Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump spoke <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">at the Detroit Economic Club</a> Thursday at the Motor City Casino and Hotel. 
At one point, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/21/01/19152983/donald-trump-is-the-first-us-president-to-be-impeached-twice">the twice-impeached former president</a> told the crowd that if Democratic nominee Kamala Harris wins the White House, "our whole country will end up being like Detroit if she's your president." 
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer did not take Trump's comments about Detroit lightly, responding on X: "Detroit is the epitome of &#8216;grit,&#8217; defined by winners willing to get their hands dirty to build up their city and create their communities—something Donald Trump could never understand. So keep Detroit out of your mouth. And you better believe Detroiters won't forget this in November."

Detroit, despite its struggles during the Great Recession, has had significant economic growth throughout the last decade and is viewed as a benchmark for other cities trying to revitalize their economy. 
Dan Gilbert, the founder of Rocket Companies, for example, has pushed billions of dollars into the city to spur economic and population growth.

In addition to denigrating Detroit, Trump&#8217;s two-hour speech veered from topic to topic: the auto industry, tariffs, the economy, rocket ships and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
On <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/inflation">inflation</a>, Trump said he had &#8220;more complaints on grocery.&#8221; 
&#8220;The word grocery,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;It&#8217;s a simple word, but it means, like, everything you eat. The stomach is speaking. It always does. I have more complaints about that, bacon and things going up double, triple, quadruple.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Financial Stocks Drive Wall Street Rally</h3>
The financial sector was the primary driver of Friday's market gains. 
The Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NYSE">XLF</a>) rallied 1.9%, marking its strongest session since November 2023 and hitting a fresh record high. 
The rally came as a wave of U.S. banks reported better-than-expected third-quarter earnings, reinforcing confidence in the sector&#8217;s resilience.
JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) delivered a robust performance, with Q3 earnings per share (EPS) of $4.37, exceeding the $4.00 consensus. 
Shares surged over 4% by mid-morning trading in New York. Goldman Sachs analyst Richard Ramsden highlighted a &#8220;robust beat across every line,&#8221; for the largest U.S. bank.
Wells Fargo Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>) saw its shares soar 6.2% after posting an EPS of $1.42, beating expectations despite cautious guidance on net interest income for the year.
Bank of New York Mellon Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BK#NYSE">BK</a>) also delivered stronger-than-expected results, with BK shares rising 1.8%. 
BlackRock Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>) gained 3.4% after upbeat earnings and revenue, as performance fees sharply surprised estimates. BlackRock shares hit a new record high. 
Other major banks participated in the rally, with Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), Citigroup (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>), Goldman Sachs Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>), and Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) climbing between 2% and 4.8%. Morgan Stanley also set new all-time highs. 
The strength in large-cap banks spilled over to regional players, with the SPDR S&amp;P Regional Banking ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRE#NYSE">KRE</a>) rallying 3.5%. This helped lift the Russell 2000 index, which gained 1.3% and outperformed large-cap counterparts. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Mixed Economic Data Overshadowed by Strong Earnings</h3>
Friday's economic data included a higher-than-expected Producer Price Index (PPI) and a weaker-than-expected Michigan Consumer Sentiment report for October. 
The headline PPI came in at 1.8% year-over-year in September, down from an upwardly revised 1.9% in August, but above expectations of 1.6%. Core producer prices – which exclude energy and food – sharply increased from 2.6% to 2.8% year-on-year, surpassing expectations of 2.7%. 
According to preliminary estimates, the University of Michigan&#8217;s U.S. consumer sentiment index fell to 68.9 in October 2024, down from a five-month high of 70.1 in September and missing forecasts of 70.8.
Year-ahead inflation expectations rose slightly from 2.7% to 2.9%, while the five-year outlook dipped from 3.1% to 3%.
&#8220;Consumers continue to express frustration over high prices. Still, long run business conditions lifted to its highest reading in six months, while current and expected personal finances both softened slightly&#8221;, Surveys of Consumers Director Joanne Hsu said. 
Despite the mixed economic signals, investors focused on the strong bank earnings and remained optimistic about the upcoming corporate earnings season.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Opportunities In Humanoid Robots</h3>
Please <a href="https://thearorareport.com/chart-analysis-stock-market-inflation-humanoid-robots-cybercab-tesla-tsla-mc-10112024">click here</a> for an enlarged chart of Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>).
Note the following:
<ul>
<li>This article is about the big picture, not an individual stock. The chart of TSLA stock is being used to illustrate the point.</li>
<li>The chart shows that TSLA stock ran up in anticipation of the Cybercab event, dubbed by Tesla CEO Elon Musk as We, Robot.</li>
<li>The chart shows that TSLA stock hit the top resistance zone and backed off.</li>
<li>The chart shows a big drop in TSLA stock after the much hyped Cybercab event.</li>
<li>The chart shows that TSLA stock has now fallen in the premarket, significantly below the lower resistance zone.</li>
<li>RSI on the chart shows that TSLA stock is now oversold.</li>
<li>From a technical perspective, the combination of the foregoing is a negative.</li>
<li>In spite of the sell the news reaction, Musk's presentation was impressive.</li>
<li>In The Arora Report analysis, the global revenue opportunity for robotaxis is about $2T, 15 years from now. Tesla is well positioned to capture a meaningful portion of the $2T market.</li>
<li>Tesla bulls are delighted by the details given in Musk's presentation. However, Tesla bears are highly critical that there were not enough details.</li>
<li>Musk showed off humanoid robots dancing and pouring drinks. Musk said that humanoid robots may be the biggest product ever. In The Arora Report analysis, we agree with Musk. Of note, is that Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is hard at work to produce humanoid robots. </li>
<li>The reaction to Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) Advancing AI event has also been to sell the news. AMD bears point to AMD not naming new customers.</li>
<li>Inflation at the producer level came inline with expectations. Here are the details:
<ul>
<li>Headline PPI came at 0.0% vs. 0.1% consensus.</li>
<li>Core PPI came at 0.2% vs. 0.2% consensus.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Earnings season has started. The most important earnings are from the country's largest bank, JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>).  JPM earnings are inline with the whisper numbers. As full disclosure, JPM is in The Arora Report&#8217;s ZYX Buy Core Model Portfolio, long form $34.14.</li>
<li>University of Michigan consumer sentiment will be released at 10am ET and may be market moving.</li>

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) is range bound.
<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.
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. 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. 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.  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. 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.
