The FDA Approves Sanofi's Sarclisa (Isatuximab) In Combination With Bortezomib, Lenalidomide, And Dexamethasone As A First Line Treatment For Adult Patients With Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma Who Are Not Eligible For Autologous Stem Cell Transplant

General Motors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) will lay off 1695 employees at its Fairfax Assembly and Stamping plant in Kansas City, according to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification notice&nbsp;dated Sept. 19.
What Happened: The plant currently manufactures the Cadillac XT4 and the Chevrolet Malibu. 
In May, GM said that the production of the Chevrolet Malibu <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38722473/gm-kicks-one-more-iconic-gas-powered-chevy-car-to-the-curb-as-ev-focus-sharpens">would end in November</a>. Production of the XT4 in Kansas will also be paused after January 2025. 
The plant will then be retooled and will resume production in late 2025 with the next generation of Chevrolet Bolt EVs and the XT4, the company then said. 
GM did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8216;s</a> request for comment on whether the layoffs are part of the production halt.
Why It Matters: The Chevrolet Bolt was GM&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39612749/60-000-cadillac-lyriq-drives-gms-q2-ev-sales-after-bolt-is-discontinued">best-selling electric vehicle</a> until the company stopped production of its previous generation in December. 
GM&#8217;s autonomous driving unit Cruise will also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39903020/gms-cruise-abandons-pedal-less-origin-autonomous-vehicle-pivots-to-next-generation-chevrolet-bolt-in">use the next-generation Bolt for its autonomous driving operations</a> in the future, company CEO Mary Barra said in July.
It is unclear if the layoffs are temporary until the company resumes production later next year.

General Motors To Lay Off About 1700 Employees Ahead Of Chevrolet Malibu Phase-Out And Re-Tooling For EV Production

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed a decline in the overall market sentiment, while the index remained in the &#8220;Greed&#8221; zone on Friday.
U.S. stocks settled higher on Friday, with the Dow Jones index settling at a record high during the session. The US Federal Reserve, on Wednesday, slashed interest rates by 50 basis points Wednesday at its September Federal Open Market Committee meeting, lowering the federal funds rate to a range of 4.75% to 5%.
All three major indices recorded weekly gains, with the S&amp;P 500 gaining around 1.4% and adding more than 19% in 2024. The Dow gained around 1.6% last week, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq jumped around 1.5% during the week.
FedEx Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDX#NYSE">FDX</a>) shares dipped over 15% on Monday after the company reported worse-than-expected first-quarter financial results and cut FY25 guidance.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a negative note, with industrials, materials and information technology stocks recording the biggest losses on Friday. However, utilities and communication services stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session higher.
The Dow Jones closed higher by around 38 points to 42,063.36 on Friday. The S&amp;P 500 fell 0.19% to 5,702.55, while the Nasdaq Composite dipped 0.36% to 17,948.32 during Friday's session.
Investors are awaiting earnings results from AAR Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AIR#NYSE">AIR</a>) and Red Cat Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RCAT#NASDAQ">RCAT</a>) today.
What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
At a current reading of 62.9, the index remained in the &#8220;Greed&#8221; zone on Friday, versus a prior reading of 65.1.
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

Uxin Limited Expects Q2 Revenue Of RMB480M-RMB500M

Ahead of a critical U.S. visit, Ukraine&#8217;s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to discuss his &#8220;victory plan&#8221; to end the war with Russia with key American leaders.
What Happened: Zelenskyy is traveling to the United States this week to present a &#8220;victory plan&#8221; to President Joe Biden and his potential successors, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, according to Reuters on Monday.
The Ukrainian leader aims to influence U.S. policy on Ukraine&#8217;s war with Russia which began in February 2022, regardless of the outcome of the upcoming U.S. elections. Zelenskyy will address the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday.
Zelenskyy stated that if the plan is supported by the West, it could have a significant impact on Moscow, potentially compelling Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war diplomatically. He emphasized the plan&#8217;s urgency, outlining steps to be taken by strategic partners until the end of December.
The trip comes at a critical moment for Ukraine, with the Nov. 5 U.S. presidential election potentially altering Washington&#8217;s policy on Ukraine. Trump has indicated a possible reset, while Harris has accused him of seeking Kyiv&#8217;s swift capitulation.
U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan mentioned that Biden is eager to discuss Zelenskyy&#8217;s comprehensive strategy for success in the war. Zelenskyy is expected to press for long-term assurances of aid and possibly call for authorization of long-range strikes into Russia.

Why It Matters: The visit follows Zelenskyy&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40597402/ukrainian-president-zelenskyy-plans-to-present-comprehensive-strategy-to-biden-to-end-war-with-russi">announcement in late August</a> about presenting a comprehensive strategy to Biden, emphasizing that the war can only end through dialogue if Kyiv is in a strong position. This plan includes Kyiv's recent incursion into Russia's Kursk region and other economic and diplomatic measures.
In July, the U.S. committed an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/40029762/us-commits-additional-1-7b-in-military-aid-to-ukraine-amid-ongoing-conflict-with-russia-bringing-tot">additional $1.7 billion</a> in military aid to Ukraine, bringing the total package to $55.4 billion. This aid includes munitions and support for air defense systems, highlighting the ongoing U.S. support for Ukraine&#8217;s defense efforts.
However, the stakes are high. Earlier this month, Putin warned that the use of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40851131/russian-president-says-ukraines-use-of-long-range-missiles-would-signal-that-us-and-nato-are-at-war">Western-made long-range missiles</a> by Ukraine could lead to a direct military confrontation between Russia and the West. Zelenskyy has been lobbying for Western allies to permit Ukraine to deploy these missiles to limit Moscow's attack capabilities.

Ahead of the holiday season, Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40912814/amazon-told-its-staff-they-must-come-to-office-five-days-a-week-but-its-primary-healthcare-subsi">enforcing a return-to-office five days a week mandate</a>, clashing with the UK government&#8217;s push for flexible working rights.
What Happened: Amazon argues that in-office work fosters better invention, collaboration, and connection among employees. However, the UK government links flexible working to improved performance and a more loyal workforce, <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cden9y37e6ro">reported</a> BBC.
Microsoft&#8216;s study during the pandemic indicated that remote workers collaborated more within existing networks but built fewer new connections. Real-time communication also declined, replaced by more emails and instant messages.
Contrastingly, a Stanford University study found that Chinese home workers were 13% more productive due to fewer breaks and sick days. However, fully remote work could lead to a 10% drop in productivity compared to full-time office work.
Other tech giants like Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, and Morgan Stanley have also required employees to return to the office. Elon Musk&#8216;s companies, Tesla and SpaceX, enforce similar policies, with SpaceX losing 15% of its senior employees after implementing the rule, according to a <a href="https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/RTO.pdf">study</a> published earlier this year.
The debate continues as the UK government believes that some level of home working boosts productivity, while Amazon maintains that full-time office work is essential for their operational success.

Why It Matters: The clash between Amazon and the UK government over remote work policies is part of a broader trend among major corporations. Recently, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon called for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40967938/jpmorgan-ceo-jamie-dimon-calls-for-federal-employees-to-return-to-office-says-empty-buildings-bother">federal employees to return to their offices</a>, expressing frustration over empty buildings in Washington, DC.
Amazon&#8217;s decision to end remote work and mandate office presence <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/09/40930357/amazon-ends-remote-work-former-employee-asks-if-this-is-the-companys-version-of-silent-sacking">starting in January</a> has sparked significant attention. Former employees, like John McBride, have criticized the move, suggesting it may be driven by economic factors to reduce headcount and boost margins.
Additionally, Amazon has been making headlines with its recent initiatives. The company announced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40927136/amazon-boosts-worker-pay-to-over-29hour-invests-2-2b-as-holiday-kicks-in">pay increase for its front-line employees</a>, raising the average compensation to over $29 per hour and investing $2.2 billion ahead of the holiday season.
However, Amazon&#8217;s new benefits, such as free Prime membership, are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/09/40954565/amazon-extends-free-prime-membership-to-warehouse-workers-but-corporate-staff-left-out-ahea">exclusively available to warehouse workers</a>, leaving corporate staff out.

Amazon Has Enforced Full-Time Return To Office Policy, But It Hasn't Gone Down Well With The UK Government, Which Is Pushing For Flexible Working As Holiday Season Approaches: Here's What's Happening

The S&amp;P 500 Index &#8211; a measure of broader market performance, has been on a tear this year, thanks to inflation&#8217;s downward trajectory that allowed the Federal Reserve the leeway to cut rates, the resilient economy and robust corporate profit growth. With the year approaching its last leg, the question in the minds of everyone is whether the broader uptrend seen since the bear market bottom of Oct. 2022 would continue.
Gravity-Defying Rally: After the post-COVID-19 inflation surge sent markets across the globe lower in 2022, things began to take a turn for the better by the end of the year. The launch of OpenAI&#8217;s ChatGPT large language model-powered chatbot and the pullback in inflation from the June 2022 peak of 9.1% in response to aggressive Fed funds rate hikes helped restore sanity in the market.
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), an exchange-traded fund that tracks the S&amp;P 500 Index, has gained about 65% since bottoming at $346.35 on Oct. 12, 2022. This year alone, the ETF had soared nearly 21%.

S&amp;P Goes Past Most Year-End Predictions: Wall Street&#8217;s year-end estimate for the S&amp;P 500 Index ranges from 4,200 to 6,100, according to data shared by Trading platform TrendSpider on X, formerly Twitter. The highest estimate is from BMO Capital Markets and the lowest is from JPMorgan.

Most analysts and strategists see the scope for further upside, contingent on the economy averting a hard landing.

Going forward, the labor market data is the key that will guide the central bank on future rate moves.</figcaption></figure>
With the rate cut announced last week and two more 25 basis-point cuts anticipated this year, the market rally is expected to broaden. Analysts see small-cap and rate-sensitive stocks picking up momentum after lagging for an extended period, while they also expect the mega-caps that have so far spearheaded the rally, to hold up.

JPMorgan Global Investment Strategist Sarah Stillpass said in a report the September rate cut could bode well for equities. Since 1980, five of the 10 best years for the S&amp;P 500 happened when the Fed was cutting rates without a recession, she said. She also noted that the Fed has cut rates 12 times when the S&amp;P 500 was within 1% of its all-time high such as the current year. The market was higher one year later all 12 times, with a median return of 15%, she added.

S&P 500 Outpaces Wall Street Projections As Year-End Nears: Will The Rally Hold?

This story was originally published on the&nbsp;<a href="http://in.benzinga.com/" target="_blank">Benzinga India portal</a>.
Nvidia&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nvda#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO,&nbsp;Jensen Huang, has underscored the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in reshaping India&#39;s technological landscape, adding that it was &quot;India&#39;s moment&quot;.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Meets PM Modi, Says It's 'India's Moment' Amid AI Boom

U.S. banks have reportedly gained a $1 trillion windfall due to the Federal Reserve&#8217;s prolonged period of high interest rates.
What Happened: The Federal Reserve maintained elevated interest rates for two and a half years, allowing banks to earn higher yields on deposits held at the Fed. However, many banks did not pass these higher rates on to their savers, the Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/4c013d3b-796b-47a3-a964-02f753d39846">reported</a> on Monday.
At the end of the second quarter, the average U.S. bank paid depositors an annual interest rate of just 2.2%, significantly lower than the Fed&#8217;s 5.5% overnight rate. This discrepancy resulted in $1.1 trillion in excess interest revenue for banks, according to the Financial Times.
Large banks like JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America paid even less, with annual deposit costs of 1.5% and 1.7%, respectively. The Fed&#8217;s recent rate cut by half a percentage point may allow banks to reduce deposit costs further, according to Chris McGratty of KBW.
While some banks, including Citi, plan to adjust rates for high-net-worth clients in line with the Fed&#8217;s cuts, others may vary in their approach. The Financial Times noted that this situation contrasts with Europe, where some governments imposed windfall taxes on banks benefiting from higher rates.
JPMorgan Chase, Citi and Bank of America have yet to respond to the queries by Benzinga.

Why It Matters: The Federal Reserve&#8217;s recent decision to cut interest rates by<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40965372/fed-delivers-large-interest-rate-cut-in-bid-to-sustain-labor-market-stocks-gold-set-new-record-h"> 50 basis points in September</a>, lowering the target range to 4.75%-5%, has significant implications. This bold move, which defied economists&#8217; predictions of a modest 25-basis-point reduction, was aimed at sustaining the labor market. Fed Chair Jerome Powell emphasized the importance of acting preemptively to maintain robust employment levels. 
Additionally, the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/09/40855247/fed-rate-cuts-and-s-p-500-the-why-matters-most-data-shows"> performance of the S&amp;P 500</a> following the Federal Reserve&#8217;s rate cuts hinges on whether the economy is in a recession. Historical data reveals a sharp contrast in how equities react to rate cuts during recessions compared to other economic phases. During recessionary periods, stock markets typically experienced meaningful declines after the Fed&#8217;s initial rate cut. In contrast, during &#8220;growth scares&#8221; or &#8220;normalization&#8221; periods, equities have rallied strongly. 
The Federal Reserve's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/24/09/40965570/fed-rate-cut-may-drive-investors-away-from-money-markets-says-portfolio-manager">decision to cut interest rates</a> by 0.5% may also pull investors away from money market funds and into longer-duration bonds. Total money market fund assets decreased by $20.02 billion to $6.30 trillion for the week ending on September 18. Among taxable money market funds, government funds decreased by $18.82 billion and prime funds decreased by $2.42 billion.

JPMorgan, BOfA And Other US Banks Reportedly Reap $1 Trillion Windfall From Fed's High Interest Rates

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said on Sunday that the rocket manufacturing company intends to launch about five uncrewed Starships to Mars in two years, elaborating on his timeline from earlier this month.
What Happened: If the five uncrewed missions land safely, crewed missions will be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40972893/trumps-mars-landing-promise-gets-slammed-by-peter-schiff-even-as-elon-musk-says-spacex-plans-5-launc">possible in four years</a>, Musk said. However, in case of challenges, the crewed missions will be postponed another two years, he added, pegging crewed Starship missions to Mars for as early as 2028 and latest by 2030. 
Earlier this month, Musk said the first Starships will&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39567836/spacex-ceo-elon-musk-picks-terminus-for-mars-first-starship-enabled-city-after-just-4-test-flights" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">head to Mars in two years</a>&nbsp;once the next Earth-Mars transfer window opens. However, he didn&#8217;t specify how many uncrewed missions would be conducted to test the vehicle&#8217;s caliber to carry crew. 
Musk aims to take humans to Earth orbit, Moon, and subsequently Mars with the Starship. The vehicle is still in the development phase and underwent its fourth test flight in June earlier this year. The rocket has yet to carry a payload to orbit.

The last crewed lunar mission occurred in 1972 with Apollo 17. Since then, no crew has traveled beyond low-Earth orbit.
However, earlier this year, NASA postponed the Artemis 3 mission to no earlier than September 2026 from its previous timeline of late 2025 citing &#8216;development challenges.&#8217;
In 2020, Musk also said that Starship will have hundreds of uncrewed missions before it can launch crew. The CEO, known for providing lofty claims on the Starship&#8217;s readiness, did not detail how the company intends to launch 100 uncrewed missions ahead of the Artemis 3 mission when it has only completed four test flights as of date. 
Starship is now <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40932353/spacex-continues-to-prepare-for-future-starship-flights-despite-delays-in-faa-launch-clearance-elon">ready for its next test flight </a>and awaiting regulatory approvals, SpaceX said last week. The company also said that it recently received a launch license date estimate of late November for the fifth flight from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), marking a two-month delay from the previously communicated date of mid-September.
The delay, SpaceX said, was not based on a new safety concern but on &#8220;superfluous&#8221; environmental analysis including concerns about the Starbase facility having a negative impact on local flora and fauna. However, the company disputed these claims.

Elon Musk Now Says Crewed Starship Missions Will Fly To Mars Latest By 2030

Former President Donald Trump announced the launch of the first edition of his silver medallion, which he claimed to have designed himself and was minted in the U.S.
What Happened: Trump revealed the details about the coins in an X post on Saturday, describing them as &#8220;true symbols of America&#8217;s greatness.&#8221; The Republican presidential hopeful tied the official coins with his &#8220;America First&#8221; policy.
The official website of the Trump Coins described them as a one-ounce 99.99% silver, featuring the former President's profile on the obverse and the White House with Trump&#8217;s signature on the reverse.

Interestingly, spot silver was priced at $30.65 per ounce as of this writing, less than one-third of what Trump marketed his official coins at.
The website added a disclaimer that the coins haven&#8217;t been manufactured or distributed by Trump or any of the organizations affiliated with him.

Why It Matters: In an effort to bolster his finances, Trump has turned to selling a variety of merchandise to his supporters.
Nearly a month ago, he launched the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40584660/donald-trump-unveils-new-nft-collection-featuring-debate-memorabilia-and-exclusive-perks">fourth edition of his non-fungible tokens (NFTs)</a>, priced at $99 each.

The latest announcement comes a week after Trump&#8217;s entry into the cryptocurrency market with the launch of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40905315/donald-trumps-new-crypto-project-world-liberty-financial-everything-you-need-to-know">World Liberty Financial (WLFI)</a>, a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform centered around a cryptocurrency token.
But even as Trump ramped up efforts to raise funds for his election campaign, the odds were stacked against him. According to the decentralized prediction market Polymarket, Kamala Harris was the bettors&#8217; <a href="https://polymarket.com/">favorite </a>to win the elections with a 52% probability.

Trump Sold Bitcoin-Themed Sneakers And NFTs: Now He's Promoting A 'Self-Designed' Coin Featuring His Own Image

Vice President <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40973752/kamala-harris-reportedly-set-to-unveil-new-economic-policies-in-pittsburgh-this-week-its-about-showi">Kamala Harris </a>was ahead of her Republican rival Donald Trump, going by the results of two separate polls published over the weekend.
The Matchups: Harris was ahead of Trump by five points in a one-on-one contest, with the tally at 49%-44%, a national NBC News <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/poll-newly-popular-harris-challenging-trump-change-rcna171308">poll</a> conducted Sept. 13-17 with 1,000 registered voters showed. The survey&#8217;s margin of error was plus or minus 3.1 percentage points. This marked a shift from the sentiment that prevailed when NBC News did its July polls. When President Joe Biden was still in the race, Trump was ahead by two points.
The results of the Harris vs. Trump matchup showed Black voters siding with the former by an 85%-7% tally. Harris received majority support among voters, aged 18-34 years (57%-34%) and voters with college degrees 59%-38%). Among independents, the vice president received a singularity of votes (43%-35%).
Trump&#8217;s support base is among men (52%-40%), white voters (52%-43%) and white voters without college degrees (61%-33%).
In a welcome development for Harris and the Democrats, support for the party reached its highest point in NBC News polling since mid-2023. At the same time, the share of voters saying they were undecided or wanted another choice dipped to its lowest point since that time.
A CBS/YouGov <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-harris-poll-debate-economy-09-22-2024/">poll </a>conducted between Sept. 18-20&nbsp;showed Harris leading yet again, with the margin at 52%-48% among likely voters. About 3,129 registered voters nationwide&nbsp;were contacted for the purpose, with the margin of sampling error at plus, or minus 2.2 points.
In the CBS/YouGov poll, Harris was ahead in the battleground states with a slightly smaller margin. She received 51% support and Trump 49%.
Harris scores better among the subset who think the economy is good and/or their personal finances are good. Eighty-eight percent of those who said the economy is good backed her and 64% of those who said their personal finances are good supported her.
Republican pollster Bill McInturff of Public Opinion Strategies, who did NBC News poll along with Democratic pollster said Jeff Horwitt of Hart Research Associates said Trump&#8217;s eroding support was due to some Republicans, who are not his die-hard supporters, deserting him. But this could change, he said.
We have seen this movie before. They can get squishy on Trump, and then in the end they come back and they vote the way they're going to vote on a Republican-versus-Democrat preference for Congress,&#8221; said McInturff.
CBS/YouGov poll found that people who prioritize the personal qualities of a candidate are voting&nbsp;for Harris (66%-33%) and those who say policies are very important are evenly split between them.&nbsp;
Multi-Candidate Fray: When the ballot included Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Green Party&#8217;s Jill Stein and Libertarian Chase Oliver, Harris had a bigger lead, 47% of the registered voters favored her and 41% Trump, while the other candidates managed 2% or less each, according to NBC News poll.

Harris Surges, Trump Sedate: NBC News poll showed that Harris&#8217; popularity has improved notably since July when she had a net negative rating of 18, courtesy of 32% of voters holding positive opinions about her and 50% seeing her in a negative light. In the September poll, her favorability improved to a net positive 3 points, with 48% and 45%, respectively, rating her positively and negatively.
No major-party presidential candidate in the 35-year history of the NBC News poll has seen this kind of jump in popularity in an election, the pollster said.
Trump&#8217;s net rating was essentially unchanged from July at a net negative 13 points.
Economy &#8211; The Achilles&#8217; Heel: Harris has her fair share of pitfalls. In the CBS News/YouGov survey, among likely voters who mentioned the economy is a major concern, she trailed by a 47%-53% margin. That said, it has been an improvement from the tally in August when she trailed by a 43%-56% margin. 
The proportion of the registered voters who said the economy is good improved from 35% in August to 39% currently and the proportion who said the economy is bad fell from 62% to 59%.
The NBC News poll found that two-thirds of voters said their family income is falling behind the cost of living, and voters mentioned the cost of living as their top concern, handing Trump the advantage on the economy and inflation. The former president&#8217;s advantage, however, reduced relative to what it was when he was pitched against Biden in July.
 The Consumer price inflation has been on a sustainable downward trajectory so much that it allowed the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40965372/fed-delivers-large-interest-rate-cut-in-bid-to-sustain-labor-market-stocks-gold-set-new-record-h"> Federal Reserve to drop the Fed funds rate by 50 basis points </a>last week. With interest rates receding from their highs, consumers, who fuel much of the economic growth, can now heave a sigh of relief.

Stifel foresees a significant market downturn by the end of 2024. Chief equity strategist Barry Bannister <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40701071/market-bull-warns-of-up-to-10-september-pullback-urges-caution-but-stresses-be-read">warned the S&amp;P 500 could fall by 12% in the fourth quarter</a>.
What Happened: Bannister highlighted various concerns, including high valuations and speculative investor behavior. &#8220;Our instruments tell us to expect an S&amp;P 500 correction to the very low 5,000s by 4Q24,&#8221; he stated, <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/stock-market-outlook-strategist-warns-correction-soon-tech-bubble-risk-2024-9">reported</a> Business Insider.
He noted that current stock market valuations are nearing a &#8220;near three-generation high&#8221; with the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s price-to-earnings multiple around 24x. Additionally, the outperformance of large-cap growth stocks relative to value stocks is reminiscent of peaks seen in February 2000 and August 2020, which preceded bear markets.
Bannister also pointed out that rising labor supply from increased immigration has bolstered economic growth, but overall labor demand is waning. &#8220;Fading labor demand is now symbolic of recession risk,&#8221; he said, mentioning that the non-farm payroll 6-month diffusion index has dipped below a &#8220;recession trigger level.&#8221;
He further explained that the typical &#8220;pre-election juice&#8221; for the economy might diminish towards year-end, impacting stock performance. Lastly, Bannister warned of a potential bubble in technology stocks, comparing it to the dot-com bubble of the 1990s.

Why It Matters: The warning from Stifel comes on the heels of several significant market events. 
Additionally, in early September, equity strategist Tom Lee warned of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40701071/market-bull-warns-of-up-to-10-september-pullback-urges-caution-but-stresses-be-read">potential 7%-10% market pullback</a>, attributing this to historical trends showing September as the weakest month for stocks. Lee urged caution but also advised investors to be ready to &#8220;buy that dip.&#8221; 
More recently, the Federal Reserve&#8217;s decision to cut interest rates by 0.5% <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40969943/fed-rate-cut-fuels-market-rally-amidst-valuation-fears">triggered a market rally</a>, despite concerns over inflated valuations. This move led to a significant surge in U.S. stocks and commodities, while reducing bond market volatility.
The rate cut also influenced investor behavior, with a shift away from money market funds and into <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/24/09/40965570/fed-rate-cut-may-drive-investors-away-from-money-markets-says-portfolio-manager">longer-duration bonds</a>, as noted by fixed-income portfolio manager Timothy Ng.

Stifel Warns Of 12% Market Drop By End Of 2024 As S&P 500 Faces High Valuations And Speculative Risks

Apple Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40680904/7-products-apple-will-likely-discontinue-next-week-after-iphone-16-launch">has discontinued</a>&nbsp;the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone&nbsp;15 Pro Max, and iPhone 13 models, along with other products,&nbsp;as part of its annual&nbsp;product streamlining.
What Happened: Apple has stopped production of several products, but these models can still be found in stock at online and third-party retail stores for a limited time.
Apple&#8217;s annual product discontinuation is a routine practice, making way for newer items. This year,&nbsp;the oldest iPhone still in&nbsp;production, the iPhone 13, was also dropped, <a href="https://appleinsider.com/articles/24/09/22/in-with-the-new-out-with-the-old-apple-discontinues-the-iphone-15-pro-iphone-13">reported</a> AppleInsider.

The current iPhone lineup now includes the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 15 and&nbsp;iPhone 15 Plus, the four <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40780100/apple-intelligence-ready-iphone-16-with-faster-processor-dedicated-camera-button-announced-check-pri">new&nbsp;iPhone 16 models</a>, and the&nbsp;third-generation iPhone SE from 2022.
Other discontinued products include the AirPods Max, replaced by nearly identical models with new colors and a USB-C port.
The regular AirPods&nbsp;2 and AirPods 3 have&nbsp;also been replaced with two&nbsp;new models of AirPods 4.&nbsp;After the introduction of&nbsp;the Apple Watch Series 10,&nbsp;the Apple Watch Series 9 was also discontinued.
Apple&nbsp;also dropped its line of FineWoven iPhone cases due to negative customer feedback, the report noted.

Why It Matters: The discontinuation of these models comes amid mixed reports about the demand for the new iPhone 16.&nbsp;T-Mobile US Inc. CEO Mike Sievert&nbsp;said that the iPhone 16 is selling at a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40932937/apple-iphone-16-selling-at-a-greater-rate-than-last-year-says-t-mobile-ceo-amid-reports-of-lower">greater rate than last year&#8217;s model</a>.
However,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/09/40930388/apple-iphone-16-pre-orders-show-possible-low-demand-one-sign-could-point-to-company-breaking-this-em">analysts predicted weak demand</a>&nbsp;for the iPhone 16 due to a lack of reasons for existing iPhone owners to upgrade to the latest model.
JPMorgan analyst Samik Chatterjee&nbsp;has noted that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40882969/iphone-16-pro-demand-lags-longer-wait-times-globally-china-shows-smaller-gap-analyst">lead times of the iPhone 16 series</a> across critical markets, including the U.S., China, Germany, and the U.K., indicate in-line demand for the iPhone 15 series during the first week.
Previously, it was reported that the iPhone 16 series launch also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40785959/iphone-16-fails-to-sway-some-chinese-buyers-im-going-to-buy-huaweis-tri-fold-phone-missing-ai-featur">failed to impress some Chinese buyers</a> due to its lack of AI features.

China&#8217;s central bank has taken significant steps to support the economy by reducing a key short-term interest rate and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/09/40951221/bank-of-japan-leaves-interest-rate-at-0-25-diverging-from-feds-50-basis-point-cut">injecting substantial liquidity into the financial system</a>.
What Happened: The People's Bank of China cut the 14-day reverse repurchase interest rate by 10 basis points to 1.85% and injected 74.5 billion yuan ($10.6 billion) of liquidity via this policy tool, according to its website.
Additionally, the central bank injected 160.1 billion yuan (&nbsp;$10.6 billion) through 7-day reverse repo agreements, maintaining the interest rate at 1.7%, the bank stated on Monday.
Last week, the PBOC unexpectedly kept its benchmark lending rates steady, despite rising expectations for easing following the U.S. Federal Reserve&#8217;s rate cut.

Why It Matters: The recent actions by the People's Bank of China come amid a global trend of monetary policy adjustments. On Thursday, the Bank of Japan opted to maintain its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/09/40951221/bank-of-japan-leaves-interest-rate-at-0-25-diverging-from-feds-50-basis-point-cut">benchmark interest rate at 0.25%</a>, diverging from the U.S. Federal Reserve&#8217;s 50 basis point cut. 
On Friday, a portfolio manager noted that the Federal Reserve's rate cut could drive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/24/09/40965570/fed-rate-cut-may-drive-investors-away-from-money-markets-says-portfolio-manager">investors away from money market</a> funds and into longer duration bonds.
Additionally, Federal Reserve Governor Michelle W. Bowman defended her decision to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/24/09/40965082/feds-historic-dissenter-bowman-says-smaller-interest-rate-cut-was-justified-we-have-no">support a smaller 25-basis-point rate cut</a>, citing ongoing inflation concerns. This marked a historic moment as it was the first time since 2005 that a Fed governor openly disagreed with a rate decision.
