Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLUG#NASDAQ">PLUG</a>) shares are trading higher premarket Thursday. The company secured a 25-megawatt (MW) order for its proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer systems from oil companies BP p.l.c. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BP#NYSE">BP</a>) and Iberdrola S.A.&#8216;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBDSF#OTC">IBDSF</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ir.plugpower.com/press-releases/news-details/2024/Plug-Contracts-with-bp-and-Iberdrola-Joint-Venture-to-Supply-25-MW-of-PEM-Electrolyzers-for-bps-Castelln-Refinery-Project-in-Valencia-Spain/default.aspx" rel="noreferrer noopener">joint </a>venture, Castellón Green Hydrogen S.L.
The project will use five 5 MW containerized PEM electrolyzers to decarbonize BP&#8217;s Castellón refinery in Valencia, Spain and is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by 23,000 tons annually.
Plug&#8217;s electrolyzers will be deployed in a project led by BP and Iberdrola to produce green hydrogen, replacing a portion of the refinery&#8217;s current gray hydrogen, which is generated from natural gas.
This partnership with BP marks the start of a long-term collaboration to decarbonize operations, with potential expansion up to 2 gigawatts of electrolysis capacity.
Plug CEO Andy Marsh said, &#8220;The selection of Plug&#8217;s technology for this project serves as a clear example of our established industry expertise and proven technology.&#8221;
&#8220;Industry experts have highlighted the immense market potential for green hydrogen in Europe as being a key factor for reaching European Union decarbonization targets. This presents a significant opportunity for Plug, and we have the market knowledge and technology readily available to make a substantial impact.&#8221;
This month, Plug Power won a contract to support 25 MW of PEM electrolyzers for H2DRIVEN&#8217;s <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40834851/plug-power-secures-contract-with-h2driven-for-25-mw-electrolyzers-enhancing-green-methanol-proje" rel="noreferrer noopener">green methanol project in Portugal</a>.
The contract will provide Technical Evaluation Phase support for 25 megawatts of Proton Exchange Membrane Electrolyzers during the Front End Engineering Design process for a green methanol project in Portugal.
Apart from this, the company received a $10 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to scale its HYPER-Fuel project, which focuses on advanced hydrogen refueling infrastructure&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40735452/whats-going-on-with-plug-power-stock-today" rel="noreferrer noopener">for medium and heavy-duty vehicles</a>.
This funding is part of the DOE&#8217;s $62 million investment in 20 projects across 15 states to advance next-generation clean hydrogen technologies.

Michaël van de Poppe, a well-known cryptocurrency analyst, says there is a beginning of a bull market after the Federal Reserve's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40926729/bitcoin-spikes-above-61-000-as-fed-implements-50-bps-rate-cut">recent decision to cut interest rates</a>.
What Happened: According to his post, van de Poppe is bullish on Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), and decentralized finance (DeFi). He stated, &#8220;The bull market has started. Long #Bitcoin. Long #Ethereum. Long DeFi.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
In another post, van de Poppe elaborated on the recent Federal Open Market Committee meeting, highlighting a significant 50 basis points rate cut. He mentioned that the dot plot suggests additional rate cuts of 50-75 basis points in the coming months, which he views as bullish for cryptocurrencies.
Van de Poppe also noted that the FOMC does not anticipate a significant rise in unemployment, which he believes is crucial for market stability. 
However, he expressed skepticism about the FOMC&#8217;s outlook, predicting a reduction in labor markets and a substantial economic impact that would necessitate quantitative easing to sustain economic momentum.
&#8220;I think they have a wrong view, I suspect that there will be a reduction in the labor markets and a huge impact on the economy, through which QE is required to keep the economy moving forward,&#8221; wrote van de Poppe.

Why It Matters: The announcement from van de Poppe comes on the heels of significant developments in the cryptocurrency market. On Wednesday, Bitcoin surged past the $61,000 mark following the Federal Reserve&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40926729/bitcoin-spikes-above-61-000-as-fed-implements-50-bps-rate-cut">announcement of a 50 basis point rate cut</a>, bringing the federal funds rate down to a range of 4.75% to 5%. 
Additionally, the Federal Reserve&#8217;s decision to cut rates was widely anticipated, with an 85% likelihood leading up to the announcement. This anticipation led to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40931419/bitcoin-and-ethereum-euphoria-built-around-rate-cuts-could-be-ruined-by-retail-traders-say">bullish reaction in both cryptocurrency and traditional equity markets</a>. However, prices quickly reversed as traders executed buy orders.
Former President Donald Trump also made headlines by using Bitcoin to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40932192/trump-pays-up-for-smash-burgers-and-diet-cokes-with-bitcoin-during-new-york-campaign-halt-">pay for smash burgers and Diet Cokes</a> during a campaign stop in New York City. This move was hailed as &#8220;one of the most historic transactions&#8221; and aimed to bolster his support from the crypto community.
Price Action: Bitcoin is currently trading at $62,017.60, up 0.59% in the last 24 hours. Year to date, it has gained 40.30%. Meanwhile, Ether is currently priced at $2,357, rising 2.63% in the last 24 hours. Year to date, it has increased 0.19%, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/login" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Coherent Corp. (NYSE:&nbsp;COHR), a global leader in high-performance optical networking solutions, today announced an uncooled dual-chip 980 nm micro-pump laser delivering a powerful 2x400 mW output. The new laser is delivered in a compact 3-pin module, making it the ideal choice for next-generation coherent transceivers in data center interconnects and in compact single-channel and bidirectional amplifiers for metro and long-haul networks.
Next-generation coherent transmission applications continue to demand amplifiers that can operate efficiently in space- and power-constrained environments and in a wider operating temperature range outside the central office. Single-mode uncooled dual-chip micro-pump lasers from Coherent offer an industry-first output power of 2x400 mW with power consumption of less than 2 W in environments where temperatures can range from -20 to 85 degrees Celsius.
Uncooled modules help address the growing need for energy-efficient communications networks at a lower cost of ownership by reducing overall power consumption and eliminating much of the thermal and power management systems associated with cooled lasers.

Billionaire investor Ray Dalio has highlighted the difficulties faced by the U.S. Federal Reserve as it navigates interest rate cuts amid a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/09/40927293/powell-defends-0-5-interest-rate-drop-as-right-thing-for-the-economy-doubles-down">heavily indebted economy</a>. 
What Happened: On Thursday, Dalio the founder of Bridgewater Associates said that the Fed must balance keeping interest rates high enough to benefit creditors while not excessively burdening debtors, Dalio <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/09/19/ray-dalio-says-the-fed-faces-a-tough-balancing-act.html">said</a> in an interview with CNBC.
The central bank reduced the federal funds rate by 50 basis points on Wednesday to 4.75% to 5%, impacting banks&#8217; short-term borrowing costs.
Dalio expressed concerns about the &#8220;enormous amount of debt&#8221; in the U.S. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40869188/robert-kiyosaki-rings-alarm-bells-over-soaring-us-debt-the-dollar-is-trash">government has spent over $1 trillion</a> on interest payments for its $35.3 trillion national debt this year. 
Despite these challenges, Dalio does not foresee a looming credit event but anticipates a significant depreciation in the value of debt through artificially low real rates. He warned that the path forward might involve monetizing the debt, similar to Japan&#8217;s approach, which could lead to depreciated currency values and lower bond yields.
"I see a big depreciation in the value of that debt through a combination of artificial low real rates, so you won't be compensated," Dalio said.
Dalio concluded by stating that he does not favor debt assets for his portfolio, preferring to underweight them, particularly bonds.

Why It Matters: The Federal Reserve&#8217;s recent rate cut marks the first <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/09/40927293/powell-defends-0-5-interest-rate-drop-as-right-thing-for-the-economy-doubles-down">reduction in more than four years</a>. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell defended the decision, emphasizing the need to support a strong labor market and prevent economic harm. Powell stated, "The time to support the labor market is when it's strong, not when you begin to see layoffs."
Furthermore, the rate cut&#8217;s implications extend to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/24/09/40928301/interest-rates-in-free-fall-what-it-means-for-mortgages-credit-cards-and-your-wallet-a">consumer financial products</a>. The reduction could affect mortgage rates, credit card interest rates, and auto loan rates, potentially easing the financial burden on consumers.
However, the economic <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40933361/jim-cramer-predicts-no-huge-run-for-tech-stocks-after-federal-reserve-cuts-rate-it-">landscape remains complex</a>. Jim Cramer noted that the rate cuts might not significantly benefit tech stocks, suggesting that the market had already anticipated this move.

The International Brotherhood of Teamsters will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/09/40904301/will-kamala-harris-land-teamsters-endorsement-union-leaders-recall-ups-dispute-in-tense-closed-d">not endorse any candidate</a> for U.S. President, the union said on Wednesday.
What Happened: The General Executive Board of the 1.3 million member union elected to not endorse any candidate after receiving &#8220;few commitments&#8221; on union issues from either former President Donald Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris, the union said. 
&#8220;We sought commitments from both Trump and Harris not to interfere in critical union campaigns or core Teamsters industries—and to honor our members' right to strike—but were unable to secure those pledges," Teamsters General President Sean M O'Brien said.
The union also did not find definitive support for either the Democratic party&#8217;s presidential nominee or the Republican party&#8217;s nominee among union members, it said. 
However, results of an electronic poll conducted among union members between July and September showed that a majority of voting members preferred Trump for a possible Teamsters endorsement over Harris by 59.6% to 34%. The union members include freight drivers, warehouse workers, and sanitation workers, among others. 
Why It Matters: The Teamsters Union had endorsed President Joe Biden in 2020. It also endorsed Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012. However, before 2000, it did endorse Republican candidates including Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon.
Other major unions have, however, endorsed Harris. United Auto Workers (UAW) union <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/40087673/kamala-harris-says-proud-to-recieve-uaw-endorsement-spent-entire-career-fighting-for-unions-and-work">endorsed Harris in July </a>and so did the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations.

AMD (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) CEO Lisa Su emphasized the importance of diverse computing solutions in the face of competition with Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) led by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40594137/heres-what-nvidias-jensen-huang-had-to-say-about-amd-ceo-and-his-cousin-lisa-su">her cousin Jensen Huang</a>. 
What Happened: Su stated on Wednesday that there is &#8220;no one size fits all in computing.&#8221;
&#8220;There's no, you know, only one architecture. Actually, you're going to need the right compute for each application,&#8221; she added, during an <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/09/18/amd-ceo-on-nvidia-theres-no-one-size-fits-all-in-computing.html">interview</a> with CNBC&#8217;s Jim Cramer.
Su highlighted that the semiconductor industry benefits from both competition and collaboration among companies.
Su also discussed the future impact of artificial intelligence (AI), predicting that AI will become integral to everyday life across sectors such as business, education, and healthcare. She forecasted the AI accelerator market to reach $400 billion by 2027.
Su concluded by urging patience with tech trends, noting that significant advancements unfold over years, not months.

Why It Matters: The rivalry between AMD and Nvidia has intensified, particularly in the AI sector. Recently, Su highlighted AMD&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40785940/nvidia-rivalry-pushes-amd-to-shift-focus-away-from-flagship-gaming-gpus-as-lisa-su-chases-ai-sup">shift away from flagship gaming GPUs</a> to focus on AI, projecting $4.5 billion in MI300X AI chip sales for 2024. She emphasized that AMD&#8217;s AI roadmap includes the annual release of new AI chips, starting with the MI325 later this year, followed by the MI350 in 2025 and the MI400 in 2026. This move aims to challenge Nvidia&#8217;s dominance in AI chip technology.
The competition is heating up as both companies vie for a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/technicals/24/09/40853499/amd-vs-nvidia-ai-stock-showdown-heats-up-as-market-awaits-next-big-move">larger share of the AI market</a>. As of Sep. 13, AMD&#8217;s stock has risen 39.98% over the past year, while Nvidia&#8217;s has surged 161.90%. Year-to-date, AMD is up 8.80%, and Nvidia has soared 147.33%. Nvidia&#8217;s first-mover advantage in the AI space has helped it amass a market cap of over $2.9 trillion, with AMD trailing at around $245 billion.
Price Action: At the time of writing, AMD was trading 3.18% higher during pre-market on Thursday while Nvidia was up by 2.80%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Nvidia Rival AMD's CEO Says 'There's No One Size Fits All' As AI Chip Race Heats Up

Vice President Kamala Harris is ahead by 2.9 points in veteran pollster Nate Silver&#8217;s forecast model, dubbed Silver Bulletin, with the Democratic candidate <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40808499/trump-vs-harris-debates-results-are-in-flash-poll-shows-resounding-majority-pick-vice-president-as-w">getting a bounce from the debate held on Sept. 10.</a>
Harris&#8217; Lead Swells: The 2.9-point lead Harris now has over her Republican rival Donald Trump compares to the 2.2-point lead she had on the debate day and the 2 points by which she was ahead the day after the debate when none of the post-debate polls results had dropped, Silver said in his substack post on Tuesday.
The results from the latest polls, conducted on Sunday or Monday, show a bigger lead for the vice president, with the lead running to as much as 4.9 points, he noted. &#8220;It&#8217;s possible that Harris is benefiting not just from the debate but also from the favorable news coverage that it's brought her,&#8221; he said. 
Silver clarified that these are a favorable set of polls for Harris as they have Democratic-leaning house effects.
No Assassination Attempt Boost: Another unsuccessful assassination attempt at Trump, this time in Florida, didn&#8217;t create much ripples, Silver said. The first one at a Pennsylvania campaign rally instantly produced a bump in the ex-president&#8217;s poll numbers.
&#8220;The news cycle turns over quickly,&#8221; the polling veteran said.
That said, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40867103/nate-silver-if-trump-loses-he-will-have-let-election-slip-out-of-his-grasp-as-underlying-factors-fav">fundamentals of the race still probably favor</a> Trump, he said, reiterating a view from last weekend.

What State Polls Tell? The results of state polls have been more mixed for Harris, Silver said. USA Today-Suffolk University poll results showed the vice president ahead in the key swing state of Pennsylvania by 3 points, he said, adding that the poll is of high quality. But another poll revealed she was behind in the state by 2 points, he said.
&#8220;State polls are really what matters the most to the model in the end,&#8221; Silver said.
The Odds: Silver said there is now a 25% chance of Harris winning the popular vote but losing the electoral college. But the odds of her losing the popular vote but winning the electoral college is only 0.2%, he said. &#8220;You'll see lots of headlines saying that Harris is leading — but our elections aren't determined by the popular vote,&#8221; he added. 
To make his case, he noted that former Secretary of State and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by 2.1 points in 2016 but lost the electoral college. President Joe Biden won the popular vote by nearly 4.5 points but barely emerged victorious in tipping-point states like Wisconsin, he added.
&#8220;So if Harris is ahead by 3-ish points — in between Clinton and Biden — you can see why the model thinks of the race as a tossup,&#8221; Silver said.
Commenting on Trump, the pollster said the former president and his running mate Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) have made a lot of mistakes in the campaign, the latest being &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40866950/donald-trumps-pet-eating-claims-shaking-up-springfield-ohio">conspiratorial claims about Haitian immigrants</a>.&#8221; 
&#8220;Trump often doesn&#8217;t react well when he's losing ground in the polls,&#8221; he said.
