In the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41134015/jd-vance-tim-walz-debate-sets-a-different-tone-candidates-discuss-israel-iran-escalation-immigration">debate between vice presidential nominees,</a> Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) held late Tuesday, the latter was slightly ahead, flash polls by CNN showed.
What Happened: Fifty-one percent of the registered voters who watched the debate picked Vance as the winner of Tuesday&#8217;s debate, the CNN instant poll by SSRS <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/politics/live-news/vance-walz-debate-cbs-10-01-24/index.html">showed.</a> A more modest 49% opined that Walz won the face-off.
The poll was conducted by text message with 574 registered voters who said they watched the debate, and the results for the full sample of debate watchers have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 5.3 percentage points.
Fifty-nine percent of debate watchers said they had a favorable view of the Democratic vice presidential candidate Walz and only 22% viewed him unfavorably, giving him a net positive favorability rating of 37 points. Ahead of the debate, he had a net positive positive favorability rating of 14 points (46% favorable and 32% unfavorable).
Meanwhile, debate watchers had a net negative favorability rating of three points for Republican nominee Vance (41% favorable and 44% unfavorable). This marked a solid improvement from the net negative 22-point favorability rating for him ahead of the debate (30% favorable, 52% unfavorable).
The pollster noted that debate watchers contacted were three points likelier to be Democratic-aligned than Republican-aligned, which is about five points more Democratic-leaning than all registered voters nationally. The composition is different from the audience of the two presidential debates this year, with both GOP-leaning than the potential American electorate overall. 
When asked whether either of the candidates was qualified to serve as president if needed, 65% said Walz would fit the bill and 58% said Vance had credentials to serve as president. The proportion who felt the same about both were 62% and 50%, respectively, ahead of the debate.

Why It&#8217;s Important: The presidential election is just a little over a month away, and ever since Vice President Kamala Harris replaced President Joe Biden on the Democratic ticket, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41118749/trump-vs-harris-poll-finds-vice-president-has-energized-this-largest-voting-bloc-as-her-economic-pro">she has pushed slightly ahead in the race.</a> Given a second debate between Trump and Harris is unlikely, the outcome of the vice presidential debate was keenly watched.
A post by X handle @EndTribalism summed up the debate as &#8220;America won.&#8221; &#8220;The amount of times the words &#8216;I agree with just about all of that but..&#8217; were said tonight was beautiful,&#8221; the post said. &#8220;The main takeaway is that most Americans agree on what the issues of America are, we just slightly disagree on how to solve them.&#8221;
Following the debate, Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113235598943240962">applauded </a>his running mate on the Truth Social platform. &#8220;JD crushed it! Walz was a Low IQ Disaster &#8211; Very much like Kamala. Our Country would never be able to recover from an Administration of these two,&#8221; the former president said. &#8220;Can you imagine them representing us with sharp, fierce Foreign Leaders? I can't!&#8221;

Vance Vs. Walz: Flash Poll Picks This Candidate As Tuesday's Debate Winner, But He Falls Short In Favorability Rating

General Motors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) sold 32,095 electric vehicles in the third quarter in the U.S., marking a jump of about 46% from the prior quarter, thanks to the introduction of new electric models.
What Happened: GM sold 32,095 EVs in the three months through the end of September, with the Chevrolet Equinox EV accounting for a majority of the deliveries. 
GM started deliveries of the Equinox EV in May 2024. In the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39612749/60-000-cadillac-lyriq-drives-gms-q2-ev-sales-after-bolt-is-discontinued"> second quarter</a>, the company delivered only 1,013 units of the vehicle. However, in the third quarter, delivery numbers rose to 9,772 units.
The SUV&#8217;s entry-level variant starts at about $35,000, lower than Tesla&#8217;s Model Y SUV or Ford&#8217;s Mustang Mach-E.
Other best-selling EVs in the quarter include the Cadillac Lyriq and the Blazer EV. The company also sold 387 units of the Sierra EV electric pickup truck after it commenced deliveries in August.
Bolt EV sales in the quarter, however, dropped by about 99% in the quarter after the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40646381/gm-to-move-brightdrop-electric-vans-under-the-chevrolet-brand">discontinued its production in late 2023.</a>

Why It Matters: GM currently has the longest EV lineup among major U.S. EV players including EV giant Tesla. 
Tesla&#8217;s current lineup has just five vehicles- Model 3, Model Y, Model S, Model X, and the Cybertruck.
Dearborn-based Ford Motor Co, meanwhile, has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40525705/fords-e-transit-van-could-be-its-golden-goose-until-new-evs-start-rolling-out-in-2026">only three EV offerings</a> in the U.S.- the Mustang Mach-E SUV, the F-150 Lightning pickup truck, and the E-transit van.
GM&#8217;s total vehicle deliveries in the quarter, however, dropped 2.2% to 659,601 units, owing to a drop in deliveries of gas-powered vehicles including the Buick Enclave and Chevrolet Silverado HD. 
Price Action: GM shares closed up 0.1% at $44.88 on Tuesday. The stock is up 24.5% year-to-date, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.

GM's EV Sales Rise In Q3 On The Back Of New Models: Chevrolet Equinox EV Tops Charts

"AerCap is delighted to welcome AZAL as a new customer and support them with their ongoing fleet and network expansion," said Peter Anderson, the Chief Commercial Officer of AerCap.

The thesis that Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) would keep investors' wealth secured during geopolitical risks was negated after the leading cryptocurrency plunged along with stocks over fears of a full-fledged war in the Middle East.
What happened: The world's largest cryptocurrency slipped below $62,000, down about 3.52%, as news of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/10/41126038/iran-attacks-israel-with-missiles-middle-east-tensions-escalates-s-p-500-stocks-bitcoin-fall-as-oil">Iran launching a missile barrage toward Israel</a> spooked markets.&nbsp;
The decline mirrored a slump in the stock market, with blue-chip indexes like the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&amp;P 500 closing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41133816/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-crack-on-israel-iran-war-fears-legendary-trader-flags-significan">Tuesday's trading session in the red</a>.
Bitcoin&#8217;s slump called into question its &#8216;store of value&#8217; moniker, which has been frequently championed by proponents seeking to establish equivalency with gold.
On the contrary, spot gold rose more than 1% to $2,666 per ounce following the development, to later retreat below $2,500 as the missile barrage ended.&nbsp;
In fact, Tether Gold (CRYPTO: XauT), a cryptocurrency backed by physical gold, was among the market's biggest gainers in the last 24 hours.

Precious metals analyst Jesse Colombo called Bitcoin a risk asset like any other "high-flying tech stocks," arguing that it invariably falls during geopolitical fears.
However, cryptocurrency analyst Timothy Peterson rebutted, saying that both Bitcoin and gold protect against debasement, though gold has a 6,000-year head start on Bitcoin.

Why It Matters: The latest developments cast a shadow on the cryptocurrency market's next moves.
In a note to Benzinga, Chris Kline, COO and Co-Founder of BitcoinIRA, stated that war fears would create headwinds for high-risk investments.&nbsp;
"This potent combination of regional conflicts, evolving monetary landscapes, and looming political shifts sets the stage for a period of significant market unpredictability in the weeks ahead," Kline anticipated.

Bitcoin's Safe Haven Narrative Comes Under Pressure Amid Iran-Israel War Fears, Investors Prefer Gold During Crisis

In a recent interview, Michael Novogratz, CEO of Galaxy, predicted a significant boost for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) with the advent of options trading on ETFs. This forecast comes amidst ongoing discussions about the Federal Reserve&#8217;s interest rate decisions and their potential impact on Bitcoin prices.
What Happened: Novogratz, speaking to <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2024/10/01/galaxy-ceo-mike-novogratz-the-next-big-jolt-to-bitcoin-will-be-options-that-trade-on-etfs.html">CNBC </a>on Tuesday, emphasized that the next catalyst for Bitcoin will be the introduction of options trading on ETFs. He noted that while the market had expected a quicker rollout, the process has been slower than anticipated. However, he remains optimistic that the introduction of these options will be transformative for Bitcoin.
&#8220;The next big jolt to bitcoin is going to be when we have options that trade on the ETFs. The SEC said they are coming. I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s in three weeks or a month,&#8221; Novogratz said.
Novogratz highlighted that platforms are gradually beginning to offer these options, and this trend is expected to continue. He drew a parallel to MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>), which offers leverage on Bitcoin for retail investors and trades at more than twice the value of its Bitcoin holdings, largely due to options trading.

He pointed out the evident demand for leveraged crypto investments, especially among younger investors using platforms like Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>). 
Why It Matters: Bitcoin has recently experienced notable price movements. On Sep. 27, Bitcoin surged past $66,000, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/41070034/bitcoin-smashes-through-66-000-as-etfs-take-in-365m-to-extend-their-inflow-streak-to-6-str">marking a 14% gain</a> over two weeks. This rise was driven by positive fund flows into Bitcoin spot ETFs for six consecutive days, with significant contributions from Ark 21Shares&#8217; ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKB#BATS">ARKB</a>) and BlackRock&#8217;s ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>). 
However, geopolitical tensions have also impacted the crypto market. On Tuesday, Bitcoin plummeted to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41133816/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-crack-on-israel-iran-war-fears-legendary-trader-flags-significan">two-week low</a> of $60,370 following Iran&#8217;s missile attack on Israel, before recovering slightly. This incident underscores the volatility and sensitivity of the cryptocurrency market to global events. 
Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>, at the time of writing, Bitcoin had slightly recovered by 1.41% and was trading at $61,503.80. Meanwhile, in the after-hours market, Microstrategy was down by 1.41% while Robinhood was trading 0.76% lower. Among the Bitcoin ETFs, ARKB was down by 1.26% while IBIT was 1.45% lower around the same time.

Bitcoin's 'Next Big Jolt' To Be From ETF Options, Says Galaxy CEO Michael Novogratz: '...Don't Know If It's In Three Weeks Or A Month'

EV giant Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has seemingly dropped its cheapest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tesla-model-3">Model 3</a> variant from its U.S. website, namely the rear-wheel drive (RWD) variant that started at $38,990.
What Happened: With the RWD Model 3 getting discontinued, the cheapest Model 3 variant in the U.S. is now the long-range RWD variant which starts at $42,490 and offers a range of 363 miles. This variant was introduced by the company merely a few months <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39743027/tesla-unveils-new-model-3-variant-with-longer-range-eligible-for-7-500-tax-credit">back in July</a>.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="919" height="838" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/02031532/image-2.png" alt="" class="wp-image-575945" style="width:540px;height:auto" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/02031532/image-2.png 919w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/02031532/image-2-300x274.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/02031532/image-2-768x700.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 919px) 100vw, 919px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Screenshot Of Tesla&#8217;s U.S. Website</figcaption></figure>
The Model 3 sedan is the cheapest vehicle from Tesla. The company&#8217;s best-selling vehicle- the Model Y SUV- starts at $44,990 in the U.S.
Tesla&#8217;s reasons for dropping the rear wheel drive variant are not known. The company did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment.
Why It Matters: The discontinued RWD variant was not eligible for a federal EV tax credit of $7,500, unlike the other three variants of the sedan. With the discontinuation of the RWD variant, all available Model 3 variants are now eligible for a federal EV tax credit.
In May, Tesla similarly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38628520/tesla-launches-model-y-rwd-variant-that-can-go-upto-320-miles-on-a-single-charge-elon-musk-promises">dropped the rear-wheel drive version</a> of the Model Y to replace it with a long-range rear-wheel drive version.

Tesla Discontinues Cheapest Model 3 Variant: Entry Level Trim Now Starts At $42,490

On Tuesday, following&nbsp;the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41134015/jd-vance-tim-walz-debate-sets-a-different-tone-candidates-discuss-israel-iran-escalation-immigration">only vice-presidential debate</a> of&nbsp;the 2024 elections, Tesla and SpaceX CEO&nbsp;Elon Musk spoke about his viewpoint while praising Republican Sen.&nbsp;JD Vance&nbsp;(R-Ohio.) and Governor&nbsp;Tim Walz&nbsp;(D-Minn).
What Happened: After the debate, a user on X, formerly Twitter, expressed their preference for either of the vice-presidential candidates over the presidential ones, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.
&#8220;All I'm gleaning from this&nbsp;debate is that I'd prefer&nbsp;either one of these vice presidents over Trump or Kamala,&#8221; the user posted.
In response, Musk, who has publicly endorsed Trump, said, &#8220;They were rather civil,&#8221; referring to the two vice presidential candidates.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Why It Matters: The vice-presidential debate&nbsp;was held in New York&nbsp;City, following the previous month&#8217;s&nbsp;presidential debate where Democratic nominee&nbsp;Harris emerged victorious over Trump.
The debate between Walz and Vance was indeed civil, unlike earlier presidential debates. They targeted each other&#8217;s running mates, not one another.
The sharpest moment came when<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41134206/jd-vance-and-tim-walz-lock-horns-over-trumps-2020-election-defeat-jan-6-was-not-facebook-ads"> Vance dodged a question</a> about Trump's 2020 election loss, prompting Walz to call it a "damning non-answer" and condemn the denial of the Jan. 6 riots.
The debate opened with both candidates addressing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41133292/netanyahu-promises-retaliation-for-missile-attack-on-israel-iran-responds-by-promising-vast-destruct">Israel's potential strike on Iran</a>. Walz backed Israel's self-defense and criticized Trump's foreign policy, while Vance praised Trump's global stability efforts and support for Israel.
The Republican candidate also defended Trump's immigration stance, calling for mass deportations and rebuilding the wall.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40696394/inflation-jobs-and-taxes-how-trump-and-harris-economic-policies-differ">On the economy</a>, Walz pointed to Democratic cost-cutting measures like capping insulin prices, though he overstated the pre-legislation cost.
Meanwhile, Vance blamed Harris for rising prices in essentials, arguing she's had years to act. &#8220;If Kamala Harris has such great plans for how to address middle-class problems, then she ought to do them now,&#8221; he stated.

Nike, Conagra Brands And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Wednesday

China&#8217;s commerce ministry on Wednesday said that it has asked the World Trade Organisation (WTO) to rule on Canada&#8217;s imposition of heightened tariffs on electric vehicles and steel from China.
What Happened: &#8220;China has raised a lawsuit to the WTO over Canada&#8217;s unilateral and trade protectionist measures, and will conduct anti-discriminatory probe into these restrictive measures,&#8221; the Ministry of Commerce spokesperson said while also reiterating their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/09/40685341/china-hits-back-following-canadas-100-ev-tariffs-with-anti-dumping-investigation-into-canola-imports">firm opposition</a> to the levies introduced. 
&#8220;Canada&#8217;s actions violate the principles of market economy and fair competition, seriously damage the normal economic and trade cooperation between Chinese and Canadian companies, severely impact China-Canada economic and trade relations, and disrupt and distort the global industrial chain and supply chain,&#8221; the spokesperson added. 
The additional 100% tariffs announced by Canada on EVs imported from China took effect on Oct. 1. The tariffs also apply to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40586710/tesla-shares-are-trading-lower-today-what-you-need-to-know">Tesla Model 3 and Model Y vehicles</a> made in China and imported to Canada.
The country has also announced additional 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum products imported from China.
Why It Matters: The EU and the U.S. have also likewise proposed heightened tariffs on EV imports from China.
EU is proposing tariffs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40925180/teslas-chinese-competitor-nio-begins-deliveries-of-new-es8-in-europe-amid-eu-tariff-concerns-rep">up to 35.3% on EVs made in China</a> in addition to the standard 10% car import duty. China&#8217;s commerce minister warned that these tariffs would disrupt trade and investment, stressing the need to find an amicable solution to avoid escalation of tensions between China and the EU.
The Biden administration has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40868156/former-democratic-senator-al-franken-says-biden-is-wrong-to-impose-higher-tariffs-on-evs-made-in-chi">slapped a 100% tariff </a>on Chinese-made EVs.

The latest development in the ongoing scrutiny of China&#8217;s economic policies has seen a senior U.S. Treasury official criticize the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for its lenient stance.
What Happened: The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has been criticized for being &#8220;too polite&#8221; regarding China&#8217;s economic policies, Reuters reported.
Brent Neiman, the Treasury&#8217;s deputy undersecretary for international finance, stated that the IMF has not applied sufficient analytical rigor to China&#8217;s industrial policies. Speaking at an event hosted by the OMFIF financial think tank, Neiman emphasized that the IMF should be a &#8220;ruthless truth teller&#8221; and more transparent about financing assurances from China and other countries.
Neiman pointed out that the IMF&#8217;s economic assessments of China do not adequately address exchange rate and industrial policies. He noted that the IMF does not publicly comment on the role of state-owned banks in managing China&#8217;s exchange rate or discrepancies in the People's Bank of China&#8217;s balance sheet and reserve transactions.

Neiman also criticized the IMF&#8217;s lack of transparency in disclosing external financing assurances, citing recent programs for Argentina, Ecuador, and Suriname. He mentioned that such assurances were either not delivered or significantly delayed. The IMF recently approved a $7 billion program for Pakistan, which included financing assurances from China, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, but did not provide details.
The IMF and World Bank will review various policies during their annual meetings in Washington, scheduled for the week of Oct. 21.
Why It Matters: The U.S. has been increasingly vocal about China&#8217;s opaque lending practices, particularly its emergency loans to debt-laden countries. The U.S. raised concerns about China&#8217;s secretive emergency loans, urging for greater transparency. Neiman highlighted that these loans, often <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41117633/us-raises-alarm-over-chinas-secretive-emergency-loans-calls-for-greater-transparency">provided through swap agreements</a>, bind countries closer to China economically while imposing high interest rates. This issue was previously discussed by the Biden administration with Chinese officials in Washington.
China&#8217;s central bank facilitates these loans, allowing countries to borrow Chinese renminbi and use their U.S. dollar reserves to repay foreign debts. This arrangement has raised alarms due to the lack of transparency and the potential for deepening economic dependencies on China.

US Treasury Official Slams IMF For Being 'Too Polite' And Not A 'Ruthless Truth Teller' On China's Economic Policies

Tesla, Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) third-quarter deliveries report, likely out before the market opens on Tuesday, has generated a lot of buzz as analysts see the electric vehicle maker turning things around.
The Expectations: Tesla will likely report a third-quarter delivery beat after reporting a year-over-year sales decline in the past two quarters, said Future Fund LLC Managing Partner Gary Black. Deliveries fell 9% in the first quarter and 5% in the second quarter.
Black also shared a screenshot of the company-compiled consensus sent by Tesla Investor Relations Head Travis Axelrod, which put the magic number at 461,978 units. If the company hits the consensus, it will report year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter growth of 6.19% and 4.06%, respectively.

Black said @Troyteslike&#8217;s third-quarter estimates mark the biggest positive change versus the consensus, since 2021.
Why It&#8217;s Important: A big deliveries beat could change the narrative on Tesla stock and lead to a change in the two-year trajectory of negative earnings revisions, said Black. Tesla stock went through an extended lean patch after it hit an all-time high in late 2021.

Reliable Tesla Number Cruncher Forecasts Biggest Delivery Beat In 3 Years: Fund Manager Says This Could Change The Stock's Narrative

Following a warning from Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s (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>) Google, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) has removed Juno, an unofficial YouTube app designed for Vision Pro, from its App Store.
What Happened: On Tuesday, Christian Selig, the developer of Juno, took to X, formerly Twitter, and announced the app&#8217;s removal on Tuesday. &#8220;Sad news, but Juno for YouTube has been removed from the App Store,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;I don't personally agree with this, as Juno is just a web view, and acts as little more than a browser extension that modifies CSS to make the website and video player look more &#8216;visionOS&#8217; like,&#8221; he said in a blog post on Tuesday.

However, existing Juno users can continue using the app unless they delete it or YouTube releases an update that disrupts its functionality.

Why It Matters: In February earlier this year, YouTube confirmed the development of a Vision Pro app, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/36949520/youtube-confirms-vision-pro-app-in-development-still-no-signs-of-netflix-and-spotify-though">following initial refusals</a> from Google&#8217;s video-sharing platform, Spotify, and Netflix.
In July, market tracker Omdia's analyst, George Jijiashvili, noted that Vision Pro has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39747111/apples-vision-pro-struggles-to-find-its-killer-app-to-justify-3-500-price-tag-just-not-quite-hit-the">struggling to find its &#8220;killer app&#8221;</a> to justify its $3,500 price tag.
The Vision Pro had over 2,000 apps available five months after its U.S. debut, a stark contrast to the 20,000 iPad apps and 10,000 iPhone apps available within a similar timeframe after their respective launches.
Cupertino has also been reportedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39449011/apple-struggling-to-create-its-cheaper-vision-pro-model-says-expert-its-dealing-with-some-difficult">struggling to develop a cheaper version</a> of the Vision Pro due to its high price tag and lack of mainstream appeal.

Apple Removes Unofficial YouTube App For Vision Pro From App Store, Developer Disagrees But Says, 'Zero Desire To Spin This Into A Massive Fight'

In a notable development, the SEC has won a case against blockchain firm Rivetz over the sale of unregistered securities.
What Happened: U.S. District Judge Mark Mastroianni granted the SEC&#8217;s motion for summary judgment, a decision made without a trial, CoinDesk <a href="https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2024/10/01/us-judge-sides-with-sec-in-case-against-crypto-wallet-rivetz-over-sale-of-unregistered-securities/?utm_medium=social&amp;utm_term=organic&amp;utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_content=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=coindesk_main">reported</a> Tuesday. The SEC is set to confer with Steven Sprague, CEO of Rivetz, and file a proposed judgment for injunctive and monetary relief by Oct. 22.
The SEC action against Rivetz was initiated in 2021, alleging the firm of offering unregistered securities and violating the Securities Act during a $18 million initial coin offering (ICO) in 2017 for the Rivetz token.

Why It Matters: The&nbsp;Gary Gensler-led agency has been increasingly vigilant against cryptocurrency firms, with many high-profile names including Binance, Ripple Labs, and Coinbase, facing lawsuits in recent years. 
Ripple Labs was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40240559/xrp-outshines-bitcoin-ethereum-to-become-biggest-daily-gainer-after-judge-imposes-125m-pen">fined $125 million in August</a> for violating federal securities laws. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40809382/terraform-labs-historic-4-5b-settlement-with-sec-makes-2024-the-most-penalized-year-for-cr">agency slapped cryptocurrency entities with record fines of $4.68 billion</a> in 2024, marking a whopping 3000% jump from last year.
Influential cryptocurrency advocates have slammed the SEC&#8217;s approach toward regulation, with billionaire investor Mark Cuban <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/41016977/mark-cuban-calls-gary-gensler-a-blight-after-sec-chair-gets-grilled-on-crypto-by-congress-">taking personal potshots</a> at Gensler.
Gensler&#8217;s leadership has also become an election issue among the cryptocurrency demographic. Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/40018935/trumps-bitcoin-conference-pledge-can-he-really-fire-sec-chair-gensler">promised to fire the SEC Chair</a> if voted back to power.

Technical Analyst Clive Maund takes a look at Aztec Minerals Corp. to explain why he believes it is a Strong Buy.

Aztec Minerals Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZZTF#OTC">AZZTF</a>) is primarily an established gold-silver exploration company that is positioned to make a potentially big discovery or discoveries in mining-friendly areas in Arizona and NW Mexico with a view to greatly increasing its value which will likely result in it being bought out at a premium by a major mining company.

The reason that it is of interest to us as investors and speculators is that its shares are currently trading at relatively low prices at a time when the entire mining sector is at the point of embarking on a major bull market for a variety of reasons likely to be of unprecedented proportions.

Before examining the latest stock charts for Aztec, we will overview the fundamentals of the company using a range of slides lifted from its latest investor deck, but note that we will not be looking at those detailing the geology of the company&#39;s properties for reasons of space and because we don&#39;t need to go into this kind of detail. Those of you who have knowledge of geology and are interested can, of course, find this information in the deck linked above.

So, we&#39;ll start with an overview of the company.

<img alt="" class="No_img_class" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/2024430120648_1.jpg" style="height:740px; width:1000px" />

This slide from the deck makes the case for buying the stock on one page, provided that this is confirmed by what we are seeing on the stock charts, and it is.

<img alt="" class="No_img_class" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/2024430120711_2.jpg" style="height:752px; width:1000px" />

The next slide shows the locations of the company&#39;s two big properties, one just north of the border near Tombstone, Arizona, and the other not too far away in NW Mexico.

The Tombstone property is primarily gold and silver, and the Cervantes property is mainly gold.

<img alt="" class="No_img_class" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/2024430120730_3.jpg" style="height:751px; width:1000px" />

Now, we&#39;ll briefly overview these two big properties, starting with Tombstone.

The map on the following slide shows Tombstone&#39;s location relative to other deposits in the area, some of which are BIG, like the Taylor deposit found by Arizona Mining, which was subsequently gobbled up by South32, resulting in massive windfall gains for investors in the company, and Tombstone has similar potential.

<img alt="" class="No_img_class" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/2024430120758_4.jpg" style="height:749px; width:1000px" />

The following slide lists the attributes of the Tombstone property, in which the company has a 75% joint venture interest, and it shows a photo of the oval-shaped Contention Pit.

<img alt="" class="No_img_class" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/2024430120819_5.jpg" style="height:747px; width:1000px" />

The location and environs of the other big property, the Cervantes property in NW Mexico, is shown on this slide, and it is interesting to see that there are other big and mid-cap companies operating nearby, such as Agnico-Eagle, Alamos Gold, Minera Alamos, and Osisko, and they wouldn&#39;t be in the area without good reason.

<img alt="" class="No_img_class" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/2024430120839_6.jpg" style="height:749px; width:1000px" />

The following slide lists the attributes of the Cervantes property.

<img alt="" class="No_img_class" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/2024430120900_7.jpg" style="height:743px; width:1000px" />

The company makes no secret of the fact that it will become a takeover target if it makes a sizeable discovery as looks likely and gives the example of what happened to the stock price of Arizona Mining after it discovered the massive Taylor deposit and was then bought out by South32.

<img alt="" class="No_img_class" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/2024430120922_8.jpg" style="height:752px; width:1000px" />

The last slide shows the capital structure, and it is of note that of the 109 million shares in issue, insiders own 14%, with 35% being closely held, and Alamos Gold is a strategic investor.

<img alt="" class="No_img_class" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/2024430120942_9.jpg" style="height:750px; width:1000px" />

Now, we will examine the latest stock charts for Aztec Minerals to see what they have to say about its prospects.

We will start by looking at the long-term 9-year chart in order to gain a &quot;big picture&quot; perspective of the history of the stock and what it implies for the future. On this chart, we can see that the stock has been in a persistent bear market since mid-2020 for almost four years now; however, for various reasons, this bear market is thought to have run its course, with the final low being put in in February.

One big reason is that all of the action from the mid-2020 spike high is thought to constitute the Handle of the giant Cup and Handle base depicted on the chart. This is a very important observation because, if true, it implies that the stock will, in due course, blast right out of the top of this pattern, and that is a perfectly reasonable expectation given that gold, silver, and copper are beginning what should prove to be their greatest bull markets of all time &mdash; and here we should note that the price of the stock will triple from the current position even before it breaks out of the top of the Cup and Handle base.

Before leaving this chart, it is worth observing the upside volume buildup in recent months that has caused the Accumulation line to take a turn for the better &mdash; this is a sign that the giant base pattern is complete and that a new bull market is about to start, which makes sense given that the great metals bull market has now begun.

<img alt="" class="No_img_class" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/2024430121007_10.jpg" style="height:857px; width:668px" />

Zooming in now using a 2-year chart, we see that a severe decline followed the spike high almost a year ago last April, and this has been followed by a base pattern building out from last October that is best classified as a Double Bottom.

We can see that there has been good upside volume as this base pattern has formed, which has driven the Accumulation line higher. This is bullish. The sharp rally around the start of this month is a sign that this base pattern is complete, and we will now look at recent action in more detail on a 7-month chart, this time period being selected to enable us to see the first low of base pattern which occurred last October.

<img alt="" class="No_img_class" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/2024430121035_11.jpg" style="height:857px; width:670px" />

On the 7-month chart, we can see the base pattern almost entirely, and the attempt to break out from it was made early in April. Although the price has reacted back into the base pattern following the breakout attempt, this action is not viewed as bearish at all &mdash; on the contrary, the attempt at a breakout has served to clear some of the overhanging supply and swung the moving averages into better alignment, paving the way for a more sustained upleg soon.

In addition, we can see that a bullish cross of the moving averages is occurring now, and with the reaction of the past couple of weeks having completely neutralized the earlier overbought condition, all the pieces are in place for the stock to advance anew in a second upleg whose gains will be less likely to be surrendered.

<img alt="" class="No_img_class" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/2024430121100_12.jpg" style="height:857px; width:669px" />

Aztec Minerals is therefore rated a Strong Buy for all timeframes.

Aztec Minerals Corp. closed for trading at CA$0.20, US$0.147 on May 2, 2024
