Elon Musk&#8216;s rocket manufacturing company SpaceX said on Wednesday that it is planning the next and sixth flight of its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/starship">Starship launch vehicle</a> as early as Nov. 18.
What Happened: &#8220;As is the case with all developmental testing, the schedule is dynamic and likely to change, so be sure to check in here and stay tuned to our X account for updates,&#8221; the company said.
For the next test flight, the company aims to catch Starship&#8217;s booster back at the launch site as on the last flight and splash down the upper stage in the Indian Ocean.
The company said that future Starship vehicles, starting from the one planned for the seventh flight test, will feature &#8220;significant upgrades.&#8221; They will have redesigned forward flaps, larger propellant tanks, and the latest generation tiles and secondary thermal protection layers, it said. 
Past Flights: On Starship's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41317860/elon-musk-went-from-examining-debris-from-falcon-1-flight-to-spacex-successfully-catching-booster-of">fifth flight test in October</a>, it lifted off from Starbase, and the booster returned to Earth after propelling Starship to space. The booster was subsequently caught by the launch tower at Starbase.
The Starship, meanwhile, went on to space and splashed down on target in the Indian Ocean.
The recovery of the booster was a key objective of the flight test and demonstrated the reusability of the Starship's design. SpaceX is aiming to make the Starship a completely reusable spacecraft that can fly multiple times, thereby reducing the cost of spaceflight.
Why It Matters: Starship is key to NASA&#8217;s dreams of taking humans back to the surface of the Moon.
NASA&#8217;s Artemis 3 mission slated to launch no earlier than September 2026 is expected to enable humans to land back on the surface of the moon with the help of a lunar lander variant of the Starship spacecraft. The last time humans set foot on the Moon was in 1972&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36692749/just-a-worse-version-of-apollo-elon-musk-baffled-by-nasa-veterans-push-to-ditch-spacex-blue-origin-a" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">with Apollo 17</a>. Since then, no crew has traveled beyond low-Earth orbit.
Musk, meanwhile, is eyeing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40770222/elon-musk-sets-2026-for-starships-first-uncrewed-mars-mission-targeting-successful-landing" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">taking humans to Earth&#8217;s neighboring planet Mars</a> aboard the Starship. In September, he said that the first Starship launch to Mars is expected in 2026 and that it will not have a crew on board.

SpaceX's Starship To Fly Again In Less Than 2 Weeks

A wave of concern is sweeping through the athletic footwear industry as Donald Trump&#8216;s proposed import tariffs threaten to significantly impact sneaker manufacturers and retailers. The potential policies could especially affect companies heavily <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41795320/trumps-20-tariff-plans-could-unleash-wave-of-spending-on-big-ticket-buys-in-holiday-quarter-says-eco">dependent on Asian manufacturing hubs</a>.
What Happened: Industry leaders are bracing for impact after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/11/41774549/trumps-big-tech-policies-what-gop-victory-means-for-apple-google-microsoft">Trump proposed a 20% blanket tariff</a> on all imports and a steep 60% levy specifically on Chinese goods. The footwear sector, which already faces substantial import duties, could see production costs surge further.
Wall Street reflected these concerns as major athletic wear stocks declined. Nike (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) fell 3.41%, while Adidas (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADDYY#OTC">ADDYY</a>) dropped 3.62%. Under Armour (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAA#NYSE">UAA</a>) saw a 1.35% decrease, and VF Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VFC#NYSE">VFC</a>), owner of Vans, declined 2.67%.
&#8220;It&#8217;s a huge headwind for the entire industry,&#8221; Brooks Running CEO Dan Sheridan <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/starbucks-ceo-no-plans-to-move-hq-out-of-seattle-as-the-company-attempts-a-turnaround-214425009.html">told</a> Yahoo Finance, noting that footwear companies currently navigate a 20% tariff on Chinese imports and approximately 27% on Vietnamese goods.
Benzinga contacted several impacted companies but did not receive an immediate response.

Why It Matters: The industry&#8217;s vulnerability stems from its heavy reliance on Asian manufacturing hubs, including China, Vietnam, and Indonesia. Additional levies could force companies to either absorb higher costs or pass them on to consumers.
Trump&#8217;s proposed policies follow his election victory over Democrat Kamala Harris, where he secured 277 electoral votes and 51% of the popular vote, according to Associated Press figures.
Some companies showed resilience amid the market uncertainty. Puma (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PMMAF#OTC">PMMAF</a>) gained 2.10%, while Deckers Outdoor Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DECK#NYSE">DECK</a>), the parent company of Hoka One One, edged up 0.67%.

Hershey, Upwork And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Thursday

Long-term holders of Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) began to profit-take on their holdings amid a rapid surge in the cryptocurrency&#8217;s price.
What Happened: Two long-term investors sold a total of 33,701 ETH, worth $89.72 million, on Wednesday, according to on-chain tracking platform Spot On Chain.
A whale offloaded 25,000 ETH, earned from the project&#8217;s Initial Coin Offering (ICO) in 2014, to popular cryptocurrency exchange Kraken, leaving a balance of 64,450 ETH. The sale amounted to nearly $65.67 million.
During the ICO, the price of ETH was $0.311 per unit, bringing the total cost basis of 25,000 ETH to $7,775. With the sale, the investor netted a staggeting profit of 844530%.
Similarly, an investor reappeared after 8.75 years to sell 8,701 ETH for $24.05 million in USD Coin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>) at approximately $2,764 per ETH. This left the holder with 2,304 ETH, valued at $6.48 million, and a profit of $30.48 million, marking a staggering 689x return.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Why It Matters: The sell-off by these major holders comes amidst a significant spike in the price of ETH. The second-largest cryptocurrency jumped over 10% in just 24 hours, spurred by a broader rally in the market on Donald Trump&#8217;s presidential victory. 
Whale interest was clearly up, as <a href="https://app.intotheblock.com/">data </a>from IntoTheBlock showed a 5A0% jump in transactions worth more than $100,000. 
Most investors were geared toward profit-taking as positive net flows indicated that more ETH was entering exchanges than leaving them. That said, the inflow rate dropped 91% over the last 24 hours, indicating a potential switch from selling to HODLing. 
According to <a href="https://in.tradingview.com/symbols/ETHUSD/technicals/">TradingView</a>, moving averages and momentum indicators such as Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) pointed to sustained bullish momentum, but the Relative Strength Index (RSI) showed a neutral reading.
Price Action: At the time of writing, ETH was exchanging hands at $2,848.50, up 10.2% in the last 24 hours, 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>.

Bezos praised Trump&#8217;s win as an &#8220;extraordinary political comeback and decisive victory.&#8221; Before Election Day, Bezos and The Washington Post sparked controversy by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/10/41590684/jeff-bezos-says-this-is-mainstream-medias-biggest-problem-after-washington-post-ends-endorsement-for">withholding an endorsement</a> for the first time in decades.

Zuckerberg also took to Threads, and acknowledged Trump&#8217;s &#8220;decisive victory.&#8221; He also expressed optimism about future opportunities.
Earlier in September, Trump said Zuckerberg told him during a call after the July assassination attempt that he will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40785288/did-mark-zuckerberg-really-say-no-way-i-can-vote-for-a-democrat-in-this-election-to-trump">not vote for a Democrat</a> in this election. However, a Meta spokesperson denied this, stating that Zuckerberg has not endorsed either Trump or Kamala Harris.

On the other hand, LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, a prominent supporter of Vice President Harris' campaign, while acknowledging Trump&#8217;s win, urged Americans to unite.
&#8220;I—and many others—raised alarms about the anti-democratic actions Donald Trump took during his first Presidency, and has promised to take this next time,&#8221; he said in a post on X, adding that Trump's supporters assured him that such behavior wouldn't continue.

Why It Matters: Previously, it was reported that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41755274/trump-win-could-hinder-tech-ev-sector-growth-slow-the-pace-of-ai-revolution-analyst">technology investors are concerned</a> that Trump&#8217;s presidency could lead to higher tariffs, straining U.S.-China relations and disrupting the tech supply chain.
Companies like Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Apple, and Tesla may face retaliation from China. Analysts also fear that the President-elect&#8217;s administration could slow the AI revolution.
GOP sweep of the White House and Congress could boost the stock market but negatively impact Big Tech, the analysts have stated.
Trump&#8217;s presidency could also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41781921/what-does-trumps-victory-mean-for-ev-giant-tesla-and-the-big-3-automakers">hurt the broader EV market</a> due to the loss of tax incentives. However, Tesla's size and position could provide an edge, as higher tariffs could limit competition from Chinese companies like BYD and Nio.
During Trump's first term, many tech leaders openly opposed him, resigning from advisory councils and challenging his policies.
However, they faced consequences, including Amazon's claim that it lost a $10 billion Pentagon contract due to Trump's alleged personal vendetta against Bezos, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/06/technology/trump-musk-ai-crypto.html">reported</a> the New York Times.
This time, tech leaders are taking a different approach. Some, like Zuckerberg, who Trump threatened to put in jail, began aligning with the President-elect before the election. Former critics, including Bezos, have refrained from public criticism, the report noted.

Tim Cook, Mark Zuckerberg, And Jeff Bezos Congratulate Trump: What's Next For The Tech Giants?

Renowned economist Peter Schiff advised investors to buy gold dips amid concerns over potential inflation following Donald Trump&#8216;s presidential election victory over Kamala Harris.
What Happened: &#8220;The best Trump trade now is buying the dip in gold and gold mining stocks,&#8221; Schiff posted on X. &#8220;Cutting taxes is easy. We know from experience that substantive spending cuts are impossible. Even Reagan couldn&#8217;t do it, despite making greater promises to do so. Trump will make inflation great again.&#8221;
Trump secured 277 electoral votes and 51% of the popular vote against Harris, according to Associated Press figures. 
Major gold mining stocks, including Barrick Gold (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOLD#NYSE">GOLD</a>), Newmont (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEM#NYSE">NEM</a>), and Royal Gold (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RGLD#NASDAQ">RGLD</a>), declined over 2% on Wednesday, while gold spot prices traded at $2,656, down 0.09%.

Why It Matters: A recent Wall Street Journal survey found <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41312782/trumps-economic-policies-expected-to-drive-inflation-and-deficits-higher-than-harris-economists-say">that 68% of economists expect higher inflation</a> under Trump&#8217;s economic policies compared to Harris&#8217;s proposals, up from 56% in July. The survey, conducted October 4-8, showed only 12% anticipated higher inflation under Harris.
Trump previously announced plans to appoint Tesla Inc CEO Elon Musk as &#8220;Secretary of Cost-Cutting&#8221; to lead a new government efficiency commission. Speaking at New York&#8217;s Madison Square Garden, Musk claimed he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/41704205/elon-musk-says-we-can-cut-2-trillion-out-of-the-harris-biden-budget-and-that-americans-money-is-bein">could reduce federal spending by $2 trillion</a>. The commission would conduct &#8220;a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government,&#8221; according to Trump.
Economist Justin Wolfers raised <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41795320/trumps-20-tariff-plans-could-unleash-wave-of-spending-on-big-ticket-buys-in-holiday-quarter-says-eco">concerns about potential consumer behavior</a>, noting on X: &#8220;I wonder whether we are going to see a burst of spending on consumer durables in Q4, as people pull forward spending on big ticket items ahead of the tariffs.&#8221;
