Shares of prison and firearm stocks are trading higher following the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, which has lifted stocks that could benefit from a Trump presidency on Monday.

Several stocks are moving Monday following the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania over the weekend. Here&#8217;s what <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39763322/republicans-say-trump-rally-shooting-is-a-game-changer-for-former-president-he-just-won-the-election">you need to know</a>.
What To Know: Shares of Trump Media &amp; Technology Group Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>), the parent company of social media platform Truth Social, are rallying Monday after a bullet grazed Trump&#8217;s ear at a campaign rally on Saturday. The former President was treated at a local hospital before being released Saturday night. 
Analysts have suggested that the assassination attempt makes it more likely that Trump will win back the White House in November, according to <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/07/15/trump-media-shares-rise-after-assassination-attempt.html">CNBC</a>. Several Trump-related stocks appear to be getting a lift from increased optimism around Trump&#8217;s chances of winning reelection.

Phunware has ties to Trump dating back to 2020 when the company announced that it was working on the development, launch and ongoing management of the Trump 2020 Reelection Campaign&#8217;s mobile application portfolio. Rumble is a video platform and cloud services provider focused on creating an independent infrastructure. The company entered into a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/21/12/g24609491/trump-media-technology-group-announces-partnership-with-rumble-inc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">technology and cloud services agreement</a> with Trump Media &amp; Technology Group in late 2021.

Trump&#8217;s odds of winning the 2024 presidential election reportedly jumped to an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39764879/odds-of-trump-presidency-raised-to-all-time-high-by-crypto-bettors-after-assassination-bid">all-time high</a> after the former President survived the assassination attempt over the weekend. 
The Republican National Convention is set to kick off as planned on Monday, marking the first chance for party members to rally behind Trump after he survived the assassination attempt.

Trump Media, Other Trump-Linked Stocks Rally After Assassination Attempt On Former President

U.S. Surgeon General Vivek H. Murthy <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39358039/us-surgeon-general-calls-for-warning-labels-on-social-media-due-to-mental-health-risks">declared gun violence</a> a public health crisis Tuesday in a 39-page advisory.
What Happened: Murthy is imploring the nation to confront the issue with the same effort put toward reducing deaths and injuries from tobacco and motor vehicle accidents.
He also emphasized the significant physical and mental toll of gun violence on communities nationwide.
Deaths caused by guns climbed to a three-decade high in 2021 due to higher incidents of homicides and suicides, according to the advisory.
"I want people to understand the full impact of firearm violence in our country, and I want them to see it as a public health issue," Murthy told the Washington Post. "I know it's been polarizing and I know it's been politicized, but if we can see it as a public health issue, we can come together and implement a public health solution."
As of 2020, firearm-related injuries had become the No. 1 cause of death for children and adolescents ages 1 to 19 in the U.S. It exceeded those from vehicular accidents, cancer and heart disease.
Murthy said one of the reasons for the advisory is the rising number of mass shootings in the past decade, which he says has significant implications for mental health and the well-being of the country.

Why It Matters: There have been 15 mass killings (defined as an attack in which four or more people have died) so far in 2024, according <a href="https://projects.apnews.com/features/2023/mass-killings/index.html">to</a> The Associated Press. 
According to <a href="https://www.statista.com/topics/10843/mass-shootings-in-the-united-states/#editorsPicks">Statista.com</a>, 2017 had the greatest number of casualties from a mass shooting on record when a gunmen opened fire on a crowd of concertgoers in Las Vegas. Fifty-eight people died, with a total of <a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/476101/worst-mass-shootings-in-the-us/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">604 victims</a>. 
After that shooting, then-President Donald Trump put in place <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/02/37364628/trump-era-gun-control-measure-faces-supreme-court-scrutiny-the-bump-stock-ban-to-be-reviewed">a ban on bump stocks</a>, an accessory that speeds up the rate of fire of semi-automatic weapons (he has since <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-election-2024-nevada-south-carolina-a6339d7c607bc042bb01583876e129cb">told</a> NRA members that he "did nothing" on guns during his presidency).
Last week, the conservative-leaning Supreme Court <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/14/politics/supreme-court-bump-stocks/index.html">struck</a> down the ban. 
In March, President Joe Biden signed an executive order on gun control, strengthening background checks — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/psychology/23/03/31367898/biden-signs-comprehensive-gun-control-bill-triggering-many-republicans">a move that angered Republicans</a>. 
He has also urged Congress to tighten gun laws following the Supreme Court ruling, and began circulating clips of Trump, a Republican, saying, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-tells-supporters-get-iowa-school-shooting-move-forward-rcna132610" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">"We have to get over it"</a> after an Iowa school shooting in January.
The U.S. had a firearm-related death rate 11.4 times higher than 28 other high-income nations, according to 2015 data from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization.

Investors pinned hopes on&nbsp;Nvidia Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) earnings to reinvigorate market momentum, and the AI leader delivered an impressive&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/02/37255783/can-nvidia-join-apple-microsoft-in-2-trillion-club-today-heres-how-much-the-stock-n" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">beat-and-raise quarter</a>. This news buoyed major index futures in early Thursday trading, signaling a positive start to the day. Analysts have advocated seizing the recent market dip as a buying opportunity, amplifying anticipation for robust buying activity amidst prevalent FOMO sentiments.
However, market participants remain attentive to several factors shaping the day&#8217;s trading landscape, including scheduled Fed speeches, weekly jobless claims data, and private-sector activity readings.
Cues From Wednesday&#8217;s Trading:
Wednesday&#8217;s market session concluded with a mixed tone as investors digested hawkish Fed minutes, coupled with some disappointing tech earnings, while anxiously awaiting Nvidia&#8217;s report. Minutes from the January Federal Open Market Committee meeting revealed the central bank&#8217;s cautious stance on rate cuts, preferring to await clearer signals of sustainable inflation trends.
The day commenced with major indexes opening lower, maintaining a sideways trajectory, before deepening losses post-Fed minutes release. A late-session surge helped propel the S&amp;P 500 and Dow Industrials into positive territory, while the Nasdaq Composite, although ending lower, saw improvement from earlier lows, settling at its highest level since early February.
Energy and utility sectors led gains among the 11 S&amp;P 500 sector classes, while IT stocks experienced declines, reflecting the day&#8217;s mixed sentiment.

Labor market indicators such as job creation, wages, and layoffs are key data that could be important for determining the sustainability of the market rally, said Morgan Stanley&#8217;s Lisa Shalett. &#8220;With equity valuations already rich, can today's economic strength translate to positive surprises in company earnings? The answer likely hinges on what happens in the U.S. labor market,&#8221; she said.
If the labor market remains tight, with more jobs than available workers, companies may be pressured to raise wages, Shalett said, adding this could boost consumer spending but weigh on company profits. On the other hand, additional slack in the labor market could result in increased productivity and higher corporate profits, she said. &#8220;But there's a risk that a decline in jobs could also bring down consumer spending,&#8221; she said.
The key question is whether the economy strikes a balance between the two sides of that scale, Shalett said.

Given the crucial nature of this event, caution is likely to be the predominant sentiment with investors anxiously awaiting Nvidia&#8217;s performance. This anticipation is further amplified by the uncertainty surrounding its ability to meet the lofty expectations placed upon it.
Adding to the market&#8217;s concerns are upcoming speeches by Federal Reserve officials and, more importantly, the Fed minutes. Both pronouncements hold the potential to shed light on the future trajectory of interest rates, another significant factor influencing investor sentiment.
Cues From Tuesday&#8217;s Trading:
Three key developments weighed down the markets on Tuesday:
<ul>
<li>Mixed retail earnings:&nbsp;Performance reports from retailers painted a mixed picture, leaving investors unsure about the health of the consumer sector.</li>
<li>Nvidia anxiety:&nbsp;Apprehension mounted regarding Nvidia&#8217;s ability to live up to the high expectations set for its upcoming earnings report.</li>
<li>Leading economic index decline:&nbsp;The Conference Board&#8217;s leading economic index experienced a larger-than-anticipated drop, raising concerns about future economic growth.</li>
</ul>
These factors contributed to a negative market atmosphere, pushing major averages down:
<ul>
<li>Tech-heavy Nasdaq and S&amp;P 500:&nbsp;Both opened lower and remained below the flatline throughout the session. The S&amp;P 500 even dipped below the psychological barrier of 5,000.</li>
<li>Dow:&nbsp;The Dow experienced some morning volatility but ultimately closed lower.</li>
<li>Small-caps:&nbsp;The Russell 2000 underperformed, dropping 1.41%.</li>
<li>Sectors:&nbsp;Only consumer staples, led by Walmart&#8217;s positive results, managed to escape the overall decline. Conversely, IT and consumer discretionary stocks took the biggest hits.</li>
</ul>

The biggest risk for the market is the Fed, according to Fund Strat&#8217;s Tom Lee. The market needs to broaden for the sustenance of the rally and it&#8217;s going to broaden when interest-rate cuts begin to be priced in and investors begin to think about the roadmap, Lee <a href="https://twitter.com/LastCallCNBC/status/1760095988050506123">said</a> in a CNBC interview.
&#8220;If inflationary pressures don&#8217;t ease and the Fed starts to sort of second guess that, I think it puts a lot of pressure on stocks,&#8221; he said.
Although the probability of a Fed rate hike is very low if the market begins to price that in, it would put pressure on stocks, he added.

Upcoming Economic Data:
Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic is scheduled to give the welcoming remarks at the Airports Council International CFO Summit hosted by the Regional Economic Information Network of the regional Fed bank at 8 a.m. ET.
Richmond Fed President Thomas Barkin is scheduled to give a radio interview at 9:10 a.m. ET.
Fed Governor Michelle Bowman will make a public appearance at 1 p.m. ET.
The Treasury will auction 20-year bonds at 1 p.m. ET.
The Fed is due to release the minutes of the January rate-setting meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee at 2 p.m. ET. At the meeting, the central bank opted to leave the Fed funds rate unchanged at a 22-year high of 5.25%-5.50% for a fourth straight time. Chair Jerome Powell, however, spooked investors by adopting a hawkish tone in the post-meeting press conference. Traders will likely want to sift through the minutes to gain better clarity on the interest rate outlook.
