S&P 500 Logs Worst Weekly Decline Since April; Investor Optimism Falls Further

Over the weekend, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk shared a video on X, formerly Twitter, that showcased an AI-<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/08/33653379/months-after-viral-drip-pic-pope-francis-sounds-alarm-on-ais-disruptive-possibilities-and-ambivalent">generated fashion show</a> featuring global powerhouses.
What Happened: The video was made by the YouTube channel &#8220;Interdimensional TV&#8221; featuring many global figures like Musk, Barack Obama, Pope&nbsp;Francis, Kim Jong Un, Joe Biden,&nbsp;and Mark Zuckerberg, in AI-created outfits, mirroring or satirizing their public images.
For example, Zuckerberg was shown in a reptilian skin suit, poking fun at the wild conspiracy theory that the Meta CEO is a lizard in disguise — an idea he&#8217;s denied before. In 2016, Zuckerberg was asked about this, to which he said, &#8220;I'm gonna have to go with &#8216;no&#8217; on that. I am not a lizard.&#8221;

Musk, on the other hand, was featured wearing a futuristic space suit.
The video also portrayed Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a vibrant, multi-colored outfit, and&nbsp;Russian President Vladimir Putin in a&nbsp;Louis Vuitton ensemble.
Other notable appearances&nbsp;included Apple CEO Tim Cook&nbsp;with&nbsp;an iPad around his neck,&nbsp;and Chinese leader Xi Jinping in a bright red outfit adorned with playful teddy bear motifs.
The video was made using platforms like Midjourney and Luma Labs, as per the description written in the YouTube video. Musk, while sharing the video, said,&nbsp;&#8220;High time for an AI&nbsp;fashion show.&#8221;

The Goodyear Tire &amp; Rubber Company (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GT#NASDAQ">GT</a>) (&quot;Goodyear&quot; or the &quot;Company&quot;) today announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to sell its Off-the-Road (&quot;OTR&quot;) tire business to The Yokohama Rubber Company, Limited (TYO:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TYO:5101#TYO">5101</a>) (&quot;Yokohama&quot;) for&nbsp;$905 million&nbsp;in cash. The transaction follows a previously announced strategic review of the OTR tire business in connection with the Goodyear Forward transformation plan.
<a href="https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/95226/goodyear_tire_and_rubber_company_logo.html" target="_blank"><img alt="The Goodyear Tire &amp; Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio, USA. (PRNewsFoto/Goodyear Tire &amp; Rubber Company)" src="https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/95226/goodyear_tire_and_rubber_company_logo.jpg" /></a>
Goodyear&#39;s OTR tire business provides industry-leading OTR tires around the world for surface and underground mining, construction and quarry, and port and industrial end markets. Goodyear OTR offers a comprehensive suite of trusted products, services and tire management solutions that help customers optimize their operations and improve productivity and efficiency.
&quot;The sale of the OTR business marks an important milestone as we continue to execute against our Goodyear Forward transformation plan,&quot; said&nbsp;Mark Stewart, Goodyear Chief Executive Officer and President. &quot;We are grateful to our OTR colleagues who have driven the success of the business and are committed to working closely with&nbsp;Yokohama&nbsp;to ensure a smooth transition for customers and associates.&quot;
Goodyear will retain its business providing OTR tires for U.S. military and defense applications. Pursuant to a Product Supply Agreement to be entered into with&nbsp;Yokohama&nbsp;in connection with the closing of the transaction, Goodyear will manufacture certain OTR tires for&nbsp;Yokohama&nbsp;at some of its manufacturing locations for an initial period of up to five years after the closing of the transaction.
The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals, other customary closing conditions and consultations and is expected to close by early 2025. Goodyear intends to use transaction proceeds to reduce leverage and fund initiatives in connection with the Goodyear Forward transformation plan.

As the Paris Olympics 2024 is about to get underway, millions of fans will travel to the French capital city to attend one of the world&#39;s largest sporting events. Thanks to the latest technology from&nbsp;<a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4216129-1&amp;h=3427346042&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.johnsoncontrols.com%2F&amp;a=Johnson+Controls" target="_blank">Johnson Controls</a>&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JCI#NYSE">JCI</a>), they will enjoy a more comfortable experience at some of the smartest and most energy-efficient stadiums on the continent.

As the twelfth power plant in the city of&nbsp;Paris&#39;&nbsp;cooling network, it meets the cooling needs of the Adidas Arena and the surrounding area.

Honeywell&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HON#NASDAQ">HON</a>)&nbsp;has been selected by United Airlines to provide a wide range of avionics for new 737 MAX aircraft that will enter service over the next decade, including technologies such as the industry&#39;s only 3D weather radar, new 25-hour flight data recorders and advanced traffic avoidance systems.
<a href="https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/2465299/Honeywell_Aerospace_United_Avionics.html" target="_blank"><img alt="Honeywell x United Avionics" src="https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/2465299/Honeywell_Aerospace_United_Avionics.jpg" /></a>
United Airlines first selected a similar suite of Honeywell avionics in 2018 to equip 161 737 MAX aircraft, and this latest agreement builds on Honeywell&#39;s reliability in delivering world-class aerospace technology.
&quot;We are proud to continue our long-standing relationship with United Airlines to provide advanced avionics for its growing 737 MAX fleet,&quot; said&nbsp;Heath Patrick, President, Americas Aftermarket, Honeywell Aerospace Technologies. &quot;Our technology reduces pilot workload, improves situational awareness and supports dispatch reliability.&quot;
United Airlines selected the following Honeywell cockpit technologies for its 737 MAX fleet:
<ul>
<li>IntuVue RDR-4000 3D Weather Radar System&nbsp;is the first automatic commercial radar to accurately depict weather in the flight path of an airplane. IntuVue automatically scans the sky at 17 tilt angles &mdash; the most in the industry &mdash; and delivers a 3D view of the weather through an intuitive display that pilots can quickly and easily reference.</li>
<li>Honeywell Connected Recorder &ndash; 25&nbsp;is made for commercial air transport aircraft to accommodate mandatory flight data and cockpit voice recording. It may result in the potential for better maintenance predictability and operational insight through data analytics.</li>
<li>Honeywell&#39;s TPA100B Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System and TRA&nbsp;100B&nbsp;Transponders&nbsp;identify the aircraft to other surrounding aircraft via an airborne collision avoidance system.</li>
<li>Integrated Multi-Mode Receiver&nbsp;is the industry&#39;s leader in radio navigation and combines satellite- and ground-based navigation systems into one receiver. It helps pinpoint precise airplane locations for efficient landings, especially during difficult and new runway approaches.</li>
<li>The ALA-52B radar altimeter&nbsp;assists instrument landings at hundreds of U.S. airports and filters out 5G broadband interference.</li>

Woodward, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WWD#NASDAQ">WWD</a>), a global leader in energy control solutions for aerospace and industrial applications, announced it has been selected to provide rotary actuation solutions for the NASA and Boeing Transonic Truss-braced Wing (TTBW) X-66A aircraft demonstrator.

Farnborough Air Show &ndash; Pratt &amp;&nbsp;Whitney Canada&nbsp;and Collins Aerospace, businesses of RTX (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTX#NYSE">RTX</a>), have been selected by Airbus Helicopters to support the development of a hybrid-electric propulsion system for its PioneerLab technology demonstrator. Based on a twin-engine H145 helicopter, PioneerLab aims to demonstrate the potential of hybrid-electric propulsion as well as aerodynamic improvements to enable up to&nbsp;30%&nbsp;improved fuel efficiency and reduced CO2 emissions compared to a conventionally powered aircraft.
For the PioneerLab demo, the helicopter&#39;s existing engines will be replaced by a hybrid-electric propulsion system comprised of a Pratt &amp;&nbsp;Whitney Canada&nbsp;PW210 engine derivative linked with two Collins Aerospace 250 kW electric motors and controllers through a common gearbox. This hybrid-electric configuration is designed to enable optimized engine performance and improved efficiency, with the electric motors providing high torque capability during flight conditions such as take-off and landing.&nbsp;Test flights of the hybrid-electric propulsion system are targeted to begin in 2027&nbsp;at Airbus Helicopters&#39; site in Donauw&ouml;rth,&nbsp;Germany.

Emerging Markets Gear Up For Growth In 2024

KraneShares MSCI Emerging Markets ex China Index ETF declares $0.5691 dividend

AI And The Dragon: What Trends Will Dominate 2024?

KALL

It&#39;s not unusual for an emerging markets exchange traded fund to use <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/19/04/13489861/a-new-spin-on-india-etfs">exclusionary tactics</a>. What is unusual is when an emerging market ETF offering access to multiple developing economies excludes China, the world&#39;s second-largest economy.

<h3>What Happened</h3>

KraneShares, the ETF issuer known primarily for its expertise with Chinese assets, introduced the KraneShares MSCI Emerging Markets ex China Index ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/KEMX#NYSE">KEMX</a>) last Friday. The new ETF, the 13th fund in the KraneShares stable, tracks the MSCI Emerging Markets ex China Index.

That index provides exposure to large- and mid-cap stocks in developing economies excluding China.

<h3>Why It&#39;s Important</h3>

The widely followed MSCI Emerging Markets Index allocates almost 33 percent of its weight to China, more than double its second-largest country exposure, which is South Korea. That benchmark&#39;s China weight is expected to increase as MSCI increases the weight its indexes <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/19/03/13275007/msci-indexes-will-see-larger-a-shares-weights">have to A-shares</a>, the stocks trading on mainland China.

In other words, investors buying supposedly diversified emerging markets ETFs are often making larger China bets than they initially realize.

&ldquo;The Emerging Markets ex China Index captures large and mid cap representation across 23 of the 24 Emerging Markets (EM)countries excluding China,&rdquo; <a href="https://www.msci.com/documents/10199/68ba6e15-672b-4b05-8140-6df3412ac472">according to MSCI</a>. &ldquo;With 667 constituents, the index covers approximately 85% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization in each country.&rdquo;

As of the end of the first quarter, that index allocated over 36 percent of its combined weight to South Korea and Taiwan and over 24 percent of its combined weight to India and Brazil.

KEMX&#39;s underlying index devotes 25.22 percent of its weight to financial services stocks, a slight overweight to that sector relative to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. KEMX&#39;s index also has a 20.28 percent weight to technology stocks, well above the 14.59 percent allocated to that sector in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.

<h3>What&#39;s Next</h3>

&ldquo;Investors will be able to pair KEMX with other KraneShares China-focused core and thematic funds to make a strategic investment without duplicating exposure to China,&rdquo; <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/kraneshares-china-focused-asset-manager-debuts-emerging-market-etf-excluding-china-300831360.html">according to KraneShares</a>.

The new ETF charges 0.49 percent per year, or $49 on a $10,000 investment.
