4D Molecular Therapeutics Stock Falls After Follow-Up Data From Mid-Stage Study Of Vision Loss Drug Candidate

Former president Donald Trump, once leading in the polls, now finds himself trailing by 4 points after a 9-point swing in the election odds <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/09/40910999/trump-in-trouble-vice-president-harris-has-record-6-point-lead-in-2024-election-poll-after-debat">over the past 9 days</a>.
What Happened: The reversal comes as the race for the 2024 U.S. presidential election intensifies, with Trump losing ground after earlier momentum in August.
According to Polymarket <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/presidential-election-winner-2024?tid=1726751506928">data</a>, Trump's odds of winning the election have slipped significantly since Sep. 10, which was right before <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">the first debate</a> with Vice President Kamala Harris.
At that time, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40493514/donald-trump-now-leads-kamala-harris-by-5-points-after-10-point-election-odds-turnaround-i">Trump was positioned favorably</a>, but <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/09/40824831/harris-vs-trump-swing-state-voters-pick-presidential-debate-winner-share-thoughts-on-immigration">unfavorable polls following the debate</a> have shifted voter sentiment and brought about the notable change in his standing.
The former President continues to slip in the election odds, with Vice President Harris building on her small lead from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40918151/kamala-harris-edges-into-50-48-election-betting-odds-lead-but-this-billionaire-warns-he-wi">24 hours ago</a>.
Electionbettingodds.com, a <a href="https://electionbettingodds.com/">site</a> aggregating election odds from different sources, even shows an almost 8-point lead for the Vice President, who is ahead by 53.3% to Trump&#8217;s 45.6%.

Why It Matters: The shifting dynamics of the presidential race echo concerns raised by Anthony Scaramucci, founder of SkyBridge Capital, who has warned about the potential risks of Trump's divisive presence in the political landscape.
"Trump is a polarizing person. He's for it," <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40934959/anthony-scaramucci-says-donald-trump-is-a-polarizing-person-but-pulling-democrats-along-on">Scaramucci said at a panel</a>, highlighting how Trump's influence could further divide opinions on key issues, including cryptocurrencies and broader economic policies.
The former White House Communications Director also commented on the Vice President&#8217;s stance on cryptocurrencies, saying he is working with other bitcoin advocates on &#8220;distancing&#8221; her from SEC Chair Gary Gensler.
These developments will likely be a major topic at Benzinga's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/digital-assets/agenda/">Future of Digital Assets</a> event on Nov. 19, where industry leaders will discuss how the outcome of the election could impact markets, including digital assets and the broader financial landscape.

Shares of Chinese tech giant Baidu Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>) rose 3% to $87.24 Thursday afternoon after the Federal Reserve&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40944143/wall-street-breaks-records-chipmakers-rally-tesla-hits-2-month-high-as-fed-cut-drives-risk">unexpected decision</a> Wednesday to cut interest rates by 50 basis points. Shares of US-listed Chinese stocks are also possibly trading higher ahead of expectations that the People&#8217;s Bank of China will cut rates.
The Fed's move, which lowers the federal funds rate to a range of 4.75% to 5%, sparked renewed optimism for global tech stocks, particularly Baidu, which is heavily reliant on growth and innovation capital.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Global Liquidity Boost Favors Baidu's Innovation Initiatives</h3>
The rate cut is expected to increase global liquidity, making borrowing cheaper and more accessible. This benefits Baidu significantly, as the company has been aggressively investing in cutting-edge AI technologies, autonomous driving and cloud computing. 
Lower borrowing costs can ease financing for these capital-intensive projects, enabling Baidu to accelerate its innovation without excessive financial burden.
Analysts have long highlighted that Baidu's expansion into AI-driven businesses, such as its Apollo autonomous driving platform and Ernie AI model, requires substantial upfront investment. With the Fed's new rate trajectory suggesting more cuts ahead, the cost of capital will likely continue to fall, providing a favorable environment for Baidu to execute its strategic growth initiatives.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Weaker U.S. Dollar Enhances Foreign Revenue</h3>
The Fed's decision has also led to a weakening U.S. dollar, which works to Baidu&#8217;s advantage. As a company with significant international exposure through its cloud services and AI products, Baidu stands to gain from a more favorable exchange rate. 
A weaker dollar boosts the purchasing power of foreign customers and increases the value of Baidu's overseas revenue when repatriated to China. This exchange-rate benefit could further improve Baidu&#8217;s earnings outlook, a key factor that investors are betting on.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy BIDU Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Baidu&#8217;s case, it is in the Communication Services sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, BIDU has a 52-week high of $136.53 and a 52-week low of $79.69.

West Virginia should legalize recreational cannabis and join the growing number of states that already took that step. That's according to Huntington Mayor Steve Williams, who is a Democratic candidate for governor of the Mountain State.
Voters should weigh in on the issue via a statewide constitutional amendment, Williams said this week, <a href="https://wvmetronews.com/2024/09/18/williams-adults-should-have-a-choice-about-recreational-marijuana-morrisey-im-not-for-adding-more-drugs-into-our-state/">reported</a> WV MetroNews. He added cannabis reform would have to get the green light from the state's legislature as well, in order to become law.
"West Virginia has an opportunity to join the growing number of states, including Maryland, Ohio, Virginia and Washington, D.C., that have taken bold steps to legalize cannabis, and I believe it's time we give the people a voice on this issue," Williams said. "One avenue to move forward is to put legalization on the ballot and let voters decide."
In addition to having a positive effect on the state's tax revenues that would then be allocated to education, health care and infrastructure projects, cannabis policy change would also create more jobs while boosting businesses and tourism, Williams continued.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/cannabis-conference/"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="970" height="250" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/19113810/ccc-oct-24-banner__1_-30.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-556612" /></a></figure>
Williams also praised the benefits of a regulated cannabis industry. "By legalizing and regulating cannabis, we can create a safer, controlled environment for consumers and ensure that products are tested and free from harmful substances," he said.
Williams supports cannabis policy change in a state that's facing a grim reality as tit has the highest rate of fatal fentanyl overdoses in the nation. The trend resulted in 80.9 deaths per 100,000 people in 2022, <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/states/westvirginia/wv.htm">according</a> to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Williams' GOP Opponent Is Against Weed Legalization</h1>
That said, West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, who secured the Republican nomination in the state governor race in May, doesn't see the legalization of cannabis as the answer to the substance use disorder crisis statewide.
Williams criticized his stance on cannabis, suggesting Morrisey is under the influence of the pharmaceutical industry.
"My opponent opposes legalization because Big Pharma opposes it," Williams said. "Patrick Morrisey wants to protect a lucrative revenue stream that has made billions for Big Pharma while wreaking havoc and bringing misery and death to West Virginia."
Interestingly, Morrisey's partisan colleague, state Senate President&nbsp;Craig Blair (R) is of a different stance, as he previously called <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/01/36563305/gop-state-senate-pres-pushes-for-legalized-marijuana-to-combat-west-virginias-fentanyl-crisis">for marijuana legalization</a> as a possible means to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/01/36694868/another-push-to-legalize-recreational-cannabis-in-west-virginia-amid-fentanyl-crisis">address the state&#8217;s fentanyl crisis.</a>
&#8220;My gut tells me it might not happen this year," Blair&nbsp;<a href="https://wvpublic.org/firefighter-funding-cybersecurity-cannabis-discussed-at-legislative-lookahead/">said</a> at an annual event sponsored by the West Virginia Press Association. "But you're going to see it sooner than later because that is a way to combat the issue."
Either way, previous attempts to legalize recreational cannabis statewide have all failed. Del.&nbsp;Evan Hansen's (D)&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wvlegislature.gov/bill_status/bills_text.cfm?billdoc=hb4873%20intr.htm&amp;yr=2024&amp;sesstype=RS&amp;i=4873">House Bill 4873</a>, introduced in January, which&nbsp;would have legalized marijuana for adults over 21, allowed cannabis sales by licensed operators and provided labeling regulations, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/01/36694868/another-push-to-legalize-recreational-cannabis-in-west-virginia-amid-fentanyl-crisis">died in a committee.</a>

Candidates For West Virginia Governor Are Split Over Weed Legalization: Here's What Voters Should Know

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and the wider digital asset market are expected to experience sustained growth following the U.S. Federal Reserve's decision to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40913751/50-or-25-bps-fed-rate-cut-markets-and-economists-at-odds-what-does-steeper-reduction-mean-for-in">cut interest rates by 50 basis points</a>, according to Geoff Kendrick, head of forex and digital assets research at Standard Chartered.
What Happened: Kendrick pointed out that while political factors, including the upcoming U.S. presidential election, still play a role, macroeconomic trends are now the primary drivers of digital asset prices, The Block <a href="https://www.theblock.co/post/317357/bitcoin-set-for-rally-after-federal-reserve-rate-cut-standard-chartered-says?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss">reported</a>.
He noted that the recent Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, which resulted in a rate cut, has significantly boosted digital assets.
&#8220;Post the FOMC meeting, digital assets are at the top of the pack in terms of performance, for the first time in a while,&#8221; he stated in an email on Thursday. 
He also pointed out that this surge in performance comes even as election predictions show a close contest, with Polymarket indicating a 52/47 lead for Kamala Harris.
However, Kendrick believes that the influence of the U.S. presidential election on Bitcoin's price has diminished compared to previous cycles. 
&#8220;While the U.S. election is important, macro drivers are starting to take over,&#8221; he explained. He specifically highlighted the U.S. Treasury yield curve, saying, &#8220;I watch the U.S. 2s10s curve, and a steeper U.S. yield curve is digital asset positive.&#8221;
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/digital-assets/"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="300" height="250" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/27091545/Benzinga-conference.gif" alt="Benzinga future of digital assets conference" class="wp-image-267246" /></a></figure>

The yield curve, which had been inverted since July 2022, has recently returned to a positive slope, indicating a shift in market sentiment that could further support digital asset prices. 
Kendrick also sees the potential for increased investment in spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the coming months, which could provide additional tailwinds for the market.

Nintendo ADR (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTDOY#OTC">NTDOY</a>) and The Pokémon Company have officially filed a lawsuit against Tokyo-based indie game developer Pocketpair, accusing the studio of infringing on multiple patents with its game <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/09/40859915/palworld-going-free-to-play-developer-weighs-bold-yet-difficult-move">Palworld. </a>
The lawsuit, filed on Sept. 18, seeks &#8220;an injunction to halt the infringement and compensation for damages,&#8221; Nintendo&#8217;s press release <a href="https://www.nintendo.co.jp/corporate/release/en/2024/240919.html">states.</a>
In response to the suit, Pocketpair <a href="https://www.pocketpair.jp/news/news16">said:</a> &#8220;At this moment, we are unaware of the specific patents we are accused of infringing upon, and we have not been notified of such details.&#8221;
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/06/39491189/pok-mon-palworld-controversy-teaches-this-developer-a-lesson-i-try-to-avoid-creating-new-things">Pokémon, Palworld Controversy Teaches This Developer A Lesson: &#8216;I Try To Avoid Creating New Things&#8217;</a>
The legal move follows months of fan speculation that Palworld, an early-access title often dubbed &#8220;Pokémon with guns,&#8221; had crossed into territory protected by Nintendo's intellectual property. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Nintendo's Lawsuit</h3>
&#8220;Nintendo will continue to take necessary actions against any infringement of its intellectual property rights, including the Nintendo brand itself, to protect the intellectual properties it has worked hard to establish over the years,&#8221; the company said in its official statement.
Pocketpair's Palworld launched in January 2024 and immediately gained attention, both for its fresh take on the survival crafting genre and for the controversy surrounding its uncanny similarities to Pokémon. 
Fans were quick to point out parallels between Pocketpair's creatures, known as "Pals," and popular Pokémon designs. Pocketpair, however, defended its work, insisting that Palworld is more aligned with games like Ark: Survival Evolved and Valheim.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Pocketpair&#8217;s Reacts To Lawsuit</h3>
While pledging to cooperate with legal proceedings, Pocketpair expressed concern over the toll this lawsuit could take on indie developers: &#8220;It is truly unfortunate that we will be forced to allocate significant time to matters unrelated to game development due to this lawsuit.&#8221;
Pocketpair added that despite the lawsuit, it remains committed to improving Palworld and continuing its development. The developer apologized to fans for any concerns the legal dispute may cause and assured players that the game would not be affected in the short term.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Palworld's Success</h3>
Palworld was a breakout hit upon its early-access release on Steam and Xbox Game Pass. Priced at $30, the game quickly climbed the charts, breaking records for sales and concurrent players. 
It was lauded for its deep survival mechanics and the unusual combination of creature collection and combat. However, the game's similarities to Pokémon—particularly in the design of its creatures—became a talking point for players and critics alike.
Some of the creature designs in Palworld bear an undeniable resemblance to Pokémon. For example, Palworld&#8217;s electric Pal, Sparkit, draws comparisons to the iconic Pikachu, while others, like Pengullet, remind players of the Pokémon Piplup. 
Pocketpair has acknowledged these similarities but has consistently maintained that the designs are original and part of the game's broader survival gameplay.

Descartes Systems (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dsgx#NASDAQ">DSGX</a>) recently expanded its portfolio with the acquisition of Assure Assist, Inc., operating as MyCarrierPortal (&quot;MCP&quot;). MCP is renowned for its carrier onboarding and risk monitoring solutions for the trucking industry, enabling freight brokers and shippers to manage their carrier networks efficiently. The initiative is aimed at bolstering DSGX&#39;s capabilities in fraud prevention and compliance within the trucking industry.
Descartes&#39; acquisition of MCP involves an up-front consideration of $24 million in cash, with the potential for an additional $6 million in performance-based consideration. This earn-out depends on the joined forces achieving specific revenue-growth targets over the next two years, with payouts expected in fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2027.
Over the past years, the trucking industry has witnessed a surge in carrier fraud and cargo theft. Due to this, there has been a heightened demand for robust solutions that help brokers and shippers navigate these logistics challenges. MCP&#39;s platform streamlines the complex task of onboarding carriers, gathering and screening their information to ensure compliance with industry regulations. By scrutinizing truck carriers for legitimacy, insurance coverage and safety records, MCP helps freight brokers mitigate risks in transporting goods.
<h2>Merging DSGX MacroPoint FraudGuard Tool With MCP Solution</h2>
The cutting-edge solution, when paired with MCP&#39;s onboarding and risk-monitoring solution, creates a swift process where carriers are examined, monitored and tracked in real-time. In addition, any fraudulent activities observed during the onboarding or monitoring phases are immediately addressed, allowing brokers and shippers to take quick action and minimize potential risks.
Descartes MacroPoint, a solution that provides real-time visibility and tracking of shipments, has been a powerful tool for brokers and shippers. With the addition of the FraudGuard feature in April 2024, it enables customers to detect and prevent fraudulent carrier activities more effectively. Carriers can seamlessly integrate with the solution via GPS-based electronic logging devices, transportation management systems, or mobile app-based tracking methods.
The transportation industry is currently dealing with two of the most pressing issues - carrier fraud and cargo theft. DSGX&#39;s latest deal not only addresses critical challenges in the logistics industry but also improves overall supply chain performance by empowering freight brokers and shippers seeking robust Know-Your-Carrier capabilities. MCP&#39;s platform complements Descartes&#39; existing investments in logistics technology, enabling customers to manage the entire lifecycle of shipments in a secure, efficient manner.
<h2>DSGX&#39;s Strategic Buyouts Buoying Revenues</h2>
Acquisition and innovation remain at the forefront of Descartes to foster top-line growth. In the last reported quarter, DSGX revenues soared 14% year over year to $163.4 million, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.8%. Synergies stemming from the acquisition of BoxTop Technologies during the quarter, along with OCR and Thyme ASD buyouts settled in the fiscal first quarter with GroundCloud and Localz acquisition in 2024, drove the top-line performance.
In June 2024, it acquired England-based BoxTop Technologies Limited for $13 million (or &pound;10.25 million) in an all-cash transaction. The acquisition will integrate BoxTop solutions with its Global Logistics Network platform. The initiative is likely to broaden the network&#39;s reach and capabilities, providing customers with even greater efficiency and visibility across their supply chains.
However, uncertainty prevailing over global macroeconomic conditions, geopolitical instability and volatile supply-chain issues remain headwinds.
Based in Canada, Descartes provides software-as-a-service logistics solutions to businesses, including transportation and logistics, manufacturing, retail and healthcare.
<h2>DSGX&#39;S Zacks Rank &amp; Stock Price Performance</h2>
At present, DSGX has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell). Its shares have gained 36.8% compared with the sub-industry&#39;s growth of 29.4% in the past year.

United States Steel Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/X#NYSE">X</a>) shares <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/09/b40936984/united-states-steel-corporation-provides-third-quarter-2024-guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">are trading higher on Thursday.</a>
The company&nbsp;provided third-quarter 2024 adjusted net earnings per share guidance of $0.44 to<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener"> $0.48 versus an estimate of $0.39.</a>
In the third quarter of&nbsp;2024, adjusted EBITDA is expected to be approximately $300 million, compared to the prior outlook range of&nbsp;$275 million&nbsp;to $325 million. In the second quarter, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/08/b40114614/united-states-steel-corporation-reports-second-quarter-2024-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">adjusted EBITDA was $443 million.</a>
&#8220;Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $300 million is in-line with our prior third quarter outlook and reflects resilient domestic flat-rolled steel demand amid a bottoming steel pricing environment,&#8221; said President and Chief Executive Officer David B. Burritt.

The CEO noted that challenging pricing dynamics are being somewhat mitigated by the diverse order books in the North American Flat-Rolled segment.
However, he mentioned that Europe is experiencing softening demand, leading to the temporary idling of Blast Furnace #1 after a planned 30-day outage due to weak customer demand.
Additionally, the CEO highlighted ongoing pressure in the Tubular segment from a weak pricing environment.
The CEO also indicated that pricing headwinds are anticipated to be partially alleviated by lower metallics costs. He also mentioned that about $40 million in expected start-up and one-time construction costs are factored into the segment&#8217;s adjusted results, primarily reflecting the new Big River 2 mini mill, which is expected to begin operations in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Burritt concluded, &#8220;We continue to progress through the U.S. regulatory reviews of the pending transaction with Nippon Steel, and are confident in our ability to achieve these approvals. We continue to work towards closing the transaction by the end of the year.&#8221;
Price Action: X shares are trading higher by 2.47% to $37.69 at last check Thursday.

Wednesday, Oak Street Health, a subsidiary of CVS Health Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVS#NYSE">CVS</a>), agreed to settle for $60 million following allegations that it violated the False Claims Act.
The <a target="_blank" href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/oak-street-health-agrees-pay-60m-resolve-alleged-false-claims-act-liability-paying-kickbacks" rel="noreferrer noopener">claims</a> involved paying kickbacks to third-party insurance agents to recruit seniors to its primary care clinics, a practice that led to false Medicare submissions.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/08/40437498/pharmacy-chains-like-cvs-health-walgreens-boots-alliance-confront-shifting-consumer-habits-and-pro" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pharmacy Chains Like CVS Health, Walgreens Boots Alliance Confront Shifting Consumer Habits And Profit Pressures</a>.
The allegations center around Oak Street Health&#8217;s Client Awareness Program, launched in 2020, which aimed to increase membership through third-party insurance agents.
These agents targeted seniors enrolled or eligible for Medicare Advantage (MA) plans, directing them toward Oak Street's services.
In exchange, agents received approximately $200 per referral, incentivizing them to prioritize financial gain over seniors&#8217; best interests.
This behavior violated the Anti-Kickback Statute, which prohibits offering payment to induce patient referrals under federally funded programs like Medicare.
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) claimed that Oak Street Health knowingly submitted false claims to Medicare between September 2020 and December 2022 due to these illegal kickbacks.
"Health care providers that attempt to profit from kickbacks will be held accountable," said Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Brian M. Boynton, head of the Justice Department&#8217;s Civil Division. "We are committed to rooting out illegal practices committed by Medicare Advantage providers, insurance agents and brokers that undermine the interests of federal health care programs and the patients they serve."
Additionally, the settlement resolves claims brought under the whistleblower provisions of the False Claims Act by Joseph Stinson. Stinson will receive $9.9 million as part of the settlement.
Last week, Walgreens Boots Alliance&nbsp;Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBA#NASDAQ">WBA</a>)&nbsp;agreed to pay $106.8 million to settle allegations that it submitted false claims to government healthcare programs, violating the False Claims Act&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/09/40881893/walgreens-agrees-to-106-8m-settlement-over-alleged-false-billing-claims" rel="noreferrer noopener">and state regulations</a>.
