행동주의 투자자 엘리엇 매니지먼트(Elliott Management)는 조용히 앵글로 아메리칸(Anglo American)에 10억 달러 규모의 지분을 확보했으며, BHP 그룹(NYSE:BHP)으로부터 390억 달러 규모의 인수 입찰 대상이 된 이 영국 상장 광산 대기업에 압력을 가하고 있다. 이러한 발전은 최근 앵글로 아메리칸의 이사회가 BHP의 제안을 거부한 후에 나타났다. 이 영국 회사의 이사회는 자사의 전망과 복잡한 구조에 대한 BHP의 제안이 과소평가되고 &#34;매우 불만족스러운&#34; 것으로 여겼다.

On Friday, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said that they have been granted permission to deliver Starlink terminals and supplies to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/41105907/hurricane-helene-shutters-baxter-internationals-key-manufacturing-hub-in-north-caro">disaster-stricken areas in North Carolina</a>. However, the approval allegedly met some resistance initially.
What Happened:&nbsp;Musk took to X, formerly Twitter, and complained that SpaceX engineers were barred by the Federal Emergency Management Agency or FEMA from delivering Starlink terminals and&nbsp;supplies.
&#8220;SpaceX engineers are trying to&nbsp;deliver Starlink terminals &amp;&nbsp;supplies to devastated areas in&nbsp;North Carolina right now and&nbsp;FEMA is both failing to&nbsp;help AND won't let others&nbsp;help. This is unconscionable,&#8221; he said.
He also shared a video showing the extent of the devastation, with&nbsp;roads, houses, electricity, water supply, and ground internet connections destroyed.

Walz: Flash Poll Picks This Candidate As Tuesday&#8217;s Debate Winner, But He Falls Short In Favorability Rating</a>
He further criticized FEMA for not allowing the SpaceX team to land and deliver critical supplies, adding, &#8220;My blood is boiling.&#8221;
However, in a later update, Musk confirmed that SpaceX had finally received the necessary approval from FEMA to proceed with the delivery of the Starlink terminals and supplies.

Elon Musk Said His Blood Was 'Boiling' After FEMA Allegedly Didn't Allow SpaceX Engineers To Deliver Starlink Terminals And Supplies To Hurricane Helene Victims, But Now They've Received Approval

Taiwan-based&nbsp;Novatek&nbsp;is gearing up to mass-produce OLED displays a new technology that could significantly influence the design of future Apple Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) iPhones.
What Happened: On Friday, Novatek announced a plan to initiate&nbsp;mass production of OLED displays&nbsp;that incorporate&nbsp;Touch and Display Driver&nbsp;Integration or TDDI technology by the second quarter of 2025, <a href="https://www.digitimes.com/news/a20241004PD206/novatek-apple-tddi-ddi-taiwan.html">reported</a> DigiTimes.
Apple might be among the first clients for Novatek&#8217;s innovative technology, although this remains speculative at this point. 
The projected production timeline for Novatek&#8217;s TDDI displays aligns with the anticipated launch of next-generation iPhone displays in 2025.

TDDI technology could enable the creation of slimmer OLED displays by merging&nbsp;touch and display driver layers,&nbsp;making it a potential fit for the speculated ultra-thin &#8220;iPhone 17 Air.&#8221;
According to the report, the Cupertino, California-based tech giant might initially implement it in lower-volume products like&nbsp;future iPad and Apple Watch&nbsp;models.
The technology could also find application in&nbsp;a long-rumored foldable iPhone or&nbsp;iPad.

Why It Matters: Apple is rumored to be developing a thinner version of the iPhone 17, expected to launch in 2025. This model, potentially featuring a sleeker design, could attract more <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40332493/apples-thinner-iphone-17-air-with-sleeker-design-could-be-a-game-changer-says-promi">customers to upgrade their devices</a>.

Meanwhile, T-Mobile U.S. Inc. CEO Mike Sievert reported encouraging sales numbers for the new iPhone model last month, showing a strong launch despite initial concerns about demand.

Apple Might Have Just Found The Technology To Power Its Thin iPhone 17 Air Display

In a continued shift away from its cashierless Go convenience stores, Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) has reportedly shuttered three more locations in New York last week.
What Happened: Amazon has been steadily reducing its Go stores that use the &#8220;Just Walk Out&#8221; technology, with the latest closures, the total number of Go stores has come down to 17 nationwide, <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2024/10/04/amazon-closes-more-of-its-cashierless-convenience-stores/">reported</a> TechCrunch (<a href="https://www.theinformation.com/briefings/amazon-closes-three-more-go-convenience-stores">via</a> The Information) on Friday.
Last year in March also, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/03/31252375/amazon-prepares-to-cut-more-fluff-shut-8-amazon-go-stores-in-seattle-san-francisco-nyc">company had shut down eight</a> Go stores in Seattle, San Francisco, and New York.
Earlier this year, the company removed the&nbsp;Just Walk Out technology from&nbsp;its grocery stores, focusing&nbsp;more on smaller grab-and-go shops. It also opened a new Go store in Washington.
The e-commerce giant also continues to license the&nbsp;Just Walk Out technology to&nbsp;third-party convenience stores.

Why It Matters: In 2016, Amazon launched its Just Walk Out feature, enabling customers to scan a QR code when entering a store, pick up items, and leave without going through a traditional checkout.
The system relies on cameras, sensors, and a remote team monitoring shoppers to accurately track purchases and complete transactions.
However, the experimental system has faced several challenges, including long delays in finalizing transactions—sometimes taking hours—and the high costs involved in installing the necessary cameras and sensors at each location.
Earlier this year, it was reported that Amazon replaced this <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38055211/amazon-to-replace-just-walk-out-checkout-technology-with-smart-dash-carts">technology with a &#8220;smart-cart&#8221;</a> system called Dash Cart in its grocery stores.
Despite the closures, Amazon continues to focus on profitable ventures and efficiency gains. Earlier this month, Morgan Stanley analyst Brian Nowak reiterated <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41169322/amazons-profitable-essential-merchandise-efficiency-gains-set-to-drive-growth-analyst">Amazon with an Overweight rating</a>, highlighting the company&#8217;s growth potential.

Amazon Shutters 3 More Cashierless Go Stores In New York: Report

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) is on the verge of reaching a new all-time high, according to a prominent crypto analyst. The analyst suggests that Bitcoin must break through a significant resistance level to achieve this milestone.
What Happened: Bitcoin could reach a new peak if it surpasses the $64,000 resistance level.
Inmortal, a well-known trader, shared with his 216,300 followers on X that Bitcoin&#8217;s recent decline from around $66,000 to $60,000 might be forming a local bottom. He is considering going long on BTC if it demonstrates a swing failure pattern near $60,000 or gains acceptance above $63,000.
"Breakout above $64,000 = New ATH."

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Meanwhile, another analyst, Kaleo, predicts a short-term dip to approximately $57,000 or $58,000 before a rebound. He expects Bitcoin to rise gradually over the next month, especially after the presidential election, advising traders to accumulate during this period.
"Bitcoin. Still looking like a quick little chop to $57,000 or $58,000, followed by a grind higher the rest of the month into a full send post election."

Why It Matters: The potential for Bitcoin to hit new highs comes amid a backdrop of strong market performance. Recently, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41191566/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-end-the-week-with-strong-gains-summer-lull-seasonality-over-q4-b">cryptocurrency markets</a> have been buoyed by positive labor market data, signaling the end of the summer lull and the start of a bullish fourth quarter.
Additionally, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41185013/bitcoin-rebounds-above-61-500-and-80k-is-more-likely-than-40k-says-top-technical-analyst">technical analysts</a> have noted Bitcoin&#8217;s rebound above $61,500, suggesting that $80,000 is more likely than $40,000. This aligns with the current bullish sentiment, despite some bearish low-timeframe actions.
Furthermore, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41172369/bitcoin-not-a-safe-haven-but-rising-trump-odds-could-fuel-a-rally-standard-chartered">Standard Chartered</a> has highlighted Bitcoin&#8217;s role as a hedge against traditional financial system issues, rather than geopolitical tensions. This perspective reinforces the notion that Bitcoin&#8217;s price movements are more influenced by financial market dynamics than geopolitical events.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $62,120, showing a 1.5% increase over the past 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Bitcoin Could Hit New All-Time High If It Breaks Above This Resistance Level, Says Analyst

Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, has stated that the future of human exploration on Mars is contingent on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">re-election of former President</a> Donald Trump and the reduction of what he calls &#8220;smothering regulations."
What Happened: Musk, who has thrown his weight behind Trump, endorsed him yet again in the backdrop of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41018400/spacex-hits-back-at-faa-chief-for-pinning-starship-delays-on-safety-concerns-every-statement-he-made">SpaceX's struggles</a> with the Federal Aviation Administration, or FAA.
&#8220;Unless Trump wins and we get rid of the mountain of smothering regulations (that have nothing to do with safety!), humanity will never reach Mars. This is existential.&#8221;

This comes amid escalating tensions between SpaceX and FAA, with Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41041586/spacex-ceo-elon-musk-calls-for-resignation-of-faa-administrator-mike-whitaker">recently calling for the resignation</a> of FAA chief Mike Whitaker.
Musk&#8217;s company has criticized Whitaker for his defense of delays in SpaceX&#8217;s Starship launch vehicle, claiming that &#8220;every statement he made was incorrect.&#8221;
Why It Matters: The relationship between SpaceX and the FAA has been strained, with Musk accusing the FAA of favoritism towards Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) and proposing a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40912464/elon-musk-accuses-faa-of-fining-spacex-over-nonsense-that-doesnt-affect-safety-amazingly-no-star">$633,009 fine on SpaceX</a> for regulatory violations.
Whitaker has defended the FAA&#8217;s actions, citing safety concerns and regulatory compliance as reasons for the delay in SpaceX&#8217;s Starship launch. He also stated that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41016988/spacex-in-violation-of-texas-federal-law-on-some-matters-says-faa-agency-hits-back-at-elon-musks-roc">SpaceX did not adhere</a> to permitting and licensing requirements, which Musk criticized as obstructive.
These ongoing disputes have led Musk to argue that the future of space exploration depends on a political climate that favors deregulation. His recent tweet suggests that he sees a Trump victory as a necessary condition for this to happen.

Elon Musk Says 'Humanity Will Never Reach Mars' Unless Trump Wins: 'This Is Existential'

Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers has expressed disapproval of the Federal Reserve&#8217;s decision to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/09/40926026/federal-reserve-delivers-bold-0-5-rate-cut-signals-further-easing-ahead">cut interest rates last month</a>, terming it a misstep in the face of the latest US job growth data.
What Happened: On Friday, Summers took to X, formerly Twitter, and voiced his disagreement with the Federal Reserve&#8217;s decision to slash interest rates by 50 basis points in September.
He labeled this action as a &#8220;mistake,&#8221; particularly in light of the recent data that shows <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/previews/24/10/41170128/jobs-report-preview-could-september-labor-data-shift-feds-interest-rate-path">U.S. job growth</a> exceeding all predictions.
&#8220;Today&#8217;s employment report confirms suspicions that we are in a high neutral rate environment where responsible monetary policy requires caution in rate cutting,&#8221; he said.

Joseph Brusuelas, principal and chief economist at RSM US LLP, highlighted the strong wage increases and dismissed recession concerns, pointing instead to a &#8220;mid-cycle economic expansion.&#8221;
Aditya Bhave, U.S. economist at BofA Securities, adjusted his November forecast to smaller rate cuts (25 basis points) due to the robust economic data.
Bhave predicted a terminal rate of 3.0%-3.25%, with the potential for it to rise further, given the unexpectedly strong productivity growth.
Before the September rate cut, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell had stated that future interest rate cuts would hinge on economic data. His comments at the time added <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41102248/stocks-slip-as-powell-says-future-interest-rate-cuts-hinge-on-data-economy-is-in-solid-shape-we-inte">uncertainty to the market</a>, causing stocks to slip.

Federal Reserve

Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers Slams Fed's September Rate Cut Saying It Was A Mistake: 'Today's Employment Report Confirms Suspicions That...'

Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg took aim at Elon Musk on Friday over allegations that federal authorities hindered flights delivering aid to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/hurricane-helene">Hurricane Helene</a> victims.
What Happened: Musk posted a screenshot implying that airspace was &#8220;shut down&#8221; and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was &#8220;throttling flights.&#8221;
Musk voiced his frustration, stating, &#8220;The level of belligerent government incompetence is staggering!!&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
In response, Buttigieg refuted these claims, asserting that the FAA does not obstruct legitimate rescue and recovery flights. He extended an invitation to Musk to discuss any issues directly, saying, &#8220;If you're encountering a problem give me a call.&#8221;
Following their public exchange, Musk expressed gratitude for a private conversation with Buttigieg, indicating a desire to resolve the matter. &#8220;Thanks for the call. Hopefully, we can resolve this soon,&#8221; Musk wrote, though the details of their discussion remain undisclosed.

Why It Matters: The backdrop of this exchange is the ongoing recovery efforts following Hurricane Helene, which has significantly impacted the region.

This move was part of a broader initiative to deploy a software update ensuring Starlink systems operate without payment in hurricane-affected zones.
Furthermore, the hurricane season has been notably active, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41145534/hurricane-helene-adds-to-most-active-quarter-for-power-outages-driving-back-up-gene">Hurricane Helene</a> contributing to widespread power outages, affecting millions.

These claims have been strongly denied, with officials labeling them as falsehoods.

Pete Buttigieg And Elon Musk Clash Over Hurricane Aid Flight Claims

The White House has refuted Republican claims of Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funds mismanagement following Hurricane Helene.
What Happened: On Friday, Andrew Bates, the senior deputy press secretary, issued a memo accusing Republicans of propagating &#8220;bald-faced lies&#8221; about the post-Hurricane Helene cleanup efforts, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/4916014-federal-response-criticized/">reported</a> The Hill.
Republicans, including former President Donald Trump, have claimed&nbsp;that disaster relief funding was&nbsp;spent on migrants, criticizing the administration&#8217;s hurricane response.
Bates denied these allegations, saying, &#8220;No disaster relief funding at all was used to support migrants housing and services. None. At. All.&#8221;
See Also:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41156066/elon-musk-cant-contain-his-joy-after-california-deepfakes-law-supported-by-gavin-newsom-blocked-by-c?itm_source=parsely-api" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Elon Musk Can&#8217;t Contain His Joy After California Deepfakes Law Supported By Gavin Newsom Blocked By Court: &#8216;Yay!&#8217;</a>
He stated that Congress appropriates the funding for migrant support to Customs &amp; Border Protection, and FEMA merely administers it.
Bates also noted&nbsp;that FEMA has already provided&nbsp;over&nbsp;$45 million in direct financial&nbsp;assistance to individuals and families&nbsp;affected by the storm. He cautioned against the potential harm of spreading false information, especially&nbsp;when people are in need.
On the same day, FEMA also released a fact-checking page, confirming that &#8220;no money has been diverted&#8221; and that it has sufficient funds&nbsp;for immediate response and recovery&nbsp;needs.
Why It Matters: Hurricane Helene, which hit on Sept. 26, caused significant damage and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41126631/hurricane-helene-devastation-the-latest-on-damage-companies-affected">left nearly 800,000 people</a> without power. The storm claimed more than 130 lives and caused widespread power outages, affecting over two million customers of Duke Energy Corp.
As a result of the hurricane, there was a surge in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41145534/hurricane-helene-adds-to-most-active-quarter-for-power-outages-driving-back-up-gene">demand for backup and portable</a> power generators.
President Joe Biden has urged Congress to reconvene from recess to approve more funding for recovery efforts, though lawmakers aren't scheduled to return until Nov. 12.
His administration has already sent over 4,800 federal personnel to aid in the response, and the president has authorized the deployment of up to 1,000 troops to assist with North Carolina's recovery, the report noted.
Biden visited North Carolina on Wednesday, followed by trips to Florida and Georgia on Thursday to assess the damage and meet with local leaders.
Previously, Republican presidential nominee Trump allegedly took credit for the deployment of Elon Musk-led Starlink satellites to aid communication restoration in areas affected by Hurricane Helene.
However, FEMA contradicted his statement, saying that the decision was already in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41110218/trump-says-he-spoke-with-elon-musk-for-starlink-deployment-to-aid-hurricane-helene-affected-areas-bu">place before Trump's alleged</a> involvement.

White House Counters GOP Accusations Of FEMA Funds Misuse, Denies Disaster Relief Funding Was Used For Migrant Housing: 'Bald-Faced Lies'

Chinese electric vehicle startup Nio Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>) announced late Friday that it has struck a partnership with one of its strategic investors to foray into the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/06/39213251/asia-mena-gaming-markets-reach-85-5b-in-2023-see-future-projections">Middle East and North Africa</a>.
What Happened: Nio has tied up with Abu Dhabi-based CYVN Holdings to launch the Nio MENA in a bid to launch Nio-branded vehicles and vehicles from its subsidiary in the region, the Shanghai-based company said in a statement. This, according to the company, will expand its footprint and integrate further into the &#8220;global smart EV ecosystem.&#8221;
CYVN Holdings will support Nio with strategic investments for the expansion, which will start with UAE.
The company also plans to establish a state-of-the-art R&amp;D center in Abu Dhabi, the capital city of UAE. This center will focus on &#8220;autonomous driving and artificial intelligence advancements, reinforcing NIO's global R&amp;D capabilities and fostering technological innovation in the MENA region.&#8221;
Nio and CYVN Holdings plan to collaborate on a new EV project that will involve research, manufacturing, and future product launches. The EV startup would also work with its partners in Egypt to expand EV manufacturing in the country.
In <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/23/12/36281426/nio-stock-up-premarket-after-securing-2-2b-strategic-investment" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">December Nio closed a $2.2 billion equity investment from</a>&nbsp;CYVN Investments RSC Ltd.
 Jassem Mohamed Obaid Bu Ataba Alzaabi, Chairman of CYVN Holdings, said, &#8220;This partnership is a testament to our mutual commitment to fostering the strength of our strategic collaborations and achieving transformative goals in the smart mobility sector.&#8221;
Nio&#8217;s founder, Chairman and CEO William Li said, &#8220;Our collaboration with CYVN Holdings is a cornerstone in our strategy to enhance global accessibility to smart electric vehicles and to push the boundaries of technological innovation.&#8221;

Why It&#8217;s Important: Nio is a manufacturer of premium EVs and it has recently entered the low-end of the market with its Onvo brand. Deliveries of the first vehicle launched by the sub-brand, codenamed&nbsp;L60, began in late September, and early uptake has been fairly strong.
This week, Nio reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41114350/chinese-ev-trio-nio-xpeng-li-auto-surge-higher-in-tuesdays-premarket-whats-going-on">strong September and record third-quarter deliveries</a> despite the tough domestic EV market conditions marked by lackluster demand and cutthroat competition. 
In late-September, the company said a trio of domestic strategic investors agreed to invest an aggregate of 3.3 billion yuan ($470.64 million) in cash in its subsidiary Nio China. Nio on its part said it would invest 10 billion yuan (about $1.43 billion) in cash to subscribe to the newly issued shares of Nio China.&nbsp;The latest investments would infuse the much-needed financing to pursue it expansion both in China and overseas. 
Nio&#8217;s prospects in China also appear bright, given China has decided to copiously stimulate the domestic economy, potentially arming consumers with the much-needed cash to splurge.
The company currently sells EVs in European countries such as Norway, Sweden, Germany, and the Netherlands. The MENA partnership comes as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41182675/tesla-byd-and-other-ev-stocks-to-watch-as-eu-votes-to-approve-tariffs-on-chinese-ev-imports">European Commission has voted in favor of up to 45% tariffs on imported Chinese EVs.</a>
Price Action: Nio ended Friday&#8217;s session up 1.04% at $6.77, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro data.</a>

Tesla Rival Nio Accelerates Global Expansion, To Launch EVs in Middle East Amid EU Tariff Concerns

Democratic Presidential nominee Kamala Harris has reportedly engaged with Arab American and Muslim leaders in Flint, Michigan, amid rising tensions over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39562547/us-has-sent-thousands-of-hellfire-missiles-and-2-000-pound-bombs-to-israel-amid-ongoing-war-with-ham">U.S. support for Israel&#8217;s conflicts</a> in Gaza and Lebanon.
What Happened: On Friday, Harris met with representatives from Emgage Action,&nbsp;the American Task Force on&nbsp;Lebanon, and long-time associate Hala Hijazi, reported Reuters, citing two sources.
The meeting is part of a broader effort to reconnect&nbsp;with Muslim and Arab voters,&nbsp;who were instrumental in securing a Democrat win in 2020 but may reconsider their support for Harris in the next election.
Harris addressed the upcoming election and the ongoing Middle East conflicts&nbsp;during the meeting.
She expressed&nbsp;concern over the&nbsp;suffering in Gaza, civilian casualties, and displacement in Lebanon,&nbsp;and discussed efforts to end&nbsp;the war and prevent a regional conflict, the report noted.

Wa&#8217;el Alzayat, CEO of Emgage&nbsp;Action, said they &#8220;asked Vice President Harris to impress upon President Biden the urgency of bringing an immediate end to the violence&#8221; in Gaza and Lebanon.
However, some Arab Americans believe Harris&#8217; reluctance&nbsp;to distance herself from President&nbsp;Biden&#8217;s Middle East policies could cost her in the upcoming election.
A recent poll&nbsp;by the Arab American Institute&nbsp;found Harris and Trump at&nbsp;roughly even levels of support&nbsp;among Arab Americans.
Why It Matters: The meeting comes amidst a backdrop of escalating tensions in the Middle East.
Last month, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40920151/china-slams-us-for-shielding-israel-blocking-gaza-ceasefire-efforts-as-war-nears-1-year">China accused the U.S.</a> of shielding Israel and obstructing ceasefire efforts in the Gaza conflict. &#8220;Had the US not shielded one side time and again, multiple resolutions of this council would not have been flagrantly rejected and defied.&#8221;
Later that month,&nbsp;senior U.S. officials <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40955425/top-us-officials-skeptical-of-israel-hamas-cease-fire-and-hostage-deal-before-bidens-term-ends-repor">expressed skepticism about a ceasefire</a> and hostage-release deal between Israel and Hamas.
Meanwhile, Israel continued its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/09/41056542/israel-plans-to-disrupt-arms-delivery-from-iran-to-lebanon-in-motion-as-palestinian-president-cr">military operations in Lebanon and Gaza</a>.
Earlier in the year, Harris had urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to help establish a Gaza ceasefire, a move that was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40417063/trump-says-he-encouraged-netanyahu-to-end-gaza-war-while-critizing-kamala-harris-for-demanding-cease">later criticized by</a> Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
&#8220;I will give Israel the support that it needs to win but I do want them to win fast,&#8221; Trump reportedly said in August.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Tesla Stock In The Last 10 Years

The phrase "the one percent" gets tossed around a lot in conversations about wealth and inequality, whether in politics, protests, or everyday chats. But what does it mean to be in the top 1%? Let's break it down by income and net worth to get a clearer picture of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40711869/how-rich-are-you-heres-the-net-worth-that-defines-upper-middle-and-lower-class">who's part of this exclusive group.</a>

</ul>
What Income Puts You in the Top 1%?
To be in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/39652328/your-income-might-be-upper-class-and-you-dont-know-it-heres-the-salary-needed-to-reach-elite-sta">top 1% of earners</a> in the U.S., a household must bring in at least $591,550 a year. For a single individual, the cutoff is $407,500. Remember, these numbers are averages and can vary depending on where you live. For example, earning that much in New York City might not stretch as far as it does in other parts of the country.
The Top 1% by Net Worth
When it comes to net worth, the threshold is even higher. To be part of the top 1% in the U.S., a household's net worth needs to be at least $13.6 million. This measure includes everything you own – homes, investments, savings – minus debts.
Wealth tends to be a lot more unevenly distributed than income. Many households have little to no net worth, while the top tier sits on massive wealth. That's why net worth often gives a clearer picture of someone's financial status than income alone.
Trending: Beating the market through ethical real estate investing' — t<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/invest-with-roots">his platform aims to give tenants equity in the homes they live in while scoring 17.17% average annual returns for investors – here&#8217;s how to join with just $100</a>
Income vs. Net Worth: Which Tells the Real Story?
So, which is more important, income or net worth? It depends on what you're trying to measure. Income is great for understanding how much someone earns in a year, but net worth is the better gauge for long-term financial stability and overall wealth. Someone with a high income might not have a high net worth if they spend a lot or have significant debt, while someone with a lower income but solid investments could be much wealthier.
How Many People Are in the 1%?
As of the latest numbers, there are around 1.3 million households and about 1.8 million individual workers who fall into the top 1% in the U.S. That's a small slice of the population but represents a significant share of the country's wealth and income.
Trending: Commercial real estate has historically outperformed the stock market, and<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/marcus-millichap-backed-platform-makes-it-easy-to-invest-in-real-estate"> this platform allows individuals to invest in commercial real estate with as little as $5,000 offering a 12% target yield with a bonus 1% return boost today!</a>
State-by-State Variations
The income required to be in the top 1% varies significantly across states. For example:
<ul>
<li>Connecticut has the highest threshold at $952,902</li>
<li>Massachusetts follows at $903,401</li>
<li>California comes in third at $844,266</li>
<li>On the lower end, Mississippi has a threshold of just $254,362</li>

Signal description
Order flow analytics, aka transaction or market flow analysis, separate and study both the retail and institutional volume rate of orders (flow). It involves analyzing the flow of buy and sell orders, along with size, timing, and other associated characteristics and patterns, to gain insights and make more informed trading decisions. This particular indicator is interpreted as a bullish signal by active traders.&nbsp;
The Power Inflow occurs within the first two hours of the market open and generally signals the trend that helps gauge the stock&#8217;s overall direction, powered by institutional activity in the stock, for the remainder of the day.&nbsp;
By incorporating order flow analytics into their trading strategies, market participants can better interpret market conditions, identify trading opportunities, and potentially improve their trading performance. But let's not forget that while watching smart money flow can provide valuable insights, it is crucial to incorporate effective risk management strategies to protect capital and mitigate potential losses. Employing a consistent and effective risk management plan helps traders navigate the uncertainties of the market in a more controlled and calculated manner, increasing the likelihood of long-term success

The Analyst Verdict: American Intl Gr In The Eyes Of 12 Experts

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is holding firm on its stance that medical marijuana users should not allowed to own a gun, citing safety risks.
In a recent filing, federal attorneys argued that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/06/39488414/cannabis-guns-kentucky-2nd-amendment-meet-the-atf-if-you-say-yes-to-medical-marijuana-the-answer">ban on gun ownership</a> for cannabis users is constitutional and should remain in place. 
This aligns with federal regulations barring gun access for individuals considered potentially dangerous, such as those who are mentally ill or under the influence, <a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/doj-says-allowing-a-pennsylvania-prosecutor-who-uses-medical-marijuana-to-possess-a-gun-would-be-dangerous/">reported</a> Marijuana Moment.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Pennsylvania Prosecutor Challenges Federal Gun Ban</h3>
This filing responds to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/01/36750779/guns-and-weed-conflict-heats-up-pennsylvania-da-sues-feds-over-firearms-ban-for-medical-marijuan">a lawsuit</a> by Robert Greene, the District Attorney of Warren County, Pennsylvania, who is a registered medical marijuana patient. Along with the Second Amendment Foundation, Greene filed suit against the DOJ, Attorney General Merrick Garland and other federal agencies, arguing that the ban infringes on his right to bear arms for self-defense.
The DOJ&#8217;s filing, submitted to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, seeks to dismiss Greene&#8217;s suit. 
"Marijuana's physical and mental effects impair a person's judgment, including judgment about whether to use firearms," it says.
The next step for Robert Greene's case involves a federal court decision on his request for a preliminary injunction.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Contradictory Ruling In Texas Gun &amp; Cannabis Rights Case</h3>
Greene's case is not the only legal battle on this issue. In a separate case, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that cannabis users cannot be barred from owning firearms.
The ruling arose from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40655441/cannabis-users-cannot-be-barred-from-gun-ownership-u-s-appeals-court-rules">the case</a> of Paola Connelly, a Texas resident whose right to bear arms was upheld despite her past marijuana use. "Marijuana user or not, Paola is a member of our political community and thus has a presumptive right to bear arms," U.S. Circuit Judge Kurt Engelhardt ruled.
The decision is significant because it aligns with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/08/33719970/federal-court-strikes-down-gun-prohibition-for-cannabis-users-as-unconstitutional">a 2022 Supreme Court</a> decision stating that firearm laws should reflect historical gun ownership traditions.
While the DOJ has not commented on this ruling, it raises questions about how the federal government will address gun ownership rights among the millions of legal cannabis users nationwide.
