Defiance Daily Target 2X Long SMCI ETF (NASDAQ: SMCX)

에 대한 최신 뉴스 Defiance Daily Target 2X Long SMCI ETF (NASDAQ:SMCX)

The Fund is an actively managed exchange traded fund (ETF) that attempts to achieve two times (200 percent) the daily percentage change in the share price of the Underlying Security by entering into swap agreements on the Underlying Security. The Fund aims to achieve this daily percentage change for a single day, and not for any other period. A single day means the period from the close of regular trading on one trading day to the close on the next trading day. The Fund will enter into one or more swap agreements with financial institutions for a specified period, which may range from one day to longer than a year. Through each swap agreement, the Fund and the financial institution will agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on the Underlying Securitys share price. The gross return (meaning the return before deducting any fees or expenses) to be exchanged or swapped between the parties is calculated with respect to a notional amount, (meaning the face amount of the instrument) e.g., the return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount representing the Underlying Security. In the event the Fund is unable to achieve sufficient swap exposure, the Fund may not always achieve investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to two times (2x) the daily performance of the Underlying Security, and may return substantially less during such periods.

Williams-Sonoma, HealthEquity And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Wednesday

Former Treasury Secretary Lawrence H. Summers has said that the central bank is facing &#8220;the most difficult challenge&#8221; amid higher prices and fewer jobs. This comes as the Federal Reserve is slated to announce its decision on interest rates by Wednesday afternoon.
What Happened: Larry Summers expects the apex bank&#8217;s monetary policy-setting body, the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee (FOMC), to hold the rates constant on Wednesday in line with market expectations.
CME Group&#8217;s FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool </a>indicates a near-certainty of unchanged interest rates in March at 99%, with expectations shifting to significant rate cuts beginning in July with a 60%+ probability and increasing to nearly 90% in September. 
Holding tariffs responsible for this challenging situation, he said, &#8220;This is what tariffs do.&#8221;
&#8220;If you are the Federal Reserve, you can't figure out if you go to the breaks because of price increases or the accelerator because of lost jobs. So I suspect the Fed won't move interest rates. They will say they need more data and they are watching,&#8221; said Summers in an X thread.
He describes this scenario as a &#8220;stagflationary shock,&#8221; which has put the Fed in a &#8220;hard position&#8221;.

Analysts Expect Jerome Powell To Pivot To A Measured Stance Amid Economic Uncertainty </a>
Why It Matters: With inflation near 2% and growing economic uncertainty, analysts believe Jerome Powell might pivot to a more measured approach.
"The hawkish tone of Fed Chair Jerome Powell may likely change into a more measured one as he has to cite the economic uncertainty — especially tariff uncertainty,&#8221; said Eugenia Mykuliak, the founder and executive director at B2PRIME Group
The &#8220;Trump put&#8221; referring to adjusting President Donald Trump-led administration&#8217;s policies to support markets was off the table, the &#8220;Fed put&#8221; remained on standby. "The Trump Put may be kaput, but the Fed Put remains on standby," said Edward Yardeni, the President of Yardeni Research.
Earlier this month, while speaking at the University of Chicago <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44213521/us-economic-slowdown-talk-of-the-town-says-economist-mohamed-el-erian-as-fed-chair-powell-reaffirms-growth-at-sol">Powell signaled</a> the Fed will maintain current rates amid a strong labor market and near-target inflation, emphasizing no rush to adjust rates.
Price Action: The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, fell on Tuesday. The SPY declined 1.08% to $561.02, and the QQQ also dropped 1.70% to $474.54, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.
On Wednesday, the future of Dow Jones rose by 0.13%, whereas the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100 advanced by 0.19% and 0.26% respectively.

Larry Summers Says Federal Reserve In Hard Position With 'Stagflationary Shock' Ahead Of FOMC Decision: 'This Is What Tariffs Do'

Andrej Karpathy, the former Tesla <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40540066/former-tesla-autopilot-head-and-ex-openai-researcher-says-programming-is-changing-so-fast-that-he-ca">autopilot head</a> and an ex-OpenAI researcher has outlined practical steps to improve digital privacy and security, offering a clear roadmap for anyone looking to better protect their online identity.
What Happened: In a new blog post titled "Digital Hygiene" that was published on Monday, Karpathy shared a detailed guide to improving privacy and cybersecurity in everyday computing.
Here are the highlights:&nbsp;
Passwords, Security Keys, And Biometrics
Karpathy said that the use of a password manager like 1Password generates and stores strong, unique passwords for every service. He urges users to pair this with a hardware security key—his preferred brand is YubiKey—to secure critical accounts with a physical second factor.

Privacy-Focused Tools
He also recommends Signal for secure messaging, Brave for browsing and searching, and NextDNS or Pi-hole to block trackers at the DNS level. Karpathy is critical of &#8220;smart&#8221; IoT devices, calling them a significant privacy risk, and encourages users to avoid them whenever possible.
Financial And Email Safety
To minimize exposure to fraud and data leaks, Karpathy suggests using services like Privacy.com to generate unique virtual credit cards per merchant, and virtual mailboxes instead of real addresses. He also advises caution with email—never clicking links and disabling image loading to avoid being tracked.
&#8220;[Signal] it does not store metadata like many other apps do (e.g. iMessage, WhatsApp). Turn on disappearing messages (e.g. 90 days default is good),&#8221; he stated.

Why It's Important: Karpathy's guide arrives at a time when digital threats—from phishing to data breaches—are escalating in both frequency and sophistication.&nbsp;
According to data from Statista, social media platforms were the primary target of phishing attacks worldwide in the third quarter of 2024, accounting for 30.5% of incidents. Web-based software services and webmail followed closely, making up 21.2% of reported attacks.
Meanwhile, financial institutions were also heavily targeted, representing 13% of phishing attempts during the period.

What Happened: In a Monday research <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/2025/03/17/stilachirat-analysis-from-system-reconnaissance-to-cryptocurrency-theft/">report</a>, Microsoft identified a remote access trojan named StilachiRAT that could evade detection, maintain its presence&nbsp;in the target environment, and&nbsp;extract sensitive data.
The malware targets some of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-crypto-wallets">most popular wallets</a>, such as&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-use-metamask">MetaMask</a>, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/coinbase-vs-coinbase-wallet">Coinbase Wallet</a>, and Binance (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/bnb/usd">BNB</a>)-owned Trust Wallet. 
First identified in November 2024, the trojan is capable of pilfering users&#8217; wallet details and other&nbsp;credentials, including usernames and passwords,&nbsp;stored in their Google Chrome&nbsp;browser, Microsoft added.
Microsoft suggested&nbsp;some mitigation measures, including the recommendation to download any software only from the official website and install antivirus software.
MetaMask acknowledged Microsoft&#8217;s findings and urged users to take necessary precautions.

Why It Matters: This warning from Microsoft comes in the wake of increasing cybersecurity threats in the crypto sector. 
Last month, cryptocurrency exchange Bybit&#8217;s <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43890188/bybit-founder-says-14b-eth-hack-may-stem-from-safe-wallet-compromise">potential compromise of its multi-sig wallet provider Safe</a>, which may have facilitated the theft of $1.4 billion in Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), sent shockwaves across the sector. Bybit founder Zhou stated that the attack specifically targeted Bybit&#8217;s Ethereum cold wallet.

Microsoft Alerts Coinbase, MetaMask Wallet Users Of New Malware Threat

White House-appointed &#8216;Crypto Czar,&#8217; David Sacks, revealed Tuesday he might not have sold his cryptocurrency holdings if not for government ethics rules.
What Happened: Sacks took to X to criticize the media portrayal of his cryptocurrency moves before joining the administration. He wrote, &#8220;Why does the media always&nbsp;want to portray cryptocurrency in&nbsp;the worst light? I did&nbsp;not "dump" my cryptocurrency; I&nbsp;divested it.&#8221;
Sacks, a long-standing cryptocurrency investor, admitted that he would have &#8220;preferred not to&#8221; offload his stash but

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Why does the media always want to portray crypto in the worst light? I did not "dump" my cryptocurrency; I divested it.

According to the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, officials who are personally invested in cryptocurrencies need to divest their holdings before they can work on cryptocurrency-related policies.
Earlier this month, Sacks confirmed that he had liquidated all his cryptocurrency holdings, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, prior to joining the Trump administration. His investment firm, Crypto Ventures, still retains stakes in a few crypto startups, but he no longer has direct exposure to digital assets.

Why It Matters: Sacks&#8217; divestment from cryptocurrencies has been a topic of discussion since his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42356067/venture-capitalist-david-sacks-appointed-as-white-house-ai-crypto-czar-by-trump">appointment</a> as the &#8216;Crypto Czar&#8217; by President Donald Trump in December 2024. 
Earlier this month, Sacks confirmed that he had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44149246/crypto-czar-david-sacks-confirms-selling-all-bitcoin-ethereum-solana-holdings-denies-large-indirect">liquidated all his cryptocurrency holdings</a>, including Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), and Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>), before joining the Trump administration. 
While his investment firm, Crypto Ventures, still retains stakes in a few cryptocurrency startups, Sacks himself doesn&#8217;t have direct exposure to digital assets.
Sacks has been a known Trump loyalist. He, along with well-known venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/06/39239552/trump-declares-himself-crypto-president-after-raising-12m-at-vc-hosted-san-francisco-fundr" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">hosted a fundraiser at his residence</a>, which ended up collecting $12 million for Trump's presidential campaign last year.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">지난주 시장을 움직인 요인</h2>
트럼프 대통령의 무역 관세 보류와 일론 머스크의 정부효율부가 주도한 갑작스러운 지출 삭감으로 인해 투자자들의 불안감이 고조되고 있다. 2월 CPI 는 전년 동월 대비 2.8% 상승하여 컨센서스 2.9%보다 낮았지만, 이렇게 예상보다 완만한 인플레이션 수치에도 시장은 백악관의 정책 조치에 집착하고 있다.
트럼프는 EU가 미국산 위스키에 대한 50%의 관세를 인하하면 유럽산 와인에 200%의 관세를 부과하고 캐나다산 철강과 알루미늄에 대한 관세를 두 배로 올리겠다고 공언하며, 자동차 관세도 위협했다.
지난주 소비자 심리지수가 하락하고 장기 인플레이션 기대치가 1993년 이후 최고치를 기록했다. 경제 불확실성에 따라 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/25/03/44335436/gold-etfs-shine-as-spot-price-tops-3000-during-safe-haven-demand" target="_blank" rel="noopener">금 가격은 온스당 3,000달러를 기록했으며</a> 지난 11주 중 10주 동안 상승했다.
지난 주말에는 정부 셧다운을 피할 수 있다는 확인과 새로운 무역 뉴스의 부재로 시장이 소폭 반등했다. 이번 주 연준 FOMC 회의에서는 금리동결이 예상되지만, 인플레이션이 지속되는 가운데 성장 둔화인 스태그플레이션에 대한 우려가 커지고 있다.
