Eurozone Industrial Production (MoM) For November 0.2% Vs. 0.3% Est.; 0.2% (Revised) Prior

An internal memo from Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) has unveiled a strategy to implement <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/42994485/mark-zuckerbergs-jiu-jitsu-training-has-transformed-metas-leadership-strategy-says-gene-munster">performance-based job cuts</a>.
What Happened: The memo, authored by Hillary Champion, Meta&#8217;s director of people development growth programs, instructs managers to classify employees into performance tiers based on their contributions over the past year, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/meta-tells-managers-how-performance-based-job-cuts-will-work-2025-1">reported</a> Business Insider.
Champion&#8217;s memo indicates that Meta aims to achieve a 10% &#8220;non-regrettable attrition&#8221; rate by the end of the current performance cycle. This target combines last year&#8217;s 5% with an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/42986509/meta-platforms-announces-performance-based-job-cuts-whats-going-on">additional 5% this year</a>.

The company is increasing pressure on underperformers to swiftly determine who will remain and who will be let go.
Meta plans to cut about 5% of its lowest-performing staffers as part of an effort to &#8220;raise the bar.&#8221; The company intends to backfill these roles in 2025.
The internal performance guidance document, obtained by the publication, categorizes employees into ratings such as &#8220;met most expectations,&#8221; &#8220;met some,&#8221; and &#8220;did not meet.&#8221;
Employees rated as &#8220;Met Some&#8221; or &#8220;Did Not Meet&#8221; will be automatically added to the performance termination list.

&#8220;We have really ambitious goals, so we need to manage our workforce in a way that ensures we have the strongest talent working here and can move faster in managing out low performers so that we can bring new people in,&#8221; Champion stated.
Why It Matters: The decision to implement performance-based job cuts at Meta aligns with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42865109/sony-co-founder-akio-morita-once-said-that-management-should-treat-companies-like-families-not-commodities-recession-comes-management-fire-people-but-stays-to-keep-its-profit">broader trend in the tech industry</a>.
In December 2024, 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 revealed plans to reduce top management <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42635813/google-announces-major-layoffs-as-pichai-stresses-efficiency">roles by 10% as part</a> of its efforts to streamline operations.
Likewise, Elon Musk&#8217;s X reportedly experienced major layoffs in November 2024, with the engineering department being notably impacted.
Meta is scheduled to release its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/01/42991174/meta-platforms-analyst-expects-strong-momentum-in-q4-to-continue-in-2025">fourth-quarter earnings</a> on Jan. 29. Last year in October, the company reported $40.59 billion in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41637326/meta-platforms-q3-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-daily-actives-up-5-strong-momentum-in-ai">third-quarter revenue</a>, exceeding analysts&#8217; projections of $40.29 billion.
Price Action: Meta&#8217;s shares fell by 2.31% on Tuesday but recovered slightly in pre-market trading on Wednesday, gaining 0.46% to close at $597, as per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Nokia Signs Multi-Year Video Technologies Licensing Deal With Samsung

Howard Marks, the co-founder, and co-chairman of Oaktree Capital Management, who predicted the dot-com bubble 25 years ago has alerted investors about cautionary signs in the market in his latest <a href="https://www.oaktreecapital.com/insights/memo/on-bubble-watch">paper</a> called, &#8220;On Bubble Watch&#8221;.
What Happened: According to Marks, these cautionary signs include the over-optimism in the market, ongoing AI hype, reliance on &#8216;Magnificent Seven&#8217; stocks, and index investing bias.
Even though Marks doesn&#8217;t &#8220;speak authoritatively about whether we're in a bubble,&#8221; in his paper, he does say that investors shouldn't be indifferent to these signs.
<ul>
<li>Over-optimism: Market exuberance since late 2022, coupled with high S&amp;P 500 valuations exceeding global peers.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>AI Hype: Enthusiasm for AI may be spilling over to other tech sectors.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Tech Giant Reliance: Over-reliance on the continued success of the top seven companies.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Index Investing Bias: Potential for inflated valuations driven by index fund purchases, disregarding intrinsic value.</li>
</ul>
Marks mentions in his paper that a stock market bubble manifests as a temporary mania fueled by irrational exuberance, blind adoration of companies, and an overwhelming fear of missing out.
The conviction that stocks are impervious to overvaluation, leads to the belief that &#8220;there&#8217;s no price too high.&#8221;

Why It Matters: About 25 years ago on Jan. 7, 2000, Marks published a memo called <a href="https://www.oaktreecapital.com/docs/default-source/memos/2000-01-02-bubble.pdf?sfvrsn=37bc0f65_2">bubble.com</a>, and the subject was the irrational behavior he thought was taking place with respect to tech, internet, and e-commerce stocks. This was how he predicted the dot-com bubble. 
&#8220;But for me, a bubble or crash is more a state of mind than a quantitative calculation,&#8221; he added.
Marks warranted that investors should not avoid today's market valuations.
Drawing examples from the 2000 bubble, he highlighted the twenty companies that were the most heavily represented in the index. At the beginning of 2024, however, only six of them were still in the top twenty. Importantly, of today's &#8216;Magnificent Seven,&#8217; only Microsoft Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) was in the top twenty 25 years ago.
&#8220;In bubbles, investors treat the leading companies – and pay for their stocks – as though the firms are sure to remain leaders for decades,&#8221; he said.
He acknowledged counterarguments suggesting the market might not be in a bubble. These included the observation that while the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s P/E ratio is elevated but not at an absurd level. Furthermore, he acknowledged that the &#8220;Magnificent Seven&#8221; are indeed exceptional companies, potentially justifying their high valuations.
Finally, he concluded that while the market appears expensive and perhaps slightly overheated, it doesn&#8217;t exhibit the irrational exuberance characteristic of a true bubble.

First Horizon Gears Up For Q4 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

SpaceX&#8217;s next test flight of its Starship launch vehicle will depend on weather, the company warned on Tuesday.
What Happened: The company is currently preparing to launch Starship on Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. CT. However, whether the company will go ahead with the launch date or postpone it further will depend on the weather, company CEO Elon Musk said. 
&#8220;Starship Flight 7 launches tomorrow, provided weather is good,&#8221; Musk said on Tuesday. 
SpaceX also said in a post on social media platform X that the team at Starbase, Texas, is keeping a close eye on weather conditions.

Starship&#8217;s seventh flight test has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/01/42937833/elon-musks-spacex-delays-starship-7th-test-flight-to-wednesday">postponed multiple times</a> already. In December, Musk had pegged it for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42891052/spacexs-starship-7th-flight-test-now-slated-for-monday">Jan. 10</a>. 
Why It Matters: SpaceX has said that its Starship vehicle, currently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42718758/elon-musk-says-starship-will-get-fully-reusable-heat-shield-in-2025-i-am-confident">undergoing testing and development</a>, will launch from Starbase for its seventh test flight carrying 10 Starlink simulators which are similar in size and weight to the company&#8217;s next-generation Starlink satellites in a bid to demonstrate its capabilities in the satellite launch segment.
For the upcoming flight, SpaceX is looking to catch the two-stage vehicle's booster back at the launch pad at Starbase with the launch tower's metallic arms like on its fifth test flight in October. However, in case of any safety concerns, the company will splash it down in the Gulf of Mexico, it said.
The spacecraft, meanwhile, is slated to be splashed down in the Indian Ocean on the upcoming test.
While SpaceX has conducted 6 test flights of its ambitious launch vehicle to date, none of them carried any payload. The last test flight of Starship was in November.

Biden And Harris: Will They Attend?
President Joe Biden has confirmed his attendance, marking a bipartisan moment despite their contentious history. Vice President Kamala Harris is also expected to attend, continuing the tradition of outgoing vice presidents witnessing the transfer of power.
Former Presidents On The Guest List
Former Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton will also attend the ceremony. Their spouses, including Laura Bush and Hillary Clinton, will also be present.
Notably, Michelle Obama will not attend, citing undisclosed reasons.
While Biden's presence signals a return to tradition, history shows many outgoing presidents have skipped their successors' inaugurations. These include John Adams, John Quincy Adams, and Andrew Johnson. Trump himself did not attend Biden's inauguration, citing election disputes.
Billionaires At The Inauguration: Musk, Bezos, And Zuckerberg
Some of the world's richest individuals are set to attend. Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, and Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg will be seated together on the platform, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/elon-musk-jeff-bezos-mark-zuckerberg-attend-trump-inauguration-rcna187642">reported</a> NBC.
Musk took to X and said that he was "honored" by the invitation.

Musk is a Trump ally and has been instrumental in shaping his administration's efficiency policies.

World Leaders And Foreign Representatives
Argentine President Javier Milei, who met Trump shortly after his election win, is expected to attend. Trump has also invited Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
According to reports, Bukele's attendance remains uncertain, but Meloni has stated she will attend if her schedule allows.
Chinese President Xi Jinping will also reportedly send an envoy in his place. Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who faces legal challenges, could also attend.

Earnings Scheduled For January 15, 2025

Investors are buzzing with speculation about the Federal Reserve possibly raising interest rates in 2025. This comes despite recent aggressive rate cuts. The conversation is heating up around a potential policy reversal.
What Happened: While the likelihood of a rate hike remains at zero according to CME Group's FedWatch, the topic is gaining traction among investors. The debate centers on whether the barriers to increasing rates are more substantial than those to reducing them, The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/investing/what-if-the-fed-u-turns-and-raises-rates-this-year-f180855b">reported</a> on Wednesday.
Historically, the Fed has signaled major policy shifts well in advance, with only one instance of switching from cuts to hikes within a year since 1994. This occurred in 1998, following the Long-Term Capital Management crisis.
Some analysts believe the Fed has learned from past inflation shocks and may act swiftly if necessary. Ed Al-Hussainy of Columbia Threadneedle Investments noted, "It's a paper barrier, and they will break through it quickly if the data becomes overwhelming."
Investors considering the possibility of rate hikes might look into short-dated Treasurys. However, the market&#8217;s volatility and potential for loss remain significant concerns.
Why It Matters: The speculation surrounding potential rate hikes comes on the heels of a strong jobs report from December, which has led Wall Street analysts to reconsider their interest rate forecasts. Goldman Sachs economist David Mericle <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/42944934/wall-street-slashes-interest-rate-cut-bets-after-jobs-data-are-hikes-back-on-the-table">adjusted his projections</a> for Fed policy in 2025, reducing expected rate cuts due to the robust employment figures.
Moreover, the Federal Reserve&#8217;s December meeting minutes revealed uncertainty about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42886101/investors-should-expect-no-rate-cuts-in-q1-2025-after-federal-reserves-december-minutes-release-strategist-says">future rate cuts</a>, as noted by Jeffrey Roach, chief economist for LPL Financial. The Fed&#8217;s use of the word &#8220;uncertain&#8221; multiple times underscores the difficulty in mapping out a clear path for interest rates amid unpredictable economic conditions.

Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda indicated Wednesday that the central bank is prepared to raise interest rates if economic and price conditions continue to improve, as Japan&#8217;s 10-year government bond yields touched their highest level since 2011 amid mounting speculation of policy tightening.
What Happened: The yield on Japan&#8217;s benchmark 10-year government bonds surged to around 1.25% on Wednesday, reaching levels not seen since April 2011, as investors positioned themselves ahead of next week&#8217;s crucial BOJ policy meeting.
&#8220;We are currently analyzing data thoroughly and will compile the findings in our quarterly outlook report,&#8221; Ueda said at a gathering of regional banks, according to Reuters, noting that the BOJ will discuss potential rate hikes at next week&#8217;s meeting. 
His comments followed similar remarks from BOJ Deputy Governor Ryozo Himino, strengthening market expectations of an imminent policy shift.
The potential policy change comes amid rising inflation concerns. Peter Schiff, a prominent economist, highlighted on social media platform X that Japan&#8217;s inflation rate has reached 3.4%, significantly exceeding the BOJ&#8217;s 2% target.

It&#39;s now 3.4% and headed much higher. The Japanese were far better off and the government had a lot less debt when inflation was below 2%. The BOJ should have left well enough alone.

Why It Matters: These policy discussions unfold in the shadow of August&#8217;s market turbulence, when the BOJ&#8217;s rate adjustment sparked widespread volatility. The Nikkei 225 suffered its sharpest single-day drop since 1987, and the unwinding of yen-based carry <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40199218/yen-carry-trade-is-only-halfway-unraveled-wall-street-analyst-says-how-much-more-ro">trades reverberated across global financial markets</a>.
For U.S. investors, the BOJ&#8217;s potential policy shift holds significant implications, given Japan&#8217;s historical influence on global bond yields and currency markets. On Wednesday, the U.S. dollar traded at 157.38 Japanese yen, underscoring the prevailing market uncertainty surrounding the BOJ&#8217;s next moves.
Ueda identified two key factors influencing the timing of any rate hike: the new U.S. administration&#8217;s economic policies and the momentum of this year&#8217;s wage negotiations in Japan, which he noted have shown positive indicators based on recent regional branch manager meetings.

BOJ's Kazuo Ueda Signals Rate Hikes, Japanese Bond Yields Rise To 14-Year High—What The Recent Past Tells Us About Impact On US Markets

Over 1.3 million electric vehicles were sold in the U.S. in 2024, marking a growth of 7.3% year-on-year, and accounting for 8.1% of total auto sales, according to data from automotive research company Kelley Blue Book. 
What Happened: EV sales in the U.S. benefited from strong incentives from automakers, excellent lease deals, and federal and state incentive programs in 2024, the firm said, while adding that companies like General Motors also added &#8220;excellent&#8221; new products.
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) was the most-sold EV brand nameplate, followed by Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>). The best-selling EV models, however, came from across different brand names.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="831" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/15012502/0DWlR-top-selling-evs-in-2024-1024x831.png" alt="" class="wp-image-733814" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/15012502/0DWlR-top-selling-evs-in-2024-1024x831.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/15012502/0DWlR-top-selling-evs-in-2024-300x243.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/15012502/0DWlR-top-selling-evs-in-2024-768x623.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/15012502/0DWlR-top-selling-evs-in-2024.png 1240w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
The top-selling EV model was, unsurprisingly, Tesla&#8217;s Model Y SUV. The company sold 372,613 units of the Model Y in the 12 months, grabbing a remarkable 28.6% market share.
Model Y was seconded by Tesla&#8217;s mass-market sedan &#8211; the Model 3. Tesla launched the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/36921718/youtuber-marques-brownlee-reviews-refreshed-model-3-calls-it-teslas-most-important-car-i-am-impresse">refreshed Model 3 in the U.S. </a>in Jan. 2024 and 189,903 units of the vehicle were sold, giving it a 14.6% share of the market.
Dearborn-based Ford sold 51,745 units of its Model Y rival Mustang Mach-E and 33,510 units of its Cybertruck rival F-150 Lightning, giving them the 3rd and 6th position in the best-selling EV list, respectively. 
The fourth best-selling EV in the U.S. after the Teslas and the Ford SUV, comes from South Korean automaker Hyundai. Hyundai sold 44,400 units of its Ioniq 5 SUV, placing it below the Mach-E but above Tesla&#8217;s stainless steel truck Cybertruck. Tesla <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42967593/cybertruck-sales-rise-in-2024-weighed-down-on-tesla-model-s-deliveries-in-us-shows-data">sold 38,965 units of the</a> Cybertruck last year. 
Japanese automaker Honda also found a place in the best-selling EV list with its Prologue. The company sold 33,017 units of the Prologue, cementing its 7th position on the list. 
General Motors&#8217; Chevrolet Equinox EV and the Cadillac Lyriq also made it onto the list with over 28,000 units sold of each. GM started delivering the Equinox EV only in May. 
California-based Rivian&#8217;s R1S SUV took the tenth spot with nearly 27,000 units sold despite its high price point of about $75,000.

What&#8217;s Ahead: Cox Automotive expects EV sales to grow further in 2025 despite uncertainties around policy under the incoming Trump administration. 
Cox noted that over 15 new models are expected to enter the market and coupled with better charging infrastructure and incentives from automakers, EV sales will rise and account for 10% of total vehicle sales in 2025. 
Policy changes under the new administration will likely not be put into effect soon, allowing prospective buyers to make their purchases, it said. 
The research firm is now <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42762224/bev-market-share-will-increase-across-us-china-europe-in-2025-says-sp-global-mobility">expecting 2025</a> to be a record year for EV volume.
