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.

Veracyte Plans To Present Multiple Abstracts At EAU25 Demonstrating Clinical Performance And Utility Of Its Decipher Tests In Prostate And Bladder Cancer

The Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged at 4.25%-4.50% on Wednesday, with Chairman Jerome Powell reviving the term &#8220;transitory&#8221; to describe the potential inflationary <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">effects of new tariffs.</a>
While the Fed still projects two rate cuts in 2025 in its latest dot plot, projections now reflect lower growth and higher inflation, fueling renewed concerns about stagflation.
Economists are increasingly skeptical of the Fed's confidence in inflation easing, with some warning of policy missteps and rising recession risks.
Here's a summary of key reactions from leading economists.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">‘Transitory' Is Back: A Risky Assumption</h3>
Allianz chief economic adviser Mohamed El-Erian criticized Powell's use of &#8220;transitory&#8221; to describe tariff-driven inflation, recalling the Fed's 2022 mistake when it downplayed persistent price pressures.
&#8220;It's simply too early to say with any degree of confidence that the inflationary effects will be transitory,&#8221; El-Erian said, adding that businesses and households &#8220;still have fresh in their minds the recent history of high unanticipated inflation.&#8221;
Given the uncertainties, he expected Fed officials to show &#8220;greater humility.&#8221;
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">The word — "transitory" — is back at the Federal Reserve as Chair Powell characterizes the price effects of tariffs as a one-off. I would have thought that, particularly after the big policy mistake of earlier this decade and given all the current uncertainties, some Fed…

</figure>
The Kobeissi Letter ridiculed Powell's response to stagflation concerns, recalling a past press conference where he dismissed the risk, saying he wasn't seeing the &#8220;stag&#8221; or the &#8220;flation.&#8221; Yet, that stance now appears contradictory, as the Fed's latest projections show slower GDP growth alongside rising inflation and unemployment.
&#8220;We are now seeing the &#8216;stag&#8217; and the &#8216;flation&#8217;.&#8221;

</figure>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Mixed Signals On Inflation And Growth</h3>
Jeffrey Roach, chief economist at LPL Financial, said the Fed&#8217;s decision was unsurprising, as policymakers are &#8220;in the midst of policy fog&#8221; while awaiting the impact of upcoming tariffs. 
He highlighted that despite upside risks in recent inflation data, core inflation should decelerate by summer, allowing the Fed to begin cutting rates in June.
Steve Wyett, chief investment strategist at BOK Financial, stressed the uncertainty arising from the Fed&#8217;s forecasts.
&#8220;The Fed remains as confused as the rest of us as to what the impact of policy changes will be,&#8221; he said. 
Charlie Ripley, senior investment strategist at Allianz Investment Management, highlighted the Fed's struggle to balance growth and inflation expectations.
&#8220;Growth appeared to be downgraded more than the uptick of inflation expectations, yet the pace of expected rate cuts remained the same,&#8221; he said, pointing to continued uncertainty around inflation. Yet, the Fed's decision to slow the run-off of its balance sheet in April provided &#8220;some consolation&#8221; for investors.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Recession Warnings Grow Louder</h3>
David Rosenberg, president of Rosenberg Research &amp; Associates Inc., indicates the Fed's updated unemployment forecast is a strong recession indicator. He noted that the Fed now sees unemployment rising to 4.4% by year-end, which historically signals an economic downturn.
&#8220;Back to 1948, that has never happened without an NBER-defined recession,&#8221; Rosenberg said, referring to the National Bureau of Economic Research, which officially declares U.S. recessions. 
He warned that if past trends hold, a recession could materialize as early as July, well before the Fed takes any significant action.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Is Powell Too Dovish?</h3>
Spencer Hakimian, founder of Tolou Capital Management, described Powell as &#8220;very dovish,&#8221; suggesting the Fed is either underestimating inflation risks or &#8220;hoping for a miracle.&#8221;
&#8220;They see higher inflation. But they&#8217;re projecting two more rate cuts,&#8221; he said, calling the approach a &#8220;heads I win, tails you lose&#8221; scenario. Despite his concerns, Hakimian remains bullish on risk assets, advising investors to stay &#8220;long a good amount of risk,&#8221; with 40-50% exposure.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reaction</h3>
Despite concerns from economists, Powell's remarks fueled a risk-on rally. 
The S&amp;P 500 index – 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>) – closed 1.1% higher on Wednesday, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 jumped 1.4%. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) surged past $85,000, and gold extended record highs, rising 0.5% to $3,050 per ounce.

Economists React To Powell: 'We Are Now Seeing The Stag And The Flation'

Shopify Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NYSE">SHOP</a>) shares traded higher on Wednesday driven by overall market strength following the Federal Reserve&#8217;s decision to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44403637/fed-holds-rates-while-growth-forecasts-slip-inflation-projections-rise">hold interest rates steady</a>.
What To Know: The Fed opted to hold the federal funds rate at a range of 4.25% to 4.50% at its Wednesday meeting, suggesting that the economy remains healthy enough to leave rates unchanged. 
The central bank's March statement highlighted that the economy continues to grow at a strong pace and the labor market remains solid, but inflation pressures are still present. The Fed also acknowledged increased uncertainty around the economic outlook, but took a less hawkish stance overall, which appears to have boosted broader markets.
The Fed&#8217;s latest economic projections were also a key factor contributing to market movement. GDP growth forecasts for 2025 were revised downward to 1.7%, from an earlier projection of 2.1%. 
At the same time, inflation expectations were raised. The core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, was adjusted up to 2.7% for 2025, from the previous forecast of 2.5%. This shift in projections pointed to rising concerns about stagflation, which occurs when the economy experiences slow growth combined with high inflation.
Despite the inflation concerns, the Fed's outlook also included expectations for two interest rate cuts in both 2025 and 2026. Fed Chair Jerome Powell also downplayed recent surveys that have pointed to rising uncertainty among households and businesses. 
"We think our policy is in a good place," Powell said in a press conference Wednesday.
Shopify announced this week that it will voluntarily transfer its U.S. stock exchange listing from the New York Stock Exchange to the Nasdaq. The company&#8217;s shares will commence trading on the Nasdaq on March 31.
Price Action: Shopify shares closed Wednesday up 8.19% at $101.71, according to <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/pro/register/?utm_source=BZprocontent072624&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Benzinga Pro.</a>

A senior developer who had been loyal to a startup for three years learned the hard way that company loyalty doesn't always pay off. After <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44207260/his-boss-loves-him-a-redditors-friend-refused-a-5k-raise-convinced-it-would-mean-less-money-after-taxes">asking for a raise</a> to help support his growing family, he was quickly replaced with a cheaper worker. Now, he's fully <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43346851/surprisingly-feasible-software-engineer-shares-how-a-175k-second-job-helped-him-save-20k-in-just-two-months">embracing the &#8220;overemployed&#8221; lifestyle</a> and vows never to rely on just one job again.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Tough Lesson In Job Security</h2>
The developer <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/overemployed/comments/1jab7k7/never_quitting_oe_again/">shared</a> his story on Reddit, explaining how he had joined a small <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-invest-in-startups">startup</a> three years ago. As a contractor outside the U.S., he wasn't eligible for stock options but worked hard to help the company grow.
"There was a lot to be done, and boy, I did deliver <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43820555/tech-ceo-calls-working-two-jobs-a-form-of-theft-and-deception-fires-engineers-earning-140000-for-holding-secret-second-full-time-jobs">even with a J2</a>," he wrote, referring to his second job.

</ul>
Over the years, the company became highly profitable, but his compensation barely changed—just a 2% raise in total. Despite that, he stayed because he liked the team.
Things changed in November when he found out his wife was pregnant. Wanting to prioritize his family and health, he decided to quit his second job and focus on his primary employer. At the start of the year, he requested a 15% raise, explaining that inflation had eaten into his earnings and that the company could afford it.
Fifteen days later, one of the company's founders scheduled a meeting. The message was harsh: They had found someone cheaper and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44277188/a-poverty-sentence-heres-why-some-say-losing-a-federal-job-is-worse-than-being-fired-in-the-private-sector">no longer needed his services</a>.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Embracing The Overemployed Lifestyle</h2>
After losing his job so suddenly, the developer quickly secured a new position. Not stopping there, he also lined up a second job and is considering adding a third.
"Never again will I be relying [on] the safety of my family on a single [employer]," he wrote.
His story resonated with many online, with commenters sharing similar experiences of being let go despite years of dedication. Others encouraged him to embrace the benefits of working multiple remote jobs.
One user shared a strikingly similar experience: "I casually requested 2 weeks holiday in advance due to my son being born. They responded with a &#8216;You are fired&#8217; 1 week before he was born. We were literally at the bottom for months because of this because I was not OEing then."

Another pointed out how companies exploit workers whenever they can: "At my J1, they offered to convert me to [full-time].&#8221; The person went on to explain how their entire team—many with pregnant wives—had been fired after relocating, then rehired a year later at lower pay. &#8220;These companies hate us," he said.
One user summed up what many have come to realize: "Companies don't care about you as a person, and managers will let you go if they think it makes their lives easier or they can pad their own pockets. I've got kid #3 on the way and I'm extremely hesitant to let anyone in on it professionally. Companies want you to be 150% loyal but refuse any loyalty back."
For this developer, the lesson was this: job security comes from diversifying income streams, not from company loyalty. And judging by the comments, he's far from alone in that realization.

What To Know: Link highlighted Amazon's <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/02/43847764/amazon-tightens-grip-e-commerce-accelerates-jpmorgans-best-idea-2025">expanding market share</a>, which grew by 410 basis points last quarter, with improving profitability. She expects further acceleration in the latter half of the year despite capacity constraints.

On Palo Alto Networks, she sees a $15 billion annualized revenue opportunity in platformization and views it as a stronger long-term play compared to CrowdStrike Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>), which she recently sold.
Target, down 24% since February, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44360075/retail-giant-target-which-relies-on-china-for-30-of-its-merchandise-warns-of-profit-hit-as-trumps-trade-war-bites">has struggled with product mix</a> but is showing signs of recovery, particularly in discretionary spending.

Meanwhile, she initiated a position in Nextera Energy, noting its historically high valuation but seeing an opportunity now that it trades at 18 times price-to-sales. She praised its joint venture with GE Vernova Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEV#NYSE">GEV</a>) in natural gas and data centers.
Additionally, Link named Boeing her top 2025 stock due to leadership changes and improving execution.

<h2>Discovering Insmed: A Closer Look</h2>
Insmed Inc is a biopharmaceutical company transforming the lives of patients with serious and rare diseases. The company's first commercial product is ARIKAYCE (amikacin liposome inhalation suspension), approved in the US for the treatment of Mycobacterium Avium Complex (MAC) lung disease as part of a combination antibacterial drug regimen for adult patients with limited or no alternative treatment options. It is also developing Brensocatib, an oral reversible dipeptidyl peptidase 1 inhibitor for bronchiectasis and other neutrophil-mediated diseases, and Treprostinil Palmitil Inhalation Powder, an inhaled treprostinil prodrug for pulmonary hypertension linked to interstitial lung disease and pulmonary arterial hypertension.
<h3>Breaking Down Insmed's Financial Performance</h3>
Market Capitalization Analysis: The company exhibits a lower market capitalization profile, positioning itself below industry averages. This suggests a smaller scale relative to peers.
Revenue Growth: Insmed's revenue growth over a period of 3 months has been noteworthy. As of 31 December, 2024, the company achieved a revenue growth rate of approximately 24.79%. This indicates a substantial increase in the company's top-line earnings. As compared to competitors, the company surpassed expectations with a growth rate higher than the average among peers in the Health Care sector.
Net Margin: Insmed's net margin lags behind industry averages, suggesting challenges in maintaining strong profitability. With a net margin of -225.53%, the company may face hurdles in effective cost management.
Return on Equity (ROE): Insmed's ROE falls below industry averages, indicating challenges in efficiently using equity capital. With an ROE of -61.28%, the company may face hurdles in generating optimal returns for shareholders.
Return on Assets (ROA): Insmed's ROA falls below industry averages, indicating challenges in efficiently utilizing assets. With an ROA of -11.55%, the company may face hurdles in generating optimal returns from its assets.
Debt Management: Insmed's debt-to-equity ratio stands notably higher than the industry average, reaching 4.03. This indicates a heavier reliance on borrowed funds, raising concerns about financial leverage.
<h2>The Basics of Analyst Ratings</h2>
Analysts are specialists within banking and financial systems that typically report for specific stocks or within defined sectors. These people research company financial statements, sit in conference calls and meetings, and speak with relevant insiders to determine what are known as analyst ratings for stocks. Typically, analysts will rate each stock once a quarter. 
Some analysts publish their predictions for metrics such as growth estimates, earnings, and revenue to provide additional guidance with their ratings. When using analyst ratings, it is important to keep in mind that stock and sector analysts are also human and are only offering their opinions to investors.

<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.
