-from-ford-gm"> Kelley Blue Book</a>.
In fact, the Cybertruck even outsold Ford&#8217;s best-selling EV, the Mustang Mach-E, in the quarter.
Why It Matters: Ford sold 23,509 EVs altogether in the last quarter in the U.S., less than Tesla and also General Motors who spurred EV sales with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41136007/gms-ev-sales-rise-in-q3-on-the-back-of-new-models-chevrolet-equinox-ev-tops-charts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">new EV offerings</a>.
In August, Ford said that it is&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/08/40496864/ford-scraps-electric-suv-as-it-adjusts-to-lower-electric-vehicle-demand" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">killing its plans to build a three-row electric SUV</a>, initially slated for production in 2025. The company also postponed its plans for a new electric version of its F-150 pickup to 2027 and said it will start making a new electric commercial van in 2026.
For the third quarter, Ford's EV segment called "Model e" reported an EBIT loss of $1.2 billion after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41597865/fords-ev-segment-weighed-down-by-pricing-pressures-competition-ceo-jim-farley-points-out-very-aggres">cost improvements were offset by industrywide pricing pressure</a>, taking its loss this year through the end of September to $3.7 billion. The company now expects a full-year EBIT loss of $5 billion from the segment. 
EBIT refers to earnings before interest and taxes.
Price Action: Ford&#8217;s stock closed 1.7% down on Thursday at $10.29, but rose marginally by 0.2% in premarket trading on Friday. Year-to-date, the automaker&#8217;s shares are down 15.4%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Ford F-150 Lightning Pickup Truck Production To Be Halted Temporarily After Tesla's Cybertruck Races Ahead In Q3 (Updated)

The stock market indexes have enjoyed record highs in recent years with the S&amp;P 500 outperforming other years with President Joe Biden leading the country for the last <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/02/37275812/if-you-invested-in-the-s-p-500-when-joe-biden-became-president-heres-how-much-youd-have-today">nearly four years.</a>
With the 2024 presidential election nearing, here's a look back at the top performing S&amp;P 500 stocks in 2021, which was Biden's first year in the White House.
What Happened: Biden stepped down from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">the 2024 presidential election </a>earlier this year. While the current president won't be re-elected to the White House, past performance with a Democrat as president could highlight which stocks and sectors could be winners if Kamala Harris is victorious in Tuesday's election.
The S&amp;P 500, which is tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) was up 26.9% in 2021. This marked the best yearly performance since 2018 and the second-best performance for the key stock market index in the last 11 years.
The 12 months following Election Day 2020, which was won by Biden, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/01/25137004/biden-vs-trump-how-did-stock-market-returns-compare-after-their-first-year-as-president">saw the S&amp;P 500 gain 37.4%.</a> This was the best one-year market return under a president in many years.
Here were the 10 best-performing S&amp;P 500 stocks in 2021, according to a <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/top-10-best-performing-stocks-190949855.html">report </a>from InvestorPlace, and their sectors.
<ol>
<li>Devon Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DVN#NYSE">DVN</a>): 196.1%, energy</li>
<li>Marathon Oil (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRO#NYSE">MRO</a>): 149.7%, energy</li>
<li>Moderna (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRNA#NASDAQ">MRNA</a>): 143.1%, health care/biotech</li>
<li>Fortinet (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FTNT#NASDAQ">FTNT</a>): 142.0%, technology/cybersecurity</li>
<li>Signature Bank (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBNY#OTC">SBNY</a>): 141.5%, financials</li>
<li>Ford (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>): 137.5%, automotive</li>
<li>Bath &amp; Body Works (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBWI#NYSE">BBWI</a>): 133.7%, consumer discretionary/retail</li>
<li>Diamondback Energy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FANG#NASDAQ">FANG</a>): 127.4%, energy</li>
<li>NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>): 125.5%, technology/semiconductors</li>
<li>Nucor (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>): 118.4%, industrials</li>
</ol>
The results above show that energy was a top sector in 2021 and represented several of the top-performing stocks for the year. Technology also had several companies on the list.

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/signature-bank" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Signature Bank</a>, which was the third-largest bank failure in U.S. history, was a top performer in 2017.
Investors should consider whether these past results could repeat if Harris is elected and begins her presidential term in 2025. Energy isn't often thought of as a segment that could do well under a Democratic president, but past results show that the sector could do well, at least in the first year.
Coincidentally, energy was cited as a potential poor sector if Trump wins the 2024 election based on the 2017 results. What likely happened in 2017, and what could happen again, is a run-up in stocks during the election year and a potential selloff in the year after as investors take profits.
With less than one week until the 2024 election, investors are likely positioning their portfolio based on a Trump or&nbsp;Harris&nbsp;victory in some regards. With a close election predicted, investors may want to look to sectors that could benefit under either candidate.
Freedom Capital Markets&nbsp;Chief Global Strategist&nbsp;Jay Woods&nbsp;previously<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/24/08/40515453/exclusive-trump-or-harris-12-stocks-2-etfs-could-win-no-matter-whos-president-says-market-strate" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;shared some sectors&nbsp;</a>and stocks to watch with Benzinga that could benefit regardless of whether Trump or Harris wins the 2024 election.
Woods named defense stocks and cybersecurity stocks as two of the top sectors to watch ahead of the 2024 election.
&#8220;I think you&#8217;ve got to watch this sector closely,&#8221; Woods said of the defense sector.
Woods added that defense stocks could continue to benefit from geopolitical concerns and the world's many adverse events.

These 10 Stocks Were S&P 500's Top Performers In Biden's First Year: Could Trend Continue If Harris Wins 2024 Election?

Ongoing flooding in Eastern and Southern Spain has caused one of the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/climate-change"> worst humanitarian disasters</a> in the region in decades.
What Happened: At least 158 people have been killed by flooding caused by torrential rain on Tuesday night and Wednesday, <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/live/ckmgmdxg254t">according</a> to the BBC. The damage is concentrated around the Valencia region. In some areas, the eight-hour rainfall matched a typical year&#8217;s worth of rain.
<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/spain-flooding-51-dead-in-valencia-region-economic-hub-2024-10">According</a> to Business Insider, an early insurer estimate of economic damage caused by the storm &#8220;easily&#8221; exceeds 1 billion euros.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez told residents to stay at home as more rain is expected to fall on Friday.
&#8220;To the villages and cities destroyed by this tragedy, I say the same: Together, we will rebuild your streets, your squares, your bridges," Sánchez said in a televised address, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/spain-flash-floods-people-killed-valencia-rcna177979">according</a> to NBC.
Why it Matters: Increases in the frequency of extreme weather events are widely attributed to climate change.
The automotive industry is prominent in Valencia. 
Ford Motor Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) has a large manufacturing plant in Almussafes, just south of Valencia. This facility is one of Ford&#8217;s key production sites in Europe. Significant flooding or infrastructure damage in this region could disrupt operations or logistics, potentially affecting Ford's production timelines.
Iberdrola SA (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBDRY#OTC">IBDRY</a>) is a large utility provider in Spain. <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/30/world/europe/spain-floods-valencia.html?smid=tw-nytimes&amp;smtyp=cur">According</a> to the New York Times, the flood left 155,000 customers without power. General Electric Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>) does not have a manufacturing facility in the vicinity, though its partnership with Iberdrola and projects in Spain could cause some disruption.
Construction companies could stand to benefit from investment in the region following the cessation of the storm. Ferrovial SE (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FER#NASDAQ">FER</a>) and ACS Actividades De Construccion Y Servicios ADR (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACSAY#OTC">ACSAY</a>) are among Spain&#8217;s largest publicly traded construction companies.
Investors should also pay close attention to the Spain-tracking iShares Msci Spain ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWP#NYSE">EWP</a>) for any volatility in the coming days.

Deadly Floods Strike Spain: 5 Stocks To Watch As Prime Minister Vows To 'Rebuild'

Ford Motor Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) shares are <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" rel="noreferrer noopener">trading lower on Thursday.</a>
The company is reportedly set to pause production of its F-150 Lightning from mid-November until the year's end, citing weaker-than-anticipated demand for the electric pickup, Automotive News <a target="_blank" href="https://www.autonews.com/ford/an-f150-lightning-downtime/" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a>.
Including the planned holiday downtime in December, Ford will halt the F-150 production at its Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in suburban Detroit from Nov. 18. The company has sold 22,807 units in the first nine months of 2024.
According to Reuters, Ford has been consolidating its electric vehicle ambitions. In August, it announced that it would scrap plans for a three-row electric SUV and delay the launch of an electric version of its top-selling F-150 pickup.
Ford's F-150 EV is not a money maker despite higher sales in 2024. According to this report, Ford is offering dealers up to $1,500 for each 2024 F-150 Lightning they order from new EV distribution centers.
According to&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>, F stock has lost over 15.42% year-to-date. Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;the First Trust Nasdaq Transportation ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FTXR#NASDAQ">FTXR</a>) and&nbsp;the WBI Power Factor High Dividend ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBIY#NYSE">WBIY</a>).
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is Ford Motor A Good Stock To Buy?</h2>
An investor can make a few decisions when deciding whether a stock is a good buy. In addition to valuation metrics and price action which you can find on Benzinga's quote pages &#8211; like <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/F" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ford Motor's</a> page for example &#8211; there are factors like whether or not a company pays a dividend or buys a large portion of its stock each quarter.
These are known as capital allocation programs. Ford Motor does pay a dividend, which yields 4.89% per year as of the closing price on Oct. 31, 2024. Feel free to search Benzinga's <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/dividends" rel="noreferrer noopener">dividend calendar</a> for the next company that is due to pay a dividend and determine what kind of yield you can earn for holding a share of the company.
For example, if you're looking to earn an annualized return of 17.18%, you'll need to buy a share of Cryo-Cell International by the Nov. 15, 2024. Once done, you can expect to receive a nominal payout of $0.25 on Nov. 29, 2024.
Buyback programs are obviously different and highly variable. A company can approve a buyback program and purchase shares as it sees fit over the course of time in which the buyback was authorized. Looking through the latest news on <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/F" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ford Motor</a> will often yield whether or not the company has approved a buyback program recently. Buyback programs usually serve as a support for share prices, serving as a backstop for demand.
Price Action: F shares are trading lower by 1.67% to $10.30 at last check Thursday.

Fleetio Announced The Expansion Of Its Embedded Integration With Ford Modern Equipped Vehicles And Ford Pro Plug-In Device Technology

New battery electric vehicle (BEV) registrations in California rose 1% year-on-year to 293,109 units this year as of the end of September, according to data from the California New Car Dealers Association (CNCDA).
What Happened: As per the data, BEVs accounted for 22.2% of new vehicle registrations in California in the nine months, higher than the national BEV market share of 7.9%. 
In fact, California accounted for 32.1% of U.S. BEV registrations as of the end of September this year.

Tesla, however, continues to be the best-selling EV brand in the state, seconded by Hyundai which had 16,433 registrations in the period. 
Rival Player Performance: While General Motors&#8216; brand Chevrolet witnessed BEV registrations fall nearly 42% in the nine months through the end of September, its sister brand Cadillac saw registrations go up by a whopping 315%. 
Michigan-based Ford witnessed a 17% rise in EV registrations and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40219148/california-governor-gavin-newsom-slams-elon-musks-tesla-applauds-rivian-after-in-state-zero-emission">Califonia-based Rivian </a>a modest 35% rise to 9,049 units.

Deutsche Bank Maintains Hold on Ford Motor, Lowers Price Target to $10

Wall Street took a breather on Tuesday, with most major indices treading water, while tech stocks saw gains as investors braced for earnings <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41579487/amd-q3-earnings-preview-can-ai-server-gains-help-narrow-the-semiconductor-gap-with-">reports from mega-cap companies.</a>
The Nasdaq 100 rose 0.7%, buoyed by anticipation around upcoming earnings from Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), both set to report after market close.
Elsewhere, the S&amp;P 500 was largely unchanged, the Dow Jones dipped slightly, and small-cap stocks underperformed.
In economic news, U.S. job openings dropped by 418,000 to 7.443 million in September 2024 — marking the lowest level since January 2021 and falling short of the market's expectation of 7.99 million.
The Conference Board&#8217;s Consumer Confidence Index surged, posting its largest monthly gain since March 2021. This suggests that while labor demand may be slowing, consumer sentiment remains robust.
Treasury yields continued to climb during concerns over the U.S. budget deficit and political uncertainty ahead of next week's elections. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note hit 4.33%, the highest level since early July.
Notably, gold prices remained resilient, with the precious metal breaking above the all-time high of $2,770 per ounce as investors sought a hard asset amid fiscal concerns.
The crypto market also saw notable gains. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) rose nearly 4% to reach $72,700, nearing its record high of $73,697 set in March. Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) continued its momentum with a 10% rally on Tuesday, following an 11% surge on Monday.
