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.

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.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Response To Rate Cut, Powell&#8217;s Remarks</h3>
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.
Here&#8217;s how major asset classes closed on the Fed&#8217;s decision day:
<ul>
<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>

<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.

C3 Pharmaceuticals Announces IPO Plans On Canadian Exchange, Funding For Cannabis Tablet As SEC Battle Continues

Shares of low-float micro-cap stock Exicure Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XCUR#NASDAQ">XCUR</a>) are rocketing higher in Wednesday&#8217;s after-hours session after the company announced that it received an extension from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/09/b40927658/exicure-inc-receives-extension-from-nasdaq-hearings-panel">Nasdaq Hearings Panel</a>.
What Happened: After the market close, Exicure announced that it was granted an extension for continued listing on the Nasdaq exchange. The early-stage biotechnology company must now show compliance with all applicable criteria for continued listing on the Nasdaq by Nov. 14.
Exicure <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40884303/whats-going-on-with-exicure-shares-monday">announced</a> at the end of last week that it regained compliance with Nasdaq&#8217;s minimum bid price requirement and exchanged approximately&nbsp;$1 million&nbsp;of debt for equity at a conversion price of&nbsp;$3&nbsp;per share.
The company on Wednesday said it&#8217;s diligently working to satisfy the remaining terms of the Nasdaq Panel&#8217;s requests in order to ensure Exicure&#8217;s continued listing.

Exicure shares have more than doubled in extended trading and are now hitting new 52-week highs. Exicure is considered a low-float stock with just 1.118 million shares available for public trading, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>. 
The company also had a market cap of less than $4 million as of Wednesday&#8217;s close. 
Low-float, micro-cap stocks can be extremely volatile, which may help explain some of Wednesday&#8217;s outsized move.
XCUR Price Action: Exicure shares were up 206.55% in after-hours, trading at $7.10 at the time of publication Wednesday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
