8 Industrials Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Boeing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) has secured a $2.38 billion contract to build 15 additional KC-46A Pegasus tankers under the Lot 11 contract with the <a target="_blank" href="https://boeing.mediaroom.com/news-releases-statements?item=131508" rel="noreferrer noopener">U.S. Air Force</a>.
This latest award brings Boeing&#8217;s global contract to 168 KC-46A refuelers, a multi-mission aerial tanker designed to support advanced joint force capabilities.
The KC-46A has proven its operational value, having flown over 100,000 hours and offloading more than 200 million pounds of fuel worldwide.

It made its first full-scale deployment in October after being approved for global combat operations in 2022.
This contract builds on the July agreement, which focused on upgrading the KC-46A&#8217;s mission readiness and operational performance. Enhancements include advanced communication systems, improved data connectivity, and situational awareness, further strengthening survivability in contested environments. These upgrades complement the 2023 Block 1 improvements.
Since 2019, Boeing has delivered 89 Pegasus tankers to the U.S. Air Force and four to Japan&#8217;s Air Self-Defense Force. The KC-46A program continues to expand its reach, solidifying its role as a critical asset for U.S. and allied forces.
Boeing reported a 1% revenue decline to $17.85 billion in the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41486950/boeing-q3-earnings-revenue-and-profit-decline-cultural-challenges-ceo-ortberg-vows-transformation" rel="noreferrer noopener">third quarter of 2024</a>, missing the analyst consensus of $17.93 billion. The adjusted operating loss of $5.99 billion, compared to $1.09 billion a year ago.&nbsp;

This reduction is part of a larger effort to cut 17,000 jobs, representing 10% of the company&#8217;s global workforce.
In October, Boeing announced plans to raise <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41606547/boeing-eyes-20-7-billion-windfall-as-stock-offering-expands-details" rel="noreferrer noopener">$21 billion by</a> selling 112.5 million shares at $143.00 each and $5 billion in depositary shares.
Price Action: BA stock is down 0.08% at $143.30 premarket at the last check Friday.

'Boeing CEO to Employees: We Can't Afford Another Mistake' - WSJ

President-elect Donald Trump announced former Congressman Sean Duffy to oversee the Department of Transportation (DOT) on Monday. 
Here's a look at how the latest Trump selection could affect companies in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42053292/trump-picks-sean-duffy-as-next-transportation-secretary-says-he-will-usher-in-the-golden-age-of-travel">the transportation sector. </a>
The Details: Duffy, who served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 2011 to 2019, most recently worked as Fox News Media host. He left the position on Monday, according <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/18/us/politics/sean-duffy-trump-transportation-dot.html">to</a> the New York Times.
Duffy is the second Fox News employee to be nominated by Trump for a cabinet position. Last week, Trump picked Fox News host Pete Hegseth as Defense Secretary despite <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41952962/trumps-surprise-defense-secretary-pick-pete-hegseth-jolts-wall-street">lack of government experience</a>.
In 1997, he was a cast member on MTV's "The Real World: Boston.&#8221;
As Transportation Secretary, Duffy would be in charge of major federal agencies, including the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

"He will prioritize Excellence, Competence, Competitiveness and Beauty when rebuilding America's highways, tunnels, bridges and airports. He will ensure our ports and dams serve our Economy without compromising our National Security, and he will make our skies safe again by eliminating DEI for pilots and air traffic controllers," Trump said in his announcement.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Air Travel</h3>
If approved by the Senate, Duffy can be expected to address ongoing aviation <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/24/11/42014904/boeing-begins-layoffs-is-the-737-max-recovery-enough-to-lift-ba-stock">safety issues</a>. This could include matters relating to Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) and air traffic control challenges. As part of Trump's focus on efficiency, Duffy could potentially work to enhance safety measures while streamlining regulations. 
Major airline companies like Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>), United Airlines Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) and American Airlines Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) may be affected by potential policy and regulatory changes, as well. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">&#8216;Overall Negative For EV Industry&#8217;</h3>
The DOT also oversees the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) which is expected to focus on regulatory frameworks for electric vehicles and autonomous driving technologies in the near term.  The NHTSA is likely to establish guidelines for emerging technologies like Tesla, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) autonomous driving software. 
Recent reports suggest Trump has plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42046316/trump-set-to-hand-musk-golden-path-for-tesla-after-reversing-course-on-autonomous-vehicle-ban">ease restrictions</a> on self-driving vehicles, which could help companies like Tesla expand FSD and bring robotaxis to the market.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk campaigned heavily for Trump and provided millions to his campaign coffers ahead of Election Day.
At the same time, it seems likely that the incoming Trump administration <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41781921/what-does-trumps-victory-mean-for-ev-giant-tesla-and-the-big-3-automakers">will eliminate </a>or reduce many of the EV purchase incentives included in the Biden administration&#8217;s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). 
Wedbush analysts said that Tesla&#8217;s rivals, U.S.-based EV startups like Rivian Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>) and Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LCID#NASDAQ">LCID</a>), could face a major set-back if Trump rolls back current EV tax incentives and rebates, as reports suggest. 
"We believe a Trump presidency would be an overall negative for the EV industry as likely the EV rebates/tax incentives get pulled," Wedbush analysts wrote.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Railroads</h3>
If Duffy is confirmed, he will also oversee the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), which is responsible for safety measures across the rail network. He may address safety concerns following incidents like the East Palestine <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38240139/norfolk-southern-to-pay-600m-in-ohio-train-derailment-lawsuit">derailment in 2023</a>.
Duffy will also manage billions in federal grants aimed at improving rail infrastructure and upgrading aging rail systems to enhance efficiency and safety. Railroad companies including CSX Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSX#NASDAQ">CSX</a>), Norfolk Southern Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NSC#NYSE">NSC</a>) and Union Pacific Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNP#NYSE">UNP</a>) may benefit from such improvement projects. 
Investors can also monitor the broader transportation sector through ETFs which track its performance including the iShares Trust iShares U.S. Transportation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IYT#BATS">IYT</a>) and the First Trust Nasdaq Transportation ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FTXR#NASDAQ">FTXR</a>).

Spotlight on Boeing: Analyzing the Surge in Options Activity

European markets sank on Tuesday and U.S. stock futures followed suit, weighed down by escalating geopolitical tensions after Russian President Vladimir Putin revised the country&#8217;s nuclear doctrine to broaden the conditions <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/vladimir-putin">for deploying atomic weapons. </a>
Putin's move to ease the threshold for nuclear strikes came just a day after the White House authorized Ukraine to deploy American-made long-range ATACMS missiles deep into Russian territory. 
The Euro STOXX 50, as tracked by the SPDR DJ Euro STOXX 50 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FEZ#NYSE">FEZ</a>), and STOXX 600 indices dropped 1.2% and 0.8%, respectively, both tracking toward their lowest closing levels since mid-August.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Putin Expands Nuclear Doctrine Amid US-Backed Ukrainian Strike</h3>
On Tuesday, Ukraine reportedly carried out its first ATACMS strike on a military facility near Karachev in Russia&#8217;s Bryansk region, about 70 miles from Ukraine, according to reports by <a href="https://newsukraine.rbc.ua/news/us-officially-allows-ukraine-to-to-strike-1732012491.html">RBC Ukraine</a>.
RBC Ukraine cited a Defense Forces source confirming a successful strike, marking the first time these long-range missiles were used in such a capacity. Russia acknowledged the attack.
&#8220;Indeed, for the first time, we used ATACMS to strike Russian territory. The strike was carried out against a facility in the Bryansk region, and it was successfully hit,&#8221; the source reported.
On Monday, the previous day, U.S. Under Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs Brian A. Nichols officially confirmed that the White House had given Ukraine approval to use long-range weapons to target Russian territory.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">European Markets React: Euro, Bank Equities Drop</h3>
The geopolitical developments triggered a sharp selloff across European equities. In Poland, the WIG20 stock index plunged 2.5%, reflecting the country's proximity to the conflict and heightened exposure to regional risks. 
European banks also bore the brunt of the downturn, with the banking index slipping 2.2%. Among the hardest-hit financial institutions were CaixaBank SA (OTCPK: CAIXY), which sank 5.1%, FinecoBank Spa (OTCPK: FCBBF), down 4.2%, and Unicredito Spa (OTCPK: UNCFF), which dropped 3.3%.
The euro also came under pressure, falling 0.3% to hover at $1.0550 against the U.S. dollar, as traders sought safety in the greenback amid mounting geopolitical risks.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Flight To Safety: Bonds, Gold Shine</h3>
Heightened geopolitical risks spurred demand for safe-haven assets. Yields on long-dated U.S. Treasuries fell by 4-5 basis points, lifting bond prices. The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) could see strong gains following this move.
Gold surged 1%, building on a 1.9% rally from the previous session, as investors sought shelter from rising uncertainties.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">US Premarket Action</h3>
U.S. equity futures mirrored the cautious sentiment overseas, with Dow Jones Industrial Average futures down 0.4%, S&amp;P 500 futures declining 0.3%, and Nasdaq 100 futures slipping 0.1%. 
Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) surged over 3% in premarket trading after reporting stronger-than-expected quarterly earnings. 
Among defense stocks, Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>) gained 0.9%, while Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) fell by the same margin.

Putin Revises Nuclear Doctrine For Broader Strikes After US-Backed Ukrainian Attack: Markets Drop, Bonds Gain

Amid rising tensions between the United States and China, a senior adviser from Beijing has issued a stark warning about the potential repercussions of President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s proposed tariffs on Chinese goods. The adviser highlighted the significant impact these tariffs could have on the U.S. economy, particularly the defense sector.
What Happened: Ding Yifan, a researcher at the State Council&#8217;s Development Research Center, cautioned that Trump&#8217;s plan to impose a 60% tariff could severely affect American manufacturers. This includes the defense industry, which relies heavily on affordable components from China, the Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/6d0484e8-e65f-478d-8548-4e3aa37ed339">reported</a> on Tuesday.
Ding stated that such tariffs could potentially reduce U.S. GDP growth by half. He also noted that Chinese suppliers might bypass these tariffs by rerouting products through other countries. His comments were made during a government-organized briefing for international media.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41889911/whats-going-on-with-china-based-stocks-alibaba-jd-com-pdd-holdings-baidu-nio?itm_source=parsely-api" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">What&#8217;s Going On With China-Based Stocks Alibaba, JD.com, PDD Holdings, Baidu, Nio?</a>
He emphasized the crucial role of Chinese suppliers for U.S. military enterprises, warning that production could face significant disruptions without these supplies. 
"If [U.S. leaders] really implement the policies for trade friction or a confrontation, it will have severe consequences," Ding said.
Additionally, Ding pointed out that American consumers have historically shouldered the cost of tariffs, citing studies from the Peterson Institute for International Economics. He suggested that while China could mitigate some impacts by shifting trade routes, the U.S. might face greater economic turmoil.
Why It Matters: The warning from Beijing comes as Chinese President Xi Jinping <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42025284/xi-jinping-tells-joe-biden-china-is-ready-to-work-with-trump-as-tariff-threat-looms">expressed China&#8217;s willingness </a>to collaborate with the U.S. government to manage differences and expand cooperation. This statement was made during a meeting with President Joe Biden, emphasizing China&#8217;s readiness to work with any U.S. administration.
Meanwhile, tech investor Peter Thiel has predicted that<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/42028954/peter-thiel-says-trumps-60-china-tariff-would-be-very-very-bad-for-beijing-heres-whats-at-stake"> Trump&#8217;s proposed tariffs</a> would be detrimental to Chinese companies, though he believes the impact on American consumers would be &#8220;mildly negative.&#8221; Furthermore, Chinese tech giants like Alibaba Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) and ByteDance are expanding their presence in Silicon Valley, seeking to attract top U.S. talent in the AI sector amidst U.S. efforts to block progress.
Price Action: As per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>, defense stocks have risen over the past one year running up to the November presidential elections. In terms of year-to-date (YTD) returns, Lockheed Martin Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>) saw a 16.41% increase, while Northrop Grumman Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOC#NYSE">NOC</a>) witnessed a 3.95% increase. Beleaguered company Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) was down by 42.85% due to its own trouble while Northrop Grumman Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOC#NYSE">NOC</a>) was up by 3.95%.

Trump's Tariffs Could Have 'Severe Consequences' For US Defense Sector, Beijing Adviser Warns

Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) is set to lay off more than 2,500 employees across four U.S. states, including Washington, Oregon, South Carolina, and Missouri. This move is part of the company&#8217;s broader plan to cut 17,000 jobs, which accounts for 10% of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/24/11/42014904/boeing-begins-layoffs-is-the-737-max-recovery-enough-to-lift-ba-stock">its global workforce</a>.
What Happened: The layoffs will impact engineers, technicians, and non-union workers, reported Reuters. On Wednesday, the affected employees were informed that they would remain on Boeing&#8217;s payroll until Jan. 17, in compliance with federal regulations.
Boeing&#8217;s decision to issue a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) in mid-November was widely anticipated. Additional layoffs are expected in December. The company may also reduce its workforce through workforce attrition, selective hiring, and the sale of subsidiaries.
The layoffs are expected to affect workers in the company&#8217;s key manufacturing hubs, providing an indication of the impact on the workforce.

Why It Matters: The layoffs come amid Boeing&#8217;s ongoing financial struggles. In October, the company announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/24/11/42014904/boeing-begins-layoffs-is-the-737-max-recovery-enough-to-lift-ba-stock">plans to cut 10% of its workforce</a>. 
Despite these challenges, Boeing has been making efforts to recover. The company recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/11/41946311/boeing-forecasts-67-growth-in-global-air-cargo-fleet-by-2043-driven-by-asia-demand">forecasted a 67% growth in the global air cargo fleet by 2043</a>, driven by strong demand in Asia. This indicates that Boeing is still a key player in the aviation industry and is working to adapt to changing market conditions.
Price Action: Boeing stock closed the regular trading session at $143.87 on Monday, up 2.63% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock edged down 0.23%. Year to date, Boeing&#8217;s stock has declined significantly, falling 42.85%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Boeing To Layoff 2,199 Workers In Washington State Starting On December 20, 2024

Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) has issued layoff notices to over 400 members of its professional aerospace labor union, as part of the company&#8217;s ongoing efforts to recover from<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/08/40585703/boeing-737-aircraft-experiences-engine-trouble-during-alaska-airlines-flight-forced-to-turn-around"> financial and regulatory challenges.</a>
What Happened: The layoff notices were sent out last week to members of the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA), <a href="https://apnews.com/article/boeing-layoffs-union-strike-4a3b21ba7696e2e945708f6a2cb74438">reported</a> AP News. The affected workers will remain on the payroll through mid-January.
In October, Boeing announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41301576/boeing-announces-10-workforce-reduction-amidst-ongoing-struggles-impacting-nearly-17k-employees">plans to cut 10% of its workforce, </a>approximately 17,000 jobs, in the coming months. The company&#8217;s CEO, Kelly Ortberg, stated that the company must &#8220;reset its workforce levels to align with our financial reality.&#8221;

The layoffs have impacted 438 members of the SPEEA union, with the local chapter representing 17,000 Boeing employees, primarily based in Washington, with some in Oregon, California, and Utah. The affected workers will receive career transition services, subsidized health care benefits for up to three months, and severance pay.
Why It Matters: Boeing, based in Arlington, Virginia, has been grappling with financial and regulatory issues since an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/04/38097239/compensation-package-boeing-assists-alaska-air-with-160m-amid-crisis">incident involving an Alaska Airlines plane in January.</a> Following the incident, the Federal Aviation Administration has limited the production of the 737 MAX to 38 planes per month, a target Boeing has yet to achieve.
The recent layoffs are part of Boeing&#8217;s broader efforts to navigate its financial challenges. The aerospace giant has been grappling with a series of setbacks, including a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41552860/boeing-plans-to-sell-off-major-assets-as-the-company-scrambles-to-remain-profitable-and-stay-competi">tough market</a> and regulatory issues following a plane fuselage incident in January.
Earlier this month, Boeing&#8217;s unionized Machinists ended a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/41736062/boeing-workers-end-seven-week-strike-by-accepting-new-contract-with-major-pay-increases">seven-week strike</a> by accepting a new contract with significant pay increases. This deal, supported by the Biden administration and facilitated by Acting U.S. Secretary of Labor Julie Su, marked a significant development in Boeing&#8217;s labor relations.

Boeing Issues Layoff Notices To Over 400 Aerospace Union Workers Amid Financial Struggles

Boeing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BA/news">issuing layoff notices</a> to 17,000 employees as part of a broader effort to rightsize its workforce.
The cuts, totaling 10% of the company's global headcount, come as the plane maker battles financial turbulence, including a shaky stock performance and production slowdowns. 
The layoffs, expected since October, have been confirmed by <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/boeing-starts-issuing-layoff-notices-starting-this-week-2024-11-13/">Reuters</a>, marking yet another step in Boeing&#8217;s ongoing struggle to stabilize.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Challenging Year For Boeing</h2>
The company will provide U.S. workers with 60 days&#8217; notice, in compliance with federal law, keeping them on payroll through January. This move comes as Boeing attempts to regain footing under new CEO Kelly Ortberg, who's juggling:
<ul>
<li>A major financial overhaul,</li>
<li>A union strike, and</li>
<li>A significant production revival effort.</li>
</ul>
The company has struggled throughout 2024, highlighted by a dramatic safety incident earlier in the year and the extended labor strike that just ended on Nov. 5.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Boeing 737 MAX: A Bright Spot Amid Challenges</h2>
Despite these setbacks, Boeing is now focused on reviving production of its cash cow, the 737 MAX, which has faced major setbacks following the strike by 33,000 workers. 
While production is slowly ramping up again, the announcement of layoffs and financial austerity measures is casting a long shadow over employee morale.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Boeing&#8216;s Bearish Sentiment Persists</h2>
But even as Boeing's workforce shrinks, its financial health is under scrutiny. The company raised $24 billion in late October to stabilize its balance sheet, but its stock has been on a steep decline. 
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent111524&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="628" height="456" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/15091536/Screenshot-2024-11-15-at-7.23.38-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-650319" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/15091536/Screenshot-2024-11-15-at-7.23.38-PM.png 628w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/15091536/Screenshot-2024-11-15-at-7.23.38-PM-300x218.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px" /></a></figure>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent111524&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Chart created using Benzinga Pro</a>
Boeing stock is down over 45% year-to-date, with its share price sitting at $138.14—far below key simple moving averages, including the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) of $175.36. 
This technical weakness indicates further risk for the stock, with a current moving average convergence/divergence (MACD) of a negative 3.83 and a relative strength index (RSI) of 32.73 signaling that Boeing stock is nearing oversold conditions.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Can Boeing Soar Again?</h2>
Despite the recent volatility, Boeing&#8217;s efforts to reassert itself, particularly with the MAX, are critical to its future growth. 
However, with the stock stuck in a bearish trend and its workforce facing uncertainty, investors will be watching closely for any signs of recovery. 
The future of Boeing hinges on whether the 737 MAX can continue to take flight—both literally and figuratively.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Powell Speaks The Truth</h3>
Please <a href="https://thearorareport.com/chart-analysis-stock-powell-speech-trump-appointments-spy-mc-11152024">click here</a> for an enlarged chart of SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) which represents the benchmark stock market index S&amp;P 500 (SPX).
Note the following:
<ul>
<li>It is worth a reminder that The Arora Report is politically agnostic.&nbsp; Our sole job is to help our members extract the maximum amount of money out of the markets with the least possible risk.</li>
<li>The price action on the chart shows that the rip roaring Trump rally is taking a breather.</li>
<li>The chart shows that the stock market is still above the breakout line.</li>
<li>RSI on the chart shows that the stock market has pulled back, reflecting a loss of momentum. The stock market is still overbought.</li>
<li>The chart shows that the volume remains low.&nbsp; This indicates that institutional investors are not rushing to buy stocks.</li>
<li>Yesterday, Powell spoke that truth – the market did not like it.&nbsp; Powell said, "The economy is not sending any signals that we need to be in a hurry to lower rates."&nbsp; Powell elaborated, "The strength we are currently seeing in the economy gives us the ability to approach our decisions carefully."</li>
<li>Powell's remarks brought some selling into stocks and bonds.</li>
<li>This morning, in the early trade, selling continues.</li>
<li>The reason for some selling is that the prevailing wisdom on Wall Street has been that another rate cut in December was a sure thing.&nbsp; The Arora Report has been questioning Wall Street's wisdom and sharing with you that the data does not support another rate cut.</li>
<li>Some conservative commentators are upset believing that the reason Powell started rate cuts with a 50 bps cut was to help Kamala Harris get elected.&nbsp; Now that Trump has been elected, Powell is in no hurry to cut rates.</li>
<li>In The Arora Report analysis, even though the data does not support a rate cut in December, Powell is going to feel pressure from Trump and Republicans to cut rates.&nbsp; There is also a significant amount of data between now and the December Fed meeting.</li>
<li>In The Arora Report analysis, based on a 360 degree view, including the political pressure and the pressure from Wall Street to cut rates, the probability of a rate cut in December is now about 60%.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>There is consternation about several Trump picks.&nbsp; Impacting the market most are Trump's picks of RKF Jr, Matt Gaetz, and Pete Hegseth.&nbsp; These picks are bringing selling in vaccine makers such as Moderna Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRNA#NASDAQ">MRNA</a>), BioNTech SE ADR (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BNTX#NASDAQ">BNTX</a>), Novavax Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVAX#NASDAQ">NVAX</a>), Merck &amp; Co Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRK#NYSE">MRK</a>), and Pfizer Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>).&nbsp; There is also selling in other healthcare stocks, including weight loss drug companies Eli Lilly And Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) and Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>), and packaged food stocks such as The Kraft Heinz Co (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KHC#NASDAQ">KHC</a>).&nbsp; There is also selling in defense stocks such as Boeing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>), Lockheed Martin Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>), Northrop Grumman Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOC#NYSE">NOC</a>), and Rtx Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTX#NYSE">RTX</a>).&nbsp; There is also selling in big tech stocks.</li>
<li>The latest economic data is strong.&nbsp; The U.S. economy is about 70% consumer based.&nbsp; For this reason, prudent investors pay attention to retail sales.&nbsp; Here are the details of the just released data:
<ul>
<li>Retail sales came at 0.4% vs. 0.3% consensus.</li>
<li>Retail sales ex-auto came at 0.1% vs. 0.2% consensus.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>There are hundreds of indicators.&nbsp; At The Arora Report, the system has been refined through decades of research to share with you only those indicators that matter.&nbsp; Normally, we do not mention the NY Fed Empire State Manufacturing Index.&nbsp; Today, we are mentioning it due to its exceptional strength.&nbsp; The index came at 31.2 vs. 3.3 consensus.&nbsp; This indicates that manufacturing in the New York area has picked up steam. &nbsp; If similar strength is happening in the rest of the country, that would argue against further cutting interest rates. The problem for investors is that stock valuations are so high that to sustain them, rate cuts are needed.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Magnificent Seven Money Flows</h3>
In the early trade, money flows are positive in Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>).
In the early trade, money flows are negative in Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Alphabet Inc Class C (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>), Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), and NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).
In the early trade, money flows are negative in S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY) and Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>).
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Momo Crowd And Smart Money In Stocks</h3>
Investors can gain an edge by knowing money flows in SPY and QQQ.  Investors can get a bigger edge by knowing when smart money is buying stocks, gold, and oil.  The most popular ETF for gold is SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>).  The most popular ETF for silver is iShares Silver Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLV#NYSE">SLV</a>).  The most popular ETF for oil is United States Oil ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>).
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bitcoin</h3>
Even the slightest dips in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) are being bought.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Protection Band And What To Do Now</h3>
It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.&nbsp; The proprietary protection band from The Arora Report is very popular.&nbsp; The protection band puts all of the data, all of the indicators, all of the news, all of the crosscurrents, all of the models, and all of the analysis in an analytical framework that is easily actionable by investors.
Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider a protection band consisting of cash or Treasury bills or short-term tactical trades as well as short to medium term hedges and short term hedges. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.
You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges.&nbsp; The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.&nbsp; If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.
A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.&nbsp; A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.
It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.&nbsp; When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.&nbsp; High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Traditional 60/40 Portfolio</h3>
Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.
Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less.&nbsp; Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.
The Arora Report is known for its accurate calls. The Arora Report correctly called the big artificial intelligence rally before anyone else, the new bull market of 2023, the bear market of 2022, new stock market highs right after the virus low in 2020, the virus drop in 2020, the DJIA rally to 30,000 when it was trading at 16,000, the start of a mega bull market in 2009, and the financial crash of 2008.

Teledyne Controls, a subsidiary of Teledyne Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TDY#NYSE">TDY</a>) and a provider&nbsp;of avionics and aircraft data management solutions, has announced that its new Airborne Data Loader has received certification for the Boeing Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>)<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/b42006590/teledynes-new-generation-onboard-secure-data-loader-eadl-xs-certified-on-boeing-737ng-aircraft" rel="noreferrer noopener"> 737NG aircraft series.</a>
Certification for additional aircraft platforms is also underway, the company said.
The eADL XS represents a significant advancement in dataloading technology, becoming the first onboard data loader to meet the ARINC 645-1 security standards for OEM secure dataloading.

Teledyne Controls' eADL XS Certified For Boeing 737NG Aircraft, Enhancing Data Security

On CNBC's &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mad-money-lightning-round">Mad Money Lightning Round</a>,&#8221; Jim Cramer said Altria Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MO#NYSE">MO</a>) is &#8220;undervalued,&#8221; but he is not going to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MO/guidance">recommend tobacco stocks</a>.
On Oct. 31, the company reported third-quarter adjusted earnings per share of $1.38. It beat the street view of $1.35. Quarterly sales of $5.334 billion (+1.3%) beat the analyst consensus estimate of $5.326 billion.
Cramer recommended selling Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>).
Super Micro Computer filed a FormNT 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission, indicating that it's unable to file its 2025 fiscal-year first-quarter earnings on time.
When asked about The Boeing Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>), he said, &#8220;I prefer not to be in a stock that is going to lose a lot of money for a long time.&#8221;
According to Reuters, the company reportedly begins issuing layoff notices to employees affected by a major restructuring plan. The plan, which aims to reduce Boeing's global workforce by 17,000 jobs—approximately 10% of its total—comes as the heavily indebted aerospace <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/41950702/boeing-reportedly-plans-furloughs-whats-going-on">giant seeks to cut costs</a>.
Becton, Dickinson and Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BDX#NYSE">BDX</a>) has &#8220;broken down severely,&#8221; Cramer said. &#8220;If Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is going to be the head of HHS, then it's going to hurt a lot of vaccines, it could hurt a lot of their business.&#8221;
On Nov. 7, the company posted better-than-expected results for its fourth quarter.
&#8220;They have a lot of phase one stuff, and phase one is might early. Too early for me to bet on,&#8221; Cramer said when asked about IDEAYA Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IDYA#NASDAQ">IDYA</a>).
On Nov. 4, IDEAYA Biosciences reported a quarterly loss of 60 cents per share, compared to consensus estimates of a loss of 64 cents per share.
&#8220;I just don't know what is wrong,&#8221; Cramer said about AstraZeneca PLC (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZN#NASDAQ">AZN</a>). &#8220;My god is this thing going lower.&#8221;
On Nov. 12, AstraZeneca reported third-quarter sales of $13.57 billion, up 18% year over year (+21% at constant currency), beating the consensus of $13.09 billion.
Price Action:
<ul>
<li>Altria shares rose 0.3% to settle at $55.39 on Thursday.</li>
<li>Super Micro Computer shares dipped 11.4% to close at $18.01.</li>
<li>Boeing shares fell 1.3% to settle at $138.14 during the session.</li>
