<h3>About Vale</h3>
<p>Vale is a large global miner and the world's largest producer of iron ore and pellets. In recent years the company has sold noncore assets such as its fertilizer, coal, and steel operations to concentrate on iron ore, nickel, and copper. Earnings are dominated by the bulk materials division, primarily iron ore and iron ore pellets. The base metals division is much smaller, consisting of nickel mines and smelters along with copper mines producing copper in concentrate. In 2024, Vale sold a minority 10% stake in energy transition metals, its base metals business, likely the first step in separating base metals and iron ore.</p>

Bakkt Holdings Shares Resume Trade Then Again Halted On Circuit Breaker To The Upside, Stock Now Up 86.2%

<p><strong>IonQ Inc.</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IONQ#NYSE">IONQ</a>) shares are trading lower Monday, pulling back after rallying in recent weeks. Here&#8217;s what <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/IONQ/news">you need to know.</a></p>
<p><strong>What To Know:</strong> IonQ shares are up more than 60% since the start of the month, and have more than doubled since the start of the year. The stock opened lower Monday and quickly traded down from around $28.50 to around $22.30 before bouncing and leveling off between $24 and $25 per share.</p>
<p>IonQ shares really took off after the company reported quarterly financials near the start of November. IonQ reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41817317/ionq-stock-is-soaring-thursday-whats-going-on">third-quarter revenue</a> of $12.4 million, beating analyst expectations of $10.56 million. The company posted a loss of 24 cents per share, versus an expected loss of 21 cents per share, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>. </p>
<p>The company&#8217;s quarterly report was accompanied by a series of partnerships and contract announcements, including a $54.5 million contract with the U.S. Air Force Research Lab and the creation of a new quantum application development center in collaboration with AstraZeneca.</p>
<p>Following the report, several analysts raised <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">price targets</a> on IonQ, which helped shares sustain positive momentum throughout the week. The company also announced that it was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/41945075/ionq-stock-is-trading-higher-today-whats-going-on">issued five new U.S. patents</a>, covering advancements in quantum computing across multiple industries and applications.</p>
<p>IonQ shares briefly saw some buyers come into the name in afternoon trading on Monday after the company demonstrated a hybrid quantum computing workflow using the <strong>NVIDIA Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CUDA-Q platform and its quantum hardware.</p>
<p>IonQ and Nvidia presented the application workflow together at SC24. The companies believe the new approaches have potential relevance in many chemistry-focused commercial applications.</p>
<p>&#8220;IonQ is building on its approach of accelerating AI, scientific compute, and other supercomputing workloads with quantum hardware – enabling entirely new ways to approach previously unsolvable problems,&#8221; said <strong>Dean Kassmann</strong>, SVP of Engineering &amp; Technology at IonQ. </p>
<p>&#8220;Today&#8217;s molecular modeling demonstration illustrates why CUDA-Q is a great platform for achieving seamless integration and top-tier performance with our leading quantum hardware.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>IonQ Price Action: </strong>IonQ shares were down 15.4% at $24.66 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro.</a></p>

<p><i>- NKTR-422 demonstrated inflammation resolution and tissue repair in multiple preclinical models of chronic inflammatory conditions -</i></p>
<p>SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Nektar Therapeutics (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKTR#NASDAQ">NKTR</a>) today announced its oral presentation highlighting preclinical data on NKTR-422 at the 2024 American College of Rheumatology (ACR)&nbsp;conference, being held in Washington, D.C. from November 14-19, 2024.</p>
<p>NKTR-422 is a novel modified&nbsp;hematopoietic colony stimulating factor (CSF) protein engineered to selectively modulate resolution processes of inflammation by targeting the expansion, reprograming and activation of anti-inflammatory tissue resident macrophages.</p>
<p>Currently approved inflammatory disease therapies are not designed to achieve inflammation resolution or tissue repair, which are both required for remission.1 Nektar has identified a CSF-1R agonist with a differentiated pharmacokinetic (PK)/pharmacodynamic (PD) profile compared to the native CSF-1 cytokine. Reduced clearance enables sustained PD activity from a single dose, unlike historical multiple dose per day necessary regimens of recombinant human CSF-1 administration. This CSF-1R agonist, NKTR-422, demonstrated inflammation resolution and tissue repair markers induction in tissue resident macrophages without induction of monocytosis and enhanced the efficacy of inflammatory cytokine blockade in rodent models.</p>

Bakkt Holdings Shares Halted On Circuit Breaker To The Upside, Stock Now Up 12.8%

<p><a href="https://www.ft.com/content/d7f921d5-3668-4b6b-a98d-2681ad73610f">https://www.ft.com/content/d7f921d5-3668-4b6b-a98d-2681ad73610f</a><br /><br />Donald Trump's social media company is in advanced talks to buy Bakkt, a cryptocurrency trading venue owned by Intercontinental Exchange, as it pushes to expand beyond online conversation. The US president-elect's Trump Media and Technology Group, in which he has pledged to retain his 53 per cent stake, is closing in on an all-share purchase of Bakkt, said two people with knowledge of the talks. The valuation under discussion was not immediately clear but Bakkt's market capitalisation stood at just over $150mn on Monday. TMTG, which operates Truth Social, has become one of the most actively traded US stocks since Trump's election victory as retail investors try to profit on its often-volatile trading moves. Although it has reported just $2.6mn in revenues this year, TMTG has a $6bn equity valuation, giving its management a valuable currency with which to buy other companies. A successful deal would deepen Trump's move into the cryptocurrency market after he began promoting a new crypto venture set up by longtime business partners, World Liberty Financial, from which he stands to earn significant fees. Crypto markets have also soared following his election victory, with bitcoin up more than 30 per cent on speculation that his administration would enact favourable legislation for the industry. Bakkt, which has struggled for profitability since its launch, was created by ICE, and the owner of the New York Stock Exchange still holds a 55 per cent economic interest in it. Bakkt's first chief executive was Kelly Loeffler, a former head of marketing at ICE and a Republican ex-senator for Georgia during Trump's first presidency. She is co-chair of the committee organising his inauguration in January. She is also married to Jeff Sprecher, ICE's founder, chair and chief executive. ICE and Bakkt declined to comment. TMTG did not immediately respond to a request for comment.</p>
