Europe And Asia Markets Gain; Dollar Set For 7% Annual Gain - Global Markets Today While Us Slept

Shares of&nbsp;GameStop Corp&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) saw a decline of 2.09% during pre-market hours following an initial surge driven by social media activity as per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro.</a>
The stock&#8217;s initial rise was triggered by a post from&nbsp;Keith Gill, also known as &#8220;Roaring Kitty,&#8221; who shared a mysterious image on X, formerly known as Twitter. This post, made on Dec. 25, featured a wrapped ‘Christmas Present' and sparked speculation among retail investors, leading to a 7.68% increase&nbsp;in after-hours trading on Robinhood,&nbsp;with shares reaching a peak of $33.50. However, the stock later declined as investors took profits.
Meme stocks like GameStop often gain momentum&nbsp;through viral popularity and speculative&nbsp;trading, which are heavily influenced by social media and active retail communities. While these stocks can offer significant gains, they are also known for their high volatility and the risk of substantial losses.

Despite the recent surge in activity, GameStop&#8217;s stock holds&nbsp;a consensus price target of&nbsp;$10 from analysts, with&nbsp;Wedbush&nbsp;maintaining this target since Sep. 11. The&nbsp;average price target of $9.33&nbsp;suggests a potential downside of 71.10% from current levels, according to the latest analyst ratings.
The recent social media-driven surge in GameStop shares is reminiscent of the 2021 meme stock phenomenon, where retail investors, fueled by platforms like Reddit, drove up the prices of certain stocks, including GameStop. 
Meme stocks gain their fame through viral popularity and speculative trading, fueled primarily by social media buzz and active retail investor communities. While they can deliver quick, substantial gains, they also carry extreme volatility and the potential for heavy losses.

Pre-Market Outlook

General

GameStop Shares Dip In Friday's Premarket After Surging Nearly 6% In Last Session, Fueled By Roaring Kitty's 'Christmas Present'

Planemaker Boeing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) is reportedly witnessing an increased number of its engineers leaving for space companies. 
What Happened: The average tenure of a Boeing engineer has dropped to 12.6 years from 16.4 years over the last decade, the Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/5dea45ef-25c7-4b5c-ad8a-9984ec66bf53">reported</a>, citing data from the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace, a union representing 12,000 Boeing engineers. As per union data, the tenure is shortening in every age bracket.
The departure of engineering talent could make it harder for the company to launch a new plane, the report noted, while adding that the struggling plane maker is serving as a good place for space companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin to poach talent from.
While rival space companies continue to aim big and develop new vehicles, Boeing is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42377203/boeing-chief-lobbyist-ziad-ojakli-leaves-troubled-planemaker-report">yet to announce a new plane</a>, FT noted. 
"Boeing is an airplane company and at the right time in the future, we need to develop a new airplane. But we have a lot of work to do before then," Ortberg said during the company&#8217;s third-quarter earnings call.
Boeing did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment.
Why It Matters: Boeing has been struggling since the start of the year when a door panel flew off an Alaska Airlines jet manufactured by the company. 
Later in the year, technical issues were identified with the Starliner spacecraft manufactured by the company, causing space agency NASA to opt out of bringing back the two astronauts who flew on Starliner to the International Space Station on the same spacecraft. The astronauts are now slated to return to Earth on a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft no earlier than March. 
Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg said in October that Boeing would downsize its workforce by 10%. The layoff is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41301576/boeing-announces-10-workforce-reduction-amidst-ongoing-struggles-impacting-nearly-17k-employees">expected to impact nearly 17,000 jobs</a>. Ortberg then said that the layoffs are necessary to align with Boeing's financial reality and future recovery plans.
Price Action: Boeing shares closed up 0.6% at $180.38 on Thursday. The stock is down 28.4% year-to-date, according to data from Benzinga Pro. 
Boeing has a consensus price target of $197.85 based on the ratings of 23 analysts tracked by Benzinga. The analysts have a consensus &#8220;buy&#8221; rating on the stock.

BeiGene, Ltd. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BGNE#NASDAQ">BGNE</a>, HKEX: 06160, SSE: 688235))), a global oncology company that intends to change its name to BeOne Medicines Ltd., today announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved TEVIMBRA&#xAE; (tislelizumab-jsgr), in combination with platinum and fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy, for the first-line treatment of unresectable or metastatic HER2-negative gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (G/GEJ) in adults whose tumors express PD-L1 (≥1).
"Today's FDA approval of TEVIMBRA for the treatment of gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancers in PD-L1 positive adult patients marks a significant step forward in our mission to deliver transformative therapies to patients with cancer," said Mark Lanasa, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Medical Officer, Solid Tumors at BeiGene. "This is the second U.S. approval for TEVIMBRA this year, underscoring its potential to address critical needs in oncology. We remain deeply grateful to the patients, clinicians, and researchers whose commitment and courage have made this progress possible—and we look forward to building on this momentum in 2025."
The additional indication for first-line G/GEJ cancers is based on results from BeiGene's RATIONALE-305 (<a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fclinicaltrials.gov%2Fstudy%2FNCT03777657&amp;esheet=54171021&amp;newsitemid=20241227403101&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=NCT03777657&amp;index=1&amp;md5=30e9cd81ec8a563b14e02fe5d32103f4">NCT03777657</a>), a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, global Phase 3 trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TEVIMBRA in combination with chemotherapy as a first-line treatment for adult patients with advanced unresectable or metastatic G/GEJ cancer. The study met its primary endpoint and demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful overall survival (OS) benefit with a median OS of 15.0 months for patients treated with TEVIMBRA in combination with the investigator's choice of chemotherapy compared to 12.9 months for patients treated with placebo plus chemotherapy (n=997; HR: 0.80 [95% CI: 0.70, 0.92]; P=0.0011), resulting in a 20% reduction in the risk of death.
The pooled safety data in the application included 1,972 patients who received TEVIMBRA monotherapy in two randomized open-label, active-controlled studies (RATIONALE-302, BGB-A317-303) and five open-label, single-arm studies (BGB-A317-208, BGB-A317-204, BGB-A317-203, BGB-A317-102, BGB A317_Study_001), which enrolled 307 patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and 1,665 patients with advanced or recurrent tumors. The most common Grade 3 or 4 adverse reactions for TEVIMBRA given in combination with chemotherapy were neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, anemia, fatigue, hypokalemia, hyponatremia, pneumonia, decreased appetite, rash, lymphopenia, alanine aminotransferase increased, aspartate aminotransferase increased, diarrhea, pneumonitis, and hepatitis.
TEVIMBRA is also approved in the U.S. as monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) after prior systemic chemotherapy that did not include a PD-(L)1 inhibitor. An additional Biologics License Application (BLA) is under review at the FDA for the first-line treatment of adult patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic ESCC.

BeiGene Gains FDA Nod for TEVIMBRA, Marking Key Progress in Oncology Treatments

Larry Ellison closes out a remarkable year as Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) sees its strongest stock rally since the dot-com era, adding nearly $75 billion to Ellison&#8217;s net worth.
What Happened: Oracle&#8217;s shares have climbed 63% in 2024, significantly outpacing the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s 27% gain. This boost has elevated Ellison&#8217;s net worth to over $217 billion, positioning him just behind&nbsp;Elon Musk&nbsp;and&nbsp;Jeff Bezos&nbsp;in global wealth rankings, according to Forbes, CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/26/larry-ellison-net-worth-jumps-on-oracle-gains-as-he-turns-80.html">reported</a> on Friday.
Oracle&#8217;s success is linked to its strategic moves in the AI sector, leveraging its cloud infrastructure technology. Partnerships with companies like OpenAI and Meta have bolstered Oracle&#8217;s market presence. Despite a recent earnings report that fell short of expectations, Ellison remains optimistic about future growth.

Oracle&#8217;s revenue is projected to grow by about 10% in the current fiscal year, marking its second-strongest expansion since 2011. Ellison&#8217;s leadership and strategic partnerships, including recent collaborations with Microsoft and Amazon, are expected to drive further growth.
Why It Matters: The rise in Oracle&#8217;s stock is largely attributed to its strategic positioning in the AI sector.&nbsp;Dan Ives highlighted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42404918/oracle-positioned-to-benefit-from-enterprise-revolution-says-dan-ives-the-software-phase-of-the-ai-revolution-is-now-here">Oracle&#8217;s potential to benefit</a> from the enterprise software AI revolution. He emphasized Oracle&#8217;s competitive edge in the enterprise space, particularly its cloud infrastructure and software stack.
Despite a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/12/42400723/oracle-q2-earnings-revenue-miss-eps-miss-ai-growth-ellison-says-opportunity-is-unimaginable">recent earnings report</a>&nbsp;that missed expectations, Oracle reported a 9% year-over-year increase in second-quarter revenue. Ellison described the AI growth opportunity as &#8220;unimaginable,&#8221; underscoring the company&#8217;s focus on expanding its cloud and AI capabilities.
Oracle&#8217;s strategic moves and partnerships in AI and cloud technology are expected to continue driving its growth, making it a key player in the evolving tech landscape.
Price Action: Oracle was trading 0.21% lower on Friday during pre-market hours, as per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk on Thursday applauded the contribution of German scientists including Wernher von Braun in America&#8217;s space race against China. 
What Happened: &#8220;Indeed. Until they were applied to the US space program, America was losing the space race badly,&#8221; Musk wrote in a post on X. 
Earlier this week, Musk had mourned the shortage of engineering talent in America.

Why It Matters: The U.S. hired several German scientists for the development of its space program including Wernher von Braun after World War 2&nbsp;as part of&nbsp;Operation Paperclip, a secret United States intelligence program. 
A former Nazi party member, von Braun developed the rocket that launched United States&#8217; first space satellite Explorer 1. He was also key to developing the Saturn V launch vehicle which enabled the U.S. to send humans to the Moon under its Apollo program. As of today,&nbsp;the Saturn V remains the only launch vehicle to have carried humans beyond&nbsp;low Earth orbit&nbsp;(LEO).

Elon Musk Applauds Contribution Of German Scientist Wernher Von Braun To America's Space Program

The cryptocurrency market could experience major volatility following the largest Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) options expiry in history on Friday.
What Happened: According to leading cryptocurrency <a href="https://www.deribit.com/statistics/BTC/metrics/options">derivatives exchange</a> Deribit, Bitcoin options contracts, with nearly $14.38 billion in notional value expired at 3:00 a.m. ET.
This figure accounted for 70% of the total Open Interest for BTC options across different expiration dates.
Options are derivatives that give the buyer of the contract the right to buy or sell the underlying asset at a predetermined price and date. Typically, high Open Interest in options trading indicates that there are many market participants and new money is entering the market.
A call option gives the purchaser the right to buy an asset, while a put option allows them to sell assets at an agreed-upon price. As of this writing, the put/call ratio was 0.61, indicating a bullish sentiment as more traders were betting on price increases.
The next most significant date for traders is set for Jan. 31, when around $5.48 billion worth of options will expire.

Why It Matters: Talking to Benzinga previously, Deribit&nbsp;CEO&nbsp;Luuk Strijers had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42655154/84000-is-bitcoins-worst-case-options-trading-firm-ceo-says">flagged $84,000</a> as the "max pain" level for Bitcoin, hinting at Bitcoin&#8217;s potential drop to this level.

Why Evaxion Biotech Shares Are Trading Higher By Around 62%; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

As the year-end approaches, concerns are mounting over the potential disruption of the traditional &#8220;Santa Claus rally&#8221; in the stock market. Lawrence G. McMillan, a seasoned trader and author, has raised alarms about what he calls the &#8216;Grinch pinch,&#8217; which could impact this seasonal market phenomenon.
What Happened: McMillan analyzed the current state of the stock market in a recent op-ed <a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/santa-claus-rally-begins-but-will-the-stock-market-avoid-a-grinch-pinch-b00cd0bb">published </a>in MarketWatch on Friday, focusing on the S&amp;P 500 Index. The index is attempting to rebound from a sharp decline following the U.S. Federal Reserve&#8217;s December meeting. While the VIX has decreased and market indicators appear positive, McMillan warns that the market remains within a broad trading range between 5,870 and 6,100, with notable resistance and support levels.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42638862/kiyosaki-warns-of-global-financial-crisis-protect-your-wealth-by-investing-in-real-assets?itm_source=parsely-api" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&#8216;Rich Dad Poor Dad&#8217; Author Robert Kiyosaki Warns Of Global Financial Crisis: &#8216;Invest In Real Assets To Protect Your Wealth by Investing in Real Assets&#8217;</a>
Despite the market entering a bullish seasonal period known as the &#8220;Santa Claus rally,&#8221; McMillan advises investors to remain vigilant. 
The &#8220;Grinch pinch&#8221; refers to potential negative factors that could impede this rally. Although market breadth is improving, new lows on the NYSE still surpass new highs. McMillan suggests maintaining a core bullish position as long as the SPX stays above 5,870.
&#8220;In other words, the outlook for stocks can be quite negative if the market does not rally during this period,&#8221; he said.
Why It Matters: The &#8220;Santa Claus rally&#8221; is a well-documented phenomenon where the stock market tends to deliver gains during the final trading days of December. Historically, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/12/42675763/santa-rally-serial-winners-10-stocks-historically-poised-for-big-year-end-gains">S&amp;P 500</a> has gained in 64 out of the last 96 years during the Dec. 24–Dec. 31 window, averaging a 0.85% return. Notably, in 2018, the S&amp;P 500 surged 6.6%, marking its strongest year-end rally on record.
Despite recent declines in U.S. stock futures post-Christmas, analysts remain optimistic about a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42681352/us-futures-tumble-after-christmas-break-but-analysts-still-expect-a-santa-claus-rally">potential Santa Rally</a> into the New Year. The S&amp;P 500 is on track for a robust 20% plus return for the second consecutive year in 2024. With a high probability of no change in interest rates for the upcoming Jan. 31, 2025 decision, the market outlook remains cautiously optimistic.
Price Action: As per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro,</a> as of Friday pre-market hours, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) which tracks the S&amp;P 500 has increased by 1.68% in the past five days. During the same time frame, the Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) which tracks the Nasdaq-100 Index has increased by 1.65%.

Expert Warns Of Potential 'Grinch Pinch' Impacting Santa Claus Rally: 'The Outlook For Stocks Can Be Quite Negative'

Discussions around quantum computing have surged since Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) subsidiary Google teased its next-generation chip, &#8220;Willow," sparking interest in equities tied to the technology.
What happened: Shares of Quantum Computing Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QUBT#NASDAQ">QUBT</a>), a company specializing in quantum machine offerings, have soared 157% <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42397333/google-quantum-ais-willow-chip-outsmarts-supercomputers-completing-tasks-in-minutes-that-would-take-10-septillion-years">since the unveil</a>, reaching levels not seen since Jun. 2010. The stock closed at a multi-year high of $25.68 on Dec. 2018.
In doing so, QUBT outperformed the influential "Magnificent 7" cohort and even the red-hot, MicroStrategy Inc. 
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42665539/north-korean-hackers-suspected-presence-triggers-over-500-million-in-outflows-from-crypto-exchange">North Korean Hackers&#8217; Suspected Presence Triggers Over $500 Million In Outflows From Crypto Exchange</a>
Why It Matters: Google's quantum chip, Willow, can perform a standard benchmark computation in less than five minutes, a task that could take the world's fastest supercomputers forever.&nbsp;
The unprecedented speed represented a significant breakthrough in quantum computing, paving the way for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/42641144/atlanta-software-developers-dives-into-quantum-computing-and-willow">practical applications</a> in sectors like drug discovery and energy systems.
Apart from the Willow-induced hype, QUBT stock soared after the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42554980/whats-going-on-with-quantum-computing-qubt-stock">company secured a major contract with NASA</a> for image and data processing support.&nbsp;
Interestingly, while Willow's capabilities signaled a bright prospect for quantum computing and associated investments, concerns about it breaking the cryptographic algorithms had the opposite effect on Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), the world's largest cryptocurrency.
Bitcoin has dropped 3.6% since the chip unveil, reflecting a divergent trajectory.
While experts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42455205/will-googles-new-willow-chip-break-bitcoin-some-dismiss-it-as-fantasy-while-others-flag-risk-that-isnt-immediate">have debated</a> whether the threat is immediate, a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42546731/bitcoin-could-require-over-300-days-of-downtime-to-prepare-it-for-the-quantum-era-shows-study-amid-google-willow-chip-concern">study estimated </a>that the network would require over 300 days of downtime to protect against risks from quantum computing.&nbsp;
Price Action: Shares of Quantum Computing rallied 12.6% to close at $19.14 during Thursday's regular session, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $96,313.62, down 1.75% in the last 24 hours.

UniFirst Gears Up For Q1 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed some easing in the fear level, while the index remained in the &#8220;Fear&#8221; zone on Thursday.
U.S. stocks settled mixed on Thursday, with the Dow Jones index closing slightly higher during the session. The market was shut on Wednesday for Christmas Day.
Month to date, the S&amp;P 500 gained 0.1%, while the Nasdaq has surged 4.2%, driven by significant gains in Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>). The blue-chip Dow, however, fell around 3.5% during the month.
On the economic data front, U.S. initial jobless claims fell by 1,000 from the previous week to a reading of 219,000 during the second week of December, compared to market estimates of 224,000.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a positive note, with healthcare, financial, and real estate stocks recording the biggest gains on Thursday. However, consumer discretionary and communication services stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session lower.
The Dow Jones closed higher by around 29 points to 43,325.80 on Thursday. The S&amp;P 500 fell 0.04% to 6,037.59, while the Nasdaq Composite slipped 0.05% at 20,020.36 during Thursday's session.
What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
At a current reading of 35.1, the index remained in the &#8220;Fear&#8221; zone on Thursday, versus a prior reading of 34.
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.
