Raymond James Maintains Outperform on Freeport-McMoRan, Lowers Price Target to $53

Unions representing 14,000 Disneyland employees said on Wednesday that they had reached a tentative labor agreement with Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>), averting a potential work <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/unions" rel="noreferrer noopener">stoppage at the iconic theme park</a>.
The three-year agreement, which includes wage increases and additional benefits for park employees known as "cast members," was signed by an alliance of unions representing custodians, ride operators, merchandise clerks, and other workers at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, Reuters reported.
"Cast members have fought hard for the past four months and this tentative agreement would not have been possible without the strength we all showed throughout this process and the unwavering support from guests and community members," the unions stated.
Disney confirmed the tentative deal in a statement saying, "We care deeply about the wellbeing of our cast members .. and are pleased to have reached a tentative agreement with the Master Services council that addresses what matters most to our cast," Reuters writes.
Union members working at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure theme parks, Downtown Disney retail district, and Disney hotels voted overwhelmingly on last Friday to authorize the union to call a strike if an <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/07/39891630/disneyland-strike-nears-14-000-workers-set-to-target-california-theme-park-in-first-walkout" rel="noreferrer noopener">agreement could not</a> be reached.

Workers involved in the strike include ride operators, clerks, candy makers and custodians.
The contract for Disneyland employees expired on June 16, while the pact for Disney California Adventure and Downtown Disney workers expires on September 30.
In September 1984, around 2,000 Disneyland cast members went on strike and walked off the job for 22 days before an agreement was reached.
"We have shown Disney that we are the true magic makers of the park and today proves that when workers stand together for what they deserve, we win," the unions said in a joint statement.
"We look forward to making our voices heard during the voting process to ratify this contract."
Price Action: DIS shares are trading lower by 1.01% at $90.03 at last check Wednesday.

T-Mobile US, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NASDAQ">TMUS</a>) signed a deal with KKR &amp; Co. Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KKR#NYSE">KKR</a>) to form a joint venture (JV) that will acquire Metronet&#8217;s broadband infrastructure, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/07/b39931541/t-mobile-and-kkr-announce-joint-venture-to-acquire-metronet-and-offer-leading-fiber-solution-to-mo" rel="noreferrer noopener">residential fiber operations, and customer base</a>.
At closing, T-Mobile plans to invest about $4.9 billion for a 50% stake in the joint venture, acquiring Metronet&#8217;s residential fiber operations and customers, and funding the JV.
Metronet serves over 2 million homes and businesses across 17 states with its advanced fiber-to-the-home&nbsp;(FTTH) platform.
The JV will also acquire Oak Hill Capital&#8217;s stake, with Oak Hill re-investing to maintain a minority position and founder John Cinelli <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/39931764" rel="noreferrer noopener">retaining a minority stake post-closure.</a>
The JV will enhance T-Mobile&#8217;s 5G Home Internet, which already serves 5 million households, and its fiber partnerships, meeting rising demand for faster, reliable broadband.
The transaction is set to close in 2025, pending standard closing conditions and regulatory approvals.
Post-deal closure, Metronet will become a wholesale provider, and T-Mobile will take over its residential fiber operations and customers.
Moreover, Metronet will be self-funding and aims to reach 6.5 million homes by 2030, with no further capital contributions expected from T-Mobile.
Mike Sievert, CEO of T-Mobile, said, &#8220;Metronet is the perfect partner for T-Mobile as a leader in fiber solutions with an incredibly fast build pace, and a top-notch management team. Together with KKR&#8217;s strong heritage of corporate partnership and global fiber franchise, we will further expand the Un-carrier&#8217;s fiber footprint and deliver real value and choice to customers while addressing a growing demand for fast and reliable broadband.&#8221;

T-Mobile Dials Up A Major Broadband Expansion: Teams With KKR To Acquire Metronet

Investors are eagerly awaiting this Thursday&#8217;s release of advance estimates for the second quarter&#8217;s gross domestic product (GDP) by the Bureau of Economic Analysis at 8:30 a.m. ET.
In the first quarter of 2024, the U.S. economy grew at an annualized rate of 1.4%, a significant slowdown compared to the 3.4% growth in the fourth quarter of 2023. This deceleration was accompanied by a temporary spike in inflation, with the GDP price index jumping to 3.1% in the first quarter, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/24/04/38405106/us-economy-expected-to-grow-2-5-in-q1-not-a-hard-landing-and-hardly-a-soft-one">raising fears of stagflation.</a>
Besides the second quarter GDP data, investors will closely monitor the weekly jobless claims, expected to ease from 243,000 to 238,000, and June&#8217;s durable goods orders, projected to rise by 0.2% month-over-month.
Investors currently assign 100% odds to a Federal Reserve interest rate cut in September, according to CME Group&#8217;s FedWatch tool.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Economist Forecasts for Q2 2024 GDP</h1>
<ul>
<li>Q2 GDP growth: The U.S. economy is expected to grow by 2% quarter-over-quarter annualized in the second quarter, up from 1.4% in the first quarter.</li>
<li>GDP price index: Forecasted to decrease from 3.1% in the first quarter to 2.6% in the second quarter, reflecting a cooling of inflationary pressures.</li>
<li>Core GDP price index: Expected to drop from 3.7% in the first quarter to 2.7% in the second quarter, excluding volatile energy and food prices.</li>
</ul>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Atlanta Fed GDPNow Tracker Points To 2.7% Growth</h1>
The Atlanta Fed&#8217;s GDPNow model has raised its second-quarter real GDP growth forecast to 2.7%, according to its latest update, continuing an upward trend from a low of 1.55% on July 3.
Consumer spending is expected to add 1.5 percentage points (pp) to GDP growth in the second quarter, up from 1.0pp in the first quarter.
Non-residential fixed investments are forecasted to contribute 0.75pp. Private inventories are projected to add 0.95pp, while government spending adds 0.42pp.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">5 ETFs To Monitor Thursday</h1>
The advance estimates on the first-quarter GDP, released on April 25, 2024, impacted growth-sensitive stocks and safe-haven assets. Key movements included:
<ul>
<li>The SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>) fell 0.9%.</li>
<li>The iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>) dropped 0.6%.</li>
<li>The Financials SPDR Select Sector Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NYSE">XLF</a>) decreased 0.6%.</li>
<li>The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) rose 0.5%.</li>
<li>The SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>) increased 0.7%. </li>
</ul>
Based on previous market reactions, a lower-than-expected GDP reading could lead to a weakening in growth-linked stocks and sectors, with investors gravitating towards safer assets like Treasuries and gold. 
Conversely, stronger-than-expected GDP figures might boost the U.S. dollar, especially if also the price index surpasses expectations.

&#8220;And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;I will speak to the Nation later this week in more detail about my decision.&#8221;
