The Details: Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) miner Core Scientific's stock has climbed more than 20% over the past five days, as investors anticipated an interest rate cut. 
The Federal Reserve announced a 50 basis points (bps) cut Wednesday, bringing the federal funds rate down to a range of 4.75%-5% and increasing the appeal of risk assets like stocks and cryptocurrencies. 
Core Scientific shares climbed throughout Wednesday's session and spiked to an intraday high of $12.48  just after the announcement from Fed Chairman Jerome Powell.

Earlier this month, Core Scientific CEO Adam Sullivan shared plans with Bernstein analysts to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/09/40800336/core-scientific-aims-for-25-30-billion-valuation-with-ai-data-center-services-bernstein">significantly expand</a> the company's AI data center services, potentially boosting its valuation to a range of $25 billion to $30 billion.&nbsp;
According to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, Core Scientific shares are trading above the stock&#8217;s 50-day moving average of $10.05 and just under its 52-week high of $12.25.&nbsp;

What Happened With Bitcoin Miner Core Scientific's Stock Today?

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) shares are moving higher Wednesday. Here&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40917539/while-apple-abandoned-its-car-project-after-pouring-1b-into-it-its-key-supplier-foxconn-is-now-colla">what you need to know.</a>
What To Know: In significant economic development, the Federal Reserve instituted 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"> 50 basis points cut</a>, bringing the federal funds rate to 4.75%–5%. This unexpected move, marking the first rate reduction in more than four years, reflects the Fed&#8217;s greater confidence in managing inflation. 
The Fed also revised its economic growth forecast for 2024 down to 2%. Inflation projections for the same year were also lowered, while unemployment rates were revised upward through 2026.
Future Rate Path: The updated Dot Plot suggests another 50 basis points in cuts in 2024 and an additional 100 basis points by the end of 2025, highlighting a more aggressive easing approach compared to previous projections. This outlook signals a significant shift from the Fed's earlier stance and impacts projections for economic metrics over the next few years.

What Else: The company formerly abandoned its electric vehicle (EV) project after significant investments. In contrast, its key supplier Hon Hai Precision Industry Co Ltd &#8211; ADR, also known as Foxconn, (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HNHPF#OTC">HNHPF</a>) is advancing in the EV market. Foxconn, collaborating with Sharp, recently unveiled the LDK+ electric vehicle prototype. Designed with a room-like interior, the LDK+ aims to serve as a personal space, highlighting the evolving role of vehicles in the autonomous driving era.
Foxconn demonstrated strategic acumen by focusing on modular EV platforms that allow for cost-efficient, unique model creation. The company has also approved a $246 million investment in Northern Vietnam for manufacturing EV parts, with operations expected to start in January 2025. This investment underscores Foxconn's commitment to enhancing its production capabilities and positioning itself as a notable player in the EV industry.

Steelcase Stock Falls After Q2 Revenue Miss: Details

Wall Street reacted with unease to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell&#8216;s remarks following a landmark decision to cut the federal funds rate by 50 basis points, bringing it down to a target range <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">of 4.75% to 5%. </a>
The Federal Reserve&#8217;s highly anticipated dot plot, which outlines each policymaker&#8217;s rate path preference, indicated that policymakers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/09/40926026/federal-reserve-delivers-bold-0-5-rate-cut-signals-further-easing-ahead">anticipate further easing ahead</a>. The dot plot signaled that the Fed is likely to cut rates by a quarter percentage point at each of the next two decisions. Looking further ahead, it suggests an additional rate reduction of at least another percentage point in 2025.
Despite the initial market euphoria following the 50-basis-point rate cut, Powell&#8217;s cautious remarks on the future rate path have injected uncertainty into the markets.

Initially, 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>), surged to record highs. Gold prices, represented by the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>), also hit all-time highs as the U.S. dollar weakened.
Interest-rate sensitive stocks were the largest gainers between 2 p.m. and 2:35 p.m. ET, with small caps outperforming large-cap counterparts.
Yet, Powell&#8217;s cautionary comments during the press conference caused a reversal in market sentiment.

<li>The U.S. dollar, which many believed would plummet in a 50-basis-point cut scenario, instead recouped its losses and rallied to weekly highs. The Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>) closed 0.1% higher.</li>
<li>U.S. large-cap indices all ended the day in the red, paring back gains made immediately after the rate decision. The S&amp;P 500 finished 0.3% lower, while the Nasdaq 100, tracked by the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), declined by 0.4%.</li>
<li>Small caps managed to close unchanged for the day, but they still gave back all their post-rate-cut gains.</li>
<li>Sector-wise, the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>) was the only sector to close in positive territory, up 0.2%. </li>
<li>The worst performer was the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLK#NYSE">XLK</a>), which fell 1%.</li>
<li>Gold dropped 0.4% to $2,555 per ounce, hitting levels last seen on Thursday of the previous week.</li>
<li>Silver and oil also saw robust declines, closing 2.1% and 1.2% lower, respectively.</li>
<li>Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) fell 1.1% to $59,717.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Powell&#8217;s Caution Stirs Investor Uncertainty</h3>
While defending the 50-basis-point rate cut, Powell tempered market enthusiasm, emphasizing that such a cut should not be seen as a new norm. His key statements on Wednesday included:
<ul>
<li>&#8220;No one should look at today and think this is the new pace.&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;We can go quicker or slower, or pause, on rate cuts if it is appropriate.&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;There is nothing in our projections that suggest we are in a rush.&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;If the economy remains solid and inflation persists, we can dial back policy restraint more slowly.&#8221;</li>
</ul>
These comments signaled a more cautious approach to future rate cuts, disappointing investors who had hoped for a more aggressive easing cycle.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Economist Insights</h3>
<ul>
<li>Jeffrey Roach, LPL Financial: &#8220;We learned from today's Summary of Economic Projections (SEP) that the Fed is interested in getting to a neutral fed funds rate as quickly as possible.&#8221;</li>
<li>John Lynch, Comerica Wealth Management: &#8220;The Fed was more aggressive than I expected, since 50 basis point cuts are historically associated with crises. I don't consider 2% GDP, 4.2% unemployment rate, and 15% profit growth forecasts for 2025 as a crisis.&#8221;</li>
<li>Bill Adams, Comerica Bank: &#8220;With the Fed pivoting, interest rates will be substantially lower over the next six to twelve months. That is very welcome news for credit-sensitive sectors of the economy like housing, manufacturing, and retailers of cars and other big-ticket consumer products.&#8221;</li>
<li>Chris Zaccarelli, Independent Advisor Alliance: &#8220;Lowering interest rates now should allow the market to hit all-time highs again by the end of this year, and more gains for next year.&#8221;</li>

Powell's Hawkish Tone Tempers Market Excitement After Historic 50-Basis-Point Interest Rate Cut, Economist Sees 'Welcome News For Credit-Sensitive Sectors'

Cannabinoid-focused biopharmaceutical company C3 Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced Wednesday that it has executed a tailored share subscription agreement with GEM Global Yield LLC SCS and is planning on listing on the Canadian Securities Exchange.
The California company said it has a commitment of CAD$135 million ($99.3 million) from GGY. The money will expand manufacturing operations and introduce Idrasil, the company's cannabis-based tablet, to the U.S. and international markets, according to C3. 
The tablet is aimed at helping patients manage a variety of conditions, such as chronic pain, ADD, Alzheimer&#8217;s, cancer, sleep disorders, mental health issues and withdrawal from opioid addiction, while remaining sober and lucid.
&#8220;Idrasil is expected to be a highly disruptive medical advancement in recent pharmaceutical history,&#8221; CEO Steele Smith III said in Wednesday&#8217;s press release. "This is why there have been legal and bureaucratic obstacles to bringing it to market and securing insurance approvals."

Idrasil is in the center of a long-running lawsuit filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission against C3 International, Inc., co-founded by Smith and his wife Theresa. 
On Monday, C3 International and the Smiths filed an appeal with the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals of a July 17 order by U.S. District Judge Christina Snyder that granted a default judgment barring the defendants from breaching securities laws and imposed $1,914,017 in disgorgement, $447,859 in prejudgment interest and $621,459 in civil penalties.

For investors, it could be an opportune time to invest in quality ETFs like Global X U.S. Infrastructure Development ETF (PAVE), iShares Global Infrastructure ETF (IGF), and iShares U.S. Infrastructure ETF (IFRA), each poised to benefit from this booming industry. Learn more… As the global economy expands, the infrastructure industry is poised for significant growth and development. In today's rapidly advancing technological era, the infrastructure sector is not just keeping pace but actively incorporating digital and technological innovations. The industry is vital in building roads, bridges, oil and gas pipelines, waste management systems, and utilities.
Given the ongoing growth in the infrastructure sector, investing in ETFs such as Global X U.S. Infrastructure Development ETF (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/PAVE/">PAVE</a>), iShares Global Infrastructure ETF (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/IGF/">IGF</a>), and iShares U.S. Infrastructure ETF (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/IFRA/">IFRA</a>) could be beneficial. These ETFs have earned a ‘Strong Buy' rating in our proprietary rating system, reflecting their potential for strong returns.
The Biden-Harris administration's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) has earmarked <a href="https://home.treasury.gov/news/featured-stories/infrastructure-investment-in-the-united-states">$1.2 trillion for infrastructure spending</a>, including $550 billion in new federal investments over the next five years. With the BIL Act in full swing, the government <a href="https://www.ey.com/en_us/infrastructure-investment-and-jobs-act">allocated</a> $55 billion to improve drinking water by replacing lead pipes and removing dangerous chemicals, along with $25 billion for airport repairs and $17 billion for port infrastructure.
As governments worldwide increase their infrastructure investments, confidence in the sector is growing, presenting a prime opportunity for investors to capitalize on these initiatives. With that in mind, let's look at the fundamentals of the above-mentioned infrastructure ETFs in detail:

3 Infrastructure ETFs to Watch as the World Rebuilds

Emphasize Consistency To Navigate Volatility

Global Listed Infrastructure - Structural Changes In Asset Class Create Opportunities

With infrastructure spending on the rise, now could be an opportune time to invest in top infrastructure ETFs like Global X U.S. Infrastructure Development (PAVE), iShares Global Infrastructure (IGF), and iShares U.S. Infrastructure (IFRA), each poised to benefit from this booming industry. Learn more… The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and other federal initiatives have been a crucial boost for the infrastructure sector, helping it thrive even as other parts of the construction industry slow down. In 2024, $1.8 trillion in federal funding is flowing into the economy through grants, loans, and tax credits, according to <a href="https://www.spglobal.com/ratings/en/research/articles/240514-record-u-s-infrastructure-spending-is-colliding-with-higher-construction-costs-and-other-hurdles-13104338">S&amp;P Global</a>.
Investors looking to capitalize on this growth could consider investing in fundamentally sound ETFs such as Global X U.S. Infrastructure Development ETF (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/PAVE/">PAVE</a>), iShares Global Infrastructure ETF (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/IGF/">IGF</a>), and iShares U.S. Infrastructure ETF (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/IFRA/">IFRA</a>).
According to White House data analyzed by CNBC, the largest portion of IIJA funding is directed toward road and bridge projects, followed by rail, broadband, power, and water projects. To date, improvements have been made on 165,000 miles of roads, and more than 9,400 bridges are currently undergoing repairs.
Yet, we're only <a href="https://www.constructiondive.com/news/infrastructure-law-halfway-project-funding/717254/">halfway</a> through the IIJA's five-year span, and less than half (about 38%) of its funding has been announced. This represents a 13.5% increase in the past six months, signaling that the pace of infrastructure development is accelerating.
One major project already underway is the <a href="https://www.constructiondive.com/news/brent-spence-bridge-environmental-review-approval/716070/">Brent Spence Bridge</a> between Cincinnati and Covington, Kentucky, which is just one example of the massive impact the IIJA is having. In fact, the White House reported that more than <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/05/13/fact-sheet-biden-harris-administration-kicks-off-infrastructure-week-by-highlighting-historic-results-spurred-by-president-bidens-investing-in-america-agenda/">56,000 infrastructure projects</a> are now underway across over 4,500 localities in the U.S., a 40% increase over the past six months.
This steady ramp-up in activity is expected to drive the U.S. construction industry's growth by <a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20240916726753/en/US-Construction-Industry-Research-2024-Output-to-Grow-by-2.5-in-Real-terms-this-Year-Before-Growing-at-an-AAGR-of-3.9-During-2025-2028---ResearchAndMarkets.com">2.5% in real terms</a> in 2024, bolstered by public and private investments. The sector is forecasted to grow at an annual rate of 3.9% between 2025 and 2028, fueled by funding from the IIJA and other initiatives like the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
With so much capital flowing into energy, transportation, and housing infrastructure, it's clear that this sector is on the rise. Instead of selecting individual stocks within this rapidly evolving landscape, investing in infrastructure-focused ETFs like PAVE, IGF, and IFRA offers broad exposure across multiple sectors, including industrials, energy, and communication services.
Let's look at the fundamentals of the above-mentioned infrastructure ETFs in detail:
