The U.S. stock market struggled to gain momentum on Monday as investors remained cautious ahead of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/election-day">Election Day on Tuesday</a>. 
Vice President Kamala Harris holds a 1-point lead over ex-President Donald Trump, according to the New York Times national polling average; she has a 4-point lead among likely voters nationally, <a href="https://maristpoll.marist.edu/polls/u-s-presidential-contest-november-2024/">according to the latest PBS News/NPR/Marist poll</a>.
Betting markets, as tracked by the CFTC-regulated Kalshi, favor a Trump win at a 53% chance, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/11/41702729/harris-surges-in-prediction-markets-nabs-kalshi-lead-with-just-three-days-to-go">but with diminishing odds</a> compared to previous weeks. Also, the betting odds are susceptible to wild swings from so-called "whale" bettors, including one individual on Polymarket <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41463756/polymarket-to-review-user-base-in-light-of-whales-betting-millions-on-trump-election-win" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">who spent as much as</a> $43 million on a Trump victory.

&#8220;Neither candidate holds a meaningful edge in enough states to win 270 electoral votes. In the history of modern polling, there's never been a race where the final polls showed such a close contest,&#8221; said Nate Cohn, chief political analyst for the New York Times. 
The S&amp;P 500 slipped 0.2%, while the Dow dropped 0.6%, hitting its lowest intraday level since mid-September. In contrast, small-cap stocks in the Russell 2000 outperformed, rising 1%. The Nasdaq 100 also retreated, dipping below the 20,000 mark.
Treasury yields fell by nearly 10 basis points as investors scaled back positions linked to Trump&#8217;s inflationary policies, such as high tariffs and more expansionary fiscal measures. The dollar also weakened, down 0.5%.
The increasing likelihood of a Harris victory gave a boost to solar and renewable energy stocks, with the Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>) climbing 3.6%. 
Oil and gas stocks also gained, as crude prices surged 3% after OPEC+ postponed an anticipated production hike. Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) jumped 3%, marking its largest single-day gain since late June.
Gold held steady at $2,740, while Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) fell over 1%, dropping below $68,000.

Live On CNBC, Josh Brown Says "Marriott Set To Break Out"

Welcome to the most important week of trading in 2024! If you think this is an overstatement, I challenge you to find a better one. The General Election is on Tuesday, and whether we see the results of who will occupy the White House by Wednesday morning or not, we will have chosen a route at the fork in the road. 
Pre-market futures are flat currently: the Dow is -17 points while the S&amp;P 500 is +6 and the Nasdaq +3 points. Bond yields are now a lukewarm +4.28% on the 10-year and +4.135% on the 2-year. When returns begin coming in Tuesday evening, we may then start to see the stock market wrangle a new direction.
<h2>Election Tuesday; Election Results&hellip;?</h2>
Whether Donald Trump returns to office as only the second non-consecutive two-term President (Grover Cleveland, 1884 and 1892) or Vice President Kamala Harris steps to the fore as the 47th president, based on how close polling data remains, we may not know the answer until sometime after Wednesday morning. Recall that in 2020, Joe Biden wasn&#39;t officially declared the winner until Saturday morning of Election Week.
There are far too many variables currently to fashion a market response, and we should be OK with this, near-term. The S&amp;P in 2024 so far is up +20% &mdash; not too shabby for an economy that was supposed to be mired in a deep recession at this time.
<h2>Fed Rate Decision Thursday</h2>
The last time the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) got together, back in mid-September, it cut interest rates for the first time since March 2020, when they were pulled to 0-0.25% ahead of the Covid pandemic. Coming down 50 (basis points) bps instead of the widely expected 25 bps, the Fed funds rate was brought down to 4.75-5.00%. Thursday&#39;s move lower will be the first time we&#39;ve had sub-5% interested rates since February 2023.
We&#39;ve had a month and a half&#39;s worth of economic data between that last cut and Thursday&#39;s pending decision, and based on a mere 12K new jobs filled in October alone, it looks like a 25 bps trim is baked into the cake. The market&#39;s already there, although not in a mood to bid higher until after these heavy shoes drop.
<h2>Q3 Earnings Season Heats Up, Post-Marquee Names Reporting</h2>
Far too many companies are reporting to properly shake a stick at, so here&#39;s a few choice results which caught our eye this morning:
Marriott (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mar#NASDAQ">MAR</a>) posted slight misses on both top and bottom lines this morning, with Q3 earnings of $2.26 per share missing the Zacks consensus by 5 cents. Revenues of $6.26 billion were -0.45% below analysts&#39; expectations. Shares are down -2% on the news.

Wall Street Awaits U.S. Presidential Election, FOMC Meeting

Marriott International (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAR#NASDAQ">MAR</a>) shares dropped Monday following third-quarter earnings <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41714051/marriott-international-q3-earnings-china-market-weakness-drags-on-performance-adjusts-full-year-out">that missed expectations</a>. Despite a decline, the stock appears to have found support at a key price level, reflecting &#8220;market memory.&#8221;
Sometimes, a price level that had previously been resistance can turn into a support level months later, as you can see on the Marriott chart, which is why our team of technical analysts and traders has made it our Stock of the Day.
In July, Marriott&#8217;s stock was trending higher as demand outpaced supply, pushing buyers to drive the price up to attract sellers.
When the shares reached the $254 level, the dynamic changed. There was more than enough stock for sale. Every buy order could be filled without pushing the price higher.

But then some of the sellers worried that other sellers would undercut them. They knew the buyers would go to whoever was willing to sell for the lowest price, so they reduced the prices at which they were willing to sell.
Other worried sellers saw this and did the same. This caused a snowball effect, driving the shares into a downtrend.
Marriott broke the resistance at $254 in early October and moved higher. When this happened, many of the traders and investors who sold their shares at the resistance thought they had made a mistake. A number of them decided to buy their shares back.
But they would only do so if they could get them for the same price they were sold.
Now that the stock has reversed and dropped back to around $254, many of these remorseful sellers are placing buy orders. The large concentration of these orders has created support around a price level that had previously been resistance.

Insights From Analysts:
A Harris win could see the U.S. dollar weakening, according to ING analyst Francesco Pesole.
"Despite some unwinding of Trump trades, asset markets are still broadly pricing in a Trump win. As things stand now, we expect the dollar to sell off if Harris wins, while the impact of a Trump win may depend more on the Congress composition."
On the other hand, rate cut expectations seem to be unanimous among analysts, even though the Presidential race is neck-to-neck.
"On Thursday, when we may or may not know who the next President is going to be, we should almost certainly see a 25 basis points cut from the Fed and a reiteration from [Fed Chair] Powell that the Fed&#8217;s subsequent meetings will be data dependent," Deutsche Bank analyst Jim Reid in a research note.
Fed chair Jerome Powell's commentary would also be on the Street's radar as it looks for guidance on the central bank's rate action going forward.
&#8220;We look for Fed Chair Powell to once again be the voice of reason corralling the FOMC to prudently ease monetary policy,&#8221; said EY Chief Economist Gregory Daco.
Nathan Peterson, Director of Derivatives Analysis at the Schwab Center for Financial Research, laid <a href="https://www.schwab.com/learn/story/weekly-traders-outlook/">out</a> the thesis for market movements for the next week.
"My overall forecast for next week is &#8220;volatile and bearish.&#8221; What could challenge my outlook? If Election Results are not drawn out (meaning we have clarity on the winner following Election Day), or the Fed doesn&#8217;t provide a hawkish tone next Thursday, like I suspect they will, then stocks will likely rally."

At a current reading of 48.8, the index remained in the &#8220;Neutral&#8221; zone on Friday, versus a prior reading of 46.5.
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

Marriott Intl's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAR#NYSE">MAR</a>) short percent of float has risen 5.5% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 5.02 million shares sold short, which is 2.3% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 4.03 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Marriott Intl Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1730478624_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Marriott Intl has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Marriott Intl's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Marriott Intl's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 7.12%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>
