<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<h3>About Freeport-McMoRan</h3>
<p>Freeport-McMoRan owns stakes in 10 copper mines, led by its 49% ownership of the Grasberg copper and gold operations in Indonesia, 55% of the Cerro Verde mine in Peru, and 72% of Morenci in Arizona. It sold around 1.2 million metric tons of copper (its share) in 2023, making it the one of the world's largest copper miners by volume. It also sold about 900,000 ounces of gold, mostly from Grasberg, and 70 million pounds of molybdenum. About 75% of 2023 revenue was from copper, with a further 15% from gold and about 10% from molybdenum. It had about 25 years of copper reserves at end December 2023. We expect it to sell similar amounts of copper midcycle in 2028, though we expect gold volumes to decline to about 700,000 ounces then due to falling production at Grasberg.</p>

<p>Recruiters and hiring managers aren't just frustrated; they're rethinking whether it's worth hiring recent graduates. One in six employers say they're hesitant to bring on new grads and some companies outright avoid them in next year's hiring cycle.</p>
<p>According to a New York Post article, the disconnect doesn't seem limited to the U.S. Recruitment expert Roxanne Calder observes similar trends in Australia, though not as severe as in America. She notes that employers are frustrated because younger hires often fail to meet the expectations tied to their starting salaries – many of which hover around $80,000 for entry-level roles. Companies are looking for employees who can "fire" on all cylinders immediately, but Calder says many Gen Z workers lack the technical and interpersonal skills to meet these demands.</p>

<p>In her experience, one of the biggest challenges is how Gen Z handles feedback. "They find it really difficult," she told news.com.au, as the New York Post reported.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Sometimes, Calder converses with young workers and then sends them an email asking if they have anything to add because she finds they struggle so much with face-to-face communication. This hesitancy to engage directly with managers and process constructive criticism creates a significant gap between employer expectations and employee readiness.</p>
<p>Feedback has also become a sticking point; Calder notes that Gen Z workers often struggle to take constructive criticism, which can create friction with managers.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/06/39181971/gen-z-job-applicant-rejects-90-minute-task-ceo-faces-backlash">Adding fuel to the fire</a>, TikTok is full of Gen Z employees sharing their stories about being fired. Some blame rigid or outdated workplace cultures, while others admit they weren't prepared for the reality of their roles. Calder says, "They want the dream career, but when the reality hits, it's hard to reconcile the two."</p>
<p><strong>Trending: Over the last five years, the price of gold has increased by approximately 83% — Investors like Bill O&#8217;Reilly and Rudy Giuliani are using this platform to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/american-hartford-gold"><strong>create customized gold IRAs to help shield their savings from inflation and economic turbulence.&nbsp;</strong></a></strong></p>
<p>But the finger-pointing can't rest solely on Gen Z. HR consultant Bryan Driscoll argues that the education system shoulders some responsibility. In a Newsweek article, Driscoll drew on personal experience, stating, "As someone who went through years of education, including law school, I can tell you this: colleges are not preparing students for real-world work."</p>
<p>Companies, too, could step up by offering better onboarding and mentorship programs to set young hires up for success. Driscoll warns, "If companies keep treating them as disposable assets, we're going to end up with a workforce that's both overworked and unprepared."</p>
<p>Bridging the gap will ultimately <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/can-you-guess-how-many-americans-successfully-retire-with-1-million-saved">require effort on both sides</a>. Employers need to invest in the next generation and Gen Z workers need to adapt to the demands of the professional world. Until then, the revolving door of new hires and rapid terminations will likely keep spinning.</p>

Cannabis Stock Gainers And Losers From November 29, 2024

<p><strong><em>Via <a href="https://elplanteo.com/venderan-semillas-de-cannabis-psicoactivo-en-uruguay/">El Planteo</a></em></strong></p>
<p><strong>Mercedes Ponce de León,</strong> founder of <strong><a href="https://elplanteo.com/expocannabis-uruguay-2024/">ExpoCannabis Uruguay</a></strong>, announced that &#8220;On Friday, December 6, at ExpoCannabis Uruguay, at 1 p.m., we will make history with the launch of the first pre-sale of legal psychoactive cannabis seeds in Uruguay.&#8221; This milestone cements Uruguay's position as a global cannabis industry leader.</p>
<p>The news, shared exclusively during <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ouJLpCZvIA">El Planteo Live #23</a>, opens new doors for consumers and local businesses. Ponce de León explained that this initiative, spearheaded by <strong>Antera Garden Supplies</strong> in collaboration with seed bank <strong>Ripper Seeds,</strong> will offer legal psychoactive varieties. She added, "This is a revolutionary change in Uruguay&#8217;s cannabis history."</p>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Uruguay: A Pioneer Facing New Challenges</strong></h1>
<p>Since legalizing cannabis production, commercialization and consumption in 2013, Uruguay has led the way in the region. The country has gained recognition for exporting medical cannabis flowers and industrial hemp, with companies striving for a global presence.</p>
<p>However, challenges persist, particularly in navigating international regulations and securing financing.</p>
<p><strong>See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/41996451/uruguays-cannabis-industry-struggles-amid-export-barriers-price-drops" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Uruguay's Cannabis Industry Struggles Amid Export Barriers, Price Drops</a></strong></p>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>ExpoCannabis: Driving Industry Transformation</strong></h1>
<p>ExpoCannabis Uruguay has been a key event for the cannabis industry since its inception. More than just a networking opportunity, the event acts as a springboard for regulatory and commercial breakthroughs.</p>
<p>Ponce de León highlighted the importance of this year's edition, where the pre-sale of seeds takes center stage, promising to reshape the landscape for local consumers and growers. She noted, "ExpoCannabis has always been a platform for innovation, and this year will be no different."</p>
<p>The event's significance lies in its ability to generate impact both nationally and internationally. It attracts investors, experts and companies who view Uruguay as a model to emulate.</p>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The Future Of Cannabis In Uruguay</strong></h1>
<p>Despite its accomplishments, Uruguay faces growing competition from countries such as Colombia and Mexico, which are advancing in cannabis production and exportation. To maintain its leadership, Uruguay must continue innovating, diversifying its markets and addressing regulatory challenges with clear strategies.</p>
<p>The pre-sale of legal seeds marks just the beginning. As Ponce de León summarized, "This is the start of a new chapter for Uruguay's cannabis sector."</p>

Nu Holdings's Options Frenzy: What You Need to Know

<p>As sustainable investing faces mixed signals heading into 2025, select stocks are well-positioned to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/esg">benefit from ESG</a> catalysts. </p>
<p>While broader sustainable funds underperformed the market in 2024, opportunities still exist in stocks that are tapping into green growth trends. </p>
<p>JPMorgan analysts say these stocks are poised to benefit from macro tailwinds as sustainable investing continues to evolve.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Electric Vehicles, Charging Networks: EVgo Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EVGO#NASDAQ">EVGO</a>)</h2>
<p>According to JPMorgan, the electric vehicle (EV) boom is far from over, and EVgo stands to capitalize on it. As the adoption of EVs continues to rise, EVgo's charging network is set to see more traffic, driving revenue growth. With an expanding customer base and supportive government policies pushing for increased charging infrastructure, EVgo is poised for solid growth in 2025.</p>
<p>JPMorgan analysts are bullish on the stock, and with the EV sector gaining momentum, EVgo is expected to be one of the top ESG picks.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Green Energy and Hydrogen: Plug Power Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLUG#NASDAQ">PLUG</a>)</h2>
<p>Plug Power is another key player in the clean energy sector. The company's focus on hydrogen fuel cells positions it well for a significant revenue inflection in 2025, especially with the anticipated finalization of the IRA 45V production tax credit guidance. This could unlock stalled projects, particularly electrolyzers, that would drive higher revenue growth. </p>
<p>According to JPMorgan, Plug Power's strategic positioning in green energy solutions, combined with potential tax incentives, makes it an exciting pick for ESG-focused investors looking to benefit from the green transition.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Building Materials &amp; Green Construction: TopBuild Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLD#NYSE">BLD</a>)</h2>
<p>The building materials sector is seeing a shift toward sustainability, and TopBuild is set to benefit. New U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regulations coming into effect in 2025 will require single-family and low-rise multi-family homes to meet stricter energy efficiency standards. TopBuild, as a distributor and installer of insulation, is well-positioned to benefit from these changes. </p>
<p>JPMorgan analysts note that with green building demand on the rise, TopBuild's exposure to sustainable construction trends offers solid long-term growth potential.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Recycled Materials &amp; Eco-Friendly Products: The AZEK Co Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZEK#NYSE">AZEK</a>)</h2>
<p>AZEK is making moves in the building products sector with a focus on sustainability. The company's increased use of recycled PVC and PE materials in its products aligns with the growing demand for eco-friendly construction materials. With green building trends on the rise, AZEK's commitment to sustainability positions it to gain market share in 2025 and beyond. </p>
<p>JPMorgan highlights AZEK as a solid choice for investors looking to tap into the demand for green building solutions.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Green Hydrogen: Air Products &amp; Chemicals Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APD#NYSE">APD</a>)</h2>
<p>For investors seeking exposure to large-scale green energy projects, Air Products &amp; Chemicals is one to watch. The company is involved in several high-profile green hydrogen initiatives, including the NEOM project in Saudi Arabia and a blue hydrogen facility in Louisiana. With demand for clean hydrogen expected to surge in the coming years, APD's ability to scale its projects and secure long-term contracts could drive substantial earnings growth. </p>
<p>JPMorgan analysts believe that while there may be short-term volatility, APD is poised for strong long-term performance in the ESG space.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ESG Catalysts Ahead In 2025</h2>
<p>While sustainable funds struggled in 2024, several key stocks are primed to benefit from macro trends in 2025, according to JPMorgan.</p>
<p>From EV charging networks to green hydrogen and eco-friendly construction, these stocks are tapping into growth areas with strong ESG catalysts. </p>
<p>As long as performance continues to drive these sectors forward, JPMorgan analysts believe ESG-focused investors have much to look forward to in the year ahead.</p>

<p>Prominent trader <strong>Eugene Ng</strong> <a href="https://x.com/0xENAS/status/1862548337570062821">highlighted</a> Dogecoin&#8217;s resilience after reclaiming the $0.40 mark. </p>
<p>"Reclaiming 4H after faking down below 40c looks to me like this was indeed some healthy consolidation," he tweeted. "Don't think we've ranged in this region for this long just to flag out without trying to reach ATH again."</p>
<p><strong>Kevin</strong>, another well-known trader, <a href="https://x.com/Kev_Capital_TA/status/1861795417370825176">pointed</a> to emerging bullish signals on the 4-hour timeframe, citing a hidden bullish divergence as a critical development.</p>
<p>&#8220;Let's get back above .41 cents (.786 Fib), and we'll be back in business," he wrote, noting the potential for upward momentum if key resistance levels are broken.</p>

<p>Others, such as analyst <strong>Ali</strong>, tempered enthusiasm with a reminder of historical patterns.</p>
<p>He <a href="https://x.com/ali_charts/status/1862444140891709938">compared </a>the current market setup to past parabolic Dogecoin runs in 2017 and 2020, which included brief corrections before sustained rallies. </p>
<p>"Dogecoin is going to test your patience in this parabolic run! Just like in 2017 &amp; 2020, we got a sell signal from TD, anticipating a brief correction before the bull rally continued," Ali noted.</p>
<p>The excitement around Dogecoin comes amid broader discussions about the cryptocurrency's future, particularly its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42247693/dogecoin-etf-coming-in-2025-i-think-someones-going-to-try-says-etf-analyst">prospects for institutional adoption.</a></p>
<p>With a new U.S. administration that has shown a crypto-friendly stance, the possibility of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42247693/dogecoin-etf-coming-in-2025-i-think-someones-going-to-try-says-etf-analyst">Dogecoin exchange-traded fund (ETF)</a> is fueling additional interest.</p>

Dogecoin Price Up 6.5%: What Is Going On?

<p>In the current session, the stock is trading at $132.66, after a <strong>1.69%</strong> spike. Over the past month, <strong>BWX Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BWXT#NYSE">BWXT</a>)</strong> stock increased by <strong>6.75%</strong>, and in the past year, by <strong>60.65%</strong>. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.</p>
<p>

<h3>A Look at BWX Technologies P/E Relative to Its Competitors</h3>
<p>The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. </p>
<p>Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the <strong>76.28</strong> in the Aerospace &amp; Defense industry, BWX Technologies Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of <strong>43.2</strong>. Shareholders might be inclined to think that  the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. </p>
<p>
</p><p><img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1732909528_1.png" alt="Guage" /></p>

<p>In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions. </p>

<p><strong>Simon Property Group</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPG#NYSE">SPG</a>): The large real estate investment trust saw increased interest from readers during the week.

<p>With Thanksgiving falling later than normal, there are only 27 days from the day before Thanksgiving to Christmas Day. While this means fewer shopping weekends for retailers and malls, it could see a boost in traffic during the four main shopping holidays. </p>
<p>Analysts have been raising their price targets on the stock ahead of the holiday shopping season. Stifel raised their price target from $164.50 to $175.50 and Scotiabank raised their price target from $169 to $185.

<p><strong>Allison Transmission Holdings</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALSN#NYSE">ALSN</a>): The automatic transmissions company saw increased interest from readers during the week. The company makes products mainly for the commercial vehicle sector, which could benefit from an industrial boom under President-elect <strong>Donald Trump</strong>. </p>
<p>The company's recent quarterly financial results continued a streak of beating analyst estimates. Allison Transmission has beaten earnings per share estimates in nine straight quarters and beat revenue estimates in four straight quarters and eight of the last nine quarters overall. </p>
<p>Citigroup recently maintained a Neutral rating on the stock and raised the price target from $115 to $125. The stock was up slightly over the past week and shares are up over 100% year-to-date in 2024.</p>

<p><strong>Constellation Energy Corp</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEG#NASDAQ">CEG</a>): The energy solutions company has appeared on<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/07/39866122/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet"> multiple Stock Whisper Index </a>lists throughout the year and makes it return thanks to increased interest in nuclear power generation. </p>
<p>The company is one of several energy companies betting on future nuclear energy that could benefit from a boom in big companies like <strong>Alphabet</strong> (<strong>Google), Amazon </strong>and <strong>Microsoft </strong>emphasizing nuclear power. </p>
<p>Goldman Sachs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41731110/goldman-sachs-sees-early-stages-of-nuclear-renaissance-in-us-analysts-highlight-top">recently said </a>the U.S. could be in the "early stages of nuclear renaissance." Constellation Energy was named in the analyst note, with the company's Three Mile Island plant being brought back online highlighted as the start of other similar moves.</p>
<p>"Recognition of accelerated power demand growth from utilities is leading to greater willingness to consider new large-scale reactors," Goldman Sachs said.</p>
<p>The company recently reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41719271/constellation-energy-q3-earnings-beat-revised-fy24-eps-guidance-more">third-quarter financial results </a>that saw revenue and earnings per share come in ahead of analyst estimates. Constellation Energy also raised full-year earnings per share estimates.</p>
<p>Constellation shares were up 2.2% over the past five days and shares are up over 120% year-to-date in 2024.</p>
<p><figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent112924&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="999" height="505" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/29143722/Screenshot-256.png" alt="" class="wp-image-670749" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/29143722/Screenshot-256.png 999w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/29143722/Screenshot-256-300x152.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/29143722/Screenshot-256-768x388.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 999px) 100vw, 999px" /></a></figure></p>
<p><strong>Ufp Industries Inc</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UFPI#NASDAQ">UFPI</a>): The wooden pallet manufacturer and industrial packaging solutions company saw increased interest from readers during the week. </p>
<p>The company, which also supplies lumber to the manufacturer housing sector, recently announced the opening of a new 10,000-square-foot packaging design and development center at its Georgia facility. Ufp Industries said the new design center will offer new testing services to help its customers. </p>
<p>The stock could be one to watch with the new center potentially landing bigger deals and keeping customers. The company's ties to the manufactured home sector could also be on watch with the potential for the housing sector to be a theme going forward.</p>
<p><figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent112924&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1001" height="506" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/29141251/Screenshot-257.png" alt="" class="wp-image-670725" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/29141251/Screenshot-257.png 1001w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/29141251/Screenshot-257-300x152.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/29141251/Screenshot-257-768x388.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px" /></a></figure></p>
<p><strong>Intuit Inc </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTU#NASDAQ">INTU</a>): The company, which owns TurboTax, QuickBooks and other financial products, saw increased interest from readers over the week. </p>

<p>While the report beat estimates, investors are becoming concerned about how the company's tax business <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/42073106/whats-going-on-with-intuit-shares-tuesday">could be impacted</a> by the new White House administration. The Department of Government Efficiency, led by <strong>Vivek Ramaswamy </strong>and <strong>Elon Musk</strong>, is looking to create a mobile app for Americans to file their taxes. The move, which could see more Americans file their taxes directly, could cut down on dependance for tax software like TurboTax. Intuit shares could fall further as more details of the plan come out.</p>
<p>Intuit stock was down on the week and shares are up 6% year-to-date in 2024.</p>

Benzinga's 'Stock Whisper' Index: 5 Stocks Investors Secretly Monitor But Don't Talk About Yet

<p>In a shortened trading week for the Thanksgiving holiday, President-elect <strong>Donald Trump</strong> sent shockwaves through the markets by announcing plans to impose a 25% tariff on all imports from Mexico and Canada alongside a 10% hike on Chinese goods. These measures, he indicated, aim to pressure these countries to address drug <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/currency-etfs/24/11/42190765/trumps-tariff-threats-slam-mexican-peso-canadian-dollar-only-the-beginning-of-a-sorely-needed-repricing-expert-warns">trafficking and illegal immigration.</a></p>
<p>Currency markets reacted swiftly, with the Mexican peso and Canadian dollar plunging to two-year and four-year lows, respectively, before stabilizing as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/42202496/goldman-sachs-expects-major-selloffs-in-canadian-dollar-mexican-peso-says-trump-tariffs-threaten-usmca-agreement">investors reassessed the risks.</a></p>
<p>The escalating trade tensions took a toll <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42219612/usmexico-trade-tensions-escalate-as-mexican-peso-hits-august-2022-lows-why-is-auto-industry-most-at-risk">on U.S. automaker stocks,</a> particularly <strong>General Motors Company</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>), which relies heavily on Mexican production. GM shares tumbled nearly 5% on the week, snapping a three-week winning streak.</p>
<p>Despite the looming risks of a new trade war, broader equity markets remained resilient. The S&amp;P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average both extended their record highs, reflecting investor appetite in a historical positive season for stocks.</p>
<p>Small-cap stocks, tracked by the Russell 2000 via the <strong>iShares Russell 2000 ETF</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>), also surged, hitting fresh all-time highs on Monday and surpassing their previous<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42176317/exclusive-small-caps-hit-records-yet-russell-2000-is-still-very-discounted-relative-to-the-sp-500-expert-says"> peak from November 2021.</a></p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Tariffs Hit Automakers</h3>
<p>S&amp;P Global estimates that tariffs on Mexico and Canada could slash U.S. automakers' profit margins by as much as 17% in a worst-case scenario. General Motors and Stellantis are expected to be the hardest hit given heavy reliance <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/42247850/gm-other-us-automakers-brace-for-sharp-profit-squeeze-from-trump-tariffs-analysts">on Mexican auto exports.</a></p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Seasonal Stock Rally</h3>
<p>The&nbsp;stock market often excels during the holiday season. Data shows the S&amp;P 500 historically rises 1.5% in December, with November delivering a 1.2% gain on average since 1950. Analysts attribute this to strong retail spending, end-of-year portfolio adjustments and positive sentiment, making it a historically <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42170135/its-the-most-wonderful-time-of-the-year-for-the-stock-market-history-says">favorable period for investors.</a></p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Mortgage Rates Reality</h3>
<p>Compass CEO <strong>Robert Reffkin</strong> indicated that homebuyers are adjusting to the reality of 7% mortgage rates. As affordability pressures ease and inventory remains tight, he expects demand to stabilize. The normalization process could help the mortgage market regain momentum despite challenges posed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/11/42235592/we-cant-go-much-lower-compass-ceo-says-home-buyers-are-coming-around-to-accepting-7-mortgage-rates">by elevated borrowing costs.</a></p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Fed's Disinflation Confidence</h3>
<p>The Federal Reserve&#8217;s November meeting minutes reveal officials&#8217; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/42198763/fed-minutes-reveal-confidence-in-inflation-reduction-yet-flag-divergent-views-on-interest-rate-path-ahead">confidence in declining inflation.</a> Markets anticipate a greater likelihood of a 0.25% interest rate cut next month.</p>
