The White House has ordered a temporary freeze on all federal grants and loans, putting $3 trillion in funding under scrutiny and setting the stage for a legal and political showdown over the congressional power of the purse that could heavily impact a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">wide range of industries.</a>
The directive, issued Monday by the Office of Management and Budget and received by several media outlets, requires all federal agencies to halt disbursements while programs are reviewed for alignment with President Donald Trump's policy priorities.
This includes halting new awards, existing payment and funding for projects until reviewed.
The exact financial impact of the order remains uncertain. Budget experts cited <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2025/01/28/trump-spending-freeze-upends-washington-triggering-legal-threats-delays/">by the Washington Post </a>estimate at least tens of billions of dollars are at stake, though the White House directive suggests the total could be significantly higher.
Of the almost $10 trillion spent by the federal government in fiscal 2024, more than $3 trillion was federal financial assistance, Matthew Vaeth, acting director at the OMB, said in the memorandum.
&#8220;Financial assistance should be dedicated to advancing Administration priorities,&#8221; Vaeth said, adding that &#8220;the use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve.&#8221;
The White House said that Social Security and Medicare remain untouched. The sweeping pause threatens funding for universities, nonprofits, contractors and private companies that depend on federal assistance.
&#8220;Nothing in this memo should be construed to impact Medicare or Social Security benefits,&#8221; the memo said. 
The immediate focus will be on how agencies handle exemptions. The OMB memo allows federal departments to request case-by-case approvals, which means some funding may still flow, but the process is likely to be slow and politically charged.
Federal agencies have until Feb. 10, 2025, to provide OMB with detailed reports outlining which programs, projects, and activities are affected by the funding pause.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Legal, Political Showdown Over Federal Funds </h3>
The move is triggering legal challenges from nonprofits and Democratic-led states.
Within hours of the announcement, lawsuits were filed in federal courts in New York, Illinois and Oregon, arguing that Trump does not have the authority to withhold congressionally approved spending.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer was among the first to push back, saying Congress-approved investments are legally mandated and asserting the president lacks the authority to override the Impoundment Control Act of 1974, which restricts unilateral executive control over federal funds.
Trump has long argued that the 1974 law is unconstitutional, stating that past presidents had far more discretion over spending before its passage.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Which Industries Could Face Trouble?</h3>
Some of the hardest-hit sectors could include clean energy, defense, health care and education, where federal dollars have played a crucial role in driving investment and growth in recent years.
Trump's OMB memo explicitly targeted climate initiatives and green energy programs. Shares of solar and renewable energy companies were among the hardest hit following the federal funding freeze.
The Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>) and the Invesco Wilderhill Clean Energy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PBW#NYSE">PBW</a>) fell by 2% and 1.3%, respectively, on Tuesday. 
Sunnova Energy International Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOVA#NYSE">NOVA</a>) dropped 12%, Sunrun Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUN#NASDAQ">RUN</a>) fell 9.2% and SolarEdge Technologies Inc.

Defense contractors such as Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>), RTX Corp.

While military spending is unlikely to be cut outright, several defense contractors rely on federal grants for research and development. 
The impact on health care remains unclear. While Medicare is shielded, Medicaid funding — which supports hospitals, managed care providers and pharmaceutical companies — could be at risk.

Trump's Federal Spending Freeze Puts $3 Trillion In Limbo, Threatens Industries Like Clean Energy, Defense, Health Care

Trump's first day in office brought a wave of executive orders targeting immigration, energy, social policies, and announcing the withdrawal from global agreements like the Paris Climate Accord and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">the World Health Organization. </a>
Trump also pledged to raise tariffs up to 25% on both Canada and Mexico starting Feb. 1, but fell short of announcing universal tariffs on all imports.
Following Monday&#8217;s market closure for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, investors began assessing how Trump's new policy measures could impact sectors across the board. 
Gold miners and defense stocks outperformed, while solar energy companies were among the hardest hit.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Wall Street&#8217;s Winners And Losers After Trump&#8217;s Day 1</h3>
Gold miners were among the standout performers, amid rising trade fears between the U.S. and Canada. 
The VanEck Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDX#NYSE">GDX</a>) climbed 2.6% by 1:30 p.m. ET Tuesday. Leading gains were Harmony Gold Mining Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HMY#NYSE">HMY</a>), up 4.3% and Endeavour Silver Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXK#NYSE">EXK</a>), up 3.1%.
&#8220;While President Trump's Inauguration Day policy announcements on tariffs were more benign than expected, we continue to expect the White House to increase tariff rates on autos and imports from China, and we see other tariff proposals as a risk,&#8221; Goldman Sach&#8217;s analyst Elsie Peng wrote in a note Tuesday.
Defense stocks also surged as Trump's policies emphasized national security and border protection declaring a &#8220;national emergency&#8221; at the southern border with Mexico. The iShares U.S. Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITA#NYSE">ITA</a>) rose 3.3%.
Other notable movers included the U.S. Global Jets ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JETS#NYSE">JETS</a>), up 2%, and the SPDR S&amp;P Metals &amp; Mining ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XME#NYSE">XME</a>), which rose 1.6% as investors bet on increased demand for industrial materials.
Oil and gas exploration companies saw declines despite <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/43097430/trumps-drill-baby-drill-era-begins-oil-prices-tumble-us-energy-stocks-edge-up">Trump's "Drill, Baby, Drill"</a> push to unleash U.S. energy resources. The SPDR S&amp;P Oil &amp; Gas Exploration &amp; Production ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOP#NYSE">XOP</a>) dropped 1.1%, signaling concerns about potential oversupply.
Clean energy and solar stocks, however, suffered from Trump's decision to halt offshore wind leasing and withdraw the U.S. from the Paris Climate Accord. 
The Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>) fell 3.1%, with losses from Daqo New Energy Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DQ#NYSE">DQ</a>), down 6.7%, and First Solar Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NASDAQ">FSLR</a>), which dropped 5.4%. The Invesco WilderHill Clean Energy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PBW#NYSE">PBW</a>) slipped 1%.

Trump's First Day Sends Gold Miners, Defense Stocks Soaring, Solar Sliding

The World Economic Forum's (WEF) "Global Risks Report" for 2025 paints a sobering picture of the challenges ahead. The survey, released during the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/world-economic-forum#more-news">WEF&#8217;s annual meeting in Davos</a>, Switzerland, highlights the risks of geopolitical tensions, climate change and disinformation. 
These risks call for strategies to safeguard investments while capitalizing on emerging opportunities. Here&#8217;s how some ETFs could help investors sail smoothly through each global challenge mentioned in the survey.
Armed Conflict
According to the WEF report, 23% of respondents named state-based armed conflict as the most pressing risk for 2025. Persistent geopolitical tensions, such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the unrest in the Middle East, have shaken global trust.
In such a dire situation, defense ETFs and global security ETFs can save the day for investors. iShares U.S. Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITA#BATS">ITA</a>) provides exposure to U.S.-based companies in the defense sector, which could benefit from increased government spending on military capabilities. Moreover, an expense ratio of 0.4% makes it a cost-effective option. Also, a beta of 0.97% means it is at slightly lower risk than the broader market during volatility.
In addition, the SPDR S&amp;P Kensho Future Security ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FITE#NYSE">FITE</a>) focuses on innovative companies addressing global security challenges, including cybersecurity and physical defense. A glimpse of its top holdings include Viasat (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VSAT#NASDAQ">VSAT</a>), Lockheed Martin (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>) and F5 Networks (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FFIV#NASDAQ">FFIV</a>). The fund boasts an expense ratio of 0.45%.
Extreme Weather
The climate crisis is intensifying the frequency and severity of weather events such as floods, heatwaves, and tornadoes. With environmental risks dominating the 10-year horizon, resilient investment strategies are the need of the hour.
Clean Energy ETFs are well-positioned to capitalize on this global challenge. Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>) has holdings in solar energy companies like Enphase Energy Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENPH#NYSE">ENPH</a>) and First Solar Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NYSE">FSLR</a>), which are poised to benefit from global decarbonization efforts.

Disinformation and Misinformation
For the second consecutive year, the scourge of misinformation and disinformation has been flagged by WEF as a top risk, leading to societal distrust, markets disruption, and heightened polarization. 
Many tech companies are united in their efforts to curb the spread of misinformation as well as disinformation (there is a very thin line of intentions separating the two terms). However, among those most equipped to fight this menace are cybersecurity companies. Naturally, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42829188/hack-attack-cybercrime-surge-fuels-demand-for-cybersecurity-etfs">ETFs focusing on the cybersecurity sector</a> stand to gain.
First Trust Nasdaq Cybersecurity ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CIBR#NASDAQ">CIBR</a>) focuses on companies addressing cyber threats, which often fan the fire of misinformation. Stocks of companies like Broadcom, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), Crowdstrike Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>) and Cisco Systems (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>), prominent players in the cybersecurity space, are part of this fund&#8217;s holdings. 
Media ETFs like the Communication Services Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLC#NYSE">XLC</a>) can also benefit from media firms, which are increasingly becoming content-conscious. Media firms may benefit from investing in trusted content creation and digital information technologies.
Why ETFs Are Ideal In Turbulent Times
Insights from over 900 global risk experts, policymakers and industry leaders in September and October last year were obtained to compile WEF&#8217;s survey report. Some of the other short-term risks that the WEF's report highlights include societal polarization, cyber espionage, pollution, and inequality.
In these turbulent times, investors seek to hedge their investments instead of holding back from the market. ETFs come into the picture as flexible, cost-efficient and concern-specific instruments that allow investors to diversify their portfolios across sectors and geographies during global uncertainties.
As Carolina Klint of Marsh McLennan Europe told CNBC, "I think we're navigating an era now marked by increasing economic tensions&#8230;And I think we have to recognize the fragmentation is not a theoretical concern. It is something that we need to confront today. So, it has resulted in a more complex and uncertain trading environment." 
Building a resilient portfolio with ETFs aligned to global challenges can help investors power through 2025.

Davos 2025: ETFs To Tackle Geopolitical, Climate, Cyber Risks

While the Cybertruck may have actually made its debut on the U.S. roadways in November 2023, this Tesla electric vehicle&#8217;s debutante year of 2024 was nothing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cybertruck">less than a success</a> among Benzinga readers. 
Sightings of this not-so-demure rare bird<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39894802/tesla-vehicle-goes-up-in-flames-at-charging-station-these-are-not-easy-fires-to-put-out-first-respon"> included the truck in flames</a> — a metaphor for 2024, some might say. 
Shaquille O'Neal, a former NBA superstar who makes multiple appearances on the 2024 list, is among its fans, but the Cybertruck is also intrinsically linked to Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
Despite the ubiquity of Cybertrucks, Musk and Shaq, the No. 1 spot went to Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), which made a stellar <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42501517/whale-accumulation-powers-bitcoins-bull-run-but-retail-still-the-king-in-ownership">comeback in the latter part of 2024</a>, much to the chagrin of one possible Bitcoin holder — and the No. 1 article for 2024.

1. &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41308908/man-who-accidentally-threw-hard-drive-containing-8-000-bitcoins-worth-half-a-billion-dolla">Man Who Accidentally Threw Hard Drive Containing 8,000 Bitcoins Worth Half a Billion Dollars in Landfill</a>,&#8221; by Aniket Verma, published, Oct. 14. (There was a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42232028/remember-james-howells-who-lost-his-hard-drive-with-8000-bitcoins-now-worth-760m-his-ex-girlfriend-reveals-it-was-she-who-threw-it-away">follow-up article on Nov. 28</a> in which the ex-girlfriend admitted to throwing it out.)
If there is a winner of messing up on the world stage, it would have to go to the Bitcoin holder who threw away millions.
In 2013, when Bitcoin traded between $50 and $1,242 per token, an unfortunate man discarded a hard drive containing the private key for 8,000 Bitcoins. Fast forward to Dec. 30, 2024, with Bitcoin priced at $92,562 per token, that lost stash is now worth $740,496,000. While it falls short of landing him on the Forbes Billionaire list, it&#8217;s still more than enough to afford a luxurious penthouse on Park Avenue in New York City or in Dubai.
But lo and behold — spoiler alert — it turns out his ex-girlfriend actually threw the hard drive out, per his request to help him tidy up his house, according to a Daily Mail <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14117759/threw-away-569million-Bitcoin-fortune-council-tip.html">article</a>. Probably not one of the best decisions he's ever made.
2. &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/09/40758484/nba-legend-shaq-shows-off-his-new-widebody-carbon-fiber-tesla-cybertruck-elon-musk-has-a-on">NBA Legend Shaq Shows Off His New Widebody Carbon Fiber Tesla Cybertruck: Elon Musk Has A One Word Reaction</a>,&#8221; by Rounak Jain, published Sept. 7.
Shaq likes cars. He has around 40 vehicles, with a good portion of them customized — it could be that he is 7 feet 1 inches tall or perhaps he just likes to add a personal touch, such as a Superman "S" log on the front of his black Range Rover, according<a href="https://www.gamedaynews.com/athletes/shaqs-massive-vehicle-collection"> to</a> GameDay News. Car aficionado that he is, Shaq of course had to have a Cybertruck. But not just any Cybertruck. Customized by Effortless Motors, the vehicle, dubbed "Cyberbeast," has a wide body kit and carbon fiber construction, as well as 26-inch rims and a black-on-black color scheme. 
Musk weighed in on it on X, saying it was "Nice." Compliment or shade? Only Musk knows for sure. 
3. &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41059891/elon-musk-says-because-almost-none-of-you-do-your-math-sums-the-world-is-largely-not-using-the-big-f">Elon Musk Says That World Isn't Using The Sun's Energy Enough Because Most People Don't Do The Math</a>,&#8221; by Benzinga Neuro,&nbsp;published Sept. 26
Is it even a Benzinga Top 5 Articles of the Year if there isn&#8217;t more than one article featuring Musk? No! (See <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/22/12/30219131/benzingas-top-5-articles-for-2022-aka-the-year-your-grandparents-found-out-who-elon-musk-i">"Benzinga&#8217;s Top 5 Articles For 2022 — AKA The Year Your Grandparents Found Out Who Elon Musk Is" </a>as a sample of the Musk-omnipresence.)
Musk touts solar energy with some interesting facts, such as he "suggested that the amount of solar energy received by Earth could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/02/30973037/elon-musk-says-this-energy-source-can-power-a-civilization-over-100-times-larger-than-ours">power a civilization</a> 100 times larger than ours." 
Solar is an industry that has had a bumpy to bad year: the Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>) is down around 36% year-to-date, for example. 
But let's not forget that Musk's Tesla also makes Powerwall battery storage, which can store energy either solar or from the electrical grid. Solar energy plus Powerwall, equals more money for Tesla. It's all in the math, so to speak.
4.  &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/08/40413674/nba-legend-shaq-missed-his-tesla-cybertruck-so-much-instead-of-shipping-it-from-vegas-to-at">NBA Legend Shaq Missed His Tesla Cybertuck So Much, Instead of Shipping it from Vegas to Atlanta, He Reportedly Ordered One More,&#8221;</a> by Rounak Jain, published Aug. 16
Yes, indeed, Shaq's love for the Cybertruck had him make a decision only a multimillionaire, former NBA player could do: buy another Cybertruck when he didn't want to ship it from one location to another. 
Musk also chimed in X on this, saying "Understandable." Could Shaq be poised to have a Cybertruck in every major U.S. city?
5. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40971831/putin-ally-who-unveiled-tesla-cybertruck-with-machine-gun-last-month-now-says-elon-musk-remotely-dis">Putin Ally Who Unveiled Tesla Cybertruck with Machine Gun Last Month Now Says Elon Musk ‘Remotely Disabled' the Militarized EV</a>, by Bibhu Pattnaik, published Sept. 22
On the flip side of customization, Chechen warlord&nbsp;Ramzan Kadyrov&nbsp;accused Musk of remotely disabling his Cybertruck.&nbsp;
Why, you may ask? This Vladimir Putin ally (and colonel general in the Russian army) Kadyrov decided to mount a machine gun on the Cybertruck, hinting that it would be used in the war against Ukraine.
Kadyrov also stated in a <a href="https://t.me/RKadyrov_95/5103">Telegram</a> post the vehicle was a gift from Musk, saying "Elon Musk behaved badly. He gives expensive gifts from the heart, and then turns them off remotely." 
Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40434114/elon-musk-denies-donating-tesla-cybertruck-to-ramzan-kadyrov-after-russian-general-showed-off-truck">strongly denied he gifted </a>the vehicle to Kadyrov.&nbsp;
There is one practical theory on why the car could have become disabled — a lack of charging stations on the battlefield, something pointed out by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40504595/military-expert-calls-russian-president-allys-tesla-cybertruck-super-cool-but-useless-combat-vehicle">one international relations expert</a>.

Benzinga's Top 5 Stories In 2024: The Year Of The Cybertruck

The Conference of the Parties (COP) 29 summit brought global leaders to Baku, Azerbaijan, for an 11-day session to address climate change, carbon market mechanisms and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/green-energy">climate finance</a>.
Hosted in a country heavily reliant on fossil fuels, the event is a mix of urgency and controversy, particularly after BBC<a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/crmzvdn9e18o"> reported</a> local representatives engaging in oil and gas deals.
Still, the primary focus of its first days is establishing the rules for a global carbon market — a move aimed at helping countries meet emissions targets by trading carbon credits.
This mechanism, intended to fund projects that reduce emissions globally, allows wealthy countries to purchase credits from those with lower emissions, thus offsetting their carbon output.
The stakes are high at COP29, particularly with pressing issues such as funding for climate-vulnerable countries and updating climate targets. The attendees will discuss the succession of the annual $100 billion pledged by developing nations, as the sum may need to be raised significantly to account for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/esg/24/10/41621596/net-zero-by-2050-might-cost-the-world-78-trillion-wood-mackenzie-estimates">increasing impact of climate change</a>. This finance component is critical for maintaining trust between rich and poor nations, especially as commitments still need to be met.
"I'm as frustrated as anyone that one single COP can't deliver the full transformation that every nation needs… [but] it is here that parties need to agree a way out of this mess. That's why here in Baku, we must agree on a new global climate finance goal,"<a href="https://unsdg.un.org/latest/stories/ambitious-new-climate-finance-goal-entirely-self-interest-every-single-nation-un"> said</a> the U.N. climate chief Simon Stiell.
The upcoming inauguration of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump in January 2025 gives participants a dose of doubt. During his previous term, Trump withdrew the U.S. from the Paris Agreement and rolled back numerous environmental regulations.
Analysts anticipate a similar approach, potentially hindering U.S. contributions to global climate finance. Trump's return could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41883635/trump-looks-to-undo-biden-climate-progress-with-burgum-as-energy-czar-report">exacerbate tensions</a>, mainly as he has been vocal about downplaying climate initiatives.
Still, greenlighting the carbon credit quality standards on the first day provides an opportunity for a U.N.-backed global carbon market that would fund critical projects.
Juan Carlos Arredondo Brun, a former climate negotiator for Mexico and now a director at a carbon market data company Abatable, noted this development &#8220;will bring us closer to operationalizing the carbon market before any single party may decide to move away from the Paris Agreement,"<a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/cop29-countries-endorse-global-carbon-market-framework-2024-11-11/"> per</a> Reuter's report.
The carbon market, increasingly popular among corporations seeking to offset their emissions, has some of the largest buyers in the energy and automotive sectors. Shell (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHEL#NYSE">SHEL</a>), Volkswagen (OTCPK: VWAGY), and Takeda (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAK#NYSE">TAK</a>) were the top three companies retiring carbon credits in 2023.
Shell led with 16 million credits, primarily from forestry projects, while Volkswagen retired eight million credits linked to renewable energy and reforestation. Pharmaceutical giant Takeda contributed nearly three million credits to reduce non-CO2 greenhouse gases.
A standardized carbon market could be a lifeline for U.S. companies committed to carbon-emission goals. Notable examples include Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), which is delaying the launch of a next-generation all-electric pickup truck and has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/08/40496864/ford-scraps-electric-suv-as-it-adjusts-to-lower-electric-vehicle-demand">scrapped the development</a> of a new three-row electric SUV. Yet, the management has confirmed it will seek to comply with emissions targets, including purchasing carbon credits as needed.
The COP29 conference will run until Nov. 22. Setting a new annual budget could significantly impact clean energy investments. Investors should watch iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ICLN#NASDAQ">ICLN</a>) and sub-sector ETFs like the Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>) and First Trust Global Wind Energy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FAN#NYSE">FAN</a>).

Urgency, Debate Mark COP29 As Leaders Push For Carbon Market Rules, Worry About Trump

Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENPH#NASDAQ">ENPH</a>) introduced a new DIY permit plan <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/g41876565/enphase-energy-unveils-ai-powered-diy-permitting-feature-for-solargraf-slashing-solar-permit-plan-" rel="noreferrer noopener">feature on its Solargraf platform</a>.
This feature automates the complex permitting process for solar and battery installations using AI and machine learning, reducing permit preparation time by up to 95% for U.S. installers.
The new DIY permit plan feature makes Solargraf a complete end-to-end platform for solar and battery system design, proposals, and permitting. This tool helps installers improve productivity and reduce costs by streamlining workflows and shortening cycle times.
Jayant Somani, senior vice president of the digital business unit at Enphase Energy, said, &#8220;With more than 300 permit plans already generated across more than 50 AHJs, the new DIY permitting feature is proven to streamline the solar permitting process and empower installers to operate more efficiently, delivering exceptional service to homeowners.&#8221;
Ryan Hurlock, co-founder of Magic Sun Solar, added, &#8220;We can now use a single software application to manage the full life cycle of the job beginning with the proposal creation through the system design phase. We are excited to start using this new feature to trim our workflow and give our customers an even more seamless experience, which is unique in the market.&#8221;
Last month, &nbsp;the company reported worse-than-expected financial results for the third quarter, with revenue of&nbsp;$380.9 million missing the&nbsp;estimate of $391.979 million and EPS of 65 cents coming <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41488921/enphase-energy-stock-is-diving-wednesday-whats-going-on" rel="noreferrer noopener">below the estimate of 77 cents</a>.
Also as per a regulatory <a target="_blank" href="https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1463101/000146310124000145/enph-20241107.htm" rel="noreferrer noopener">filing </a>last week, Enphase Energy notified its employees of a restructuring plan on November&nbsp;7, that it will reduce headcount and move certain functions to cost-efficient regions, affecting approximately 17% of its global workforce &#8211; approximately 500 employees and contractors.
In addition, the company will streamline its operations by focusing on contract manufacturing in four existing locations: two in the U.S., one in India, and one in China. It will also cease its contract manufacturing operations in Guadalajara, Mexico.
The company estimates that it will incur approximately $17 million to $20 million in restructuring and asset impairment charges, of which approximately $14 million are expected to be incurred in the fourth quarter of 2024 and approximately $11 million to $12 million will be total cash expenditures.&nbsp;
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>) and First Trust NASDAQ Clean Edge Green Energy Index Fund (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCLN#NASDAQ">QCLN</a>).

Enphase Unveils AI-Powered DIY Solar Permits: Details

With Donald Trump now president-elect and Republicans likely to control Congress, clean energy stocks <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/esg">are taking a beating</a>.
The Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>) dropped over 9% last week, dragging it to levels last seen in July 2020. From its January 2021 peak, the TAN ETF is now down more than 70%. 
Renewables have also been rattled. The Invesco Global Clean Energy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PBD#NYSE">PBD</a>) slid over 5% to hit lows not seen since April 2020.
Sunnova Energy International Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOVA#NYSE">NOVA</a>)&nbsp;saw its stock plummet by 45% last week, marking its worst week since its IPO in July 2019. Similarly, SolarEdge Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEDG#NASDAQ">SEDG</a>)&nbsp;dropped 23%, reaching all-time lows.
First Solar Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NASDAQ">FSLR</a>) has fallen to a valuation of just 10 times forward earnings—its cheapest in over four years.
Is this a buying opportunity at depressed valuations, or is the worst yet to come?
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Trump's Anti-Green Policy Stance</h3>
"We expect rhetoric regarding environmental policy and the sustainability of the [Inflation Reduction Act] to be elevated, which could likely lead to continued volatility in stocks in the Green Capex supply chain, particularly pure-play solar/wind stocks," Goldman Sachs analyst Brian Singer explained in a note Friday.
Expect the incoming Trump administration to prioritize easing tailpipe emission regulations and increase resource development on federal land. 
One of the biggest questions for investors is the future of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which has provided significant tax incentives for solar, wind, and other renewable energy projects. 
While Trump and the GOP have expressed skepticism about green subsidies, Goldman Sachs analysts still indicated the IRA could survive in some form due to its broad economic impact.
Goldman Sachs' Singer highlighted that &#8220;the job creation, reshoring, and/or environmental benefits of IRA tax incentives could limit policymakers&#8217; interest in making material incentive revisions.&#8221; Despite Republican opposition, the IRA's solar and wind tax credits have been economically beneficial across various regions, creating a sticking point for politicians wary of hurting local economies.
Potential scenarios for the IRA under Trump include:
<ol>
<li>Full Repeal: This would be the most drastic outcome, likely causing significant disruption in the green energy sector.</li>
<li>Reversion to Pre-IRA Incentives: In this scenario, incentives would roll back to pre-IRA levels, which could still allow some projects to proceed, albeit at a higher cost.</li>
<li>Early Termination: A more moderate approach, setting an earlier end date for current incentives.</li>
</ol>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Green Energy vs. Energy Alternatives: A Cost Battle</h3>
Goldman Sachs&#8217; analysis suggests that even without IRA support, solar and wind power could remain cost-competitive with natural gas, though with a slight &#8220;Green Premium.&#8221; 
This means the green sector may stay resilient, but some renewable firms could see a dip in earnings as they adjust to potential shifts in federal support.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Bright Spot: Big Tech And Rising Power Demand</h3>
Global data center power demand is expected to skyrocket by 165% by 2030. 
Tech giants like Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) and Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) have expressed support for low-carbon energy solutions, a trend that may buffer the renewable sector against policy headwinds.
Goldman's utilities team projects a 2.4% CAGR in U.S. power demand through 2030, the highest growth rate since the 1990s.
Despite potential policy turbulence, there's a shift underway in the world of ESG investing. &#8220;We have observed a back-to-basics move in the direction of pragmatism,&#8221; says Goldman Sachs, noting that investors are increasingly focused on "materiality-driven links to fundamentals and performance." 
This approach could make sustainable investing less vulnerable to political shifts. Asset managers may seek clearer connections between ESG factors and financial returns.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Should You Buy the Dip in Solar Stocks?</h3>
For investors, the question is whether solar stocks are oversold or if more pain lies ahead.
Companies like First Solar are trading at four-year low valuations and almost single-digit price-to-earnings. Some traders might see an opportunity for long-term gains.
The decision boils down to one's risk tolerance and belief in the resilience of the green energy theme.
Buy now, and you might secure a piece of a sector that's critical to the future. Wait, and you may miss out on a potential recovery rally—assuming Trump's policies don't squeeze renewables into oblivion.
Yet, one thing seems assured: The path forward for this sector will likely be volatile under the new administration.

SolarEdge's Tough Q3: Revenue Miss, $1 Billion Impairment Charge, Bleak Forecast & More (UPDATED)

An &#8220;everything rally&#8221; powered Wall Street on Wednesday after the 2024 election results, with Donald Trump emerging as the clear presidential winner. The Republican Party reclaimed control of the Senate, while the House of Representatives leans Republican <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41778433/s-p-500-dow-hit-record-highs-after-trump-win-fear-index-drops-20">but remains undecided.</a>
The major U.S. equity indices – the S&amp;P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq 100 – surged to record highs in early trading, as investor optimism grew on expectations of more favorable tax policies. 
The S&amp;P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow posted gains of 2.3%, 2.4%, and 3.3%, respectively.
However, the real standouts were small caps and bank stocks, with investors turning to domestic businesses and U.S. banks in anticipation of potential tariff protections and further financial deregulation. 
The Russell 2000 jumped 5.5%, marking its largest single-day increase in two years. 
Large-cap bank stocks climbed 6%, while regional banks tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P Regional Banking ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRE#NYSE">KRE</a>) soared 13%—both seeing their biggest one-day gains since November 2020, when the first COVID-19 vaccine was announced.
Clean energy stocks were among the day's worst performers, with the Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>) plunging 11% for its steepest drop since March 2020, as investors braced for potential rollbacks on green initiatives under the Trump administration.
In the foreign exchange market, the U.S. dollar initially rallied nearly 2% before paring gains to 1.4% as traders awaited a Federal Reserve interest rate cut on Thursday.
Treasury yields spiked as expectations rose for larger budget deficits under Republican fiscal policies and higher inflation due to potential tariffs. The 10-year Treasury yield climbed 14 basis points to 4.41%, reaching a four-month high.
Gold prices fell 2.8%, silver dropped over 4%, while natural gas rose 3.8%. Oil prices remained steady.
In the cryptocurrency market, risk appetite thrived, with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) rising over 8% to reach a record high of $75,000. Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) gained 10%, and Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) surged 14%, the strongest performance among the top 10 cryptocurrencies.

Trump's Win Sends Indices To Record Highs; Financials, Small Caps Surge, Bitcoin Tops $75,000: What's Driving Markets Wednesday?

With Donald Trump clinching a second term in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, markets are turning their attention to his potential impact on <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">the economy and markets. </a>
While past performance doesn't guarantee future results, it can still provide valuable insights for investors looking for clues about what to expect from the new administration.
Here's a detailed look at how the 11 S&amp;P 500 sectors fared during Trump's first term.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">S&amp;P 500 Sector Performance During Trump's First Term (November 2016- November 2020)</h1>
Although Trump wasn't sworn in as president until January 2017, financial markets began reacting to his potential policies immediately after his election.
Trump's first term, which spanned from Nov. 8, 2016 — the day he won against Hillary Clinton — to Nov. 3, 2020 – when he lost versus Joe Biden — brought varied performances across S&amp;P 500 sectors.
Technology and consumer discretionary sectors led the rally, while energy was the clear laggard, with the only negative return among sectors over those four years.
Tech stocks were buoyed by the spectacular rise of Magnificent Seven giants. An equally weighted basket of Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) and Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) delivered a remarkable 380% return from November 2016 to November 2020. That return is nearly double the performance of the Magnificent Seven during Biden&#8217;s term.

Regarding the energy sector's poor performance, that wasn't solely a result of the COVID-19 pandemic-driven oil price collapse.
Despite Trump's pro-fossil-fuel policies, energy stocks faced persistent headwinds throughout his term, even before 2020, with the global shift toward renewables putting continuous pressure on traditional oil and gas investments. 
Surprisingly to many, solar stocks — tracked by the Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>) — were among the top-performing industries during Trump's first presidency, soaring by an impressive 267% between November 2016 and November 2020.
Below is a table and chart showing the performance of S&amp;P 500 sectors under Trump&#8217;s first term.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Financials Were Early Winners In Trump's First Term</h1>
In the first three months following Trump's 2016 election, financials stocks saw significant gains. 
The Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLF) rose by 17.2% between Nov. 8, 2016, and Jan. 10, 2017, outpacing all other sectors. The rally was driven by anticipation of deregulation and tax cuts, which boosted investor confidence in banks and other financial stocks.
Conversely, consumer staples and utilities — traditionally defensive sectors — were the weakest performers in that initial period, with losses of 2.39% and 2.3%, respectively.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reaction To Trump's 2024 Victory: Financials And Industrials Lead Again</h1>
On November 6, 2024, the day after Trump's re-election was confirmed, market activity showed a familiar pattern with financials and industrials posting the strongest gains. 
Financials climbed by 5.6%, followed by energy and industrial, each more than 3.5%, suggesting renewed optimism for deregulation and potential infrastructure investment as investors previously had in the first three months following his election in 2016.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">What Could Be Similar — And What Might Change — in Trump's Second Term?</h1>
Trump's return to the White House could bring back some familiar market dynamics, but the economic and geopolitical landscape in 2024 is notably different from 2016. 
Investors should be prepared for a mix of potential tailwinds and headwinds that may shape sector performance in unique ways.
Trump's expected emphasis on tax cuts, deregulation and support for traditional energy sources could once again boost sectors like financials, industrials and consumer discretionary. Financial stocks, in particular, might benefit from any renewed push to ease regulatory restrictions, while industrials could get a lift from a possible infrastructure spending package.
As in his first term, Trump's focus on "America First" policies could support domestic manufacturing and sectors tied to infrastructure, including industrials and materials.
Trump's pro-fossil-fuel stance could give the energy sector some breathing room. Traditional energy companies may benefit if there's a shift in focus back toward oil and gas, though this will depend on global energy market dynamics.
Global trade dynamics have shifted significantly since Trump's first term, with ongoing tensions between the U.S. and China.
If Trump reintroduces tariffs on Chinese imports, it could impact tech and industrials sectors, which rely on international supply chains and components.
Last but not least, even if Trump policies seem to prioritize fossil fuels, the private sector&#8217;s commitment to renewables could still drive growth in solar and clean energy stocks.

How Did S&P 500 Stock Sectors Perform During Trump's First Term? Could This Time Be Different?

Investors are zeroing in on what <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics">potential political outcomes</a> in the U.S. elections Tuesday could mean for the markets.
WisdomTree's Global CIO, Jeremy Schwartz and Senior Economist Jeremy Siegel have shared insights on how a Republican or Democratic win could shape sectors across both the equity and bond markets.
Here's what WisdomTree sees on the horizon.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bond Market Volatility: How Policy Could Shape Yields</h2>
Siegel said bond markets are primed for volatility, with each election outcome pointing to different scenarios for interest rates and yields. A Republican sweep, accompanied by tax cuts and heightened fiscal spending, could push bond yields upward by 20 basis points or more, he said. In this scenario, investors might brace for inflationary pressures and potentially tighter monetary policy, which would counterbalance any short-term equity gains.
On the flip side, a Democratic sweep is seen as a stabilizing force for bonds, with expectations for moderated spending and pro-growth fiscal restraint. 
WisdomTree's Kevin Flanagan, head of fixed income strategy, notes that Democratic policies might offer a predictable, low-volatility environment that helps maintain steady rates and tempers inflation concerns.
A divided government could yield the "best case" for bonds, creating stability through gridlock that limits sweeping fiscal changes and curbs deficit growth.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Equity Market Winners: Mag 7 In Focus Under GOP, Infrastructure &amp; Clean Energy For Democrats</h2>
For equity markets, each scenario presents distinct opportunities, particularly in the growth-oriented and infrastructure sectors. Under a Republican administration, WisdomTree expects an initial boost in stocks like the Magnificent Seven: (Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/meta#NASDAQ">META</a>), Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>), Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>). 
The Magnificent Seven stocks could be driven by extended tax cuts, reduced regulation, and potential capital gains exemptions.
The Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAGS#NASDAQ">MAGS</a>) provides exposure to the Magnificent Seven stocks along with other popular tech-heavy ETFs such as the Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), the Vanguard Information Technology ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VGT#NYSE">VGT</a>) and the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLK#NYSE">XLK</a>).
This favorable backdrop for the tech-heavy sector could stimulate momentum, although Siegel cautions that rising yields might cap equity gains by pressuring valuations.
In contrast, a Democratic sweep would likely favor sectors tied to clean energy and infrastructure. With a focus on the Inflation Reduction Act, the Democratic agenda is expected to channel substantial support into solar, hydrogen and renewable energy projects. The Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>) provides exposure to solar stocks.

This shift would likely benefit clean energy stocks while weighing on small-cap stocks with high U.S. revenue exposure, as they would face the most significant earnings impact from higher corporate tax rates. 
Investors in clean energy ETFs such as the iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ICLN#NYSE">ICLN</a>) and First Trust Nasdaq Clean Edge Smart GRID Infrastructure Index (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GRID#NYSE">GRID</a>) and those invested in small-cap stocks via ETFs such as the iShares Core S&amp;P Small-Cap ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IJR#NYSE">IJR</a>) or the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>) should be wary of their holdings.
According to Wisdom Tree, Democratic leadership could also benefit international markets, as the reduced likelihood of higher tariffs might ease trade concerns and foster demand.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Navigating The Election Landscape</h2>
Beyond direct impacts on stocks and bonds, WisdomTree suggests that a blend of strategies, such as private credit, inflation hedges like gold, and international exposure with currency hedging, may help investors manage market uncertainty.
Trade policies, inflation, and the Federal Reserve's trajectory are all likely to play roles in shaping post-election strategies, underscoring the value of a diversified approach.
As the U.S. awaits the election results, WisdomTree's analysis highlights a divided outlook for investors. Whether the election ushers in policies that lift the Magnificent Seven stocks or bolsters the bond market, each scenario brings unique opportunities and risks to watch in the weeks ahead.

Republican Win Likely To Lift Magnificent 7 Stocks, Democratic Sweep 'Better For Bonds,' Says WisdomTree

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.

Wall Street Struggles Ahead Of Election Day, Energy Sector Outperforms, Solar Stocks Rise: What's Driving Markets Monday?

Todd Gordon joined <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premarket-prep">Benzinga&#8217;s PreMarket Prep </a>on Monday morning to discuss the possible aftermath of Tuesday&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">U.S. presidential election</a> between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.
Main Takeaways: Gordon foresees a possible sell-off in the immediate aftermath of Tuesday&#8217;s election, citing technical factors.
&#8220;I think regardless, the way the market&#8217;s acting, the odds are some kind of pullback, either relief—just profit taking into whatever political combination unfolds—or if there&#8217;s uncertainty and we don&#8217;t have a president&#8230; I think there&#8217;s potentially a sell-off coming,&#8221; Gordon said.
Still, Gordon sees a long-term upside in the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>).
&#8220;Longer-term, I am very bullish on this market. I like where earnings are, I like where rates are, I like where the yield curve is, we&#8217;ve just got to get through this insane political environment.&#8221;
Gordon anticipates that a Trump win could lead to a hawkish Federal Reserve decision on Thursday.
&#8220;Let&#8217;s say Trump comes in, he&#8217;s viewed to be pretty inflationary because he&#8217;s a protectionist, he wants onshoring&#8230; maybe the Fed can&#8217;t be as dovish as they want to be.&#8221;

Markets Move Monday: Markets reacted on Monday morning to encouraging polling for Harris over the weekend. 
Pollster Ann Selzer&#8216;s Iowa poll showed Harris <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41702887/harris-takes-lead-in-red-state-iowa-in-shock-poll" target="_blank" rel="noopener">taking a shock lead</a> in the Hawkeye state. Selzer&#8217;s polls have been an uncanny predictor of electoral success since 2008. The final New York Times-Siena <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/03/us/politics/harris-trump-times-siena-poll.html">poll</a> released Sunday also showed positive signs for Harris. The two polls are among the highest <a href="https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/pollster-ratings/">rated</a> on 538.
Prediction markets moved accordingly—Harris gained 10% back on Trump on Polymarket and also pulled closer on Kalshi.
The solar-focused Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>) jumped over 4% midday on Monday. Shares of First Solar Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NASDAQ">FSLR</a>) traded up over 6% at the time of writing.

Trump, Harris And The Market: Expert Braces For Post-Election Sell-Off, Stays Long-Term Bullish On S&P 500

Solar energy companies have been among the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/esg/24/10/41450681/enphase-energy-solar-stock-stuck-in-the-dark-hopes-earnings-spark-a-turnaround">market&#8217;s biggest underperformers</a> in recent weeks but traded well in the green on Friday. Have solar&#8217;s woes hit an inflection point?
Solar&#8217;s Performance: Investors have been bearish on solar energy in 2024. The solar-tracking Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>) is down over 25% year to date; solar&#8217;s performance in the past month ranks last in the technology industry.
The largest components have fared poorly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ENPH/earnings">following lackluster earnings</a>. Rising material costs and political uncertainty aren&#8217;t helping, either.
Enphase Energy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENPH#NASDAQ">ENPH</a>) shed over 30% of its market cap from Sept. 24 to Thursday. Canadian Solar Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSIQ#NASDAQ">CSIQ</a>) is down over 18% while shares of First Solar Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NASDAQ">FSLR</a>) dropped nearly 20% in that timeframe.
Array Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARRY#NASDAQ">ARRY</a>) has performed, comparatively, even in the past month, though is down over 61% in 2024.
What Happened Friday: Solar stocks were among the market&#8217;s top performers on Friday, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-10-25/china-solar-stocks-jump-on-optimism-oversupply-will-be-addressed">reported</a> on Friday morning that China could address oversupply concerns by curbing industry production. A new policy could speed up the retirement of less-efficient polysilicon plants; polysilicon is a key component in the solar supply chain.
The market quickly reacted:
<ul>
<li>Shares of Canadian Solar closed the day up 9.83%.</li>
<li>Shares of Enphase Energy closed the day up 3.37%.</li>
<li>Shares of Array Technologies closed the day up 4.38%.</li>
<li>Shares of First Solar closed the day up 1.24%.</li>
</ul>
What&#8217;s Next?: An obvious catalyst (or hindrance) for investors looking to invest in the solar energy industry is the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-presidential-election">2024 United States presidential election</a> between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. 
Harris, the Democratic nominee, has supported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/esg/24/07/39888337/what-a-kamala-harris-presidency-could-mean-for-oil-stocks-chevron-marathon-move-lower">reducing greenhouse gas emissions</a> through the adoption of green energy. Trump, the Republican nominee, has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39846094/exclusive-would-a-trump-victory-help-or-hurt-solar-stocks-benzinga-poll-shows-investors-divided">previously falsely claimed</a> that climate change is a hoax. A Trump presidency <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41213583/what-a-trump-win-could-mean-for-financial-energy-stocks-lessons-from-2016">would likely benefit</a> mining, oil and gas companies and present an obvious headwind for solar.
Perhaps much of solar&#8217;s underperformance in recent weeks can be chalked up to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41455938/donald-trumps-election-odds-surge-to-64-on-polymarket-60-on-kalshi-and-favorite-in-all-swi">growing market confidence</a> that Trump will prevail come November.

Solar Energy Surges: Could Friday's Price Action Mark A Reversal For Solar's Underperformance?

Solar energy industry experts say the development of tandem panels could increase the efficiency of solar power.
What Happened: Tandem solar panels, which stack two solar materials on top of each other to capture more of the sun&#8217;s energy, achieved a record-breaking 33.89% efficiency. 
This is a significant leap from the 20-22% efficiency of commercially available solar panels, <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/tandem-solar-panel-cells-efficiency-energy/">reported</a> Wired, citing a study published in Nature.
The tandem solar cells, developed by a team of researchers at the energy giant LONGi, combine silicon and perovskite materials. This innovation allows the cells to capture an additional 60% of solar energy. It also reduced the number of panels required to produce the same energy. It also cuts installation costs and land requirements for solar farms.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41059891/elon-musk-says-because-almost-none-of-you-do-your-math-sums-the-world-is-largely-not-using-the-big-f?itm_source=parsely-api" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Elon Musk Says The World Isn&#8217;t Using The Sun&#8217;s Energy Enough Because Most People Don&#8217;t Do The Math</a>
While the current efficiency of silicon solar cells is limited to about 29%, perovskite materials, discovered less than two decades ago, have emerged as the ideal complement to silicon technology. Their light absorption tunability allows them to capture high-energy blue light more efficiently than silicon, thereby increasing the total tandem efficiency.
Why It Matters: The recent breakthrough in tandem solar panels could have far-reaching implications for the solar energy industry. The increased efficiency of these panels could significantly reduce the number of panels required for solar farms and cut installation costs and land requirements. The development of tandem solar panels comes at a time when solar power is gaining significant traction. Solar companies, like Sunrun Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUN#NASDAQ">RUN</a>) and Enphase Energy (NADSAQ:ENPH), could benefit in the long run if technological advancements make residential solar more attractive. The Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>), an ETF that tracks the solar space, traded down more than 2% Tuesday as the overall market declined amid geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

Double The Power, Half The Panels: Scientists Tout Tandem Solar Cells For Capturing Record Energy

Elon Musk is at it again, igniting the solar conversation with a tweet Tuesday.
&#8220;Solar power is growing super fast,&#8221; Musk said on his X platform. &#8220;In the very long-term (Kardashev Scale), solar will be &gt;99% of all power generation.&#8221;

His words couldn't come at a better time for the sector. According to a Reuters <a href="https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/sustainable-finance-reporting/us-unveil-first-two-decisions-more-solar-tariffs-2024-09-30/">report,</a> U.S. trade officials are set to announce potential tariffs on solar panels from four Southeast Asian countries, which could reshape the landscape for solar stocks.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Tariff Decisions Loom Over Solar Manufacturers</h1>
This week, the U.S. Department of Commerce will decide on trade cases brought by U.S. manufacturers, including Hanwha Qcells and First Solar Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NASDAQ">FSLR</a>), aiming to counteract what they call unfair subsidies from competitors in Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia.
The stakes are high: tariffs could either protect American jobs or inflate costs for solar developers already facing a challenging market.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Optimism In U.S. Solar Sector</h1>
Despite the tariff uncertainty, optimism is brewing among investors in the U.S. solar sector. Companies such as Enphase Energy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENPH#NASDAQ">ENPH</a>) and SolarEdge Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEDG#NASDAQ">SEDG</a>) are eyeing double-digit growth in the solar market by 2025.
Recent insights from JPMorgan analyst Mark Strouse highlight a wave of positivity following the RE+ renewables industry conference, suggesting a resurgence in U.S. solar demand, driven by lower interest rates and stable utility pricing.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Tax Incentives Benefit Enphase, SolarEdge</h1>
Enphase and SolarEdge aren't just riding the wave; they're positioned to benefit significantly from tax incentives, including a 36% domestic content ITC adder that could bolster their profit margins. 
As the U.S. focuses on expanding domestic solar manufacturing, these companies are well-poised to capitalize on the growing appetite for clean energy solutions.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Investors Keep A Close Eye On U.S. Solar Stocks</h1>
Meanwhile, the situation across the pond is less rosy. Europe is grappling with dwindling demand, particularly in the Netherlands, where policy uncertainty has caused a staggering 70%-80% drop year-over-year.
This divergence highlights the U.S. solar market as a beacon of hope amid global challenges.
With Musk&#8217;s bold vision for solar power resonating in the investment community, now is the time to keep a close eye on solar stocks like Enphase, SolarEdge and First Solar and solar stocks-tracking ETFs such as the Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>).
Will tariffs bolster American manufacturing or inflate project costs? 
One thing's for sure: the solar energy landscape is heating up, and investors need to stay tuned!

Elon Musk's Solar Vision Sparks Excitement: What's Next For Enphase, SolarEdge, First Solar?

The volatility that dominated markets in the early part of the month sharply reversed in the past week, driven by growing expectations of interest rate cuts that have bolstered investor risk appetite.
The latest batch of inflation statistics for August have given the green light for the Federal Reserve to proceed with an interest rate cut, which is highly likely to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/09/40812986/inflation-slows-to-2-5-in-august-lowest-rate-since-february-2021-core-index-remai">occur on Sept. 18.</a>
The remaining question concerns the size of the cut — whether it will be 25 basis points or 50 basis points — though market consensus and recent comments from Fed officials suggest the more conservative 25 basis points is the likely scenario.
Risk assets experienced a significant rebound, with the S&amp;P 500, as tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), recovering losses from the prior week and notching five straight days of gains. A similar picture emerged for the Nasdaq 100, which marked the best week since October 2023.
Treasury yields fell substantially and the dollar weakened, driving the price of gold to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40833654/gold-reaches-record-high-as-dollar-weakens-on-soft-producer-inflation-data-wall-street-eyes-four">fresh all-time highs.</a>
Additionally, the week saw the first televised debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, with polls indicating Harris outperformed, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40808499/trump-vs-harris-debates-results-are-in-flash-poll-shows-resounding-majority-pick-vice-president-as-w">further widening her lead.</a>

Rate-Cut Prospects Fuel Investor Risk Appetite, Gold Hits Record Highs, Harris Outperforms Trump: This Week In The Markets

Wall Street witnessed a broad sell-off on Wednesday, except for the tech sector, as investor optimism over disinflation progress cooled following a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/09/40812986/inflation-slows-to-2-5-in-august-lowest-rate-since-february-2021-core-index-remai">mixed August inflation report.</a>
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 2.5% year-over-year, slightly below the 2.6% estimate and down from July&#8217;s 2.9%, marking the slowest pace of inflation since February 2021. The bulk of this decline came from energy-related categories.
However, core inflation — excluding the more volatile components like food and energy — rose 0.3% month-over-month, surpassing expectations of 0.2%. The annual core CPI remained at 3.2%, reflecting persistent inflation in service-related sectors.
A key driver of inflation continues to be shelter costs, which rose 0.5% from the previous month—the sharpest increase since January — and account for nearly a third of the total CPI.
The report dashed hopes for a Federal Reserve rate cut in the upcoming meeting. Market expectations for a 50-basis-point cut plummeted to just 13%, down from 34% the day before, as per CME FedWatch. 
The inflation data gave the U.S. dollar a lift and nudged Treasury yields higher across the board. Sectors most sensitive to interest rates, such as real estate, materials and financials, led the sell-off.
In contrast, tech stocks defied the broader market slump, driven by strong gains in the semiconductor space. 
Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) surged 4.5%, buoyed by the market's reaction to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40817347/donald-trump-lost-debate-to-kamala-harris-will-lose-ground-in-the-polls-polymarket-traders">latest U.S. presidential debate</a> between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. 
The two candidates engaged in a back-and-forth about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/09/40731719/goldman-sachs-kamala-harris-victory-bodes-well-for-us-economy-trump-tariffs-will-drive-up-inflat">tariffs on goods</a>, which would impact inflation and the chipmaking industry.

What's Going On With First Solar Stock?

Solar stocks rallied Wednesday, rebounding from recent four-year lows, following Vice President Kamala Harris&#8216;s strong showing against former President Donald Trump at their highly anticipated presidential <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40813068/a-flash-poll-shows-kamala-harris-as-the-clear-winner-of-the-debate-against-donald-trump-bu">debate on ABC. </a>
Investors appeared buoyed by Harris's performance during the debate, which signaled potential stability for clean energy policies under a future administration, sparking renewed interest in the solar sector.
The Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>), a benchmark for the solar industry, surged by 3.7% by 11:05 a.m. ET, even as broader market sentiment remained bearish following a concerning August inflation report.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Harris&#8217;s Debate Performance Boosts Clean Energy Optimism</h3>
In a CNN/SSRS poll of 600 registered voters who tuned into the debate, 63% said Harris outperformed Trump, while 37% favored the former president. Prior to the debate, the same group of voters had been evenly split on their expectations of who would deliver a stronger performance.
Coco Zhang, an ESG research analyst at ING Group, noted that Harris is &#8220;likely to preserve the Biden administration's most important climate legacy, emphasizing a more efficient implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).&#8221;
Harris has long been a vocal advocate for clean energy. During a 2023 speech at Coppin State University, she reiterated her administration's long-term goals: &#8220;We set an ambitious goal to cut our greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030 and to reach net-zero emissions by 2050,&#8221; she said.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Harris&#8217;s Climate Legacy</h3>
Zhang emphasized that Harris&#8217;s campaign proposals in 2020 included an aggressive $10 trillion investment in decarbonizing the U.S. economy, the establishment of a carbon tax, and a ban on fracking. &#8220;We expect her to propose expanded clean energy spending, with a greater focus on environmental justice and affordable energy,&#8221; said Zhang.
Furthermore, a Harris-led administration would likely enforce stricter regulations on vehicles, oil, and gas industries, aligning with her vision to advance U.S. climate leadership on the global stage, particularly through continued participation in key climate summits like the United Nations Conference of the Parties.
