In a recent study, the National Retail Federation (NRF) warns that Donald Trump&#8217;s proposed tariffs could significantly impact American consumers, potentially reducing annual spending by $78 billion.
What Happened: The NRF study highlights the potential consequences of Trump&#8217;s tariff proposal on consumer goods, particularly those imported from China. The report, released on Monday, suggests that the tariffs could lead to increased prices on essential items such as apparel, toys, and appliances, affecting consumer spending habits, Reuters reported.
Jonathan Gold, NRF&#8217;s vice president of supply chain and customs policy, emphasized the reliance of retailers on imports to offer a diverse range of affordable products. The proposed tariffs, which include a 10% universal tariff on all imports and a possible 60% to 100% tariff on Chinese imports, could disproportionately impact low-income families as costs are passed on to consumers.

The NRF also projects a modest growth in holiday sales, expecting an increase of up to 3.5% to $989 billion, marking the slowest growth in six years.
Why It Matters: The proposed tariffs have sparked significant controversy, with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41561517/trump-pushes-forward-with-controversial-tariff-plan-despite-growing-backlash-from-voters-who-strongl">growing backlash from voters</a> who oppose the plan. An NBC News poll revealed that 44% of voters are less likely to support a candidate advocating for universal tariffs, highlighting the divisive nature of the issue amid economic challenges like inflation and fragile supply chains.
Furthermore, global concerns have been raised about the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41592365/trump-tariffs-will-be-negative-not-just-for-emerging-markets-but-across-the-world-says-singapore">potential negative impact</a> of Trump&#8217;s tariffs. Singapore&#8217;s state-owned investment firm, Temasek, warned that a Trump re-election could slow global growth, affecting U.S. companies and financial markets. The firm expressed concerns about increased uncertainty due to tariffs, which could lead to a stronger dollar and higher rates.

First investor briefings will start soon.
This followed the local court of Weilheim's approval of the insolvency filing of Lilium's German subsidiaries and the court's granting of Lilium's application for self-administration.
Preliminary insolvency proceedings under self-administration are court-ordered restructuring proceedings aimed at preserving the business. The management remains in charge and leads the business through the proceedings, supported by restructuring experts.
The court has appointed to the German subsidiaries' Boards of Management with immediate effect two restructuring-experienced lawyers, Prof. Dr. Gerrit Hölzle and Dr. Thorsten Bieg as Chief Insolvency Officers (CIOs). Both have already successfully advised a large number of companies in crisis situations. Most recently, they worked for Senvion and The Social Chain AG, among others. They will now oversee the reorganization of Lilium's German subsidiaries.
The Local Court of Weilheim has also appointed attorney Mr. Ivo-Meinert Willrodt, Managing Partner at PLUTA Rechtsanwalts GmbH, as the provisional custodian. The restructuring expert is an attorney and specialist lawyer for insolvency and restructuring law and has already acted as trustee for the solar car start-up Sono Motors and the drone manufacturer EMT, among others. His role is to protect the interests of the creditors in the proceedings.

EV giant Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) on Monday said that its Megafactory in Lathrop, California has built its 10,000th Megapack, marking a significant milestone for the company in its energy storage segment.
What Happened: &#8220;Congratulations to the Megafactory team in Lathrop, CA on building the 10,000th Megapack,&#8221; the company said in a post on social media platform X. 
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Megapack is a powerful battery manufactured by the company in addition to its home battery called Powerwall.&nbsp;Each megapack unit can store over 3.9 Megawatt-hours of energy or enough to power an average of 3,600 homes for an hour.
&#8220;Quite a makeover accomplished by the Lathrop Energy Manufacturing team: converting a former JC Penny warehouse to the largest utility battery manufacturing plant in the world!&#8221; former Tesla senior executive Drew Baglino wrote.
Baglino was the Senior Vice President of Powerwall and Energy until April earlier this year. 
Why It Matters: In the three months through the end of September, Tesla's energy generation and storage revenue touched <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41537560/teslas-energy-segment-boom-in-q3-sparks-leadership-changes-veteran-mike-snyder-promoted-as-vp">$2,376 million, marking a growth of 52% </a>as compared to the corresponding period of last year. The energy business achieved a record gross margin of 30.5% and the powerwall product achieved record deployments.
Tesla currently operates a Megafactory only in Lathrop, California, capable of making 10,000 Megapack units in a year. The company is also putting up a Megafactory in Shanghai which it expects to start shipping Megapacks in the first quarter of 2025.
For the full year 2024, Tesla now expects to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39615273/tesla-more-than-doubles-energy-storage-deployment-to-mark-its-best-quarter-yet-even-as-ev-demand-con">deploy twice the energy storage deployed last year</a>, or roughly 29.4 GWh of energy storage.

Elon Musk&#8216;s political posts on X have garnered 17.1 billion views since he endorsed former President Donald Trump in July, more than double the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40852207/meta-exec-slams-elon-musks-x-as-tiny-platform-that-allows-anyone-say-anything">reach of all U.S. political campaign advertisements</a> on the platform combined, according to a new study by the Center for Countering Digital Hate.
What Happened:&nbsp;The research revealed that 87 of Musk&#8217;s posts this year containing false or misleading claims about U.S. elections accumulated 2 billion views. None of these posts featured a Community Note, X&#8217;s user-generated fact-checking system.
The CCDH analysis found that achieving similar viewership through paid political advertising would cost approximately $24 million, based on X&#8217;s average cost per thousand views of $1.39 for political campaign ads.
The study identified several categories of misleading content in Musk&#8217;s posts:
<ul>
<li>Claims about Democrats &#8220;importing voters&#8221; received nearly 1.3 billion views across 66 posts</li>
<li>Assertions about unreliable voting systems reached 532 million views through 19 posts</li>
<li>Posts questioning mail-in ballots and voter ID requirements garnered significant engagement</li>
</ul>
&#8220;Triple digit increases of illegals in swing states over the past 4 years. Voter importation at an unprecedented scale!&#8221; read one post that received 21 million views.

</figure>
Why It Matters:&nbsp;During the same period, all U.S. political campaign ads on X received 7.7 billion views at a total cost of $10.7 million, less than half the reach of Musk&#8217;s political posts.
The study examined 746 posts from Musk between Jul. 13 and Oct. 25, using terms associated with U.S. elections. The analysis included original posts and quotes but excluded reposts.
A recent Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/elections/x-twitter-political-content-election-2024-28f2dadd">study</a> found that Musk&#8217;s posts appeared at the top of users&#8217; feeds more frequently than any other user&#8217;s content, even for those following non-political topics.

Elon Musk's Political Posts Garner 17B Views Since Endorsing Trump, Outpace All Political Campaign Ads Combined On X: Study Reveals 87 Misleading Claims With 2B Views

In a novel approach to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">predicting election outcomes</a>, three young entrepreneurs have developed an AI polling startup that offers faster and cheaper predictions than traditional pollsters.
The model will be put&nbsp;to the test in the&nbsp;upcoming 2024 Donald Trump vs. Kamala Harris election.
What Happened: The startup,&nbsp;Aaru, was co-founded by 19-year-old college dropouts,&nbsp;Cam Fink&nbsp;and&nbsp;Ned Koh, along with 15-year-old&nbsp;John Kessler, <a href="https://www.semafor.com/article/11/04/2024/an-ai-polling-startup-polls-bots-predicts-harris-will-win">reported</a> Semafor.
The team uses census and demographic data to create&nbsp;AI avatars of voters, each&nbsp;with hundreds of personality traits. These avatars are then fed with news and information, and polled on their voting preferences.
The Aaru team has&nbsp;recreated the electorate in key&nbsp;states with representative bots&nbsp;and polled them about their&nbsp;preferences. 
The models had access&nbsp;to news up until midnight&nbsp;Sunday, including information&nbsp;about Trump's weekend rally&nbsp;in Pennsylvania and Harris'&nbsp;in Michigan.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41704893/steve-ballmer-is-betting-40m-on-facts-as-heated-trump-harris-battle-reaches-peak-crescendo-how-ex-mi?itm_source=parsely-api" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Steve Ballmer Is Betting $40M On Facts As Heated Trump-Harris Battle Reaches Peak Crescendo</a>
The simulation has been run multiple times, predicting&nbsp;the probability of Trump winning&nbsp;Arizona at 73.3%, North Carolina&nbsp;at 62.1%, and Georgia at&nbsp;61.8%.
Meanwhile,&nbsp;Harris' odds of winning Michigan&nbsp;are predicted&nbsp;at 63.3%, Nevada at 53.4%,&nbsp;Pennsylvania at 52.4% and Wisconsin&nbsp;at 50.9%.
Aaru's system, designed to be faster and more cost-effective than traditional polling, has the advantage of bots always &#8220;answering the phone.&#8221;
However, experts from Harvard's Ash Center warn that outdated training data could introduce errors, emphasizing that humans may still be needed to fill in gaps, the report noted.

Why It Matters: The 2024 U.S. presidential election, set for Nov. 5, will see Democratic nominee Harris go head-to-head with Republican candidate Trump.
While Harris held a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/11/41733277/harris-vs-trump-vice-president-has-two-point-lead-in-final-election-poll-swing-states-remain-clo">narrow lead over Trump</a> in the last Morning Consult poll before Election Day, prediction markets and betting odds have shown her trailing the former president significantly. 
The last Emerson poll indicated a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/11/41728436/trump-vs-harris-2024-election-deadlocked-final-emerson-poll-shows-one-candidate-with-small-edge-">tight contest between the candidates</a>, challenging the strong victory for Trump projected by prediction markets and sportsbooks.
On the eve of the election, Trump regained his lead over Harris in online prediction markets. However, analysts from FiveThirtyEight, and Nate Silver noted that the race remained <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/11/41730670/prediction-markets-swing-back-to-trump-but-data-analysts-say-its-too-close-to-call">too close to definitively predict a winner</a>.

Trump Vs. Harris: Meet The Teens Using AI To Call 2024 Election Faster, Cheaper Than Pollsters

MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>), a stock considered an alternative to Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) investment, received a bullish signal from moving average (MA) technical indicators.
What happened: According to the financial market analytics <a href="https://in.tradingview.com/symbols/NASDAQ-MSTR/technicals/">platform </a>TradingView, nearly all of the simple and exponential MAs flashed a &#8220;Buy&#8221; rating for the stock, culminating in a net &#8220;Strong Buy&#8221; signal.
Moving averages smooth out price data by creating a constantly updated average price. Typically, if the price is above a moving average, the trend is up. If the price is below a moving average, the trend is down.
On the contrary, momentum indicators painted a different story. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator, which compares a stock&#8217;s short-term price to its long-term price, flashed a ‘Sell' signal as of this writing.
Similarly, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator used for spotting overbought or oversold conditions showed a ‘Neutral' reading for the stock.

The analysis of MicroStrategy's options trading market also exhibited a bearish sentiment.
The stock had a Put/Call Ratio of 1.2 as of this writing, according to the market analytics <a href="https://fintel.io/sopt/us/mstr">platform </a>Fintel, indicating that downside bets outnumbered bullish ones.
Why It Matters: MicroStrategy adopted Bitcoin as its primary reserve asset in August 2020, becoming the first publicly listed company to pursue this strategy.
Since then, it has gained 1989% in value, surpassing some of the biggest names on Wall Street, including artificial intelligence darling Nvidia Corp. The company's stock has outperformed the famed &#8220;Mag 7&#8221; group of companies in 2024, with year-to-date gains of 225%.
MicroStrategy holds about 252,220 BTCs, worth $17.37 billion, on its balance sheet, as per its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41646462/michael-saylor-says-bitcoin-remedy-to-fix-unhealthy-balance-sheets-as-microstrategy-unveil">recently released third-quarter earnings report.&nbsp;</a>
The firm announced that it would raise $42 billion over the next three years through equity and debt financing to buy more Bitcoin.

Both Vanguard and BlackRock&#8217;s ETFs charge an annual fee of 3 basis points, attracting retail investors. The ETF market has seen substantial growth, with assets exceeding $10 trillion in the U.S., nearly doubling over four years, according to ETFGI.
Why It Matters: The rise of Vanguard&#8217;s VOO reflects a broader trend of investors gravitating towards lower-cost ETFs. In May, a significant shift among major ETFs, with<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/05/38738050/investors-flock-to-lower-cost-vanguard-s-p-500-etf-is-it-time-to-switch-from-spy-to-voo"> SPY experiencing outflows</a> while VOO attracted new investments. This trend indicates a growing preference for cost-effective investment options among investors.
Additionally, in September, Vanguard&#8217;s ETFs<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/09/41033617/voo-vs-vti-vanguards-s-p-500-total-stock-market-etfs-hit-new-highs-as-s-p-500-reaches-record-level"> reached new highs</a> as the S&amp;P 500 Index hit record levels, further solidifying Vanguard&#8217;s position in the market.

Vanguard Dethrones BlackRock As Second Largest ETF Manager: Here's How Their Funds With Exposure To S&P 500 Fared This Year

Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) remains a compelling investment opportunity despite increased infrastructure spending planned for the coming year, according to Bernstein analyst Mark Shmulik, who maintains an &#8220;Outperform&#8221; rating on the stock <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/41734887/cathie-woods-latest-shake-up-dumps-palantir-and-jack-dorseys-block-along-with-tesla-buys-amazon-">with a $235 price target</a>.
What Happened:&nbsp;&#8220;Amazon feels like the name that you can put money to work in and get excited about,&#8221; Shmulik <a href="https://x.com/YahooFinance/status/1853538096291225888">told</a> Yahoo Finance in a recent interview. The analyst highlighted several key factors supporting his optimistic outlook:
<ul>
<li>AWS revenue growth shows promising momentum heading into the fourth quarter.</li>
<li>Prime Video investments are strategically timed for the holiday shopping season.</li>
<li>Core business operations are &#8220;on solid footing and accelerating.&#8221;</li>
<li>The company is building the groundwork for &#8220;a very solid 2025&#8221; in terms of free cash flow.</li>
</ul>
While acknowledging increased infrastructure spending plans for the coming year, Shmulik emphasized that Amazon&#8217;s investments typically demonstrate good returns on investment, particularly in areas like Prime Video.

This strong performance has been a key driver of investor optimism. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41664778/amazon-q3-earnings-highlights-revenue-beat-eps-beat-q4-guidance-new-kindles-significantly-outperfor">Amazon&#8217;s third-quarter earnings</a> also included a positive outlook for the fourth quarter, with expected net sales ranging from $181.5 billion to $188.5 billion.
Additionally, analysts have highlighted the growth potential of AWS, which is in the early stages of a significant AI cycle. The advertising segment is also seen as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41692259/amazon-analysts-see-growth-ahead-with-aws-in-early-innings-of-a-big-ai-cycle-advert">fast-growing asset for Amazon</a>.

Ford Motor Co.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) electric vehicle sales in the U.S. dropped 8.3% in October following a drop in demand for its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/ford-f-150-lightning">F-150 Lightning EV pickup truck</a>.
What Happened: Ford sold 6,264 electric vehicles in October, with its Mustang Mach-E SUV accounting for a majority of sales. 
The company delivered 3,313 units of the electric SUV, marking a surge of about 21% from the corresponding month last year. F-150 Lightning sales, however, dropped by about 50% to 1,863 units, dragging overall EV sales lower. 
Sales of the E-Transit electric van, meanwhile, jumped 181%.

Despite the drop in EV sales, Ford&#8217;s overall vehicle sales soared over 15% last month to 172,756 units, owing to the rise in sales for both hybrid and internal combustion engine vehicles. Combustion engine vehicles accounted for about 86% of the company&#8217;s overall vehicle sales during the month. 
Why It Matters: Last week, Ford said that it would halt production of the F-150 Lightning for six weeks from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41661764/ford-to-halt-f-150-ev-production-for-7-weeks-next-month" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nov. 18 to Jan. 6</a>&nbsp;at the Rouge Electric Vehicle Plant.
&#8220;We continue to adjust production for an optimal mix of sales growth and profitability," a company spokesperson told <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga</a> about the decision.
The Lightning pickup truck is up against Tesla's Cybertruck in the U.S. While Tesla sold 16,692 Cybertrucks in the third quarter, Ford sold only 7,162 units of the Lightning, according to data from<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41325252/tesla-cybertruck-leads-the-pack-as-most-popular-ev-truck-in-us-in-q3-outselling-rivals-from-ford-gm" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;Kelley Blue Book</a>.
In August, Ford said that it is&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/08/40496864/ford-scraps-electric-suv-as-it-adjusts-to-lower-electric-vehicle-demand" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">killing its plans to build a three-row electric SUV</a>, initially slated for production in 2025. The company also postponed its plans for a new electric version of its F-150 pickup to 2027 and said it will start making a new electric commercial van in 2026.
For the third quarter, Ford&#8217;s EV segment called &#8220;Model e&#8221; reported an EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) loss of $1.2 billion after&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41597865/fords-ev-segment-weighed-down-by-pricing-pressures-competition-ceo-jim-farley-points-out-very-aggres" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">cost improvements were offset by industrywide pricing pressure</a>, taking its loss this year through the end of September to $3.7 billion. The company now expects a full-year EBIT loss of $5 billion from the segment.
Price Action: Ford shares closed up by about 1.4% on Monday at $10.36. The stock is down by about 14.8% year-to-date, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
