Stock Slide Deepens With Fed Cut Bets in Focus: Markets Wrap

(Bloomberg) — Stocks fell for a second day as Trump trades lost steam and investors bet the Federal Reserve will have to slow the pace of policy easing.

Most Read from Bloomberg

The S&P 500 traded near session lows, with tech stocks leading declines. Including losses on Friday, the benchmark has now ceded more than half of the trough-to-peak gains it notched after the US presidential election. Traders now see just over even odds of a quarter-point cut next month after a report on October retail sales included large upside revisions to the prior month.

As the initial euphoria about Trump’s pro-business agenda begins to fade, investors are coming to terms with the costs of his fiscal plans and their potential to reignite inflation.

“It will come at the expense of potentially larger budget deficits, potentially larger debt and there is also the inflation dimension,” said Charles-Henry Monchau, chief investment officer at Banque Syz & Co. “There’s been a realization that there is a price to pay for this.”

The S&P 500 fell 1.5% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 dropped more than 2%. Shares of all “Magnificent Seven” megacaps declined except Elon Musk’s Tesla Inc., with Amazon.com Inc., Nvidia Corp. and Meta Platforms Inc. sliding more than 3%.

Traders priced just over a 50% chance the Fed will deliver a quarter-point reduction at its December meeting, down from 80% earlier this week. Bets on cuts were pared after Fed Chair Jerome Powell warned Thursday that the central bank may take its time easing policy. Boston Fed President Susan Collins said Friday a December cut remained on the table, emphasizing the central bank’s decision will be guided by incoming data.

“The market is expensive and I think Powell’s speech last night basically saying that Fed officials don’t need to rush to lower rates, that’s probably the main reason why we’re selling off specifically today,” said John Davi, CEO and CIO at Astoria Advisors, by phone. “The higher rates go, the more equity risk premiums tilt more in the favor of bonds.”

Meanwhile, drugmakers Moderna Inc. and Pfizer Inc. came under pressure in New York trading after Trump named a prominent vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to a top health-policy role.

The greenback eased off two-year highs but is on track for its seventh straight weekly gain. Another of the so-called Trump trades, Bitcoin, has given up some gains this week, trading below $90,000 on Friday after hitting a record level above $93,000 earlier this week on hopes of crypto-friendly policies from the new US administration.

Eyenovia Stock Sinks As Pivotal Trial Fails To Hit Primary Efficacy Goal, Analyst Downgrades Due To Limited Capital And Near Term Upside From Pipeline

On Friday, Eyenovia, Inc. EYEN stock is trading lower after an update from the Phase 3 CHAPERONE study evaluating its proprietary drug-device combination of low-dose atropine in the company’s Optejet dispensing platform pediatric progressive myopia.

Progressive myopia is a type of nearsightedness that worsens over time due to the eyeball growing too long.

The company said that an independent Data Review Committee (DRC) reviewed the CHAPERONE data and found that the trial is not meeting its primary endpoint of a less than 0.5 diopter progression in visual acuity over three years.

The DRC reviewed the safety and efficacy data from 252 evaluable patients. The DRC found that the rate of myopia progression was not significantly different between the two active treatment arms (0.01% and 0.1% atropine ophthalmic metered spray) and placebo.

In the safety analysis, all dosages and placebo appeared well-tolerated, with a mild and infrequent adverse event profile. Full study data has not yet been released to Eyenovia.

“We plan to terminate the study, review the data more thoroughly, and evaluate the next steps,” stated Michael Rowe, Eyenovia’s CEO.

In light of the results of this review, the company is considering strategic options, which may include a business combination, reverse merger, asset sales or a combination of those alternatives.

William Blair has downgraded Eyenovia to Market Perform.

The analyst says,” While the approval of Mydcombi provided important validation of Eyenovia’s Optejet device, and the subsequent approval of clobetasol propionate ophthalmic solution 0.05% added another promising product to the company’s commercial portfolio, we believe the negative results from the CHAPERONE study and limited capital to invest in the launch of clobetasol or further pipeline programs limits near-term upside.”

Price Action: EYEN stock is down 68.2% at $0.1083 at last check Friday.

Matt Gaetz To Be Confirmed As Attorney General In A Trump Administration? Not So Fast, Polymarket Traders Say

Polymarket predictions reveal significant doubt over whether Matt Gaetz will be confirmed as Attorney General in a Trump administration, with current betting odds showing only a 28% chance of approval.

What Happened: The chances of confirmation have been oscillating between 25% and 30%, according to Polymarket traders.

The unconventional nomination has sparked widespread commentary, with former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) casting doubts on Gaetz’s chances.

McCarthy, a long-time Trump ally, remarked in an interview with Bloomberg that “Gaetz won’t get confirmed. Everybody knows that,” suggesting that Gaetz lacks strong support among Senate Republicans due to his divisive history within the party.

McCarthy’s own relationship with Gaetz has been tumultuous, particularly after Gaetz led the charge to oust him as speaker of the House

Gaetz, known for his libertarian views and advocacy for cryptocurrency, has introduced radical proposals, including a bill to allow federal income taxes to be paid in Bitcoin.

His potential nomination as Attorney General is part of Trump’s promise to overhaul the Justice Department and address what he calls the “weaponization” of government institutions.

Trump publicly praised Gaetz on his Truth Social account, stating, “Matt will end Weaponized Government, Protect our Borders, dismantle Criminal Organizations, and restore Americans’ badly-shattered Faith and Confidence in the Justice Department.”

Gaetz’s path to confirmation is complicated by ongoing controversies. The House Ethics Committee is investigating him for allegations of sexual misconduct, drug use, and other claims, though Gaetz has consistently denied any wrongdoing.

The Department of Justice previously investigated him for sex trafficking but decided against pressing charges last year.

For many Senate Republicans, these unresolved issues could prove insurmountable during the confirmation process .

Adding to his profile, Gaetz has also pushed for legislation to dismantle the Federal Reserve and legalize marijuana.

His pro-crypto stance aligns with Trump’s campaign promise to make the U.S. the “Bitcoin superpower of the world,” a stance that has fueled excitement within the crypto community.

What’s Next: Gaetz’s involvement in crypto and his support for innovative financial policies make his nomination particularly relevant as investors await Benzinga’s Future of Digital Assets event on Nov. 19.

Exploring the Significance of Insider Trading

Emphasizing the importance of a comprehensive approach, considering insider transactions is valuable, but it’s crucial to evaluate them in conjunction with other investment factors.

Exploring the legal landscape, an “insider” is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company’s equity securities, as stipulated by Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This encompasses executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are required to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be submitted within two business days of the transaction.

Highlighted by a company insider’s new purchase, there’s a positive anticipation for the stock to rise.

But, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.

Unlocking the Meaning of Transaction Codes

In the domain of transactions, investors frequently turn their focus to those taking place in the open market, as meticulously outlined in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.
