The results of this clinical trial are unrelated to Travelan and do not impact Immuron's plans to hold an end of Phase 2 meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with a view to initiating Phase 3 clinical trial(s) of Travelan in 2H 2025. Nor does this NMRC trial impact on Immuron's commercialization strategy for Travelan. This commercialization strategy also includes the results of the Uniformed Services University clinical study (n=866) of Travelan which is 85% recruited with topline results anticipated in April 2025.

Traders are cautiously optimistic ahead of the all-important payrolls report, with the index futures narrowly mixed in early Friday. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41177060/port-strike-ends-workers-return-to-work-friday">suspension of the Longshoremen&#8217;s strike</a> removes one of the overhangs even as the Middle East tensions rage unabated. The September job gains could have a big impact on the near-term direction of the market.
&#8220;Payroll data will be closely watched as the sentiment is now that the Fed has become less focused on inflation and more on employment,&#8221; said fund manager Louis Navellier. A BofA note highlighted that the S&amp;P 500 futures have been more reactive to non-farm payroll data than any other economic data in recent years, a screenshot of the note shared by a financial writer on X showed.

Cues From Last Session:
U.S. stocks showed nervousness throughout Thursday&#8217;s session before closing lower, with geopolitical tensions, the dockworkers&#8217; strike and mixed economic data weighing down on sentiment. While a bigger-than-expected increase in jobless claims stirred anxiety about the monthly jobs data, the Institute for Supply Management&#8217;s stronger-than-expected service sector purchasing managers&#8217; index tempered expectations concerning a bigger cut.
The Nasdaq Composite oscillated back and forth in the morning session but languished mostly below the unchanged line in the afternoon before ending marginally lower. This is despite IT and communication services posting moderate gains. The broader S&amp;P 500 Index traded mostly in the red and ended modestly lower, with consumer discretionary, consumer staple, healthcare, material and real estate stocks dragging the index lower. On the other hand, energy stocks posted solid gains. The index settled at a two-week low. 
The 30-stock Dow Jones Industrial Average underperformed as it settled down 0.44% at a one-week low.

Insights From Analysts:
Comerica Chief Economist Bill Adams said he expects the Fed to cut rates by 25 basis points in November, December, January and March and then move toward quarterly rate cuts for the rest of the next year. The economist noted that inflation is slowing to near the Fed&#8217;s 2% target, largely due to lower energy prices. Core inflation, though higher than the headline inflation, could slow due to downward pressure on durable goods and used autos persist and a slower increase in housing costs, he said.
Adams sees the Fed funds rate to be in the range of 3%-3.25% by the end of 2025. That said, the economist does not rule out a faster pace of rate cuts if the economy weakens materially, or a slower rate cut if the large deficit or wars in oil-exporting regions cause inflation to rebound.
Navellier weighed in on the near-term trajectory of the market in a note sent to clients on Thursday. &#8220;Funds flows into equities are likely to remain positive, at least until there is a sustained pullback, which hasn&#8217;t happened since &#8217;22,&#8221; he said.
The fund manager noted that the AI theme got a boost after OpenAI&#8217;s new funding round, which raised $6.6 billion from a long list of well-known investors, valuing the company at $157 billion. Also, Nvidia Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang&#8217;s comments that demand for the company&#8217;s new Blackwell chips is &#8220;insane,&#8221; is a positive for the sector, he said.
 &#8220;AI adoption remains one of the fastest-growing new technologies ever and continues to promise big gains in productivity, though the timing of meaningful cash flow gains still remains uncertain,&#8221; he added.

EV giant Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has reportedly begun inviting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tesla-cybertruck">Cybertruck</a> reservation holders to configure their cheaper non-foundation series version of the vehicle.
What Happened: The news was first flagged on social media platform X by Tesla enthusiast Sawyer Merritt. 
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">BREAKING: Tesla has officially begun inviting people to order the less expensive non-Foundation Series Cybertrucks!

The foundation series of the Cybertruck refers to the limited-edition version of the stainless steel truck with exclusive badges and premium accessories being manufactured by the company for the initial months of starting deliveries. The foundation series Cybertruck starts at $99,990 for the base version. 
The non-foundation series Cybertruck, though less exclusive, will be cheaper. The base version of the non-foundation series Cybertruck starts at $79,990 with the higher-end Cyberbeast variant starting at $99,990. 
The invites to reservation holders imply that Tesla might soon start production of the non-foundation series version. The company did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment.
Why It Matters: Tesla started delivering the Cybertruck in November 2023.
During Tesla's annual shareholder meeting in early June, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that the company has touched a weekly production record of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/23/12/36039263/did-tesla-overpromise-and-underdeliver-with-the-cybertruck" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">1,300 Cybertrucks</a>. The company is now ramping production further to touch 2,500 units per week by the end of the year to deliver 250,000 Cybertrucks a year starting in 2025.
Cybertruck&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39876213/tesla-confirms-it-aims-to-start-selling-cybertruck-in-canada-this-year-pre-orders-open-for-150" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">production is on track</a>&nbsp;to achieve profitability by the end of the year, the company said during its second-quarter earnings in July.
In the three months through the end of September, Tesla delivered 22,915 units of the Model X, Model S, and Cybertruck together. The company doesn&#8217;t provide a Model-wise breakdown of deliveries.

Masayoshi Son, CEO of SoftBank Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>), has forecasted the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/09/40836225/human-like-reasoning-strawberry-ahead-aggressive-nvidia-buying-hotter-inflation-data">advent of artificial superintelligence</a> within the next ten years. This revelation was shared during the SoftBank World 2024 conference.
What Happened: Son, Japan&#8217;s second wealthiest individual, commended OpenAI for its recent technological strides. He specifically mentioned the new GPT-o1 models, codenamed &#8220;Strawberry,&#8221; which he believes have developed reasoning capabilities, <a href="https://observer.com/2024/10/softbank-masayoshi-son-ai-openai-investment/">reported</a> the Observer on Friday. 
"This technology will evolve to a point&nbsp;where your happiness will be its greatest reward," said Son. He claimed that ASI, which would be 10,000 times more powerful than human intelligence, could be achieved within a decade.
Son envisions a future where AI can perform everyday tasks, such as grocery shopping and investment management, ultimately enhancing human happiness. His optimistic outlook is consistent with his history of making bold tech investments.
Looking forward, Son anticipates the achievement of artificial general intelligence, which matches human intelligence, within two to three years. 
He also predicts artificial superintelligence, surpassing human capabilities, within a decade. SoftBank&#8217;s AI strategy is centered around ARM Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>), a U.K.-based chip designer, with plans to expand into AI chips, data centers, and industrial robots.

Why It Matters: Son&#8217;s prediction comes amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/09/40836225/human-like-reasoning-strawberry-ahead-aggressive-nvidia-buying-hotter-inflation-data">growing interest</a> in A.I. advancements, particularly with OpenAI&#8217;s &#8220;Strawberry&#8221; models. These models are noted for their human-like reasoning capabilities, which could revolutionize various industries.
However, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40387488/masayoshi-sons-plans-to-rival-nvidia-with-softbanks-own-ai-chip-production-hit-a-roadblock-as-intel">SoftBank&#8217;s ambitions</a> to rival NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) in A.I. chip production reportedly faced setbacks when talks with Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) fell through. Despite this, SoftBank is exploring partnerships with other manufacturers like Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>).
Additionally, Son&#8217;s focus on AI aligns with Sam Altman&#8216;s commitment to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38608040/openais-sam-altman-says-were-making-agi-and-it-will-be-worth-it-dont-care-if-we-burn-500m-or-50b">developing artificial general intelligence</a>, regardless of the financial cost. This shared vision underscores the significant investments and strategic shifts occurring in the A.I. sector.
Interestingly, SoftBank&#8217;s past decision to sell its Nvidia shares in 2019 resulted in a missed opportunity, as those shares would <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/06/39489510/the-150-billion-opportunity-softbank-lost-by-selling-nvidia-shares-too-soon">now be approximately worth over $150 billion</a>. This highlights the high stakes and rapid evolution of the AI and tech investment landscape.
