Wall Street saw a modest rebound on Wednesday, spurred by an in-line inflation report that reinforced expectations for a December rate cut. The U.S. dollar continued to gain strength, buoyed by potential tariff tailwinds under <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">the new Trump administration.</a>
Bitcoin again captured headlines as it surged past $93,000, lifting its market capitalization to $1.8 trillion and fueling a wave of enthusiasm across crypto markets, with Dogecoin up over 12%.

Occidental Petroleum's Options Frenzy: What You Need to Know

Wall Street saw the first surge in risk aversion after Donald Trump's election victory last week, as concerns grew over potential tariffs and trade policy shifts spurred by the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/41902202/trumps-china-hawks-rumored-for-top-roles-yuan-hits-3-month-low"> incoming administration's key appointments.</a>
Trump is reportedly considering Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) for secretary of state and Rep. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.) for national security advisor. Both are vocal hawks on China and NATO, raising concerns of a tougher U.S. stance that could strain key geopolitical and trade relationships.
Adding to the cautious sentiment, investors are bracing for Wednesday's key inflation data release, with economists forecasting the annual rate to hit 2.6% in October.
As of midday trading in New York, none of the major U.S. equity indices posted gains, while small caps underperformed, with the Russell 2000 down 1.5%. Ten out of 11 S&amp;P 500 sectors traded in the red, with consumer staples the only marking tiny gains.
Chinese stocks suffered steep declines, with major U.S.-listed companies falling between 5% and 9% as worries over potential tariffs spooked investors.
The dollar, viewed as a hedge against tariff risk, strengthened, with a currency-weighted index reaching its highest level since May 2024. 
The Japanese yen slipped past 154.7 per dollar, fully erasing gains from the Bank of Japan's August intervention, while the Chinese yuan and the euro also weakened, with the euro falling below $1.06.
Treasury yields climbed, with the 10-year Treasury yield up eight basis points to 4.42%, pushing the popular iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) down 1.2%.
The cryptocurrency market also faced pressure, with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) down 1.6%. Gold dropped for a third straight day, weighed down by a stronger dollar and higher Treasury yields, as it struggled to attract safe-haven inflows.

Stocks Fall On Tariffs Fears, Dollar Hits 6-Month Peak, Yen Tumbles: What's Driving Markets Tuesday?

As Occidental Petroleum Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OXY#NYSE">OXY</a>) gears up to announce its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/OXY/earnings">third-quarter earnings</a> on Tuesday after the close, investors are asking: Can the oil giant overcome its stock slump?
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Buffett Bets Big As Occidental Struggles: Q3 Earnings On Deck</h2>
Occidental shares have taken a hit this year, down over 15%, while Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has been steadily increasing its stake, now holding 27.25% of the company.
With Wall Street's third-quarter consensus at 74 cents in EPS and $7.23 billion in revenue, analysts and Buffett-watchers alike are eager to see if Occidental can justify the Oracle's vote of confidence.
Buffett's investment rose to 5.93% of Berkshire's portfolio in the second quarter, signaling his bullish outlook — but can OXY deliver?

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Occidental Charts Flash Bearish Signals As Earnings Loom</h2>
OXY's stock chart and recent trading activity isn't exactly inspiring confidence. 
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent111224&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="627" height="452" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/12073935/Screenshot-2024-11-12-at-5.58.16-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-642664" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/12073935/Screenshot-2024-11-12-at-5.58.16-PM.png 627w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/12073935/Screenshot-2024-11-12-at-5.58.16-PM-300x216.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 627px) 100vw, 627px" /></a></figure>

The stock trades below its 20, 50 and even 200-day simple moving averages (SMAs), with a MACD (moving average convergence/divergence) of negative 0.61 and an RSI (relative strength index) of 44.85, indicating continued bearish momentum. 
Though its price of $50.81 sits just above the eight-day SMA of $50.57 (a tentative bullish signal), it's below the key 20-day SMA of $50.99, painting a mixed technical picture.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">VanEck Ups The Ante, Following Buffett's Lead</h2>
OXY's shaky price action didn't stop VanEck Associates from doubling down, <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/instant-alerts/van-eck-associates-corp-increases-holdings-in-occidental-petroleum-co-nyseoxy-2024-11-12/">upping</a> its OXY holdings by 124.5% last quarter, now worth nearly $948,000. 
This institutional boost might indicate confidence in OXY's potential rebound — a sentiment Buffett himself seems to share.
Will Buffett's faith in OXY's future pay off, or are these big bets headed for more turbulence? As Occidental reports earnings, the market's about to find out if the Oracle's faith was well placed.
