North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper (D) has refuted statements by former President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;regarding the distribution of disaster aid in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41276280/hurricane-milton-closes-multiple-florida-airports-over-3-000-flights-canceled-and-delayed-10-air">aftermath of Hurricane Milton</a>.
What Happened: On Friday, Cooper took to X, formerly Twitter, and labeled Trump&#8217;s allegations as a &#8220;blatant falsehood.&#8221;
Trump accused Cooper&#8217;s administration of blocking aid and resources from reaching North Carolina to assist in recovery efforts post-Hurricane Milton.
The governor dismissed these accusations, asserting that his administration is working diligently with all stakeholders to provide necessary aid to those affected. &#8220;This is a flat out lie. We're working with all partners around the clock to get help to people.&#8221;

He went on to add that the Republican presidential nominee&#8217;s misleading statements have adversely affected&nbsp;the morale of first responders&nbsp;and victims, facilitated scams,&nbsp;and put government and rescue&nbsp;workers at risk.

Why It Matters: Previously, President&nbsp;Joe Biden&nbsp;called Trump&#8217;s allegations about Hurricane Milton &#8220;un-American.&#8221; FEMA has also launched a &#8220;rumor response&#8221; site to counter false claims related to disaster aid.
Trump previously took credit for the deployment of Elon Musk-led Starlink satellites to aid communication restoration in affected areas.
However, FEMA contradicted this statement, stating that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41110218/trump-says-he-spoke-with-elon-musk-for-starlink-deployment-to-aid-hurricane-helene-affected-areas-bu">decision was already in place before Trump's</a> involvement.
Following this, Trump and other Republicans accused the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41195085/white-house-counters-gop-accusations-of-fema-funds-misuse-denies-disaster-relief-funding-was-used-fo">White House of misusing FEMA funds</a> for migrant housing, but the White House refuted this saying, &#8220;No disaster relief funding at all was used to support migrants housing and services. None. At. All.&#8221;
Meanwhile, the situation has worsened with Hurricane Milton, which left a trail of destruction in its wake. At least 16 people have lost their lives due to the storm, <a href="https://www.tampabay.com/hurricane/2024/10/10/miltons-wake-tampa-bay-picks-up-pieces-again/">according</a> to the Tampa Bay Times, and with recovery efforts still underway, that number could increase.

JP Morgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jpm#NYSE">JPM</a>) and Wells Fargo &amp; Company (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wfc#NYSE">WFC</a>) ended the week by reporting their quarterly results, kicking off the third quarter earnings season.&nbsp;Bank of America Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bac#NYSE">BAC</a>) is due to report its latest financial results on Tuesday, with The Goldman Sachs Group (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gs#NYSE">GS</a>), Citigroup Inc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/c#NYSE">C</a>) and Morgan Stanley(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ms#NYSE">MS</a>)&nbsp;due to also report next week.
<h3>JP Morgan Reported A&nbsp;Better-Than-Expected Interest Income&nbsp;</h3>
During the quarter ended in September, JP Morgan reported&nbsp;revenues rose 6% YoY to $43.3 billion, surpassing LSEG&rsquo;s consensus estimate of&nbsp;$41.63 billion. Results were fueled by investment banking fees that grew 31% as they brought in $2.27 billion.
On the other hand, JP Morgan reported that&nbsp;net income fell 2%&nbsp;to $12.9 billion, but earnings per share rose to $4.37, up from $4.33 as there were fewer outstanding shares in the latest quarter, surpassing FactSet&rsquo;s consensus estimate of $3.99 a share.
However,&nbsp;net interest income grew 3% to $23.5 billion, surpassing both StreetAccount&rsquo;s estimate of $22.73 billion and&nbsp;FactSet&rsquo;s estimate of $22.9 billion. Consequently, JP Morgan raised its full year guidance for net interest income up from $91 billion to about&nbsp;$92.5 billion.&nbsp;
JP Morgan has et aside more money to cover credit losses, more precisely $3.1 billion, compared ot last year&rsquo;s comparable quarter when it had only set aside $1.4 billion.
During the earnings call, CFO&nbsp;Jeremy Barnum&nbsp;described the consumer is doing fine&nbsp;and is on a solid footing.&nbsp;But CEO Jamie Dimon spoke of continuously monitoring geopolitical tensions that he described as &ldquo;treacherous and getting worse.&rdquo;&nbsp;In a statement where he referred to the unspeakable human suffering, with the outcome of conflicts possibly having far-reaching effects on both short-term economic outcomes and more importantly, the course of history.&nbsp;Dimon is one of the rare CEOs who goes beyond the scope of banking to view the bigger picture of the world, often giving solicited or unsolicited advice to global leaders.
All in all, the biggest American bank continues to thrive&nbsp;in a rising rate environment.
Wells Fargo continues to evolve and generate more income through fees.&nbsp;
Wells Fargo reported third-quarter revenue dropped to $20.37&nbsp;billion, reporting a profit of $1.42 per share as net income fell to&nbsp;$5.11 billion. Net interest income also fell 11% to&nbsp;$11.69 billion, but&nbsp;the decline was offset by higher fee income.
However, the bigger picture here is that the once the country&rsquo;s #1 home mortgage lender has evolved in recent years.
Earlier this year, the Biden administration lifted a consent order that was in place since 2016&nbsp;&nbsp;following a series of scandals that included fake customer accounts.&nbsp;Last month, Wells Fargo even agreed to work with U.S. bank regulators to improve its financial crimes risk management controls that detect suspicious activity and money laundering.&nbsp;The bottom line is that despite the YoY decline of both profit and revenue, they fell less than analysts had expected.&nbsp;
By reporting better than feared results, both Wells Fargo and JP Morgan have shown that the U.S. consumers proved to be more resilient than expected, suggesting that a soft landing is more likely than a recession.&nbsp;

Crypto analyst Miles Deutscher marked $59,000 as must hold level. He predicted not making any "major moves this weekend (apart from trading memes), as directionality is still a bit unclear."
He <a href="https://x.com/milesdeutscher/status/1844788856643592468">added</a> there needed to be a higher high to officially break downtrend structure.
Michael van de Poppe highlighted the trend switched and the next test is at $65,000.

As Florida's pivotal vote on recreational cannabis looms, investors are eyeing key opportunities in the market. The Viridian Credit Tracker ranks AYR Wellness (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AYRWF#OTC">AYRWF</a>) as a strong buy, with a compelling 20% yield driven by its significant presence in Florida's cannabis market. With the potential for Florida voters to approve recreational use, AYR stands to gain considerably, making it a prime target for investors before the vote.

You can&#8217;t afford to miss out if you're serious about the business.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">AYR Wellness Offers 20% Yield: Capitalize on Florida's Potential Vote</h3>
According to the Viridian Credit Tracker from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/viridian-capital-advisors">Viridian Capital Advisors</a>, AYR's exposure to Florida's market gives it a unique advantage ahead of the state&#8217;s potential legalization of recreational cannabis. 
With a 20% trading yield, AYR outpaces many of its competitors. If <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/florida-cannabis">Florida</a> approves recreational cannabis, AYR's valuation could see a substantial boost, making this stock a strategic buy for investors ahead of the vote.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Cresco Labs vs. Curaleaf: A 250 Basis Point Difference</h3>
Another <a href="https://dealtracker.viridianca.com/credit-tracker-by-industry-sector/">suggested pair trade</a> from the report is to buy Cresco Labs (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRLBF#OTC">CRLBF</a>) at a 12.6% yield and sell Curaleaf (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CURLF#OTC">CURLF</a>) at 10.1%. This trade offers investors a 250 basis point yield upgrade, backed by Cresco's solid financials and credit improvement. Investors looking for higher returns and credit strength should consider this opportunity.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">TerrAscend: Why 12% Yield Might Not Be Enough</h3>
In contrast, TerrAscend (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRSSF#OTC">TRSSF</a>), which offers a 12% yield, is <a href="https://dealtracker.viridianca.com/credit-tracker-by-industry-sector/">recommended as a sell</a>. While TerrAscend remains a significant player in the cannabis industry, its lower yield and reduced exposure to Florida's growth potential make it less appealing compared to AYR.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Cannabist Faces Liquidity Challenges</h3>
Despite the attractive spreads among top stocks, Cannabist (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCHWF#OTC">CCHWF</a>) ranks as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/10/41192369/lender-expresses-concern-over-cannabist-companys-pray-and-hope-approach">weakest credit in the group</a>, largely due to liquidity concerns following recent asset sales. Investors should note that Cannabist's lower credit rating may limit its near-term upside despite potential improvements in the future.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Take Action Now: Florida's Vote Could Change the Game</h3>
With Florida's cannabis market potentially expanding, investors looking to maximize gains should consider this pair trade: buy AYR at 20%, sell TerrAscend at 12%, and look into Cresco Labs at 12.6% versus Curaleaf at 10.1%. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/10/41240793/its-your-constitutional-right-how-you-can-break-the-senates-block-on-cannabis-legalization">vote could transform the landscape for cannabis stocks</a>, and taking action before this pivotal event could provide substantial returns.
