Purple Biotech Shares Halted On Circuit Breaker To The Upside, Stock Now Up 300.3%

Matt Garman, CEO of Amazon.com, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/aws" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">cloud unit</a>, has described artificial intelligence (AI) as an ongoing and transformative technology. In an interview before the Amazon Web Services (AWS) re:Invent conference, Garman emphasized AI&#8217;s endless potential, stating, &#8220;It&#8217;s just a thing that&#8217;s going to happen forever.&#8221; 
The annual event, which kicks off in Las Vegas, is expected to showcase significant AI and cloud computing updates.

The upcoming conference marks Garman&#8217;s first keynote since assuming his role in June. He plans to unveil &#8220;real, needle-moving changes&#8221; in AI, computing, and other vital areas, The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/amazon-web-services-ceo-promises-needle-moving-ai-updates-13d430e0?mod=tech_lead_story" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>. These advancements are critical as AWS faces mounting pressure from competitors like Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and 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>).
According to Gartner, Amazon has seen its global cloud market share dip slightly, falling to 39% in 2023 from 39.9% in 2022. Meanwhile, rivals Microsoft and Google have gained traction, with respective market shares increasing to 23% and 8.2% during the same period. Garman acknowledged this competitive environment but stressed AWS&#8217;s role as a platform offering diverse AI models, likening its approach to &#8220;a bit of everything for everyone.&#8221;
Amazon recently doubled its investment in the AI startup Anthropic to $8 billion, signaling its commitment to staying at the forefront of AI development. The collaboration will leverage AWS&#8217;s Trainium chips, which Garman claims are cost-effective solutions for training AI models.
Bank of America Securities analyst Justin Post deems the expanded <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42176396/amazon-anthropic" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">partnership mutually beneficial</a> for the companies. Amazon gains a strong AI partner to help maintain the AI moat, and Anthropic gains more capital. Post also expects the co-development of Amazon&#8217;s Trainium chip capabilities could accelerate progress and build credibility for the chips.
Bernstein analyst Mark Shmulik considers Amazon a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41737293/amazon-stock-buy-now-pay-off-later-says-analyst" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">substantial investment opportunity</a>. Despite planned increases in infrastructure spending next year, Shmulik emphasizes Amazon&#8217;s ability to generate returns on such investments, particularly in areas like Prime Video.
Shmulik told Yahoo Finance, &#8220;Amazon feels like the name that you can put money to work in and get excited about,&#8221; highlighting AWS revenue showing momentum heading into the fourth quarter, Prime Video investments, and more.
In July, JMP Securities&#8216;&nbsp;Nicholas Jones flagged AWS gaining ground as Microsoft Azure <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/40076014/amazons-aws-growth-expected-to-outpace-microsoft-azure-analyst-optimistic">grappled with softness</a> in some European geographies and capacity constraints.
Investors can gain exposure to Amazon through ProShares Online Retail ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ONLN#NYSE">ONLN</a>) and SPDR Select Sector Fund &#8211; Consumer Discretionary (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLY#NYSE">XLY</a>).

Adding to the mixed signals, CLSK's MACD (moving average convergence/divergence) indicator at 0.68 points to bullish momentum, while its RSI (relative strength index) of 56.04 suggests the stock isn't yet overbought, leaving room for further gains. 
CleanSpark operates low-carbon-powered data centers to support Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>). Its investors should balance optimism with vigilance, keeping an eye on the potential for profit-taking.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy SGBX Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Safe &amp; Green Holdings &#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.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, SGBX has a 52-week high of $14.40 and a 52-week low of $0.38.

A Closer Look at Rivian Automotive's Options Market Dynamics

According to the National Association of Realtors, these government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) guarantee about 70% of U.S. mortgages. Any alterations to their structure could send shock waves through the housing market, impacting everything from mortgage rates to affordability.

</ul>
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have been under federal control since 2008 when the financial crisis pushed them into conservatorship. They are critical to the housing market because they buy mortgages from lenders, package them into securities and sell them to investors.&nbsp;
This process allows banks to maintain the liquidity they need to continue issuing loans that help millions of Americans obtain long-term fixed-rate mortgages.
But it's not just a question of turning control over to private entities. This move could remake the entire housing finance system. Supporters, including former Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) director Mark Calabria, say it's essential.&nbsp;
He has emphasized that systemic issues within Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac need to be addressed during conservatorship.&nbsp;

Speaking at the 2019 National Association of Realtors legislative conference, Calabria noted, &#8220;What Congress decided in HERA [the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008] was, if … Fannie or Freddie got in trouble, they enter conservatorship, we fix the problem and they move on.&#8221;
Privatization advocates argue it would reduce <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40856616/irs-reclaims-1-3-billion-in-back-taxes-from-wealthy-americans-is-this-just-the-beginning">taxpayer</a> risks and bring competition into the market. Critics, however, caution that it could come at a high price for borrowers. Without the implicit guarantee from the government, investors might grow more wary of mortgage-backed securities, forcing up yields and, ultimately, mortgage rates.
Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody's Analytics, is one voice of concern. "House prices would tumble and the 30-year fixed mortgage rate could surge past 7%," Zandi told Fortune in a past interview.
Those concerns aren't abstract. Mortgage rates are already rising. Freddie Mac tracked the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage at 6.84% on Nov. 21, 2024. That's the highest rate since July and an ominous signal for a market struggling with affordability.

Housing prices aren't providing relief, either. According to the National Association of Realtors, the median home price has skyrocketed to $422,100, a 2.9% rise in the past year. For many Americans, the dream of homeownership seems increasingly out of reach.
And it's not just homebuyers who are paying attention. Investors have been responding to the buzz surrounding privatization. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac shares rocketed earlier this month on speculation but have since taken a hit. Analysts at Keefe, Bruyette &amp; Woods downgraded both stocks, citing fears of dilution risks in a possible transition.
The larger housing market makes things even more complicated. In December 2020, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) reported a record-low housing supply of 1.9 months. While inventory rose to 4.2 months by August 2024, it still falls short of demand. With inventory sparse, rising borrowing costs and uncertainty about the fates of Fannie and Freddie, the stakes couldn't be higher.
"It's really not a question of whether change will happen, but how," Michael Fratantoni, chief economist at the Mortgage Bankers Association, said recently in a press statement. "The fate of housing finance is up for grabs."

The U.S. dollar has entered its most historically bearish month of the year, with December often marking a period of seasonal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/currency-etfs">weakness for the greenback</a>.
Over the past half of a century, the U.S. Dollar Index — as tracked by the the Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>) — has declined by nearly 1% on average in December.
With a 7-year streak of losses in this month and new political and economic catalysts on the horizon, could this December finally be different?

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">December: A Month The Dollar Dreads</h2>
Data doesn&#8217;t lie. 
Dating back to 1984 — a 40-year period — the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY), has averaged a 0.91% decline in December, with gains occurring just 35% of the time, according to seasonality data from TradingView.
December hasn't been kind to the greenback since 2017 either—the dollar has closed in the red every year for the last seven Decembers.
Some of the worst December declines for the dollar include 2008, with a drop of 6%, 1991, with a drop of 5.3% and 2000 with a drop of 5.1%. 
Occasionally, the dollar does buck the trend, as seen in 2009 (+4%) and 2011 (+2.3%), but such outliers remain rare.
Dimitri Speck, founder and head analyst at Seasonax, said, "Seasonality also exists in the Forex market. The weakness in the US dollar at the end of the year is driven by US tax legislation."
Speck highlights how U.S. companies reduce tax liabilities by minimizing reported cash on balance sheets at year-end, shifting funds to overseas accounts. This fuels demand for foreign currencies, pressuring the dollar lower. 
&#8220;Many US-based companies save on their tax liabilities by reporting small amounts of cash at the balance sheet date at the end of the year. It can be worthwhile to shift money to the accounts of overseas subsidiaries. The resultant additional demand for foreign currencies affects the exchange rate,&#8221; he said.
Yet, &#8220;after the turn of the year, the tide immediately turns,&#8221; as companies transfer funds back to the U.S., leading to a January recovery for the greenback. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Resilient Dollar In 2024</h3>
In 2024, the dollar has defied gravity.
The DXY index is up 5% year-to-date, staging a remarkable comeback after its 2.1% decline in 2023. 
Notably, the recent rally has been turbocharged by an eight-week winning streak between October and November, marking the greenback's third-strongest two-month gain since 2016.
Third-quarter GDP grew at an annualized 2.8% and the labor market remaining robust.
These factors give the Federal Reserve room to implement only gradual rate cuts, rather than a more aggressive easing path, a sentiment echoed recently by Fed Chair Jerome Powell.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Tug-of-War Between Fundamentals and Seasonality</h3>
Despite the dollar's momentum, December's seasonal headwinds loom large. 
According to Seasonax, the greenback tends to lose ground especially quickly in the second half of the month, before regaining strength in January.
Will the dollar's 2024 strength be enough to break the December curse? Or will year-end tax-driven flows overpower bullish momentum?
For now, history—and some clever accounting tricks by U.S. corporations—suggest December could once again deal a blow to the greenback.
Dollar dominance is also vulnerable if BRICS nations decide to trade in non-dollar currencies. President-elect Donald Trump has threatened the alliance with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42257504/trump-threatens-brics-nations-with-100-tariffs">100% tariffs if it de-dollarizes</a>.
