Toyota Motor Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>) shares are trading higher Wednesday following the announcement that its North American division received $4.5 million in federal funding from the U.S. Department of Energy&#8217;s ARPA-E program. Here&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/12/42559696/toyota-secures-funding-for-sustainable-battery-lifecycle-management-details">what you need to know.</a>
What To Know: The funding supports a project to develop technology aimed at improving the circular supply chain for electric vehicle (EV) batteries. The project, managed by Toyota's Research Institute of North America, focuses on automating battery disassembly, improving the classification of battery components and extending battery life through recycling and reuse.
Toyota is collaborating with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and Baker Hughes' Waygate Technologies to achieve these goals. The project aims to establish processes for efficient reuse and recycling of EV batteries, reducing waste and emissions.
The project aligns with Toyota's sustainability efforts and the broader industry shift toward cleaner energy. The innovations may enhance the economic and environmental efficiency of EV battery production and recycling.
&#8220;This collaboration represents a significant step forward in developing sustainable solutions for the battery lifecycle&#8221;, said&nbsp;Sarah Kennedy, BLS manager who is leading the technology to market deployment. &#8220;By applying the innovations established from this project, we aim to create a framework that not only reduces battery waste but also enhances the circularity of our battery supply chain, supporting Toyota&#8217;s commitment to sustainability and mobility.&#8221;
TM Price Action: Toyota Motor Corporation shares were up 0.78% at $174.63 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Shares of several companies in the hotels, restaurants & leisure space are trading lower amid overall market weakness following the Fed's rate decision to cut rates by 25 basis points.

Boeing Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) shares are volatile Wednesday following reports the company has resumed production across its wide-body airplane programs. Here&#8217;s<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42546755/boeing-resumes-production-of-767-and-777-aircraft-after-seven-weeks-long-machinists-strike-comes-to-an-end"> what you need to know.</a>
What To Know: Boeing announced the resumption of wide-body airplane production at its Everett, Washington facility this week, according to Reuters. 
The production restart comes after the company restarted production of the 737 MAX jetliner last week, about a month after the conclusion of a seven-week strike of 33,000 factory workers.
Boeing Commercial Airplanes CEO Stephanie Pope reportedly confirmed the production restart in a social media post on Tuesday and highlighted steps the company has taken to ensure employees are up to date on training and certifications. 
&#8220;We have taken time to ensure all manufacturing teammates are current on training and certifications, while positioning inventory at the optimal levels for smooth production,&#8221; Pope said.
In November, Boeing delivered 13 commercial jets, a significant drop compared to the 56 deliveries in November, 2023. Deliveries were also lower than October's total of 14 jets, reflecting the impacts of production halts.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has placed a production cap on Boeing's 737 MAX program at 38 planes per month following safety concerns earlier in the year. The FAA has committed to heightened oversight as production resumes and is expected to meet with Boeing to discuss production in January.
&#8220;As we move forward, we will closely track our production health performance indicators and focus on delivering safe, high-quality airplanes on time to our customers,&#8221; Pope added.
BA Price Action: Boeing shares were up 0.51% at $174.03 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Trader Notes: With Bitcoin prices continuing to drop after the Federal Reserve's 0.25% interest rate cut, crypto trader Jelle <a href="https://x.com/CryptoJelleNL/status/1869460166263120005">notes</a> that Bitcoin is still holding key support levels, stating, "Time to let the post-event dust settle, and then we can get this show on the road; price discovery."
Trader Scient highlighted Bitcoin&#8217;s rejection at the channel top near $108,000, an expected move. However, he remains optimistic about the bullish trend within the uptrend channel, adding, "These tend to break to the upside."
Scient <a href="https://x.com/Crypto_Scient/status/1869452559846351087">suggests</a> bidding around the $99,000-$100,000 range if a breakdown occurs. For a breakout, he is targeting $118,000 and $130,000 as potential local tops by January 2025.
Crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez outlined three correction phases leading to a potential bull market peak at $220,000, drawing parallels to Bitcoin&#8217;s patterns from 2017 and 2020.

Shares of financial companies are trading lower amid overall market weakness following the Fed's rate decision to cut rates by 25 basis points.

Brazil&#8217;s currency, the real, has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/brazil">continued its plunge</a> as investors grow skeptical of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva&#8216;s budgetary plans.
The real, the worst-performing currency over the past four market sessions, has fallen over 3% against the US dollar in the past week. Its plunge against American currency is over 21% in the past year.
On Wednesday, Finance Minister Fernando Haddad told reporters that Brazil&#8217;s currency could be the victim of a &#8220;speculative attack,&#8221; Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-18/brazil-finance-chief-says-real-may-be-under-speculative-attack">reports</a>.
"There may be speculative attacks, but I don't want to make a judgment about that, because the Finance Ministry works with fundamentals," Haddad reportedly said. The currency fell even further following the minister&#8217;s remarks.
Investors are skeptical of Lula da Silva&#8217;s budget deficit reduction plan. A series of cost-cutting measures designed to cut 70 billion reais ($11.3 billion) from the country&#8217;s budget was marked up and approved by the lower house of the Brazilian legislature on Tuesday.
The plan, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-08-30/brazil-president-lula-set-to-unveil-unpopular-budget">unveiled</a> over the summer, did not find supporters from within Lula da Silva&#8217;s leftist political party nor from the financial markets.
Lula da Silva, who entered office in 2023, does not have broad support; <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2024/09/23/brazilians-views-of-lula-and-bolsonaro/">according</a> to Pew Research, 48% of Brazilians have a favorable view of the 79-year-old politician.
Brazilian equities, as tracked by the iShares MSCI Brazil ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWZ#NYSE">EWZ</a>), fell by 6% on Wednesday. The benchmark is trading down over 34% in 2024.
