Cathie Wood's Wednesday Exodus: Moderna And Jack Dorsey's Block Stocks Get Dumped

Ripple Labs CEO Brad Garlinghouse outlined a cryptocurrency-focused agenda for President-elect Donald Trump, suggesting key changes to the SEC and pushing for clarity on Ethereum&#8217;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) status.
What Happened: Garlinghouse congratulated Trump on the presidential victory and proposed a series of actions for his first 100 days in office. 
Ripple&#8217;s top executive called for the dismissal of the current SEC head Gary Gensler, suggesting that former CFTC head Chris Giancarlo, former Acting Comptroller of the Currency Brian Brooks, or former SEC commissioner Daniel Gallagher could be suitable replacements. 
Garlinghouse also urged Trump to advance the digital asset market structure bill in the Senate by getting both Republicans and Democrats on the same side. Lastly, he sought clarity from the administration on whether Ethereum is considered a security.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse Proposes Crypto Blueprint For Trump's First 100 Days: 'Fire Gensler. Day 1, No Delays'

Wedbush Securities predicts Tesla Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) artificial intelligence initiatives could see major gains under a Trump presidency, despite potential headwinds for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41768178/donald-trump-defeats-kamala-harris-to-win-2024-election">broader electric vehicle sector</a>. 
What Happened: Dan Ives, a leading analyst at Wedbush Securities, projects that Donald Trump&#8216;s return to the White House could significantly boost Tesla&#8217;s AI ambitions, potentially unlocking &#8220;$1 trillion of incremental AI valuation&#8221; for the electric vehicle maker over the coming years.
However, the outlook for the broader EV industry appears mixed. Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who actively campaigned for Trump, has acknowledged that the incoming administration would likely eliminate EV subsidies and tax credits, as discussed during Tesla&#8217;s second-quarter earnings call.
&#8220;We believe Trump in the White House changes the landscape for Elon Musk and Tesla,&#8221; Ives said during an appearance on CNBC&#8217;s Squawk Street. The analyst characterized Musk&#8217;s alignment with Trump as a &#8220;major strategic bet&#8221; that could prove &#8220;very bullish for Tesla&#8217;s AI/autonomous story.&#8221;

Why It Matters: The firm projects Tesla&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41766869/trump-win-biggest-positive-for-elon-musks-tesla-tech-bull-says-it-could-boost-ev-gi">stock could see a $40-$50 price increase under a Trump presidency</a>, representing a potential upside of 16% to 20% based on current trading levels. Analysts attribute this positive outlook to Tesla&#8217;s established market position and manufacturing capabilities.
&#8220;We believe a Trump presidency would be an overall negative for the EV industry as likely the EV rebates/tax incentives get pulled,&#8221; Wedbush analysts wrote on Tuesday. &#8220;However, for Tesla, we see this as a potential positive with some caveats.&#8221;
Beyond Tesla, Ives anticipates significant AI initiatives that could benefit other <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41766869/trump-win-biggest-positive-for-elon-musks-tesla-tech-bull-says-it-could-boost-ev-gi">major tech players</a>, including Microsoft Corp., Amazon.com Inc., Alphabet Inc.&#8216;s Google, and Palantir Technologies Inc.
The analysis comes as Trump prepares to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41768178/donald-trump-defeats-kamala-harris-to-win-2024-election">assume office as the 47th president of the United States</a>, marking a period of potential transformation for both the technology and automotive sectors.
Price Action: Tesla Inc. showcased a standout performance on Wednesday, closing up 14.75% at $288.53, marking a significant single-day gain that brought its year-to-date rise to 16.15%. 
In contrast, key U.S.-based EV competitors struggled considerably, including Rivian Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>) and Nio Inc. (NYSE: NIO). Rivian dropped 8.31% to $9.71, extending its challenging 2024 trajectory with a year-to-date decline of 53.98%. Nio fell 5.30% to $5.00, with a year-to-date slide of 40.62%.
Chinese EV maker Xpeng Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>) and leading Chinese hybrid-electric giant BYD Company (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) also experienced losses, albeit to a lesser extent. Xpeng closed down 3.98% at $12.30, while BYD dropped 4.53% to $71.93, though BYD remains a strong performer overall, up 33.95% year-to-date.
On the ETF side, Tesla&#8217;s momentum mirrored that of Simplify Volt RoboCar Disruption and Tech ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VCAR#NYSE">VCAR</a>), which surged 18.48% on Tuesday. However, the broader EV sector showed mixed results, with the SPDR S&amp;P Kensho Smart Mobility ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HAIL#NYSE">HAIL</a>) increasing by only 1.23%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Arthur Azizov, CEO of cryptocurrency payment provider B2BINPAY, said in a statement to Benzinga that Bitcoin might correct sharply by the end of this week or early next.
"The Bitcoin chart shows significant uncovered liquidity below the current price, while liquidity above has already been absorbed, indicating that a downward movement is needed to support sustainable future growth. Additionally, the Federal Reserve's rate announcement on Thursday is expected to bring further price volatility," Azizov added.
Furthermore, he expected BTC to range between $80,000 and $90,000 by year-end.

Rocket Labs CEO Peter Beck's X Account Hijacked By Crypto Scammers

Robert Kennedy Jr. has disclosed President-Elect Donald Trump&#8217;s three-fold directive to him, aimed at transforming the nation&#8217;s health landscape.
What Happened: On Wednesday, Kennedy Jr. took to X to share the tasks Trump has assigned to him. He wrote that Trump asked him to do three things: clean up corruption in health agencies, restore evidence-based science, and end the chronic disease epidemic to make America healthy again.

This announcement comes after Trump&#8217;s previous pledge to give Kennedy <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41565423/trump-says-robert-kennedy-jr-can-run-wild-on-health-and-food-im-going-to-let-him-go-wild-on-the-medi">full authority over health</a>, food, and medicine issues if he secures a second term. The former President had expressed his intent to allow Kennedy to &#8220;run wild&#8221; on these matters, with the exception of oil.
Kennedy Jr. is known for his contentious views on vaccines and has also been know to speak out regularly on food additives. In the aftermath of the election, shares of pharmaceutical companies, particularly those associated with the COVID-19 vaccine, have slid.
On Wednesday Pfizer Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>) and Modern Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRNA#NASDAQ">MRNA</a>) stocks hovered near their 52-week lows of $25.20 and $49.60 respectively. For the day, PFE ended 2.2% lower at $27.36, while MRNA dropped 2.8% to $51.81. The iShares U.S. Pharmaceuticals ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IHE#NYSE">IHE</a>) fell 0.5% to $68.39 in a similar period.
Why It Matters: Kennedy&#8217;s new role and the tasks assigned to him align with Trump&#8217;s earlier statements. In a recent interview, Trump showed tentative support for Kennedy&#8217;s plan to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41704387/robert-kennedy-jr-says-he-will-advise-all-us-water-systems-to-remove-fluoride-on-day-1-of-trump-admi">remove fluoride from water</a>, a move aimed at improving public health. Kennedy, known for his health-related advocacies, stated that his administration would encourage all U.S. water systems to eliminate fluoride on its first day in office.
Furthermore, Kennedy had previously disclosed that he might be appointed by Trump to select leaders for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40931166/robert-kennedy-jr-trump-wants-him-to-help-pick-cdc-fda-and-nih-leaders-unravel-the-capture-of-agenci">key public health agencies</a>, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration, and the National Institutes of Health. This latest announcement seems to confirm his involvement in these agencies, marking a significant shift in the country&#8217;s health policies.

Today, at 10:00 AM on November 6th, a significant trading signal occurred for First Citizens BancShares, Inc. as it demonstrated a Power Inflow at a price of $2171.52. This indicator is crucial for traders who want to know directionally where institutions and so-called "smart money" moves in the market.

Signal description
Order flow analytics, aka transaction or market flow analysis, separate and study both the retail and institutional volume rate of orders (flow). It involves analyzing the flow of buy and sell orders, along with size, timing, and other associated characteristics and patterns, to gain insights and make more informed trading decisions. This particular indicator is interpreted as a bullish signal by active traders.&nbsp;
The Power Inflow occurs within the first two hours of the market open and generally signals the trend that helps gauge the stock&#8217;s overall direction, powered by institutional activity in the stock, for the remainder of the day.&nbsp;
By incorporating order flow analytics into their trading strategies, market participants can better interpret market conditions, identify trading opportunities, and potentially improve their trading performance. But let's not forget that while watching smart money flow can provide valuable insights, it is crucial to incorporate effective risk management strategies to protect capital and mitigate potential losses. Employing a consistent and effective risk management plan helps traders navigate the uncertainties of the market in a more controlled and calculated manner, increasing the likelihood of long-term success

Tapping into voters&#8217; dissatisfaction with the economy, among other issues, Donald Trump won the popular vote in the presidential <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41768178/donald-trump-defeats-kamala-harris-to-win-2024-election">election</a> on Tuesday night. 
Meanwhile, bond traders on Wall Street dubbed &#8220;bond vigilantes&#8221; remain worried about long-term economic prospects under a Trump presidency.
What Are Bond Vigilantes?: A bond vigilante is an investor who protests against inflationary monetary or fiscal policies by selling bonds. This, in turn, increases bond yields which can force politicians&#8217; hand against inflationary policies.
Inflation necessitates increases in interest rates which erode the value of bonds.
Yields increased sharply during the Clinton administration during a period of concern over fiscal spending. The administration subsequently reduced the federal deficit, leading yields to recede.
The Trump Campaign: Trump&#8217;s 2024 campaign focused on populist economic policies, including high tariffs on imported goods and a possible elimination of the income tax. Experts say that Trump&#8217;s agenda would spur economic growth but would <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/06/39131503/ex-treasury-secretary-larry-summers-warns-trumps-re-election-may-push-mortgage-rate">be highly inflationary</a>.
Trump ran on tax cuts in his 2016 election win and enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs, which <a href="https://taxfoundation.org/blog/tcja-corporate-tax-economic-effects/">boosted</a> corporate investment but <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/06/39462030/trump-added-nearly-two-times-more-to-the-national-debt-than-biden-while-in-office-new-report">added $1.9 trillion</a> to the U.S. national debt.
If Trump follows through on his policy commitments — which could be likely with a solidly red Senate and a yet-to-be-called House of Representatives — the fiscal deficit will balloon.
The Bond Market Reacts: The bond market quickly reacted to Trump&#8217;s win. The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield rose to 4.479%, its highest mark since July.
Much of Trump&#8217;s win was already priced in by the markets —10-year yields are up over seven-tenths of a percentage point since early September.

In the aftermath of the 2024 presidential election, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has publicly criticized the Democratic Party&#8217;s handling of working-class issues.
What Happened: A statement released on Tuesday by Sanders expressed his disappointment with the Democratic Party&#8217;s neglect of the working class, which he believes has led to their abandonment of the party. 
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

&#8220;It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them.&#8221;
Sanders highlighted the increasing income and wealth inequality in the U.S., with 60% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck. He also criticized the country&#8217;s healthcare system and its continued financial support for the Netanyahu government.
&#8220;Unbelievably, real, inflation-accounted-for weekly wages for the average American worker are actually lower now than they were 50 years ago.&#8221;
Sanders wondered if the Democratic party would actually learn any real lessons from this &#8220;disastrous campaign.&#8221; He expressed his lack of confidence in this being a learning movement for the democrats.
&#8220;In the coming weeks and months those of us concerned about grassroots democracy and economic justice need to have some very serious political discussions,&#8221; said Sanders.
In a post on X, on Wednesday, Sanders said, &#8220;While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change.&#8221; He said &#8220;They&#8217;re right.&#8221;

The election results sparked an &#8220;everything rally&#8221; on Wall Street, with major U.S. equity indices surging to record highs. This was largely due to investor optimism over anticipated favorable tax policies under the Trump administration.

What To Watch: Hurricanes affect people, homes and companies in their paths and spread wide-reaching effects on various sectors and industries. Insurance companies see an influx of claims resulting from damage to property and vehicles. Homes will have to be repaired and rebuilt driving sales of lumber, windows and sheetrock higher. Power outages cause consumers to seek portable generators as an alternative way to power their homes.&nbsp;
Home improvement stores like Home Depot Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) and Lowe&#8217;s Companies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LOW#NYSE">LOW</a>) could see a pop in sales as people rush to secure their homes before the storm and repair damage after. 
Generac Holdings Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GNRC#NYSE">GNRC</a>) designs and manufactures standby generators and portable generators and often sees its shares rise before and after major weather events. 
Shares of insurance companies tend to drop after natural disasters and investors may want to keep an eye on Allstate Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALL#NYSE">ALL</a>), Travelers Companies, Inc.(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRV#NYSE">TRV</a>) and Chubb Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CB#NYSE">CB</a>) in the days and weeks following a potential landfall from Hurricane Rafael. 
Power companies including Duke Energy Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DUK#NYSE">DUK</a>) and Southern Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SO#NYSE">SO</a>) could face increased labor costs and additional costs to repair infrastructure after the storm.

ASML Holding NV (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) shares were down 2.22% to $661.43 at market close Wednesday following news of Donald Trump's victory in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/41772701/trumps-historic-return-7-ways-his-second-term-could-impact-the-us-economy">2024 U.S. presidential election</a>.
Trump&#8217;s return to office, coupled with a Republican majority in the Senate and a lead in the House of Representatives, has raised concerns over renewed trade tensions and the possibility of aggressive tariffs.
What To Know: During his campaign, Trump proposed a 60% tariff on Chinese goods, along with a universal 10% tariff on all imports to the U.S. This policy direction is worrying for global technology companies, including ASML, as its advanced lithography machines are essential to semiconductor production worldwide.
ASML's products are already impacted by U.S.-China trade policies, given the semiconductor industry's reliance on complex international supply chains. ASML, which is headquartered in the Netherlands, sells its equipment globally, including to Chinese companies — a significant revenue stream now facing increased uncertainty.

What Else: The potential for additional restrictions on U.S. companies doing business with Chinese firms under Trump's administration could also hurt ASML's business indirectly. If U.S.-based tech giants face hurdles in the Chinese market, their demand for advanced lithography machines from ASML may diminish. 
Additionally, rising economic and political tensions could fuel an ongoing shift in tech supply chains as companies reassess global expansion plans and sourcing, a trend that could complicate ASML's growth strategy over the long term.
Market analysts at JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co underscored Trump's proposed tariffs are likely to be "a direct headwind to global technology trade," which could hit companies like ASML more acutely than other sectors.
Given ASML's reliance on global market stability and free trade to maintain its dominance in semiconductor manufacturing equipment, the return of protectionist trade policies under Trump's administration raises significant concerns about the company's medium- to long-term outlook.
According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, ASML has a 52-week high of $1,110.09 and a 52-week low of $633.80.
