Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOLD#NYSE">GOLD</a>) shares are trading higher today amid traders&#8217; optimism that the Fed will cut the rate. The company also reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/07/g39789046/higher-q2-production-puts-barrick-on-track-to-deliver-2024-targets" rel="noreferrer noopener">preliminary production details</a>.
Barrick Gold reported second-quarter production of 948,000 ounces of gold and 43,000 tonnes of copper, with preliminary&nbsp;sales of 956,000 ounces of gold <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">and 42,000 tonnes of copper</a>.
The company expects gold and copper production to increase each quarter in 2024, with more output in the second half, remaining on track <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/38553218" rel="noreferrer noopener">to meet its full-year guidance</a>.
In particular, preliminary second-quarter gold production exceeded first-quarter, driven by increased output at Turquoise Ridge after first-quarter maintenance, successful ramp-up at Porgera, and significant gains at Tongon, North Mara, and Kibali, partially offset by planned lower production at Cortez and Phoenix.
On the other hand, the preliminary second-quarter copper production grew Q/Q, mainly due to higher grades and recoveries at Lumwana following the ramp-up in stripping activities and a planned first-quarter shutdown.
The average market price for gold in was $2,338 per ounce, and for copper, it was $4.42 per pound.
Barrick will report its quarterly <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">results on August 12, 2024</a>.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;Sprott Gold Miners ETF&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SGDM#NYSE">SGDM</a>) and&nbsp;VanEck Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDX#NYSE">GDX</a>).

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator also suggests a bullish outlook with a reading of 0.50. However, some caution is warranted due to slight selling pressure and its price being below the 200-day SMA of $153.37, which is a bearish signal. 
Additionally, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 60.62 indicates the stock is heading towards the Overbought territory, while Bollinger Bands (25) suggest a bullish signal, with the stock trading near the upper bound of $150.31.

Johnson & Johnson: Bullish Charts Signal Strong Setup Before Q2 Earnings

XPeng Inc &#8211; ADR (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>) shares are trading higher by 4.8% to $8.77 during Tuesday&#8217;s session. The stock is rebounding following China's announcement of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39768528/alibaba-chinese-tech-stocks-and-ev-stocks-nio-xpeng-li-auto-tumble-after-disappointing-economic-repo">lower-than-expected GDP growth</a> of 4.7% for the second quarter. Analysts had predicted a growth rate of 5.1%.
The economic report indicates a slowdown in retail sales growth and rising unemployment, which can lead to reduced consumer confidence. When consumers are less confident about their economic prospects, they are less likely to make big purchases, such as cars. This directly impacts sales for companies like XPeng.
The economic report also mentions deflationary pressures leading to price cuts on various goods, including cars. If deflation is forcing car prices down, this can squeeze profit margins for XPeng and other auto manufacturers, making their stocks less attractive to investors.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy XPEV Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in XPeng&#8217;s case, it is in the Consumer Discretionary sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, XPEV has a 52-week high of $23.62 and a 52-week low of $6.55.

This announcement was made at the Computex trade show in Taiwan last month, followed by a detailed presentation at a recent event in Los Angeles, VentureBeat <a target="_blank" href="https://venturebeat.com/ai/amd-takes-a-deep-dive-into-architecture-for-the-ai-pc-chips/" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.

According to Vamsi Boppana, AMD's SVP of AI, the NPUs can operate AI models at 35 times the performance per watt of a standard CPU and eight times that of an integrated GPU.

The latest AMD Ryzen AI chips integrate 16 RDNA 3.5 GPU compute units and 12 Zen CPU cores, and thanks to the XDNA 2 architecture, they offer 50 TOPS.
AMD's XDNA 2 architecture features 32 AI engines and 50 NPU TOPS, which supports various applications, including immersive collaboration, creative editing, gaming, personal AI assistance, and enterprise productivity.

Wall Street analysts view Advanced Micro Devices on the whole as a Outperform, given the history of coverage over the past three months. Christopher Danely from Citigroup in Advanced Micro Devices is the most optimistic, expecting a 19.32% rise in the stock in the coming year.
But looking at how the market as a whole thinks of the stock, you can reference historical price action for views on whether investors feel strongly about the stock one way or another. In the past 3 months, Advanced Micro Devices rose 12.83%, which indicates that opinion improved on the business and how attractive it is to own based on either its stock price, or underlying fundamentals, like revenue, which rose 2.24% over the past year.

One of the original "meme stocks" Koss Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KOSS#NASDAQ">KOSS</a>) shares are climbing Tuesday on heavy trading volume. Here's a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39647722/whats-going-on-with-koss-stock"> look at what's going on.&nbsp;</a>
What To Know:
Koss shares exploded higher in early July as retail investors circulated a<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/1dtv3zj/the_gme_koss_connection_the_spark_to_ignite_the/"> social media post</a> speculating on a possible connection between GameStop Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) and Koss. The post attempted to extract a pattern from a series of emojis posted by Roaring Kitty, and some investors speculated that Koss could be the next stock Roaring Kitty will target based on the sequence of emojis.&nbsp;
Koss gave back a large portion of its gains from the beginning of July, however the stock remains up by more than 150% over the past month. Koss is moving higher on heavy volume Tuesday with more than triple the stock's average daily volume already traded in the session, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>

Former President Donald Trump has selected Senator J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) to be his running mate in the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/07/39780777/trump-picks-senator-j-d-vance-as-running-mate-musk-says-great-choice-for-vp"> 2024 presidential election.</a>
The Senator has grown in popularity in the Republican Party in recent years, but many across the nation may be unfamiliar with his history. Here's a look at five things you might not know about the vice-presidential candidate.
"Hillbilly Elegy" Author: Vance is the author of the 2016 memoir "Hillbilly Elegy," which was also turned into a movie that Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) had the distribution rights to and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/streaming-stocks">now streams on their platform.</a>
The book, which is <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Hillbilly-Elegy-Memoir-Family-Culture/dp/0062300547">called </a>&#8220;A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis,&#8221; went on to be a New York Times Bestseller.
Vance's book tells the story of his upbringing in rural Kentucky and later in blue collar Ohio.
"From a former marine and Yale Law School graduate, a powerful account of growing up in a poor Rust Belt town that offers a broader, probing look at the struggles of America's white working class," a description of the book reads.
The movie adaptation of the book starred Glenn Close, Amy Adams and Gabriel Basso, who portrayed Vance. Close was nominated for an Academy Award for Supporting Actress. The film also received an Academy Award nomination for Best Makeup &amp; Hairstyling.

Rise at Young Age: The memoir helped Vance gain popularity and later led to a political shift. Vance won a Senate seat in the 2022 election, defeating Democrat Tim Ryan. A Senator since 2023, Vance's selection as the running mate for Trump came with some questions about his age and experience.
Vance will turn 40 in August. If Trump and Vance win the election, the senator will become the youngest vice president since Richard Nixon, who served two terms under President Dwight Eisenhower beginning in 1953.
The Senator would become the third-youngest vice president in American history if Trump wins. Nixon (40) and John Breckenridge (36) would be the only vice presidents younger than Vance.
Born in 1984, Vance is officially the first Millennial to be nominated as a vice-presidential candidate for a major party in a presidential race.  
Venture Capitalist: Before his career in politics, Vance was a venture capitalist and has investment experience in the technology sector and connections to several notable venture capitalists.
Vance was<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39787707/peter-thiels-ties-with-jd-vance-may-influence-palantir-co-founders-position-on-trump-post-vp-selecti"> a former principal</a> at Peter Thiel's Mithril Capital in 2016 and 2017. He later left Mithril to work at Revolution LLC in 2017, an investment firm founded by AOL founder Steve Case.
In 2019, Vance co-founded Narya Capital, a venture capital fund. The fund received <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2024/07/15/trumps-vp-candidate-j-d-vance-has-long-ties-to-silicon-valley-and-was-a-vc-himself/">backing </a>from Theil, Eric Schmidt and Marc Andreessen.
One of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39782144/rumble-stock-rallied-on-monday-heres-what-happened">Narya Capital's investments</a> is in Rumble Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUM#NASDAQ">RUM</a>), a video sharing platform.
Vance was also an <a href="https://x.com/danprimack/status/1812938120381538544">investor </a>in AppHarvest, an indoor faming startup that went public in 2021 via SPAC merger. Vance previously served on the company's board of directors before stepping down in 2021 months after the merger was completed. AppHarvest filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2023.
Quiver Quant <a href="https://x.com/QuiverQuant/status/1812937994728358057">lists </a>other investments for Vance and his companies as Anduril Technologies, Kriya Therapies and Atmos Nuclear and Space.
Data from Quiver Quant shows that Vance also has investments in several ETFs. Vance's top holdings are the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>).
Bitcoin Holder: Along with his investments in private companies and through his past venture capital days, Vance is also an investor in cryptocurrency. A <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39785340/trumps-vice-presidential-pick-j-d-vance-holds-bitcoin-supports-pro-crypto-legislation">previous financial disclosure</a> showed Vance owned $100,0000 to $250,000 in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>).
Along with being a Bitcoin holder, Vance has also been a vocal proponent of the cryptocurrency sector. Vance has been critical of SEC Chairman Gary Gensler's handling of the cryptocurrency sector. The senator is also working on a bill that would work on regulating the cryptocurrency sector.
A February 2022 <a href="https://x.com/JDVance1/status/1493575391457517568">tweet </a>from Vance criticized the ability to freeze bank accounts in Canada.
"This is why crypto is taking off. The regime will cut off your access to banking if you have the wrong politics," Vance tweeted.
The selection of Vance comes as Trump has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/05/38952866/trump-accepts-cryptocurrency-donations-in-bitcoin-ethereum-shiba-inu-dogecoin-and-more-say">changed his tune</a> about cryptocurrency and has the sector rallying behind him. Analyst Todd Gordon said Bitcoin<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39786797/bitcoin-could-hit-100k-this-year-with-trump-jd-vances-pro-crypto-presidential-ticket-says-"> could pass $100,000</a> with the pro-crypto ticket of Trump and Vance winning the 2024 election.
Past Criticism of Trump: Before becoming a firm supporter of Trump and his vice-presidential pick, Vance was a critic of the former president. Vance once called Trump a "cynical a&#x2A;&#x2A;hole" and compared him to Adolf Hitler in a private conversation. In public, Vance called Trump "reprehensible" and worried about his political ideology.
"Trump makes people I care about afraid. Immigrants, Muslims, etc. Because of this I find him reprehensible. God wants better of us," Vance said in a since-deleted tweet, as <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/elections/2024/07/15/jd-vance-trump-criticism/">reported </a>by The Washington Post.
Vance said he was a "Never Trump guy."
The senator has brushed off the past criticism of Trump in recent <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/jd-vance-addresses-past-criticism-trump-after-hes-chosen-vp-bought-medias-lies-distortions">interviews</a>.
"I was certainly skeptical of Donald Trump in 2016, but President Trump was a great president, and he changed my mind," Vance said.
Vance said he "bought into the media's lies and distortions."
"I bought into this idea that somehow he was going to be so different, a terrible threat to democracy. It was a joke."
Vance credited Trump's endorsement in the 2022 election as helping to get him elected to the Senate.
