Canadian Natural Resources (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNQ#NYSE">CNQ</a>) has set its 2025 budget, expecting an operating<a target="_blank" href="https://benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/42892935/canadian-natural-resources-limited-announces-2025-budget" rel="noreferrer noopener"> capital budget of about C$6 billion (~$4.2 billion)</a>.
This includes funding for several acquisitions slated for closure in the first quarter of 2025, pending regulatory approvals.
This budget aims to support both production growth in 2025 and long-term capacity expansion.
Additionally, the company has approved C$135 million in capital, including C$90 million for carbon capture projects and C$45 million for a one-time office relocation.
The company targets annual production of 1,510 MBOE/d and 1,555 MBOE/d, representing <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">a 12% growth over 2024 levels</a>.
This strong corporate growth comprises the previously disclosed strategic acquisition of the AOSP and Duvernay assets completed in 2024.
Canadian Naturals projects its production mix for 2025 to be about 47% light crude oil, NGLs, and Synthetic Crude Oil, 26% heavy crude oil, and 27% natural gas, based on the mid-point of its corporate production guidance.
Canadian Natural Resources expects growth to deliver production per share growth of 12% to 16%, based upon recent strip pricing.
Canadian Natural Resources sees natural gas production of 2,425 MMcf/d to 2,480 MMcf/d in 2025, reflecting growth of 14% compared to 2024 levels, based on the mid-point of the forecasted range.
Last month, Canadian Natural Resources finalized the acquisition of Chevron Canada&#8216;s Alberta assets, which include a 20% interest in the Athabasca Oil Sands Project (AOSP) and a 70% operated interest in Duvernay&#8217;s light crude oil and liquids-rich assets.
The acquisition is expected to add approximately 122,500 BOE/d to production in 2025, with 62,500 bbl/d of Synthetic Crude Oil from AOSP and 60,000 BOE/d from Duvernay, which includes natural gas and liquids.
Price Action: CNQ shares closed lower by 0.21% at $32.63 on Wednesday.

Japanese Chipmaker Rapidus Sets Sight on Broadcom to Emulate Taiwan Semiconductor's Market Dominance

Recession fears for 2025 are fading fast, with market models and economist forecasts signaling a slim chance of economic contraction. But with optimism running high, could markets <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s">be misreading the risks?</a>
According to the New York Fed's recession model, there is a 29% probability that the U.S. will enter a recession by the end of 2025. This is a dramatic decline compared to the elevated probabilities seen during the Federal Reserve's aggressive monetary tightening in 2022 and 2023. 
In June 2023, the New York Fed&#8217;s model — which calculates recession probabilities based on the yield spread between 10-year Treasury bonds and three-month bills — estimated a 70% chance of a recession within a year, marking the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/23/06/32719092/us-economy-alarmed-new-york-fed-indicates-highest-likelihood-of-recession-in-over">highest level since 1982. </a>
Notably, recession odds have tumbled since early November 2024. Kalshi betting markets showed a sharp drop from over 50% to just 23% following Donald Trump&#8216;s election victory.
Recession odds have been tumbling because investors expect a strong boost to economic growth under Trump&#8217;s incoming administration. Expectations are centered around fresh tax cuts for individuals and corporations, as well as pro-business policies that could fuel spending and investment.
<iframe loading="lazy" style="border: 0;" src="https://kalshi.com/external-widgets/events/RECSSNBER-25/markets/RECSSNBER-25?color_scheme=light&amp;widget_size=large&amp;utm_campaign=benzingawidget" width="552px" height="400px"></iframe>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Growth Data Defies Expectations</h3>
The U.S. economy has displayed remarkable resilience in the face of high interest rates and persistent inflation. GDP growth in 2024 significantly outpaced other advanced economies, fueled by robust consumer spending.
The third quarter of 2024 saw an annualized GDP growth of 3.1%, revised up from 2.8%. This marked the strongest quarterly performance of the year. Personal spending increased at its fastest pace since the first quarter of 2023, growing 3.7%.
Meanwhile, the Atlanta Fed's GDPNow model estimates a 2.7% growth rate for the fourth quarter. That figure has been revised higher as of Jan. 7.
Oxford Economics also puts the probability of a recession at its lowest level in over two years. That&#8217;s due to a surge in leading indicators that suggest strong momentum heading into 2025.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Too Much Optimism? </h3>
However, there are signs that the optimism may be overblown. 
Capital Economics stated that Trump's anticipated tariffs and immigration restrictions could weigh on GDP growth. The firm expects these measures, if enacted by mid-2025, to push annualized GDP growth down to 1.5% while temporarily driving inflation back up to 3%.
Michael Gayed highlighted that tariffs could also lead to layoffs as companies struggle to balance rising costs. "If tariffs become a bigger thing in the new year, it's reasonable to think that companies could consider layoffs to balance out some of the additional costs, if they don't pass them entirely on to the consumer," he said.
The expert sounded the alarm over renewed inflation risks as periods of Fed easing after extended tightening cycles have triggered inflationary surges.
"The U.S. economy experienced a huge second wave of inflation back in the late 1970s after the Fed brought interest rates way down," said Gayed.
 Inflation had dropped from 11% to 4% before surging back to 14%. With major central banks globally expected to continue rate cuts in the coming quarters, a similar scenario cannot be ruled out.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Risks: Correction Ahead?</h3>
While stocks have climbed in tandem with economic strength, some experts are urging caution. 
Veteran Wall Street investor Ed Yardeni said Trump's initial flurry of executive orders—expected to include new tariffs and immigration actions—could unsettle markets.
Yardeni highlighted a possible 10% correction in the stock market, though he remained optimistic about the broader outlook.
"We can't rule out a 10% stock market correction, but we would view that as a buying opportunity rather than as a reason to panic out of the market since we don't expect a recession or a bear market. We are still targeting 7000 on the S&amp;P 500 by the end of next year," he said.
Goldman Sachs has also flagged a potential market correction risk, citing heightened uncertainty driven by reaccelerating inflation and policy shifts expected under Donald Trump&#8217;s administration, including tariffs and fiscal stimulus measures.

US 2025 Recession Odds Plummet: Good News Or Warning Sign?

Nucor's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>) short percent of float has risen 16.85% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 5.85 million shares sold short, which is 3.19% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.81 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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Nucor has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Nucor's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
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. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Nucor's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.63%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Sheinbaum, however, did not take kindly to Trump's remark that Mexico is "essentially run by the cartels."
"They misinformed him," she said. "In Mexico, the people rule." 
Sheinbaum told reporters she nevertheless felt certain that Mexico was going to have good relations with Trump.
"And we are going to collaborate and understand each other with the government of President Trump. I am sure of it&#8230;defending our sovereignty as a free, independent, and sovereign country."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Not The First Go Round For Trump Vs. Sheinbaum</h2>
Trump butted heads with Sheinbaum, a Nobel Prize-winning climate scientist, practically since she was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/06/39140057/mexicos-first-female-president-faces-persistent-challenges-drug-cartels-border-issues-repairing-">elected by a landslide</a> in October 2024. Their initial conflict began when Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42178994/trump-says-he-will-impose-25-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-on-first-day-of-office-and-extra-tariffs-on-china-until-they-pay-attention">announced in late November</a> that he was intending to impose 25% tariffs on Mexican imports. Sheinbaum responded that Mexico would do the same if the tariffs went into effect.
Addressing the U.S.'s fentanyl crisis during that same period, Trump essentially laid the blame on Mexico. Again, Sheinbaum begged to differ.
"<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/11/42225423/mexico-president-claudia-sheinbaum-to-trump-neither-threats-nor-tariffs-will-solve-your-fentanyl-crisis">Neither threats nor tariffs</a> will solve the migration or the drug abuse phenomenon in the US," she <a href="https://x.com/Claudiashein/status/1861558804652999130" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a> at the time. She called for collaborative solutions to mitigate the escalating drug crisis.
Trump has also indicated he would deport all undocumented individuals to Mexico regardless of where they originally came from. Sheinbaum initially pushed back on that plan though she <a href="https://www.univision.com/noticias/inmigracion/mexico-abre-la-posibilidad-de-recibir-a-migrantes-no-mexicanos-que-deporte-donald-trump">told Univision</a> recently that Mexico will accept deportees but with conditions, which include the right to limit people of certain nationalities. She added that Mexico may also request compensation.
Meanwhile, other countries that have found themselves the target of Trump's territorial machinations are not as good-humored as Sheinbaum. The President-elect's refusal to rule out using military force to retake <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/25/01/42860583/trump-floats-canada-as-51st-us-state-says-hes-ready-to-use-economic-force-to-achieve-it" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the Panama Canal</a> and to get his hands firmly on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/42857403/trump-sends-don-jr-on-mission-to-get-the-deal-done-and-make-greenland-part-of-our-nation">Greenland</a> has upset leaders as well as residents in both places. Then, of course, there's Canada but surely the president-elect was jesting when he suggested it be named the 51st state.

Trump And Mexican President Sheinbaum's Spirited Clash Over Territorial Renaming, Tariffs And Cartels

Just a few days ago, markets were encouraged by the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42789867/chinese-stocks-end-2024-in-green-after-a-3-year-retreat-franklin-ftse-china-etf-ishares-msci-china-etf-and-more-i">rebound in Chinese stocks</a> in 2024, after a three-year losing streak. However, a cloud of uncertainty looms over Chinese stocks and ETFs with exposure to them.
The Biden administration's call to blacklist two more Chinese tech giants—Tencent Holdings and Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL)—has sent shockwaves through global markets, as investors anticipate its impact on the already precarious <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/china">U.S.-China economic ties</a>.
Tencent, the world's largest gaming publisher, and CATL saw their shares plunge on Jan. 6.

Notable ETFs feeling the heat of being on high alert include iShares MSCI China ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCHI#NASDAQ">MCHI</a>), which allocates the biggest chunk of its holdings (15.40%) to Tencent. The net asset value inched down 1% on Jan. 7.
SPDR S&amp;P China ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GXC#NYSE">GXC</a>): Known for its diversified holdings, this fund also allocates 11.42%, its largest for a single security, to Tencent. Other major Chinese firms like Alibaba (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) and Meituan also hold key spots in the portfolio.
Invesco China Technology ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CQQQ#NYSE">CQQQ</a>), which dedicates 100% of its assets to Chinese technology stocks, is particularly sensitive to geopolitical developments. Moreover, Tencent takes up 10.76% of the total assets.
Additionally, ETFs with heavy exposure to Tesla stock, like the Simplify Volt TSLA Revolution ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TESL#NYSE">TESL</a>) has also come in the line of fire, as CATL is a key battery supplier to the EV maker.
The move to add Tencent and CATL to a growing roster of &#8220;Chinese military companies&#8221; was part of the U.S.'s counteractive effort to China's military and industrial ambitions. While the designation doesn&#8217;t impose immediate sanctions, it discourages U.S. firms from doing business with these entities, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-07/us-blacklist-of-china-s-tech-giants-risks-even-faster-decoupling?srnd=homepage-asia&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">notes </a>Bloomberg, a sentiment that trickles down into investor psyche as well.
The blacklist now includes 134 Chinese companies, four of which happen to be China's top 20 by market capitalization, collectively valued at nearly $1 trillion.
ETF investors are now closely watching developments as funds with direct or indirect exposure to Chinese companies may face increased volatility.

Dogecoin Plummets Another 6% But Traders Remain Upbeat: Why?

The stock market is closed on Thursday, Jan. 9, 2025 for a National Day of Mourning to honor former President Jimmy Carter whose state funeral will be held at Washington National Cathedral <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42725647/markets-will-close-for-president-jimmy-carters-state-funeral-what-you-need-to-know">at 10 a.m. ET.&nbsp;</a>

Is The Stock Market Closed For Jimmy Carter's State Funeral?

Costco Wholesale Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>) reaffirmed its retail dominance, reporting an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/retail-sales/25/01/42888095/costco-stock-climbs-after-december-net-sales-up-99-year-over-year" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">impressive 9.8% growth</a> in December U.S. core sales. 
This result exceeded Wall Street&#8217;s 5.2% estimate and topped JPMorgan&#8217;s optimistic 6.7% forecast.
JPMorgan analyst Christopher Horvers credited Costco's results to "market share gains, a shorter season, and a bit better consumer" working in tandem.
E-commerce surged 35.7% year-over-year, partly thanks to Black Friday sales booked in December due to a holiday calendar shift.
Meanwhile, international operations weren't far behind, with core comps climbing 10.3% in Canada and 9.8% across other regions. "No other major retailer has succeeded in every country it entered," Horvers noted, underscoring Costco's unmatched global consistency.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">High-Income Costco Customers</h2>
While the shorter holiday season helped December's numbers, JPMorgan's Horvers pointed to a broader trend: improving consumer spending among higher-income shoppers. 
"We believe this indicates improvement in the consumer spending backdrop, particularly the upper-middle class and higher-income consumer," he said, highlighting Costco's ability to attract these coveted segments.
Costco's diverse product offerings also played a major role. Fresh foods like meat and produce were up high single digits, while non-food categories—led by jewelry, toys, and gift cards—jumped to the high teens.
Ancillary services like pharmacy and optical rebounded, benefiting from a holiday lift, and even electronics like TVs saw sequential improvement.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2025 &amp; Beyond: $1,065 In Sight</h2>
Looking ahead, Horvers remains optimistic, maintaining an Overweight rating on the stock, though he adjusted the price target slightly to $1,065. 
Costco's unique ability to grow "across its box and geographies," coupled with its emerging advertising revenue stream, makes it a standout in retail. "The COST fundamental story challenges all of the best companies," Horvers emphasized.
For investors, Costco's momentum appears unstoppable. In a world where growth is hard to come by, Horvers said it best: "Aside from AMZN, no scaled retailer is growing at this pace." 
The retail king is poised to stay on its throne, and for shareholders, the journey to $1,065 looks well within reach.
