TSMC ((TWSE: 2330, NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) today announced its net revenue for January 2025: On a consolidated basis, revenue for January 2025 was approximately NT$293.29 billion, an increase of 5.4 percent from December 2024 and an increase of 35.9 percent from January 2024.
On Jan. 21, Taiwan experienced a 6.4 magnitude earthquake on the Richter scale, followed by several significant aftershocks throughout the Lunar New Year holiday. There was no structural damage to our fabs, and the water supply, power, workplace safety systems, and operations are functioning normally. A certain number of wafers in process were impacted and had to be scrapped due to the earthquake and aftershocks. As a result, the revenue forecast for the first quarter of 2025 is now anticipated to be closer to the lower end of the guidance range of US$25 billion and US$25.8 billion. Based on a preliminary assessment, the Company estimated related earthquake losses to be approximately NT$5.3 billion, net of insurance claim, and will recognize it in the first quarter of 2025. Despite this, the Company maintains first quarter gross profit margin to be between 57% and 59% and operating profit margin is expected to be between 46.5% and 48.5%. The Company is making every effort to recover the lost production, and there is no change to our full-year outlook.

Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) witnessed an unprecedented jump in bearish bets by Wall Street hedge funds, limiting the second-largest cryptocurrency&#8217;s upside potential.
What Happened: In an X post on Sunday, capital markets commentator&nbsp;The Kobeissi Letter highlighted that short positioning in Ethereum has surged by 40% in just one week and by a staggering 500% since Nov. 2024. 
&#8220;Never in history have Wall Street hedge funds been so short of Ethereum, and it&#8217;s not even close,&#8221; The Kobeissi Letter stated.

The &#8220;extreme positioning&#8221; has led to Ethereum significantly underperforming Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), the analysis concluded. 
Indeed, Bitcoin surged over 107% in the last year, while Ethereum grew by a paltry 6%. Additionally, Bitcoin&#8217;s market valuation was six times more than that of Ethereum as of this writing
The Kobeissi Letter attributed market manipulation,&nbsp;harmless cryptocurrency hedges, and a bearish outlook on Ethereum as some of the factors behind the surge in short positioning.
It warned that such positioning could cause dramatic crashes, <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/43427669/ethereum-whales-awake-after-six-years-score-378-million-potential-profit-hours-before-market-crash">like the one witnessed last week amid trade war fears</a>, to be more common.

Over the weekend, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau&#8217;s (CFPB) operations were unexpectedly suspended. This followed DOGE lead Elon Musk&#8217;s apparent call for the agency&#8217;s dissolution in an X post on Saturday, where he wrote &#8220;CFPB RIP.&#8221; The decision is expected to benefit financial firms facing ongoing enforcement actions.
What Happened: Shortly after Musk&#8217;s post, the CFPB&#8217;s acting director, Russell Vought, who also recently became the Director of the United States Office of Management and Budget, took action.
Vought halted all pending CFPB investigations and supervisory activities. He then informed the Federal Reserve that the CFPB would not be requesting its next round of funding, citing the agency&#8217;s current $711.6 million balance as &#8220;excessive in the current fiscal environment.&#8221;

JPMorgan, BofA, Equifax, And Others May Get Relief After CFPB Dissolution: Maryland Senator Says He Will Ensure It Continues To 'Fight For Consumers'

Google Deepmind&nbsp;CEO, Demis Hassabis, commended that DeepSeek&#8217;s AI model is &#8220;probably the best work&#8221; to have surfaced from China. Despite praising the model, Hassabis clarified that it did not constitute a significant technological breakthrough.
What Happened: At a Google-hosted event in Paris preceding the AI Action Summit, DeepMind CEO, Demis Hassabis expressed that the DeepSeek AI can do "extremely good engineering" and that it "changes things on a geopolitical scale.", <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/02/09/deepseeks-ai-model-the-best-work-out-of-china-google-deepmind-ceo.html">CNBC </a>reported. 
However, Hassabis added that "despite the hype, there's no actual new scientific advance … it's using known techniques [in AI]." According to him, the hype around Deepseek has been "exaggerated a little bit."
Hassabis questioned DeepSeek&#8217;s claims regarding its low costs and the chips it utilizes. DeepSeek had earlier proclaimed that its AI model was developed at a fraction of the cost of leading AI players and utilized less advanced Nvidia chips. This revelation triggered a substantial stock sell-off and ignited a discussion over the high spending of large tech firms on AI infrastructure.
Regarding artificial general intelligence (AGI), Hassabis stated&nbsp;that the AI industry is&nbsp;&#8220;on the path towards AGI,&#8221;&nbsp;and suggested that we may be only around five years away from a&nbsp;system that exhibits all the&nbsp;cognitive capabilities humans have.

Why It Matters: Hassabis&#8217; comments align with Alphabet Inc. (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>) CEO Sundar Pichai <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43487551/sundar-pichai-acknowledges-deepseeks-ai-advancementsbut-says-googles-gemini-still-leads-in-cost-performance-and-latency">who acknowledged the progress made by DeepSeek</a> but maintained that Google&#8217;s Gemini remains superior in efficiency, cost, and performance. Hassabis also considers Google&#8217;s newly launched Gemini 2.0 Flash Models as more efficient than even Deepmind&#8217;s model. 
In another instance, ex-Google researcher and CEO of Cohere, Aidan Gomez told Business Insider that DeepSeek&#8217;s R1 is &#8220;a really impressive release&#8221;. However, he doesn&#8217;t believe that it should be a viable option for businesses.
Interestingly, Chinese tech companies are witnessing a surge after the DeepSeek launch which gaining an edge over its US tech counterparts in terms of valuation. On Feb.6, Bloomberg Data suggested that the Hang Seng Tech Index had an average price-to-earnings ratio of 20.5 times, compared to the Mag. 7 giants that <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/quote/meta" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"></a>traded at an average of 41.4 times.

Google DeepMind CEO Calls DeepSeek AI 'Best Work' From China, But Says Hype Is Overblown: 'There's No Actual New Scientific Advance'

In a recent interview with YouTuber Modern Day Eratosthenes, Microsoft Corp.&#8217;s co-founder Bill Gates criticized Tesla Inc.&#8217;s Elon Musk and Amazon.com Inc.&#8217;s Jeff Bezos for prioritizing space exploration over real-world crises.
What Happened: Gates argues that While they spend billions on Mars colonies and space tourism, their money would be better spent addressing urgent global issues like hunger, disease, and climate change. "Rich people can do whatever they want&#8230; but I do think malnourishment is the worst thing there is," he said.
Space vs. Real-World Problems: For Gates, issues on Earth deserve far more attention than space exploration. "Farmers&#8230; they're experiencing climate change, which will mean sometimes too much rain, sometimes drought," he noted, emphasizing the urgent need for solutions.
He also highlighted the staggering human cost of mosquito-borne diseases, stating, "Nobody who has money has malaria," which is why he believes these issues receive far less funding than space ventures. "With mosquitoes, it's still like 600,000 [deaths] a year," he said, highlighting the scale of the problem.
While he acknowledges that some space technology has value — such as SpaceX's reusable rockets, which lower launch costs — he remains skeptical of long-term space ambitions. In his view, billionaire resources would be better spent addressing immediate crises on Earth rather than funding extravagant space projects.

Why It Matters: Gates dismissed Musk's vision of a Mars colony as impractical, saying, "It's not a very hospitable place." He also aimed at Bezos' plans for space stations, suggesting they serve more as billionaire hobbies than meaningful contributions to humanity.
"Some people like more artificial satellites that you could put people on. People like Jeff Bezos are into that," he said.
While Musk and Bezos push for interplanetary expansion, Gates sees their priorities as misplaced. "I put my money into things like getting rid of malaria and measles and polio," he said, contrasting his focus with their space ambitions.

What Happened: The discussion gained momentum after Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) posted on X, formerly Twitter, asking followers to support Paul as Federal Reserve chairman. Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk endorsed the idea, responding to a suggestion that Paul should lead a Federal Reserve audit team.
Srinivasan, a prominent Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) advocate and Silicon Valley investor, shared an image of Paul&#8217;s 2009 book &#8220;End the Fed&#8221; with the caption &#8220;Nothing can stop an idea whose time has come.&#8221; The book criticizes the Federal Reserve System and advocates for its abolition on constitutional and economic grounds.

Originally nominated to the Fed Board of Governors by former President Barack Obama, current Fed Chair Jerome Powell was chosen to run the central bank by President Donald Trump in early 2018. Powell has declared his intention to serve out his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41849984/powell-brushes-off-trumps-removal-threat-economists-say-2026-could-be-his-last-stand">entire tenure through 2026</a>.

Why It Matters: The conversation around Paul&#8217;s potential role extends beyond the Fed chairmanship. Musk previously expressed interest in having Paul join the proposed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a Trump campaign initiative aimed at cutting federal spending. Paul, while open to helping reduce government spending, has indicated he doesn&#8217;t seek <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41698615/elon-musk-says-would-be-great-to-have-former-congressman-and-fed-critic-ron-paul-in-department-of-go">an official position</a>.
Paul, known for his fiscal conservatism, recently criticized U.S. foreign aid practices, calling them an &#8220;immoral transfer of wealth&#8221; and arguing they redirect funds from American citizens to wealthy <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42377089/ron-paul-wants-elon-musk-vivek-ramaswamy-led-doge-to-eliminate-this-program-of-immoral-transfer-of-wealth">entities in poorer nations</a>.
The renewed attention on Paul&#8217;s monetary policy views comes as the DOGE initiative targets potential federal spending cuts of up to $2 trillion, though experts project more modest savings of $50-100 billion annually against a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42377089/ron-paul-wants-elon-musk-vivek-ramaswamy-led-doge-to-eliminate-this-program-of-immoral-transfer-of-wealth">projected $1.7 trillion deficit in 2024</a>.

The demand for stroke care in Ukraine is nearly doubling, exacerbated by war damage and displaced populations lacking access to timely care. This program – which is already well on its way – aims to address these immense challenges by creating an advanced network of locations for the diagnosis and treatment of stroke.
The joint initiative delivers advanced image-guided therapy systems optimized for acute stroke treatment to key regions, including Dnipro, Sumy, Kharkiv, Lviv, Zaporizhzha and Odesa. Philips is deploying 25 of its Azurion interventional suites to support minimally invasive stroke treatments. These systems support complex neurovascular procedures, such as thrombectomies&#x2A;, which can reverse stroke effects. The systems integrate software tools and technologies to accelerate procedures and enhance care coordination. Together, these innovations streamline care pathways, reduce treatment delays and improve patient outcomes. Philips is working with its partner, AFS Medizintechnik, to roll out systems across the country. So far, 19 systems have been installed and are already helping Ukrainian physicians provide optimized care to their stroke patients.

As we enter a new week, the cryptocurrency market presents both opportunities and risks for investors seeking short-term gains. Market indicators, though not foolproof, can help investors make informed decisions in this volatile environment.
What happened: Meme coins like Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) and Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>) invariably remain on investors' radar because of their high valuations and impressive gains over the years.
DOGE and SHIB <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43583729/bitcoin-dogecoin-made-amends-last-week-but-litecoin-grabbed-spotlight-with-25-gains">rose 9.19% and 9.85%</a>, respectively, last week. Technical indicators gave mixed signals for the two meme heavyweights.
The Momentum indicator, which compares the short-term price and long-term price, flashed a &#8220;Buy&#8221; signal for both SHIB and DOGE, <a href="https://in.tradingview.com/symbols/DOGEUSD/technicals/">according </a>to TradingView.
On the other hand, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator, which compares two exponential moving averages of price, flashed a &#8220;Sell&#8221; signal.
The Bull Bear Power indicator, which measures the strength of buyers and sellers, was "Neutral" for both SHIB and DOGE.
On the derivatives front, over 50% of Dogecoin traders were betting against its price increase, while 52% of SHIB traders were long on the meme coin, <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/LongShortRatio">according</a> to Coinglass.

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump's meme coin, Official Trump (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TRUMP</a>), plunged over 10% over the last week, affecting its speculative interest.
TRUMP's Open Interest fell by 9% in the last 24 hours, with the majority of its futures traders placing bearish short positions.
XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>), the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, rallied over 10% in the last week. Its Momentum indicator and the Stochastic Relative Strength Index, which measures the level of the Relative Strength Index relative to its high-low range over a period, both flashed a "Buy" signal.&nbsp;
That said, the MACD indicator painted a bearish short-term picture for the cryptocurrency.&nbsp;

Earnings Scheduled For February 10, 2025

Despite inflation worries, Americans are expected to increase their Super Bowl spending, according to a recent report. However, more fans are planning to cut back on their expenses for the big game.
What Happened: A study by LendingTree found that 75% of Americans plan to watch the Super Bowl. However, 31% of these viewers intend to cut back on their Super Bowl spending compared to last year, <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/americans-super-bowl-spending-rise-despite-inflation-worries?ref=biztoc.com">reported</a> Fox Business. This is a notable jump from the 19% who plan to increase their budget. Meanwhile, 50% of respondents expect their spending to remain unchanged.
Those planning to spend on Super Bowl festivities expect to spend an average of $142, marking a 22% increase from last year&#8217;s $116. The main expenses include food, beverages, and fan gear.
Matt Schulz, chief credit analyst&nbsp;at LendingTree stated, &#8220;Even though more people are&nbsp;saying they&#8217;re going to spend&nbsp;less, the average amount for&nbsp;people who are going to&nbsp;spend was up fairly significantly.&#8221;
The report also highlighted that 41% of Super Bowl viewers intend to place bets on the game. Most of these bettors plan to wager smaller amounts, with only 41% expecting to bet $100 or more.

Why It Matters:&nbsp;The high cost of Super Bowl ads was a concern for many viewers. A Benzinga poll also revealed that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43563633/exclusive-is-super-bowl-7m-cost-worth-it-61-say-this-while-18-admit-to-looking-up-companies-after-last-years-nfl-">61% of viewers didn&#8217;t believe</a> the high cost of these ads was worth it. LendingTree&#8217;s findings coincide with a separate study by the Bank of America Institute, which revealed that Americans&#8217; spending on spectator sports hit a record high in 2024.
The Super Bowl event of Sunday saw a host of celebrity-packed commercials, with over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43583058/super-bowl-ads-go-all-in-on-ai-stars-and-8m-price-tags-elon-musk-shared-this-advert-with-his-followers">10 spots costing</a> advertisers $8 million each. President Donald Trump made history as the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl. Besides the traditional sponsors, this year&#8217;s commercials attracted tech companies like Alphabet Inc.

Americans To Spend Big On Super Bowl, 22% Surge From Last Year Likely Despite Inflation Worries: Report

Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban recently expressed his views on Elon Musk&#8216;s Department Of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative, advocating for more transparency and suggesting the inclusion of Democrats for oversight.
What Happened: Cuban on Monday reiterated his long-standing stance on government transparency, stating, &#8220;If you have nothing to hide, hide nothing.&#8221; 
Cuban&#8217;s post was a response to a resurfaced 2017 video shared by an X user, where the billionaire called for cutting the government's size by at least one-third and enhancing its efficiency—an idea that also underpins Trump&#8217;s newly established department, now led by Musk.
Cuban said, he &#8220;Still stand by it.&#8221;
challenging Musk&#8217;s DOGE initiative, which has faced criticism for its lack of transparency, Cuban suggested that Musk invite Democrats to work with his DOGE teams to provide a clearer picture of the project&#8217;s operations.

Interestingly, Cuban, a long-time Trump critic, has also shown interest in launching his meme coin with proceeds going to the U.S. Treasury to reduce the national debt. &nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/02/43515728/mark-cuban-mocks-meme-coins-but-pitches-one-to-cut-u-s-debt-if-its-a-grift-make-it-a-grift-to-benefit-all-americans">Cuban&#8217;s potential meme coin</a>&nbsp;could offer a contrast to the current DOGE initiative and its transparency issues.
Meanwhile, in a pre-Super Bowl interview, President Donald Trump expressed his trust in Elon Musk and highlighted that Musk's influence is particularly noteworthy since he is &#8216;not gaining anything&#8217; from the position.

Mark Cuban Says He Backs Government Efficiency, But Questions Elon Musk's DOGE Initiative's Transparency: 'If You Have Nothing to Hide, Hide Nothing'

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk and Vice President of Finance Sendil Palani addressed allegations of the EV company evading taxes in posts on X over the weekend. The company did not evade tax but carried it forward as per an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) provision, they said.
What Happened: Musk called for tax reform in a post on social media X on Saturday, claiming there are too many &#8220;loopholes.&#8221; Following the post, several X users noted that his EV company Tesla did not pay federal income tax for several years, including in 2024.
&#8220;Tesla losses were high for many years, so carry forward. Super majority of profit is from production and sales overseas, not US. But the point I am making IS that we need tax reform!,&#8221; Musk wrote in response to the allegations.

Tesla VP of Finance Palani also took to X to address the claims.
&#8220;Tesla&#8217;s income taxes are not an example of fraud. Tesla complies with all tax regulations in all of the regions of the world in which we operate,&#8221; Palani said.
&#8220;Details about 2024 Income Taxes were disclosed to last month in our 10-K (filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission). Notably &#8211; we outline our net operating loss carry-forwards, which result from the fact that Tesla has been unprofitable for the significant majority of its 20+ year history,&#8221; he said, while urging everyone to not look at any one recent year in isolation for details on the company&#8217;s finances.

For the full-year 2024, Tesla recorded total revenue of $97.69 billion, marking a growth of about 1% from the year before, despite a 6% drop in automotive revenues which was offset by a rise in revenue from the company&#8217;s energy generation and storage segment.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk, VP Of Finance Address Allegations Of Tax Fraud: 'Losses Were High For Many Years, So Carry Forward'

Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), has publicly dismissed the idea of acquiring the widely-used short-video app, TikTok. On Jan. 19, the U.S. President, Donald Trump signed an executive order to postpone the enforcement of a ban on the Chinese short-video app.
What Happened: Musk&#8217;s comments were made in late January and released online by The WELT Group,&nbsp;a division of&nbsp;German media company Axel Springer&nbsp;SE, on&nbsp;Saturday. Musk joined a summit hosted by the group via video, where he stated, &#8220;I&nbsp;have not put in a&nbsp;bid for TikTok.&#8221;

<figcaption class="wp-element-caption"> These comments were made a week after U.S. President Donald Trump signaled openness to Musk purchasing the app, which is owned by the Chinese company ByteDance. However, Musk admitted he was unfamiliar with the app's format and stated he had no intentions of acquiring it. &#8220;I&#8217;m not eager to buy TikTok. I rarely acquire companies,&#8221; Musk remarked. The Tesla Founder also clarified that he likes to build companies from scratch but acquiring Twitter, now called X, was an &#8216;important and productive step&#8217; to preserve the freedom of speech in America and the world at large. While the enforcement of the ban on the short-video app has been delayed, Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Google (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) have yet to restore TikTok to their app stores. However, TikTok announced on Friday that U.S. Android users can now download and access the app via package kits available on its website, bypassing the restrictions. Trump has stated that he is in discussions with multiple parties regarding the potential purchase of TikTok and expects a decision on the app&#8217;s future later this month. The President ordered a ban on the short video app amid national security concerns. Currently, the app has approximately 170 million users in the U.S. SEE ALSO: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/02/43511395/trump-pushes-for-tiktok-deal-china-could-oblige-if-it-werent-for-those-tariffs-heres-what-we-know">Trump Pushes For TikTok Deal, China Could Oblige If It Weren&#8217;t For Those Tariffs — Here&#8217;s What We Know</a> Why It Matters: The idea of Musk acquiring TikTok first <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/01/42965533/elon-musk-emerges-as-potential-tiktok-us-buyer-as-ban-deadline-looms-company-terms-it-pure-fiction">emerged in mid-January</a>, when Chinese officials considered Musk as a potential buyer for TikTok&#8217;s U.S. operations.

Elon Musk Shuts Down TikTok Buyout Rumors, Says He Prefers To Build Companies From Scratch: 'I Rarely Acquire Companies'

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed a decline in the overall market sentiment, while the index remained in the &#8220;Fear&#8221; zone on Friday.
U.S. stocks settled lower on Friday, with the Dow Jones index dipping more than 400 points as investors digested the jobs report for January.
Wall Street also recorded losses last week as renewed fears over inflation and trade tariffs eroded risk appetite. Investor uncertainty grew following President Donald Trump&#8217;s announcement that ‘reciprocal tariffs' would take effect next week.
The University of Michigan&#8217;s consumer sentiment survey revealed an &#8220;unusually large&#8221; spike in inflation expectations. The one-year inflation outlook surged by a full percentage point to 4.3%, marking its highest level since November 2023.
On the macro front, February's jobs report revealed a mixed outcome, with employment growth slowing down more than expected, yet unemployment fell more than expected, and wages surged more than expected.
Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) reported better-than-expected earnings and sales results for its fourth quarter after the market close Thursday. However, the company said it sees first-quarter net sales to come in a range of $151 billion to $155.5 billion, up 5% to 9% year-over-year, down from market estimates of $158.5 billion.
All sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a negative note, with communication services, consumer discretionary, and materials stocks recording losses on Friday.
The Dow Jones closed lower by over 444 points to 44,303.40 on Friday. The S&amp;P 500 fell 0.95% to 6,025.99, while the Nasdaq Composite dipped 1.36% at 19,523.40 during Friday's session.
Investors are awaiting earnings results from McDonald&#8217;s Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>), ON Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ON#NASDAQ">ON</a>), and Rockwell Automation, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROK#NYSE">ROK</a>) today.
What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
At a current reading of 39.3, the index remained in the &#8220;Fear&#8221; zone on Friday, versus a prior reading of 44.3.
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.
