Benchmark Electronics shares are trading higher after the company reported better-than-expected Q2 financial results and issued Q3 adjusted EPS guidance above estimates. Also, Needham and Lake Street raised their respective price targets on the stock.

Constellation Energy Corporation shares are trading higher today after the release of results of the annual power market auction by PJM Interconnection.

For months, one of the key arguments the bulls have used for thinking that the stock market should keep on rallying in the second half of 2024 and beyond has been the thought that the Fed is close to cutting interest rates.&nbsp; We, on the other hand, have been saying that history tells us that these would very likely be bearish developments.&nbsp;
Despite what so many pundits say on Wall Street, lower interest rates are NOT a bullish sign for the stock market…when they follow a significant tightening cycle (like the one we went through in recent years).&nbsp; It's one thing when rates come down due to lower inflation, but it's another thing when it takes place due to a meaningful slowdown in growth.&nbsp; When the latter happens, it is NOT good for a stock market…especially one that is very expensive (like it is today).&nbsp;&nbsp;Slower growth means lower earnings…and lower earnings mean a lower stock market (especially if it's an expensive stock market).&nbsp; This will be the case…even if the "slower growth" does not push us into a recession.&nbsp; (If it DOES push us into a recession, it will be EXTREMELY bearish.)
Looking Forward: Yes, it was great to see last week that the GDP growth in Q2 was higher than the consensus was looking for (2.8% vs. the 2.0% estimate).  However, there is a reason that the GDP reports almost never have much impact on the markets.  They're about as backward looking as any data point economists look at on a regular basis.  So, it was not a surprise that the Treasury market and stock market both ignored that report on Thursday…and moved lower.  However, we're getting a lot of evidence from forward looking information…like the guidance from many consumer-related companies (like Visa, Ford, American Airlines, Nestle, McDonalds, UPS, Coca Cola…and even BofA)…that the consumer is really beginning to pull in their horns……We also see the data on credit card balances that are past due…which have reached their highest level since 2012.  On top of this, the housing market is showing some real signs of weakness.  So, there is no question that there are concerns about growth in the US going forward.
On top of all this, we have the former Fed NY Fed President Bill Dudley penning an article that came out last week…saying that the Fed should cut interest rates at next week's July meeting.  This is a big change for him…and former Fed officials (especially former NY Fed Presidents…who are EXTREMELY influential) do not write pieces like that lightly.  If he is seeing something that tells us that the Fed needs to be more aggressive, it's something we should all take note of.  Heck, Mr. Dudley finished his piece by saying, "Although it might already be too late to fend off a recession by cutting rates, dawdling now unnecessarily increases the risk."  So, it doesn't seem like this extremely influential person is overly bullish on the economic outlook right now.
As we've said many times, if the stock market was trading at 15x or 16x forward earnings, we'd be signing a different tune.  However, as the charts we have provided below (and provided several times in recent weeks), it shows that when interest rates/bond yields roll-over after a significant rise…at a time when the stock market was expensive…it has been very, very negative for stocks…..So, investors need to be careful about what they wish for when it comes to lower short-term interest rates from the Federal Reserve.

In a surprising move, former US President Donald Trump has proposed a plan to establish a national bitcoin stockpile if he is reelected. This announcement has left economists and financial experts scratching their heads.
What Happened: As reported by <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/donald-trumps-plan-to-hoard-billions-in-bitcoin-has-economists-stumped/">Wired</a> on Thursday, Trump unveiled his plan at the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39889133/trump-fundraiser-at-bitcoin-conference-reaches-845k-asking-price-per-seat">Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville</a>, Tennessee. He pledged to retain all bitcoin currently held or acquired by the US government in the future, estimated to be around 210,000 bitcoin, worth approximately $14 billion.
Don&#8217;t Miss:
<ul>
<li>According to Cathie Wood, holding 6 Ethereum (ETH) could make you a millionaire, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/adv-6eth" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here&#8217;s why it can be true</a>.</li>
<li>If you invested $100 in DOGE when Elon Musk first tweeted about it in 2019, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bydfi-doge" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here&#8217;s how much you&#8217;d have today</a>.</li>
</ul>
While the plan was well-received by conference attendees, economists like James Angel from Georgetown University have expressed skepticism. Angel questioned the economic benefit of such a move, suggesting that it might primarily serve to secure votes from bitcoin enthusiasts.
Trump&#8217;s proposal implies an increase in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/07/40066385/strategic-bitcoin-reserve-could-be-paid-for-by-federal-reserve-earnings-and-reevaluating-gold-propos">US bitcoin holdings</a> over time. However, the source of funding for additional acquisitions remains unclear. The options of raising taxes, accruing debt, or printing more US dollars seem to contradict Trump&#8217;s goal of reducing inflation and national debt.

<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
Despite the excitement from the bitcoin community, the plan has faced criticism for potentially benefiting a small subset of the population at the expense of others. Michael Green, chief strategist at asset management firm Simplify, compared the situation to the US government promising to pay over the odds for real estate in California, but no other state.
Furthermore, if implemented, Trump&#8217;s plan could increase the government&#8217;s dependence on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/cryptocurrency-mining">bitcoin mining</a> companies, who maintain the underlying network. This could potentially lead to the bitcoin mining industry becoming another special interest group that the US government would have to bail out in case of instability.
The future of Trump&#8217;s plan remains uncertain. Angel referred to Trump as a &#8220;master demagogue&#8221; and suggested that the plan could go the way of Trump Airline, Trump Casino, and Trump University, implying it might not materialize.

Economists Skeptical About Trump's Bitcoin Stockpile Plan: A Game-Changer Or A Mere Election Gimmick?

Team USA Gymnast Simone Biles helped herself and her team complete a redemption tour from the 2020 Summer Olympics with a gold medal win at the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/olympics">2024 Summer Olympics.</a>
Biles now returns to the individual all-around championship on Thursday with a chance at more redemption.
What Happened: Teammates Biles and Suni Lee will compete for the gold medal in the 2024 Summer Olympics Individual All-Around.
While Biles dropped out of the 2020 Olympics gymnastics event to prioritize mental health, she is the former champion of the event at the 2016 Olympics and at several World Championships. Without Biles competing in the event in the 2020 Summer Olympics, Lee stepped up and won the gold medal.
Thursday's competition, which airs on NBC and streams on Peacock at 12:15 p.m. ET, will mark the first time that two gold medalists in the event will face off against each other.
Betting odds from DraftKings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKNG#NASDAQ">DKNG</a>) show that Biles and Lee are expected to finish first and second and take home the gold and silver medals respectively. Here are the betting odds to win the gold medal in the 2024 Olympics Women's Gymnastics Individual All-Around:
<ul>
<li>Simone Biles: -575</li>
<li>Suni Lee: +450</li>
<li>Rebecca Andrade (Brazil): +500</li>
<li>Qiu Qiyuan (China): +800</li>
<li>Alice D'Amato (Italy): +2,500</li>
</ul>
Betting $100 on Biles to win the gold medal would return a profit of $17.39 if she wins the individual all-around event.
A win and second place finish by Biles and Lee in any order would give USA the gold and silver again. In 2016, Aly Raisman got the silver medal.
Andrade won the silver medal behind Lee in the 2020 Olympics and took home the silver medal in the 2023 World Championships behind Biles. The Brazilian won the 2022 World Championship for the same event.
In the team all-around, Team USA won with a score of 171.926 followed by Italy at 165.64 and Brazil at 164.497.

Why It's Important: Biles is one of the most famous Olympians of the last decade. She has the chance to add to her records and impressive medal counts.
The Team USA all-around gold medal gave Biles eight Olympic medals to make her the most decorated American gymnast in Olympics history.
Medals won by Biles and Lee could help add to the USA medal count.
At the time of writing, USA currently ranks first in the overall medal count with 28, besting France (22) and Great Britain (17).
Team USA trailed in the gold medal count with four, compared to leaders China (8), Australia/Japan (7) and France/Great Britain (6).
USA was favored to win the most medals and gold medals ahead of the Olympics. The country has won the most medals in many recent years and has led the way in the most gold medals in the past three Summer Olympics.
Gymnastics remains one of the most popular sports for American viewers. It <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/07/40017149/paris-olympics-opening-ceremony-viewership-up-60-from-2020-olympics-can-comcast-stock-get-a">could provide a boost</a> to media rights partner Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>).

Simone Biles Helps Team USA Gymnastics Win Gold, Can She Win All-Around Championship Again? Here's How Much A $100 Bet Pays Out

Illumina's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ILMN#NYSE">ILMN</a>) short percent of float has fallen 5.04% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 4.78 million shares sold short, which is 3.39% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.57 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure.
