The stock market has flashed a sell signal not seen since February 2021, Bank of America says

stock market madness charts colorful

  • A contrarian sell signal recently flashed in the stock market, according to Bank of America.

  • The drop below 4% in cash allocations suggests aggressive stock market investing, BofA said.

  • Investors are growing more optimistic about economic growth, but fear geopolitical conflicts and inflation.

A sell signal in the stock market just flashed for the first time since February 2021, according to a note from Bank of America.

The bank’s fund manager survey revealed that cash allocations dropped to 3.9% from 4.2%, representing the lowest level since February 2021.

According to the bank, a drop below the 4% level for cash allocations is a sell signal. It’s a contrarian sign, as it typically flashes when investors aggressively invest in the stock market with low cash levels.

The sell signal has typically preceded weak returns in the short term.

“Since 2011, there have been 11 prior ‘sell’ signals which saw global equity returns of -2.5% in the 1 month after and -0.8% in the 3 months after the ‘sell’ signal was triggered,” Bank of America strategist Michael Hartnett said.

The sell signal from Bank of America flashes at a time when stocks are trading near record highs. And investors are exhibiting very bullish behavior, according to the note.

“The biggest jump in investor optimism since Jun’20 on Fed cuts, China stimulus, soft landing,” Hartnett said, adding that “froth” is on the rise.

Fueling the optimism is expectations that the global economy is on a solid footing and ready to grow in the years ahead. The survey saw global growth expectations rise from -47% to -10%, representing the 5th largest jump since 1994.

Meanwhile, 76% of institutional investors surveyed by the bank see a probability of a “soft landing” in the economy, while the prevailing alternative scenario is a “no landing” rather than a “hard landing.”

The main difference between a soft landing and a hard landing in the economy is how fast the economy will grow going forward rather than contract in a hard landing scenario.

As to potential risks in the market, investors are most worried about geopolitical conflicts, which rose to 33% from 19% last month. Other risks on the radar of investors include an increase in inflation and a potential recession.

Finally, the most crowded trade continues to be long the Magnificent Seven mega-cap tech stocks, according to the survey.

“Long Magnificent 7 is considered the most crowded trade (per 43% of investors) followed by #2 long gold (17%), and #3 long China equities (14%),” Hartnett said.

Empowering the Immunocompromised and Elderly: ExeVir Bio presents promising XVR013m data at ID Week 2024

GHENT, Belgium, Oct. 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ExeVir Bio, a biotech company developing robust heavy chain-only antibody therapies for broad protection against infectious diseases, is pleased to announce its participation in ID Week 2024, where it will present a poster on XVR013m, a potent VHH-FC antibody for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19. This year’s conference will be held in Los Angeles from October 16-19, 2024.

  • Poster Title: XVR013m, a broadly neutralizing VHH-FC antibody targeting the S2 subunit of SARS-CoV-2 with high potency.
  • Session: Z4: COVID-19: Treatment
  • Date & Time: Saturday October 19, 2024; 12:15 PM – 1:30 PM Pacific Time
  • Presenting Author: F. Herschke, Head of Non-clinical Development
  • Virtual Link/Access: P-2023

The poster will highlight the uniqueness of XVR013m, providing key findings relevant to the protection of the most vulnerable against COVID-19.

ExeVir’s XVR013m, COVID-19 program focuses on addressing the high unmet medical need to protect and treat immunocompromised and elderly individuals that account for respectively 4% and 10% of the global population. Despite the availability of effective vaccines, the immunocompromised and elderly remain at a higher risk for severe COVID-19 as they are often unable to elicit an adequate immune response to vaccination and therefore would benefit greatly from additional protection in the form of antibody therapeutics.

ExeVir is currently making preparations to start the clinical development of the variant-proof XVR013m as a solution for the prevention of COVID-19 in the target populations of immunocompromised and elderly individuals.

Dr Jeanne Bolger, CEO of ExeVir and Chair of the Board of Directors, said: “COVID-19 is here to stay and is now clearly established as the most important respiratory infectious disease causing substantially more hospitalizations and deaths compared to influenza and RSV. Unlike flu and RSV, COVID-19 can cause long-term adverse health sequelae in the form of Long COVID, with significant economic and societal burden. It is imperative that we continue to invest in interventions to protect individuals from this disease. We are excited to present our latest findings on XVR013m, an S2 binder aiming to provide consistent and long-lasting protection for the most vulnerable at this year’s ID Week. This presentation underscores our commitment to addressing critical public health challenges and improving outcomes for those most at risk.”

About ExeVir Bio

ExeVir Bio is a clinical stage biotechnology company developing heavy-chain only antibody therapies focusing on infectious diseases. The company is harnessing its llama-derived antibody (VHH) technology platform to generate multi-specific antibodies for prophylaxis and treatment of infectious diseases. ExeVir’s initial focus is on prevention of COVID-19 for the immunocompromised patient population, including active chemotherapy, immunosuppressive drugs, solid organ transplantation, hematological malignancies, AIDS patients, and for the elderly, where there remains a high unmet need due to the limitations of current vaccines and therapeutic approaches. In addition, ExeVir Bio is actively developing its pipeline to target dengue and bolster pandemic preparedness, addressing critical global health challenges with innovative VHH antibody therapies.

ExeVir has demonstrated it can progress its candidates from research to the clinic in under one year, execute early clinical development, and conduct scale-up manufacturing. Leveraging this extensive experience, its XVR013m asset is being developed to start a First in Human clinical trial in 2025. 

VHHs are smaller in size than whole antibodies, giving them access to hidden epitopes that traditional monoclonal antibodies are unable to reach with potential for deeper tissue penetration and simpler, more cost-effective manufacturing. VHHs can be linked together like building blocks into single multi-specific molecules to tackle different epitopes or act through different mechanisms of action at once, to address more complex and co-evolving infectious diseases.

ExeVir is a spin-out of VIB, the leading Belgium-based life sciences research institute. It is backed by strong investors including Fund+, which led the series A of EUR 42 million, together with an international consortium including UCB Ventures, SFPIM, V-Bio Ventures, VIB, Wallonie Entreprendre, Noshaq, Vives IUF and SambrInvest. ExeVir has received support from VLAIO, the SPW-Recherche and the European Union, leading to a total of EUR 18 million in non-dilutive funding.

  • Digital Banking pretax income of $1.2 billion for the quarter was $401 million higher than the prior year period, reflecting increased revenue net of interest expense and a lower provision for credit losses partially offset by increased operating expenses.
  • Total loans ended the quarter at $127.0 billion, up 4% year-over-year and down 1% sequentially. Credit card loans ended the quarter at $100.5 billion, up 3% year-over-year. Personal loans increased $879 million, or 9%. Private student loans were down 19% driven by the first closing of the private student loan portfolio sale.
  • Net interest income for the quarter increased $333 million, or 10% year-over-year, driven by higher average receivables and net interest margin expansion.
  • Net interest margin was 11.38%, up 43 basis points versus the prior year.
  • Card yield was 16.23%, up 80 basis points from the prior year primarily driven by a lower promotional balance mix and lower payment rates, partially offset by higher interest charge-offs.
  • Payment Services pretax income of $84 million was largely flat year-over-year. Payment Services volume was $100.5 billion, up 9% from the prior year period.
  • Discover Network volume was down 4% reflecting a slowdown in Discover card sales volume.
  • PULSE dollar volume was up 14% driven by increased debit transaction volume.
  • Diners Club volume was up 7% year-over-year reflecting strength across most regions.

“Discover’s financial performance remained strong in the third quarter, benefiting from increased net interest margin, modest loan growth, and some credit improvement,” said Michael Shepherd, Discover’s Interim CEO and President. “We are pleased to have completed the first of four student loan sale closings, which will simplify our business. Additionally, we continued to make good progress on our risk management and compliance capabilities.”

DFS Price Action: According to Benzinga Pro, Discover Financial shares are down 0.64% after-hours at $146.58 at the time of publication Wednesday.

Data Quality and Combating Bias Emerge as Top Hurdles for AI Innovation, According to New Report

NEW YORK, Oct. 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Prove AI, a first-of-its kind AI governance tool powered by blockchain technology, today released a new report, The Essential Role of Governance in Mitigating AI Risk. The report, which polled 600+ global executives, found that AI governance is seen as a critical area of investment for leaders to maintain responsible AI systems and mitigate risk. Among other highlights from the findings, executives see strong AI governance as a key step towards improving trust with end-users, and ensuring AI’s long-term ROI.

The report, commissioned by Prove AI and conducted by Zogby Analytics, surveyed CEOs, CIOs and CTOs of large companies across the US, UK and Germany. Of the organizations polled, the vast majority, (96%) are already using AI to support business operations, with the same tally (96%) reporting AI budgets will increase in the coming year. Top motivations for AI investment were increasing productivity (82%), operational efficiency (73%), stronger decision making (65%) and cost savings (60%); top AI use cases included customer service and support, predictive analytics, and marketing and ad optimization.

While investments continue to surge, business leaders are also clearly recognizing the additional risk exposure that AI brings to their organizations. According to respondents, the biggest deterrent to implementing new AI solutions are data integrity and security. This concern adds to existing AI performance issues that executives have already encountered, including:

  • Data quality issues (eg inconsistencies or inaccuracies): 41%
  • Bias detection and mitigation challenges in AI algorithms, leading to unfair or discriminatory outcomes: 37%
  • Difficulty in quantifying and measuring the return on investment (ROI) of AI initiatives, making it challenging to justify investments and prioritize projects: 28%

Executives exhibited confidence in the risk-management measures around AI applications, with 95% of respondents stating their organization is doing well with AI risk management today. However, in probing existing and upcoming priorities across risk management and AI governance, the report found:

  • Only 5% of executives say their organization has implemented any AI governance framework.
  • 82% of executives say that implementing AI governance solutions is a somewhat or extremely pressing priority; 85% cite plans to implement an AI governance solution by summer 2025.
  • Most (82%) participants are supportive of an AI governance executive order to provide stronger oversight, while 65% are somewhat or very concerned about IP infringement and data security.

As the data shows, this confidence wavers when executives factor in the pending enforcement of global regulations like the EU AI Act. De-risking AI is a top priority, and there is still work to be done. For these reasons, implementing and/or optimizing a dedicated AI governance strategy has emerged as a top priority.

“Executives are making themselves clear: AI’s long-term efficacy, including providing a meaningful return on the massive investments organizations are currently making, is contingent on their ability to develop and refine comprehensive AI governance strategies,” said Prove AI CEO, Mrinal Manohar. “The wave of AI-focused legislation going into effect around the world is only increasing the urgency; for the current wave of innovation to continue responsibly, we need to implement clearer guardrails to manage and monitor the data informing AI systems.”

Prove AI Accepting Early User Applications

Prove AI is accepting applications for its early access program through the end of Q4 2024; interested parties can apply on the Prove AI website. The solution will also be demonstrated at IBM TechXchange 2024 in Las Vegas, on October 22.
