Caesars Sportsbook Expands Sports Betting Offering In Washington State With Mobile Wagering Launch At Muckleshoot Casino Resort

Investors are on edge in the lead-up to the Wednesday Federal Open Market Committee interest rate decision that is expected to deliver the first cut to the federal funds rate <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40921827/fed-decision-is-here-5-things-investors-need-to-know-ahead-of-wednesdays-pivotal-in">in over four years.</a>
The market is divided on the magnitude of the anticipated rate cut. Traders are assigning a 59% probability to a 50-basis-point cut, while a 41% chance is placed on a more modest 25-basis-point reduction. The size of the rate cut is crucial as it could trigger significant market reactions.
Should the Fed opt for a 50-basis-point cut, it may be perceived as an acknowledgment that interest rates are overly restrictive. This could lead to increased expectations for further rate cuts in the coming months, potentially fueling risk sentiment and driving stock prices higher.
Conversely, a 25-basis-point cut might disappoint investors who are betting on a more aggressive measure.
Since the start of 2022, the S&amp;P 500, tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), has experienced an average move of plus or minus 1.3% during FOMC events, reflecting the market&#8217;s high sensitivity to Fed policy decisions.
Goldman Sachs equity analysts, including John Marshall, analyzed stock movements during the first rate cuts in the previous three Fed easing cycles (Sept. 18, 2007, July 31, 2019 and March 3, 2020).
The data highlights the average moves of several key S&amp;P 500 stocks with liquid options during these periods.

Caesars' petition for new hearing before the high court is denied in case centering on deal to bring new multimillion-dollar gaming technologies to market
LAS VEGAS, Aug. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Nevada Supreme Court has denied a request from Caesars Entertainment to reconsider a case involving Tipping Point Gaming (TPG). TPG had been working closely with Caesars Entertainment (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CZR#NASDAQ">CZR</a>) to bring new gaming technology to market. Caesars now faces a new trial on fraud claims, amongst other tort claims, after the Nevada Supreme Court reversed a decision by former District Court Judge Nancy Allf.
TPG had patented and was working with Caesars to bring new "picture in picture" technology and other valuable, first of its kind technology to casino floors when Caesars filed suit against the gaming technology engineering company.
TPG founder Sam Johnson alleged Caesars prevented him from entering a pending contract with a third party to either invest in or purchase his company. According to court documents, first, Caesars leaned on potential TPG suitor Accel Entertainment to stand down, and Accel agreed to stand down. Then, further according to court documents, when TPG could not disclose a second suitor interested in acquiring TPG due to a nondisclosure agreement, Caesars took intentional actions to kill any deal and keep TPG's product out of the hands of a possible competitor, including filing a meritless lawsuit to chill interest.
