Equinor ASA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EQNR#NYSE">EQNR</a>) shares are trading higher after the company reported&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/07/g39923184/equinor-second-quarter-2024-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">second-quarter&nbsp;FY24 results</a>.

Production benefited from performance at NCS, driven by Troll and Oseberg, along with the ramp-up of new fields.
The contribution from the Buzzard field in the U.K. and new wells partially offset lower production in the U.S.
Group average liquids price rose&nbsp;10%&nbsp;Y/Y to&nbsp;$77.6/bbl, and&nbsp;realised&nbsp;piped gas price U.S. was&nbsp;$1.53/mmbtu.
Equinor produced 655 GWh from renewables, up&nbsp;90%&nbsp;Y/Y, in the quarter. Onshore power plants, notably in Brazil and Poland, and strong offshore wind farm production drove over half of the quarter&#8217;s output.
Equinor reported an adjusted operating income of $7.48 billion in the quarter, with $6.13 billion from E&amp;P Norway, $699 million from E&amp;P International, and $264 million from E&amp;P USA.
Adjusted EPS of&nbsp;$0.84, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">missing the consensus of&nbsp;$0.85</a>.
Operating cash flow stood at&nbsp;$1.61 billion, down&nbsp;13%&nbsp;Y/Y, in the quarter.
Dividend: The board of directors declared a&nbsp;first-quarter&nbsp;ordinary cash dividend per share of&nbsp;$0.35&nbsp;and an extraordinary cash dividend of&nbsp;$0.35, payable on November 29, to shareholders of&nbsp;record&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/07/g39923186/equinor-asa-key-information-relating-to-cash-dividend-for-second-quarter-2024" rel="noreferrer noopener">as of November 19</a>.
Repurchase: The board has launched a third tranche of its share buyback program, totaling up to $1.6 billion, running from July 25 to October 22.
In February 2024, the board of directors disclosed a two-year share buyback program for 2024-2025 of&nbsp;$10 billion-$12 billion&nbsp;in total, with&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/07/g39923187/equinor-to-commence-third-tranche-of-the-2024-share-buy-back-programme" rel="noreferrer noopener">up to&nbsp;$6 billion&nbsp;for 2024</a>.&nbsp;
In the quarter, Equinor drilled seven exploration wells offshore, including the Argerich well in Argentina, but made no commercial discoveries. Seven wells were still in progress at the end of the quarter.
FY24&nbsp;Outlook: Equinor continues to expect total <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/38430077" rel="noreferrer noopener">capital distributions of&nbsp;$14 billion&nbsp;in FY24</a>.

"Shark Tank" star <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/kevin-oleary-says-moved-taxachusetts-141512623.html">Kevin O'Leary </a>painted a bleak picture of the housing market during a recent Fox News interview.
The Canadian investor expressed deep pessimism about the affordability crisis, suggesting it has no easy solution.
O'Leary identifies inflation and remote work as the main drivers of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/07/39887303/kevin-oleary-weighs-in-on-three-states-where-owning-might-be-better-than-selling">housing </a>affordability crisis. High inflation has led the Federal Reserve to maintain higher interest rates, making mortgages more expensive.

</ul>
U.S. inflation remained elevated in June at 3.3%, exceeding the Fed's 2% target. As a result, the central bank has kept its benchmark interest rate high, with the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage at 6.77%.
"The anticipation was that rates would come down," O'Leary said. "In fact, only 12 months ago we were thinking seven rate cuts of which none have appeared because inflation remains rampant; we're still north of 3%."
Lower <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/06/39481157/kevin-oleary-says-the-biden-administrations-investment-in-affordable-housing-will-cause-more-inflati">housing costs</a> in rural areas can typically balance higher loan interest rates. However, O'Leary contends that the pandemic has disrupted this traditional pattern in the housing market.
"We had this weird outcome of the pandemic where people started moving away from metropolitan areas … and the prices in those houses in rural regions went way through the roof," he told Fox News. "It's a new America. It's a digitized America, and housing is more expensive."
Trending: Commercial real estate has historically outperformed the stock market, and<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/marcus-millichap-backed-platform-makes-it-easy-to-invest-in-real-estate"> this platform allows individuals to invest in commercial real estate with as little as $5,000 offering a 12% target yield with a bonus 1% return boost today</a>.
O'Leary said that although real estate has been a good investment for 200 years, there's no easy solution to fix the trends. High inflation and interest rates could keep home prices elevated.
O'Leary isn't alone in this prediction. Real estate experts like Grant Cardone, who sees rents doubling, and Dave Ramsey, who cites limited housing supply, share O'Leary's view of continued price increases.
The data supports this. A Realtor.com analysis reveals a significant housing shortage, with single-family home construction lagging behind new households by 7.2 million since 2012. While high mortgage rates dampened buyer and seller activity, the lack of available homes kept prices near the previous year's level.

While the overall housing market faces significant challenges, regional disparities are emerging. Factors like climate change and work dynamics are influencing local trends.
For example, Florida's increased risk of natural disasters has driven up property insurance costs, impacting home prices. According to Redfin, a surplus of homes on the market is also contributing to a slowdown in the state. Texas is experiencing similar pressures.
Conversely, rural areas that boomed during the pandemic as remote work hubs may now face cooling demand as companies enforce office returns. A Redfin survey indicates that 10.1% of people planning to move are doing so because of return-to-work mandates, sometimes at a financial loss.

Fidelity Ethereum Fund: My Personal Pick From The ETH ETFs

Ethereum's journey from a visionary project to a cornerstone of blockchain tech

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Spot Ethereum (<a href="https://investorplace.com/cryptocurrency/eth-usd/">ETH-USD</a>) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have started trading on Tuesday marking a major milestone for fans of the Ethereum blockchain.



Let&rsquo;s get into the spot Ethereum ETFs <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/07/23/spot-ether-etfs-set-to-debut-tuesday-what-it-means-for-ethereum-blockchain.html">that started trading today</a> below!



<h2>Spot Ethereum ETFs to Watch on Tuesday</h2>



<ul><li>Grayscale Ethereum Trust (OTCQX:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/ethe-stock-quote/">ETHE</a>)</li>



<li>Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust (ETH)</li>



<li>Bitwise Ethereum ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETHW#NYSE">ETHW</a>)</li>



<li>iShares Ethereum Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETHA#NASDAQ">ETHA</a>)</li>

<li>ARK 21Shares Core Ethereum ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CETH#BATS">CETH</a>)</li>

<li>Franklin Ethereum ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EZET#BATS">EZET</a>)</li>
</ul>This marks the first time that investors have been able to buy stakes in spot Ethereum ETFs. Previously, they were limited to Ethereum ETF futures. This change comes after spot Bitcoin (<a href="https://investorplace.com/cryptocurrency/btc-usd/">BTC-USD</a>) ETFs started trading earlier this year.



Crypto traders are celebrating the launch of spot Ethereum ETFs today as it marks another win for the market. Crypto has faced extra scrutiny from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as the government seeks extra regulations for the emerging market.



Spot Ethereum ETFs allow investors to invest in the crypto without holding it directly. That opens the market up to some investors that may not want the direct exposure or the hassle that comes with getting started in the space.
