Israel Military Spokesman Says This Attack Was Serious And Will Have Consequences

Airbnb, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABNB#NASDAQ">ABNB</a>) stock is moving lower on Tuesday amid heightening geopolitical tensions after Iran launched a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/24/10/41120592/iran-set-to-launch-ballistic-missile-attack-against-israel-report">missile attack on Israel</a>.
What To Know: According to <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/10/01/iran-readying-imminent-ballistic-missile-attack-against-israel-us-official-tells-nbc-news.html">CNBC</a>, Iran&#8217;s attack is expected to target military and government operations. This attack comes after Israel launched an airstrike attack that killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.
A White House Official told CNBC that, "We are actively supporting defensive preparations to defend Israel against this attack.&#8221; 
In addition, the U.S. has notified all government employees and their families in Israel to shelter in place. The embassy also told U.S. citizens in the same letter to remain cautious of rocket fire.
The Iranian missile attack at Israel could negatively impact demand for travel related services, including hotels and airlines. The missile attack has effected stocks in other sectors, including oil and defense.
How To Buy Airbnb Shares
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Airbnb (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABNB#NASDAQ">ABNB</a>) &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy ‘fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. For example, some stock, like Berkshire Hathaway, can cost thousands of dollars to own just one share. However, if you only want to invest a fraction of that, brokerages will allow you to do so.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to ‘go short' a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.

What's Going On With Airbnb Shares Tuesday?

ProShares Ultra Bloomberg Crude Oil (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UCO#NASDAQ">UCO</a>) shares are trading higher by 6.43% to $27.06 Tuesday. Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East are once again on the rise, and this time, the potential for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/24/10/41120592/iran-set-to-launch-ballistic-missile-attack-against-israel-report">significant conflict</a> is having a direct impact on financial markets, particularly in the energy sector.
The latest development comes from reports that Iran has launched a ballistic missile attack on Israel in retaliation for an airstrike that reportedly killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.
As tensions escalate, the market is responding, and one of the major movers is UCO.
Why This Matters: UCO is a leveraged exchange-traded fund (ETF) designed to provide investors with twice the daily return of the Bloomberg WTI Crude Oil Subindex, which tracks the price movements of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil. 
Essentially, UCO moves in direct correlation with oil prices, but with twice the volatility. When oil prices rise, UCO magnifies those gains, making it a popular choice for investors looking to capitalize on significant shifts in the energy market. On the flip side, it also carries higher risks due to its leverage.

The ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel is particularly concerning for global oil markets because the Middle East remains a critical region for oil production and export. Iran, a major oil producer, controls access to the Strait of Hormuz, a vital chokepoint through which approximately 20% of the world's oil supply passes. 
Any conflict involving Iran could disrupt oil flows through the Strait, leading to supply shortages and sharp increases in crude oil prices. The threat of a ballistic missile attack by Iran increases the likelihood of a broader regional conflict, which would exacerbate fears of supply disruptions.
What Else: As reports of these imminent attacks surfaced, the price of crude oil surged, with investors rushing to hedge against the uncertainty. The United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>), which directly tracks oil prices, saw a 3% increase, while UCO spiked even higher due to its leveraged nature. 
UCO's upward movement reflects the market's anticipation that if tensions in the Middle East continue to escalate, crude oil prices could soar further.
In addition to the direct impact on oil supply routes, increased military presence by the United States in the region could further strain relations with Iran, potentially leading to sanctions or military engagements that could disrupt oil exports from the region. In such a scenario, oil prices would likely surge even more dramatically, pushing UCO to higher levels.

According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, UCO has a 52-week high of $36.51 and a 52-week low of $22.88.

Why Is APA Corp Stock Seeing Blue Skies On Tuesday?

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-presidential-election">Election years</a> can be a testing time for investors of all shapes and sizes, and the close-run contest between two incumbents, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, appears to be too difficult to call for anybody on Wall Street hoping to sidestep the prospect of economic uncertainty for the United States.&nbsp;
The build-up to the 2024 presidential election has been exceptionally unpredictable for many reasons. Joe Biden stepping out of the race and the assassination attempt on Trump have served as two pivotal examples of the unforeseen circumstances thrown up on the campaign trail. For the increasing role that artificial intelligence is playing in forecasting for broker-dealers, the technology could be set to face its most testing months yet.&nbsp;
Could institutional use of AI on Wall Street be set for its biggest reckoning as election uncertainty appears to spell significant volatility for US markets? Let's take a deeper look at how Q4 2024 may be a watershed moment for trading intelligence:&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Measuring The Impact Of The US Election</h3>
Because of varying policies and fiscal stances, polling data can have a significant impact on Wall Street.&nbsp;
Recently, Morgan Stanley quantified the <a href="https://www.morganstanley.com/ideas/us-election-2024-stock-market-implications">market impact of a Republican victory</a>, which could see an extension of the 2017 tax cuts that may result in higher interest rates impacting corporate profits and stock valuations. The introduction of tariffs could also impact overseas trade and international stocks, while prospective investment opportunities in growth markets like energy, telecommunications, and utilities could offer added value.&nbsp;
Statistically, it's worth remembering that markets generally perform well regardless of who occupies The White House.
IBKRCampus data shows that the best-performing hypothetical portfolio between 1900 and 2023 by some margin would be a ‘bipartisan' one that retained investments during Democratic and Republican administrations.&nbsp;
Data shows that $10,000 invested during this time <a href="https://www.interactivebrokers.com/campus/traders-insight/securities/macro/will-the-2024-presidential-election-affect-the-stock-market/" rel="nofollow">would return $9.9 million</a> when kept fully exposed to markets between 1900 and 2023. However, $10,000 invested only during Democrat and Republican presidencies would've returned approximately $528,000 and $181,000, respectively. 
Additionally, the reason for these differences between Democrat and Republican returns is more closely linked to factors like major financial crises such as the Great Depression and the impact of war.&nbsp;
Although this data suggests that the impact of presidencies and elections can be minimal over the long term, the build-up to elections offers periods of heightened market sensitivity, especially when dealing with close-run races.&nbsp;
The uncertainty stemming from elections that are too difficult to call can increase market fluctuations, with some risk-averse investors opting to withdraw their positions to re-enter the stocks and shares later on in an event that generally causes a post-election rally for Wall Street.&nbsp;
However, these periods of volatility can be an excellent opportunity for institutions to capitalize on uncertainty and take advantage of price movements.&nbsp;
Backing broker-dealer pursuits in identifying and taking fleeting price movements in stocks and commodities on Wall Street will be artificial intelligence, which has grown substantially in the years that followed the 2020 US presidential election. But is the technology adaptable enough to deal with the volatility thrown up by an unpredictable race for the White House?&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">New Challenges For Groundbreaking AI</h3>
Institutions like broker-dealers have been utilizing artificial intelligence to gain unprecedented predictive insights into a number of markets to better shape decisions and anticipate future price trends.&nbsp;
Fundamental analysis with AI comes in many forms, with many institutions now relying on alternative data like <a href="https://www.gloify.com/blog/the-future-of-hedge-fund-investment-with-ai/#:~:text=Some%20funds%20feed%20alternative%20data,may%20offer%20an%20investing%20edge." rel="nofollow">satellite imagery and credit card transactions</a> fed into machine learning (ML) models to identify fresh alpha signals as they emerge.&nbsp;
Broker-dealers can tap into big data sets in order to discover cutting-edge correlations that can provide faster opportunities to develop investment strategies ahead of rivals.&nbsp;
While these examples sound highly adaptable, they can't predict an assassination attempt on the Republican nominee or pinpoint the moment the sitting president decides to drop out of the race for another term. So is AI capable of living up to expectations in election years?&nbsp;
The answer may rest in the level of sentiment analysis that leading AI platforms can conduct on behalf of users.&nbsp;
The ability of these models to utilize <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/40181433/sidesmedia-using-social-media-sentiment-analysis-for-trading-decisions">social media sentiment analysis</a> for instances of herding behavior and attitudes towards parties and candidates can help to use social listening to understand where the next twist or turn in the race will come from and how US citizens are reacting to breaking news can help to shape broker-dealer decisions on Wall Street.&nbsp;
Already, social media herding behavior can carry a significant <a href="https://www.26degreesglobalmarkets.com/market-impact-its-importance-and-how-to-manage-it/" rel="nofollow">impact on market movements</a>, so this information reappropriated to voter intentions could help to get to the bottom of election metadata to better track market opportunities. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Pursuing Accuracy</h3>
Artificial intelligence tools can help to provide broker-dealers with a broad understanding of structured and unstructured data sets that would take humans too much time to process to capitalize on opportunities leveraged by volatility.&nbsp;
Adapting AI to trade stocks means that trends can be identified faster with greater accuracy to present human traders with actionable insights that can be converted into trading strategies.&nbsp;
United with prime services that can utilize relationships with key investment banks for superior access to global equity, forex, and commodities markets, rapidly accessing and interpreting these insights carries the potential to supply broker-dealers with the tools necessary to trade effectively off the back of emerging trends in sentiment and breaking news.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">AI's Biggest Test On Wall Street</h3>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/ai">Artificial intelligence</a> algorithms haven't been tasked with overcoming a chaotic US presidential campaign yet, and 2024 will stand as one of the biggest tests yet for the emerging technology.&nbsp;
For broker-dealers seeking to take advantage of short-term price fluctuations with AI, Q4 2024 is set to be full of opportunities that will challenge intelligence tools in unprecedented ways. With the right blend of human scrutiny and sentiment analysis, we could be looking at a watershed moment for the incorporation of AI in driving broker-dealer performance.

Israel Military Spokesman Says Not Aware Of Any Injuries From Iran Missile Attack

Advanced Micro Devices's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NYSE">AMD</a>) short percent of float has fallen 7.69% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 46.40 million shares sold short, which is 2.88% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.32 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing Advanced Micro Devices's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure.

You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Iveda Solutions's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.18%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

When deciding whether to buy, sell, or hold a stock, investors often rely on analyst recommendations. Media reports about rating changes by these brokerage-firm-employed (or sell-side) analysts often influence a stock&#39;s price, but are they really important?
Before we discuss the reliability of brokerage recommendations and how to use them to your advantage, let&#39;s see what these Wall Street heavyweights think about Nutanix (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ntnx#NASDAQ">NTNX</a>).
Nutanix currently has an average brokerage recommendation&nbsp;of 1.69, on a scale of 1 to 5 (Strong Buy to Strong Sell), calculated based on the actual recommendations (Buy, Hold, Sell, etc.) made by 13 brokerage firms. An ABR of 1.69 approximates between Strong Buy and Buy.
Of the 13 recommendations that derive the current ABR, seven are Strong Buy and three are Buy. Strong Buy and Buy respectively account for 53.9% and 23.1% of all recommendations.
<h2>Brokerage Recommendation Trends for NTNX</h2>
<img alt="Broker Rating Breakdown Chart for NTNX" class="chart" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/yesopchart/brokerage_bar/NTNX_10012024.png" style="width:100%" title="" /> 
While the ABR calls for buying Nutanix, it may not be wise to make an investment decision solely based on this information. Several studies have shown limited to no success of brokerage recommendations in guiding investors to pick stocks with the best price increase potential.
Do you wonder why? As a result of the vested interest of brokerage firms in a stock they cover, their analysts tend to rate it with a strong positive bias. According to our research, brokerage firms assign five &quot;Strong Buy&quot; recommendations for every &quot;Strong Sell&quot; recommendation.
In other words, their interests aren&#39;t always aligned with retail investors, rarely indicating where the price of a stock could actually be heading. Therefore, the best use of this information could be validating your own research or an indicator that has proven to be highly successful in predicting a stock&#39;s price movement.
Zacks Rank, our proprietary stock rating tool with an impressive externally audited track record, categorizes stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), and is an effective indicator of a stock&#39;s price performance in the near future. Therefore, using the ABR to validate the Zacks Rank could be an efficient way of making a profitable investment decision.
<h2>ABR Should Not Be Confused With Zacks Rank</h2>
Although both Zacks Rank and ABR are displayed in a range of 1-5, they are different measures altogether.
The ABR is calculated solely based on brokerage recommendations and is typically displayed with decimals (example: 1.28). In contrast, the Zacks Rank is a quantitative model allowing investors to harness the power of earnings estimate revisions. It is displayed in whole numbers -- 1 to 5.
It has been and continues to be the case that analysts employed by brokerage firms are overly optimistic with their recommendations. Because of their employers&#39; vested interests, these analysts issue more favorable ratings than their research would support, misguiding investors far more often than helping them.
In contrast, the Zacks Rank is driven by earnings estimate revisions. And near-term stock price movements are strongly correlated with trends in earnings estimate revisions, according to empirical research.
In addition, the different Zacks Rank grades are applied proportionately to all stocks for which brokerage analysts provide current-year earnings estimates. In other words, this tool always maintains a balance among its five ranks.
There is also a key difference between the ABR and Zacks Rank when it comes to freshness. When you look at the ABR, it may not be up-to-date. Nonetheless, since brokerage analysts constantly revise their earnings estimates to reflect changing business trends, and their actions get reflected in the Zacks Rank quickly enough, it is always timely in predicting future stock prices.
<h2>Is NTNX a Good Investment?</h2>
In terms of earnings estimate revisions for Nutanix, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has remained unchanged over the past month at $1.38.
Analysts&#39; steady views regarding the company&#39;s earnings prospects, as indicated by an unchanged consensus estimate, could be a legitimate reason for the stock to perform in line with the broader market in the near term.
The size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, has resulted in a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for Nutanix.
It may therefore be prudent to be a little cautious with the Buy-equivalent ABR for Nutanix.
