Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras, following up on the release disclosed on July 9, 2024, informs that it has signed two agreements with Yara and Araucária Nitrogenados S.A. (ANSA), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company, in a next step towards structuring a potential partnership within fertilizers and industrial products.
The first agreement includes the commercialization by Yara of Automotive Liquid Reducing Agent (ARLA 32) produced at ANSA, which will be made using urea supplied by Yara as a raw material. This agreement will allow the resumption of domestic production of the product, which is currently imported. The industrialization process will be carried out in parallel with the activities to fully resume operations at the Araucária plant.
The second is a technical cooperation agreement for the development of joint studies of fertilizers and industrial products, as well as energy transition efforts linked to decarbonization projects and the production of renewable and low-carbon fertilizers. This scientific, technological and operational cooperation aims to achieve greater production efficiency and increase the supply of these products on the market.

President-elect Donald Trump reportedly added more names to his list of possible picks for Treasury secretary over the weekend after Elon Musk voiced his<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/24/11/42026495/musk-pushes-lutnick-for-trumps-treasury-secretary"> preference for Howard Lutnick.</a>
What Happened: Musk threw his support behind Lutnick in a post on his social media platform, X, on Saturday. The Tesla CEO and Trump-confidante also called on others to weigh in on the appointment.&nbsp;
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

My view fwiw is that Bessent is a business-as-usual choice, whereas <a href="https://twitter.com/howardlutnick?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@howardlutnick</a> will actually enact change.

Lutnick has organized fundraisers for the President-elect and is currently a co-chair of Trump's transition effort. Scott Bessent, the founder of hedge fund Key Square Group, was a principal economic advisor to Trump during his campaign and met with the President-elect at Mar-a-Lago on Friday.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Why It Matters: According to a Bloomberg<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-16/musk-throws-support-to-lutnick-over-bessent-in-treasury-race?sref=TBDibEcD"> report</a>, Trump has appeared "frustrated" with the infighting. Alternatives to Lutnick and Bessent are in consideration.
Robert Lighthizer, Senator William Hagerty, former Federal Reserve governor Kevin Warsh and Marc Rowan, CEO of Apollo Global Management, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APO#NYSE">APO</a>) are among the names being floated as alternatives, according to people familiar with the matter.&nbsp;
Trump made several unconventional picks for cabinet nominees so far, including former U.S. Representative Matt Gaetz for US <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/11/42036132/trump-wants-matt-gaetz-confirmed-100-so-does-the-cannabis-industry">attorney general</a> and Fox News host Pete Hegseth for defense secretary. Trump recently nominated Chris Wright, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42024837/trump-taps-liberty-energy-ceo-chris-wright-for-energy-secretary">oil and natural</a> gas executive, to lead the Energy Department. Wright&#8217;s attorney, William Owen Scharf, is being considered for staff secretary. 
The entire country, including Wall Street, will be watching for Trump's Treasury secretary selection as the position is responsible for formulating financial, economic and tax policies and serves as the government&#8217;s chief financial officer.&nbsp;

Trump Appears 'Frustrated' As Elon Musk Chimes In On Treasury Secretary, Adds More Names To List Of Potential Picks

Dave Ramsey is known today as a straight-talking personal finance expert. But before becoming a household name, Ramsey went through a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40512938/dave-ramseys-blunt-advice-your-finances-are-80-behavior-avoid-this-one-costly-mistake">financial crisis</a> that turned his life upside down. It all started when he realized how deep in debt he was – and when American Express <a href="https://x.com/DaveRamsey/status/1854926812306194616">called</a> his wife, questioning her choice to stay with a man who couldn't pay his bills. That moment sparked a transformation that changed Dave&#8217;s life and led him to help millions of others regain control of their finances.

In the late 1980s, Ramsey was flying high. By age 28, he had built up a $4 million real estate portfolio and was well on his way to what he thought was lasting wealth. But things came crashing down fast. Changes in banking laws led to his loans being called in and Ramsey suddenly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41496567/i-splatted-it-hurt-says-dave-ramsey-referring-to-the-sudden-call-on-his-1-2-million-loans-that-turne">needed to repay $1.2 million</a>. He was forced into bankruptcy with no way to liquidate his properties quickly enough.
That was a tough pill to swallow. Ramsey recalls, &#8220;I splatted. It hurt.&#8221; The financial crash didn't just wipe out his wealth; it made life at home tense and uncertain. To make things worse, creditors were relentless. Ramsey vividly remembers when an American Express representative called his wife, Sharon, asking why she'd "stay with a man that won't pay his bills." "I was a very mad redneck,&#8221; Ramsey admits and that was the moment he knew things had to change.
Trending: Studies show 50% of consumers think Financial Advisors cost much more than they do —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/money-pickle"> to debunk this, this company provides matching for free and a complimentary first call with the matched advisor.</a>
Ramsey made a decision: No more debt. Ever again. He vowed to be "the last Ramsey in this branch of the family tree in debt." He <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41258919/dave-ramsey-tells-mark-cuban-75-of-the-worlds-richest-say-do-this-to-build-wealth-listen-to-them">canceled all his credit cards</a>, swore off borrowing money and resolved to teach his children – and anyone else who would listen – how to build wealth without relying on debt. It wasn&#8217;t just about building wealth but about breaking the cycle and starting a new chapter.

Ramsey and Sharon lived on a strict budget, drove an old car and made sacrifices to make ends meet. &#8220;It was so bad that I was highly motivated to get out of that car as fast as I could,&#8221; Ramsey shared. But those sacrifices paid off.&nbsp;
They gradually climbed out of the hole and as they did, people began noticing Ramsey&#8217;s changes. Friends encouraged him to share his story and before long, he spoke to church groups and hosted a small radio show. This began his life's mission: helping others escape the debt trap.

In the current market session, Dow Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DOW#NYSE">DOW</a>) price is at $44.20, after a 0.36% spike. However, over the past month, the stock decreased by 15.14%, and in the past year, by 14.59%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is undervalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1731951908_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Dow P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Dow has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 35.65 of the Chemicals industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1731951908_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

As blockchain technology continues to make strides in the financial industry, bridging the gap between decentralized digital assets and established financial systems has become a growing priority. 
Adam Guren, founder and CIO of Hunting Hill Global Capital, views this shift as a promising but gradual process, with digital assets increasingly being treated as "a reliable part of the financial landscape." 
Guren will explore this topic further at the upcoming <a href="https://benzinga.swoogo.com/digital-assets/6342807">Benzinga Future of Digital Assets event</a>.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Moving from Concept to Practical Use</h1>
Guren notd the involvement of firms like Citi and JPMorgan reflects how blockchain technology is moving from "concept to practice" in finance. By exploring blockchain's capabilities, traditional financial institutions are acknowledging its potential to improve transaction speed and transparency. However, Guren pointed out that blending blockchain with established financial systems brings complex challenges.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://benzinga.swoogo.com/digital-assets/6342807"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="300" height="250" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/14002620/905735A6-57D3-4874-9AA1-75D037842DB3-1-17.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-646949" /></a></figure>
"For firms like ours, operating across both traditional finance and digital assets, one key challenge is creating that seamless bridge," Guren explained. Integrating blockchain into established systems requires careful consideration of regulatory requirements, operational differences, and distinct philosophies between traditional and digital finance.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Balancing Security and Trust</h1>
According to Guren, the integration of blockchain into finance calls for infrastructure that balances operational strength with high levels of security. "It's about finding ways to integrate responsibly, fostering trust," he said, stressing the importance of ensuring that digital asset frameworks work well within the existing financial landscape.
As digital assets continue to enter mainstream finance, Guren's perspective highlights the steps needed for a smooth integration. At the <a href="https://benzinga.swoogo.com/digital-assets/6342807">Benzinga Future of Digital Assets </a>event, he will address these complexities, focusing on how digital and traditional finance can align for a more efficient and secure future.
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
As the digital asset market continues to mature, the convergence of regulatory shifts, M&amp;A activities, and adoption trends will define the future of this dynamic field. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/digital-assets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga's Future of Digital Assets</a> event in New York City on Nov. 19 will provide industry leaders and investors with a platform to explore these developments further, offering insights into the evolving regulatory environment and the latest market dynamics.
