Cardano (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ada/usd">ADA</a>) raced past Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) to become the week&#8217;s best performer after a searing double-digit rally on Thursday.
What happened: ADA spiked over 10% in the last 24 hours to reach its highest level since July 23. The rally catapulted the coin to the second spot in the top 24-hour gainers list, far outpacing market heavyweights like Bitcoin and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>).
With the latest upswing, ADA's weekly gains jumped to nearly 22%, making it the best-performing top 10 cryptocurrencies during the last seven days. The coin overwhelmingly surpassed Bitcoin&#8217;s returns over the week spurred by Donald Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41768178/donald-trump-defeats-kamala-harris-to-win-2024-election">victory </a>in the presidential election.

The coin, often dubbed an&nbsp;&#8220;Ethereum Killer,&#8221; witnessed significant interest from whale investors, evidenced by a 31% surge in transactions exceeding $100,000 in value, <a href="https://app.intotheblock.com/">according </a>to IntoTheBlock.&nbsp;
Daily active addresses also rose 21% in the last 24 hours, lending credence to the high network activity.
However, the surge in usage appeared to be driven by profit-taking, as the total balance held by long-term holders of ADA fell by 0.28%.&nbsp;
The latest uptick contrasted with ADA's lackluster year-to-date performance. This year, the coin has lost over 30% of its value, while Bitcoin and Ethereum have gained 71% and 29%, respectively.
Price Action: At the time of writing, ADA was exchanging hands at $0.4134, up 11.65% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Rivian, Draftkings, Block, Pinterest, And Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives predicts Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) could see significant gains under a potential second Donald Trump presidency, particularly in advancing its Full Self-Driving technology.
What Happened: Ives suggested Trump&#8217;s return to office could accelerate Tesla&#8217;s autonomous driving initiatives, in a Bloomberg TV interview, potentially unlocking what he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/41794926/trump-white-house-could-unlock-trillion-dollar-ai-potential-for-tesla-says-dan-ives">estimates as $1 trillion in value</a>.
&#8220;Tesla and [Elon] Musk are the big winners in this Trump sweepstakes,&#8221; Ives said, pointing to possible regulatory fast-tracking of autonomous vehicle technology. He projects the deployment of &#8220;cyber cabs&#8221; could come as early as 2026 or 2027.
The analyst also indicated that a Trump presidency might lead to leadership changes at the Federal Trade Commission, noting that current FTC Chair Lina Khan&#8216;s potential departure could benefit big tech companies&#8217; merger and acquisition activities.

Elon Musk Shines In 'Trump Sweepstakes:' A Big Win For Tesla? Dan Ives Thinks So

Detroit is set to become the first major U.S. city to accept cryptocurrency for taxes and other city fees, top officials from the city said in a Thursday press release.
What Happened: Residents would have the option to use cryptocurrencies to pay for utilities through a secure platform managed by PayPal. This initiative was part of a broader strategy to tap blockchain technology to enhance public services and boost civic engagement in the city.
&#8220;Detroit is fostering a technology-friendly environment that empowers residents and entrepreneurs,&#8221; said Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan. &#8220;We are thrilled to be among the first major U.S. cities to explore blockchain&#8217;s civic applications and offer residents the option to use cryptocurrency for payments.&#8221;

The new payment option is projected to be available by mid-2025, Treasurer Nikhil Patel added. The city would also encourage blockchain innovators to propose their ideas for civic applications to Justin Onwenu, Detroit's first Director of Entrepreneurship and Economic Opportunity.
Williston in North Dakota and Miami Lakes in Florida are the cities that accept cryptocurrencies for utility bill payments, while <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/22/03/26357488/in-colorado-you-can-pay-taxes-in-crypto-will-other-states-follow">Colorado </a>and Utah allow their residents to pay state taxes using digital assets.
Why It Matters: Detroit&#8217;s move to accept cryptocurrency payments aligns with the state of Michigan&#8217;s growing interest in cryptocurrencies. 
According to a recent SEC filing, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41723555/michigan-pension-fund-invests-10m-in-ethereum-etfs-exceeds-bitcoin-holdings">Michigan State Pension Fund invested $10 million</a> in Grayscale Ethereum Trust ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETHE#NYSE">ETHE</a>), the largest Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) exchange-traded fund (ETF) as of this writing.
In doing so, it surpassed its $7 million allocation in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) ETFs. 
Earlier in May, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/05/39006923/university-of-michigan-endowment-increases-its-crypto-investments-follows-harvard-and-yale">University of Michigan&#8217;s endowment increased its investments in cryptocurrency</a>, following the footsteps of Harvard and Yale. The university invested in a crypto fund from Andreessen Horowitz, indicating a growing acceptance of digital currencies among large funds and endowments.

Detroit Becomes First Major US City To Accept Taxes And Fees In Crypto; Mayor Says, 'Fostering a Technology-Friendly Environment'

Leading economists offered contrasting views on Thursday after the Federal Reserve&#8217;s 25-basis-point rate cut, with some warning of persistent inflation risks while others supported the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/11/41826586/wall-street-closes-at-record-highs-after-reassurance-from-powell-magnificent-7-hit-17-trillion-tre">central bank&#8217;s gradual easing approach</a>.
What Happened: Jason Furman, a key figure in 44th U.S. President Barack Obama&#8217;s administration expressed skepticism about the Fed&#8217;s balanced risk assessment, pointing to concerning inflation indicators. 
&#8220;Core PCE inflation is 2.7% (above target),&#8221; Furman noted on X, warning that inflation could climb to &#8220;2.8% or possibly even 2.9%.&#8221; He suggested this trend could complicate the Fed&#8217;s planned rate reduction schedule unless labor markets weaken significantly.

Economist Peter Schiff delivered sharp criticism of Fed Chair Jerome Powell&#8216;s inflation-targeting strategy, citing structural challenges. 
&#8220;The Fed cut interest rates by 25 basis points, claiming they&#8217;re confident they&#8217;ll achieve their long-term inflation target of 2%,&#8221; Schiff wrote on X. &#8220;Powell can&#8217;t possibly believe that, considering a $36 trillion National Debt and the prospect of 2025 tax cuts sending demand and deficits soaring.&#8221;

Wells Fargo struck a more moderate tone, with strategist Luis Alvarado <a href="https://x.com/yahoofinance/status/1854542364607447185?s=46">telling</a> Yahoo Finance they expect &#8220;another [cut] in December,&#8221; while maintaining flexibility about 2025 policy adjustments.
Why It Matters: The Fed&#8217;s decision, which lowered rates to 4.5%-4.75%, came amid robust economic indicators including 2.8% second-quarter GDP growth. Powell dismissed October&#8217;s weak employment data as temporary, citing strikes and weather disruptions.
Markets responded modestly to the day&#8217;s events, with the U.S. Dollar Index dipping 0.07% to 104.44 and the 10-year Treasury yield inching up to 4.353%.
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) closed at $595.61, up 0.77%, with a modest after-hours increase of 0.02%.

The S&amp;P 500 gained 0.74%, reaching a record high of 5,973.10, while the Nasdaq advanced 1.51% to 19,269.46, marking its first close above 19,000. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was largely unchanged, ticking down by less than one point to end at 43,729.34.
S&amp;P 500, Dow, and Nasdaq 100 futures were flat. On the currency front, the Japanese Yen held steady at $0.0065, while the Euro slipped by 0.11% to $1.0788.

Obama-Era Economist Jason Furman Warns Fed's Inflation Outlook May Be Too Optimistic — Peter Schiff Slams Powell's Strategy Amid National Debt Concerns

On Thursday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made significant trades, with Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>), Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), Reddit Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RDDT#NYSE">RDDT</a>), and Amazon.com, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) taking center stage.
The Palantir Trade
Ark Invest&#8217;s move to sell Palantir shares comes amid a tumultuous day for the company. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41808861/whats-going-on-with-palantir-stock-thursday">Palantir&#8217;s shares</a> experienced a rollercoaster ride, initially dipping due to a downgrade from Jefferies, only to bounce back following an announced partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Anthropic.
Despite Jefferies analyst Brent Thill downgrading Palantir from a Hold rating to an Underperform rating due to valuation concerns, the company&#8217;s stock has seen a surge of over 220% since the start of the year. This includes a 30% increase in just the past week, largely driven by strong quarterly results fueled by &#8220;unrelenting&#8221; AI demand.
Ark offloaded 264,513 Palantir shares on Thursday through its ARK Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>) and Ark Fintech Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKF#NYSE">ARKF</a>) funds, with the transaction valued at $14.8 million based on a closing share price of $55.88.
The Tesla Trade
Ark sold 85,019 shares of Elon Musk-led Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>). Wood has been on a Tesla share-selling spree of late. The latest transaction, which came through ARKK, was valued at $25.24 million.
Wood&#8217;s firm estimates that Tesla&#8217;s driverless ride-hailing service could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41593922/cathie-woods-ark-invest-sees-tesla-unlocking-11-trillion-revenue-potential-with-rob">access an $11 trillion revenue</a> market by leveraging low operating costs to undercut existing ride-hailing prices. Tesla plans to debut this service next year in Texas and California, starting with drivers and aiming for fully autonomous rides as regulations allow.
The Reddit Trade
Ark Invest&#8217;s trade with Reddit comes at a time when the company is making significant strides in the social media space. Reddit&#8217;s market cap <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/11/41773982/reddit-overtakes-snap-in-market-value-after-election-day-rally">recently surpassed</a> that of Snap Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNAP#NYSE">SNAP</a>), reaching $21.5 billion after a 12% climb on Election Day. This is a notable achievement for the social media platform operator, which has a user base and revenue one-fourth the size of Snap&#8217;s.

Reddit&#8217;s growing popularity as a source of authentic information is also posing a challenge to Google&#8217;s dominance in the internet search market. This trend was highlighted at a recent conference hosted by The Wall Street Journal, where a journalist revealed she primarily uses Google Search to access Reddit for information.
The Wood-led firm sold 62,389 Reddit shares from its ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#NYSE">ARKW</a>) fund on Thursday, a transaction valued at $8.2 million. Reddit shares closed the day 8.6% higher at $131.44.

Widely-followed cryptocurrency analyst, going by the pseudonym Wolf dubbed Ethereum as the "best" risk/reward asset in the cryptocurrency market.

Amazon.com, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) is reportedly contemplating its second multi-billion-dollar investment in&nbsp;artificial intelligence startup&nbsp;Anthropic, which leverages its cloud services for training.

Last month, U.K. antitrust officials also launched an investigation into whether Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s investment in AI startup Anthropic could stifle competition.
Meanwhile, AI startups have been attracting significant investments. OpenAI&#8217;s valuation&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41149788/openai-valuation-soars-to-157b-in-latest-funding-round">soared to $157 billion</a>&nbsp;following a funding round.

After OpenAI And Perplexity, AI Startup Anthropic May Secure Another Massive Investment — Amazon Reportedly Considers Major Funding

Why allow intermediaries to add unnecessary costs when direct relationships can bring quality to the forefront? As supply chains tighten across industries, Red Mesa Science &amp; Refining is pioneering a streamlined approach to bring minor cannabinoids to market.&nbsp;
By bypassing brokers and relying on an efficient, around-the-clock refinement process, Red Mesa aims to reduce costs, ensure product consistency and empower the true stewards of hemp &#8211; the growers and refiners themselves. 
Jeff Applegate, Red Mesa's president, puts it simply. "Collaborating directly with qualified, experienced farmers and extractors is essential to keeping costs low and quality high." It's a model that prioritizes trust and accountability within every step of the supply chain.

You can't afford to miss out if you&#8217;re serious about the business.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Leverage Instead Of Liability</h2>
Applegate detailed how brokers often disrupt the hemp supply chain by imposing additional costs, sometimes up to 15%, which can hinder farmer&#8217;s profits and drive up expenses for manufacturers, creating an unsustainable model for both sides.
Red Mesa has strategically positioned itself within the cannabinoid supply chain to minimize intermediaries and maintain competitive production costs. "Keeping production costs low is fundamental to industry success," Applegate told Benzinga Cannabis in an exclusive interview. "Collaborating directly with farmers and extractors in a cohesive supply chain is essential to keep our cost of input as a leverage instead of a liability."

"We're seeing less interference now, but reducing reliance on brokers is essential for a cost-effective system. The farmer and the customer need to be directly tied to one another so the farmer gets a fair return," he explained.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Not An Easy Crop</h3>
Sourcing consistent and affordable raw materials has presented a challenge as the hemp industry matures. Applegate explained that an initial oversupply in 2019 led to a rapid decline in hemp farming as prices plummeted. 
"There was an abundance of farmers when the 2018 farm bill was put into place," he said. "The market, the producers, wasn't sufficiently equipped to take all of the output that came. Since 2019, we've had nothing but a declining number of farmers."
"It's not an easy crop to grow at all," Applegate added, noting that hemp requires extensive processing before it can be used in extraction. This contrasts with the cannabis flower market, where crops can be more directly sold.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Inside Red Mesa&nbsp;</h2>
Red Mesa's facility in Utah was initially a cabinet shop before being repurposed for hemp refinement. With its high power capacity &#8211; essential for their machinery &#8211; the location proved ideal.

Applegate described how the production process flows from crude oil intake to distillation. This is further refined through crystallization and chromatography. "In distillation, we have the finished product. It's usually a light yellow to golden color, thicker in viscosity than water, almost syrup-like when warm," he explained.
Once the distillate undergoes crystallization, Red Mesa is left with a white, fluffy powder—ready for B2B sale. "We didn't walk across the bridge to become a white labeler or finished goods company," he said. "Our goal is to create the most coveted, consistent outputs to win the market."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Competitive Edge In Minor Cannabinoids</h3>
Red Mesa's botanical, non-synthetic refinement process sets it apart by isolating rare cannabinoids—such as CBN, CBT, and CBL—directly from hemp without chemical conversions.&nbsp;
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="557" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07165933/Gate-1-Red-Mesa-Science-and-Refining--1024x557.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-636421" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07165933/Gate-1-Red-Mesa-Science-and-Refining--1024x557.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07165933/Gate-1-Red-Mesa-Science-and-Refining--300x163.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07165933/Gate-1-Red-Mesa-Science-and-Refining--768x418.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07165933/Gate-1-Red-Mesa-Science-and-Refining--1536x836.jpg 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07165933/Gate-1-Red-Mesa-Science-and-Refining-.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Gate 1 Red Mesa Science and Refining</figcaption></figure>
"Our botanical refining process generates final outputs derived directly from the hemp plant without the use of catalysts and acids required for chemical conversion processes," Applegate explained.
To achieve this, Red Mesa made substantial investments early on. "To be the first refiner to offer rare minors such as CBN, CBL, and CBT at kilogram scale, we had to make significant investments in large-scale chromatography very early in the company's history," Applegate noted.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Red Mesa Standard: ISO Certification, And FDA Registration</h3>
&#8220;The Red Mesa Standard&#8221; represents a commitment to quality and consistency that Applegate says will set them apart. "We have an end-to-end certification from the beginning of our business to the end," he said, contrasting this with many industry peers who only certify specific departments. Additionally, Red Mesa voluntarily registers with the FDA as a food ingredient company, even though it's not required.

With operations currently running at about 45% of their <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lpxdoVtWow">50,000-square-foot facility</a>, Red Mesa is poised for growth. "We operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week," Applegate shared, adding that they gradually scaled up from single-shift days to continuous operation.
Looking forward, Red Mesa plans to enter the Japanese market in 2025 and establish regional distribution hubs to serve global customers.

While growth is a priority, so too is legislative reform. 
"The lack of clear rules for cannabinoid production is probably the biggest barrier we've seen to adoption. To bring prices down and make cannabinoids more accessible, we need efficient production coupled with thoughtful regulation," Applegate said. 
He emphasized that regulation and cost efficiency will help expand the market by making cannabinoids accessible to a wider consumer base.

No Middleman, No Markup: How Red Mesa Is Slashing Costs With Around-The-Clock Hemp Refinement

Ethereum Classic (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/etc/usd">ETC</a>) has gained roughly 12% to $20.26 since Tuesday evening amid Donald Trump winning the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/41772701/trumps-historic-return-7-ways-his-second-term-could-impact-the-us-economy">2024 presidential election</a>.
Trump&#8217;s win, coupled with the Republican Party regaining Senate control, hints at a shift in U.S. economic policies, potentially involving corporate tax cuts, trade tariffs and measures to combat inflation—factors that could influence both traditional and digital markets.
What To Know: A key driver behind Ethereum Classic's rally is Trump's pro-crypto stance, including his vision of the U.S. becoming a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40671868/trumps-bitcoin-strategic-reserve-proposal-will-chip-away-dollars-status-warns-expert-money">&#8220;Bitcoin superpower.&#8221;</a> This renewed focus on cryptocurrencies as a store of value and inflation hedge has sparked investor interest in digital assets like Ethereum Classic, seen as a secure alternative to newer, more volatile coins.
Trump's anticipated economic policies could increase inflation, with experts predicting up to a 2.4% rise, pushing investors toward cryptocurrencies as a way to safeguard against the dollar&#8217;s decline.

Ethereum Classic has also cultivated a strong following due to its decentralized nature and its adherence to the original Ethereum vision. As retail investors seek safe havens from economic uncertainty, the coin's appeal could grow in an environment marked by rising inflation fears.
As the digital asset market continues to mature, the convergence of regulatory shifts, M&amp;A activities, and adoption trends will define the future of this dynamic field. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/digital-assets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga&#8217;s Future of Digital Assets</a> event in New York City this November will provide industry leaders and investors with a platform to explore these developments further, offering insights into the evolving regulatory environment and the latest market dynamics.

In the wake of Donald Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/41772701/trumps-historic-return-7-ways-his-second-term-could-impact-the-us-economy">2024 presidential win</a>, Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>) has jumped 10% since Wednesday to reach $0.00001944.
Trump's victory, combined with the Republican Party's return to a Senate majority, signals a potential shift in U.S. economic policy that includes corporate tax cuts, high tariffs and an aggressive stance on inflation—factors that could reshape traditional and digital asset markets alike.
What To Know: A key driver of SHIB&#8217;s surge is Trump's pro-crypto stance, marked by his vision of the U.S. as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40671868/trumps-bitcoin-strategic-reserve-proposal-will-chip-away-dollars-status-warns-expert-money">"Bitcoin superpower."</a> Trump's proposal to incorporate Bitcoin into a national reserve has sent ripples through the crypto space, igniting excitement among investors who see digital assets as hedges against economic uncertainty. 
Trump's anticipated policies could stoke inflationary pressures, with JPMorgan analysts projecting up to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/41772701/trumps-historic-return-7-ways-his-second-term-could-impact-the-us-economy">2.4% rise in inflation</a> if trade tariffs are fully enacted. In such an environment, investors often look to alternative assets like cryptocurrencies as protection against the dollar's decline. 
Shiba Inu, with its low entry price and high volatility, is a popular speculative asset among retail investors seeking both growth potential and a potential hedge against macroeconomic risks.

Shiba Inu was created as an Ethereum-based alternative to Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>), branding itself as the "Dogecoin killer." Both coins share a meme-inspired appeal, drawing in retail investors with their playful branding and community-driven support.

President-elect Donald Trump has appointed his campaign leader, Susie Wiles, as his chief of staff. This marks the first time in US history that a woman has been appointed to this influential position.
What Happened: Wiles, a seasoned GOP operative from Florida, will assume her new role when Trump takes office in January. Trump lauded Wiles for her pivotal role in his successful 2016 and 2020 campaigns, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/4979786-susie-wiles-chief-of-staff/">reported</a> The Hill.
&#8220;Susie is tough, smart, innovative, and is universally admired and respected. Susie will continue to work tirelessly to Make America Great Again,&#8221; said Trump, reported The Hill.
He said, &#8220;It is a well deserved honor to have Susie as the first-ever female Chief of Staff in United States history. I have no doubt that she will make our country proud.&#8221;
Wiles, known for her low-profile approach, spearheaded Trump&#8217;s Florida operations during the 2016 campaign and later collaborated with Ron DeSantis (R) on his gubernatorial campaign. However, she left DeSantis&#8217;s team due to escalating tensions.
The chief of staff role, second only to the president in terms of influence, will see Wiles managing Trump and his team, a task that proved challenging during his first term. Trump&#8217;s initial choice for the role, Reince Priebus, was replaced after six months by John Kelly, who later became a vocal critic of Trump.

Why It Matters: Wiles&#8217; appointment comes on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41766547/trump-gives-victory-speech-in-florida-as-winning-pennsylvania-puts-him-at-brink-of-victory-vows-to-f">heels of Trump&#8217;s victory</a> in the 2024 presidential election. Trump&#8217;s win, which he described as &#8220;the greatest political movement of all time,&#8221; was followed by a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41807254/trump-election-raises-odds-of-roaring-2020s-scenario-veteran-wall-street-investor-s">surge in the U.S. stock market</a>, with analysts predicting a new &#8220;Roaring 2020s&#8221; scenario.
On Wednesday, after Trump won the election, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) shot up 2.5% to establish new record highs. The small-caps fund iShares Russell 2000 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>) spiked 5.8%.
However, Trump also hinted at a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/41822473/trumps-potential-health-czar-robert-f-kennedy-jr-rattles-vaccine-stocks-shoot-first-reaction">potential senior role</a> for Robert Kennedy Jr. to advance his &#8220;Make America Healthy Again&#8221; agenda, causing uncertainty in pharmaceutical stocks.
With Wiles at the helm as chief of staff, it remains to be seen how these developments will unfold and shape the course of Trump&#8217;s second term in office.

Donald Trump will return to the White House and will bring major changes to the country's tax, AI and energy policies. RBC Capital Markets analyst Deane Dray highlighted some of the companies that may benefit <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/11/41828468/trump-says-hed-replace-income-taxes-with-tariffs-the-potential-economic-fallout">from Trump's policies. </a>
Fossil Fuel/ Energy Independence: Trump's plans for energy independence would reverse many of the Biden administration's policies in order to reinvigorate the fossil fuel industry. He aims to expand the construction of pipelines, grids, ports and refineries and emphasizes utilizing domestic oil, gas and coal resources. Dray pointed to Flowserve Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLS#NYSE">FLS</a>) and Emerson Electric Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EMR#NYSE">EMR</a>) as potential beneficiaries of Trump's energy policies.

Rollback of IRA/ Reduced Clean Energy Investments: Trump has said he plans<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39854007/trump-says-he-will-end-the-electric-vehicle-mandate-on-day-one-days-after-tesla-ceo-elon-musks-endor"> to eliminate</a> many vehicle emissions standards under the Environmental Protection Agency as well as many EV incentives included in the Biden administration&#8217;s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). 
The RBC analyst again pointed to oil and gas companies as the key companies that could benefit from these potential policy adjustments, but cautioned it is too early to tell what the impacts might be for nuclear power companies. 
More Flexible/Reduced AI Regulation: RBC expects a Trump administration to be in favor of Big Tech and AI developers as he has called for a review of "unnecessary and burdensome regulations" on AI. The firm also pointed out that multi-industry data center-exposed stocks outperformed the sector by 500 basis points the day after Trump won the election. 
Dray said multi-industry companies involved in data centers that could benefit from Trump's less restrictive AI policies include nVent Electric Plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVT#NYSE">NVT</a>) and Eaton Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETN#NYSE">ETN</a>). 
Lower Corporate Tax Rate: Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/10/41623850/trump-vs-harris-how-the-candidates-corporate-tax-proposals-stack-up">shared his plans</a> to lower the corporate tax rate to 15% for companies that make their products in the U.S. The RBC analyst sees lower corporate tax rates could lead to more reshoring from semiconductor and pharmaceutical companies and potentially more investment in the US. 
Dray pointed to Roper Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROP#NASDAQ">ROP</a>) specifically, but most publicly traded companies could benefit from lower tax rates. 
The Takeaway: "The bottom line is that early stock moves are playing out according to script, with the early stock outperformers being the electricals and oil and gas exposed names," Dray wrote.
