Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) is on the verge of reaching a new all-time high, according to a prominent crypto analyst. The analyst suggests that Bitcoin must break through a significant resistance level to achieve this milestone.
What Happened: Bitcoin could reach a new peak if it surpasses the $64,000 resistance level.
Inmortal, a well-known trader, shared with his 216,300 followers on X that Bitcoin&#8217;s recent decline from around $66,000 to $60,000 might be forming a local bottom. He is considering going long on BTC if it demonstrates a swing failure pattern near $60,000 or gains acceptance above $63,000.
"Breakout above $64,000 = New ATH."

Meanwhile, another analyst, Kaleo, predicts a short-term dip to approximately $57,000 or $58,000 before a rebound. He expects Bitcoin to rise gradually over the next month, especially after the presidential election, advising traders to accumulate during this period.
"Bitcoin. Still looking like a quick little chop to $57,000 or $58,000, followed by a grind higher the rest of the month into a full send post election."

This aligns with the current bullish sentiment, despite some bearish low-timeframe actions.

This perspective reinforces the notion that Bitcoin&#8217;s price movements are more influenced by financial market dynamics than geopolitical events.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $62,120, showing a 1.5% increase over the past 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Bitcoin Could Hit New All-Time High If It Breaks Above This Resistance Level, Says Analyst

Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, has stated that the future of human exploration on Mars is contingent on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">re-election of former President</a> Donald Trump and the reduction of what he calls &#8220;smothering regulations."
What Happened: Musk, who has thrown his weight behind Trump, endorsed him yet again in the backdrop of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41018400/spacex-hits-back-at-faa-chief-for-pinning-starship-delays-on-safety-concerns-every-statement-he-made">SpaceX's struggles</a> with the Federal Aviation Administration, or FAA.
&#8220;Unless Trump wins and we get rid of the mountain of smothering regulations (that have nothing to do with safety!), humanity will never reach Mars. This is existential.&#8221;

This comes amid escalating tensions between SpaceX and FAA, with Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41041586/spacex-ceo-elon-musk-calls-for-resignation-of-faa-administrator-mike-whitaker">recently calling for the resignation</a> of FAA chief Mike Whitaker.
Musk&#8217;s company has criticized Whitaker for his defense of delays in SpaceX&#8217;s Starship launch vehicle, claiming that &#8220;every statement he made was incorrect.&#8221;
Why It Matters: The relationship between SpaceX and the FAA has been strained, with Musk accusing the FAA of favoritism towards Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) and proposing a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40912464/elon-musk-accuses-faa-of-fining-spacex-over-nonsense-that-doesnt-affect-safety-amazingly-no-star">$633,009 fine on SpaceX</a> for regulatory violations.
Whitaker has defended the FAA&#8217;s actions, citing safety concerns and regulatory compliance as reasons for the delay in SpaceX&#8217;s Starship launch. He also stated that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41016988/spacex-in-violation-of-texas-federal-law-on-some-matters-says-faa-agency-hits-back-at-elon-musks-roc">SpaceX did not adhere</a> to permitting and licensing requirements, which Musk criticized as obstructive.
These ongoing disputes have led Musk to argue that the future of space exploration depends on a political climate that favors deregulation. His recent tweet suggests that he sees a Trump victory as a necessary condition for this to happen.

Elon Musk Says 'Humanity Will Never Reach Mars' Unless Trump Wins: 'This Is Existential'

Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers has expressed disapproval of the Federal Reserve&#8217;s decision to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/09/40926026/federal-reserve-delivers-bold-0-5-rate-cut-signals-further-easing-ahead">cut interest rates last month</a>, terming it a misstep in the face of the latest US job growth data.
What Happened: On Friday, Summers took to X, formerly Twitter, and voiced his disagreement with the Federal Reserve&#8217;s decision to slash interest rates by 50 basis points in September.
He labeled this action as a &#8220;mistake,&#8221; particularly in light of the recent data that shows <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/previews/24/10/41170128/jobs-report-preview-could-september-labor-data-shift-feds-interest-rate-path">U.S. job growth</a> exceeding all predictions.
&#8220;Today&#8217;s employment report confirms suspicions that we are in a high neutral rate environment where responsible monetary policy requires caution in rate cutting,&#8221; he said.

Joseph Brusuelas, principal and chief economist at RSM US LLP, highlighted the strong wage increases and dismissed recession concerns, pointing instead to a &#8220;mid-cycle economic expansion.&#8221;
Aditya Bhave, U.S. economist at BofA Securities, adjusted his November forecast to smaller rate cuts (25 basis points) due to the robust economic data.
Bhave predicted a terminal rate of 3.0%-3.25%, with the potential for it to rise further, given the unexpectedly strong productivity growth.
Before the September rate cut, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell had stated that future interest rate cuts would hinge on economic data.

Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers Slams Fed's September Rate Cut Saying It Was A Mistake: 'Today's Employment Report Confirms Suspicions That...'

Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg took aim at Elon Musk on Friday over allegations that federal authorities hindered flights delivering aid to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/hurricane-helene">Hurricane Helene</a> victims.
What Happened: Musk posted a screenshot implying that airspace was &#8220;shut down&#8221; and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was &#8220;throttling flights.&#8221;
Musk voiced his frustration, stating, &#8220;The level of belligerent government incompetence is staggering!!&#8221;

In response, Buttigieg refuted these claims, asserting that the FAA does not obstruct legitimate rescue and recovery flights. He extended an invitation to Musk to discuss any issues directly, saying, &#8220;If you're encountering a problem give me a call.&#8221;
Following their public exchange, Musk expressed gratitude for a private conversation with Buttigieg, indicating a desire to resolve the matter. &#8220;Thanks for the call. Hopefully, we can resolve this soon,&#8221; Musk wrote, though the details of their discussion remain undisclosed.

Why It Matters: The backdrop of this exchange is the ongoing recovery efforts following Hurricane Helene, which has significantly impacted the region.

Pete Buttigieg And Elon Musk Clash Over Hurricane Aid Flight Claims

The White House has refuted Republican claims of Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funds mismanagement following Hurricane Helene.
What Happened: On Friday, Andrew Bates, the senior deputy press secretary, issued a memo accusing Republicans of propagating &#8220;bald-faced lies&#8221; about the post-Hurricane Helene cleanup efforts, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/4916014-federal-response-criticized/">reported</a> The Hill.
Republicans, including former President Donald Trump, have claimed&nbsp;that disaster relief funding was&nbsp;spent on migrants, criticizing the administration&#8217;s hurricane response.
Bates denied these allegations, saying, &#8220;No disaster relief funding at all was used to support migrants housing and services. None. At. All.&#8221;
See Also:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41156066/elon-musk-cant-contain-his-joy-after-california-deepfakes-law-supported-by-gavin-newsom-blocked-by-c?itm_source=parsely-api" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Elon Musk Can&#8217;t Contain His Joy After California Deepfakes Law Supported By Gavin Newsom Blocked By Court: &#8216;Yay!&#8217;</a>
He stated that Congress appropriates the funding for migrant support to Customs &amp; Border Protection, and FEMA merely administers it.
Bates also noted&nbsp;that FEMA has already provided&nbsp;over&nbsp;$45 million in direct financial&nbsp;assistance to individuals and families&nbsp;affected by the storm. He cautioned against the potential harm of spreading false information, especially&nbsp;when people are in need.
On the same day, FEMA also released a fact-checking page, confirming that &#8220;no money has been diverted&#8221; and that it has sufficient funds&nbsp;for immediate response and recovery&nbsp;needs.
Why It Matters: Hurricane Helene, which hit on Sept. 26, caused significant damage and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41126631/hurricane-helene-devastation-the-latest-on-damage-companies-affected">left nearly 800,000 people</a> without power. The storm claimed more than 130 lives and caused widespread power outages, affecting over two million customers of Duke Energy Corp.
As a result of the hurricane, there was a surge in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41145534/hurricane-helene-adds-to-most-active-quarter-for-power-outages-driving-back-up-gene">demand for backup and portable</a> power generators.
President Joe Biden has urged Congress to reconvene from recess to approve more funding for recovery efforts, though lawmakers aren't scheduled to return until Nov. 12.
His administration has already sent over 4,800 federal personnel to aid in the response, and the president has authorized the deployment of up to 1,000 troops to assist with North Carolina's recovery, the report noted.
Biden visited North Carolina on Wednesday, followed by trips to Florida and Georgia on Thursday to assess the damage and meet with local leaders.
Previously, Republican presidential nominee Trump allegedly took credit for the deployment of Elon Musk-led Starlink satellites to aid communication restoration in areas affected by Hurricane Helene.
However, FEMA contradicted his statement, saying that the decision was already in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41110218/trump-says-he-spoke-with-elon-musk-for-starlink-deployment-to-aid-hurricane-helene-affected-areas-bu">place before Trump's alleged</a> involvement.

White House Counters GOP Accusations Of FEMA Funds Misuse, Denies Disaster Relief Funding Was Used For Migrant Housing: 'Bald-Faced Lies'

Chinese electric vehicle startup Nio Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>) announced late Friday that it has struck a partnership with one of its strategic investors to foray into the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/06/39213251/asia-mena-gaming-markets-reach-85-5b-in-2023-see-future-projections">Middle East and North Africa</a>.
What Happened: Nio has tied up with Abu Dhabi-based CYVN Holdings to launch the Nio MENA in a bid to launch Nio-branded vehicles and vehicles from its subsidiary in the region, the Shanghai-based company said in a statement. This, according to the company, will expand its footprint and integrate further into the &#8220;global smart EV ecosystem.&#8221;
CYVN Holdings will support Nio with strategic investments for the expansion, which will start with UAE.
The company also plans to establish a state-of-the-art R&amp;D center in Abu Dhabi, the capital city of UAE. This center will focus on &#8220;autonomous driving and artificial intelligence advancements, reinforcing NIO's global R&amp;D capabilities and fostering technological innovation in the MENA region.&#8221;
Nio and CYVN Holdings plan to collaborate on a new EV project that will involve research, manufacturing, and future product launches. The EV startup would also work with its partners in Egypt to expand EV manufacturing in the country.
In <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/23/12/36281426/nio-stock-up-premarket-after-securing-2-2b-strategic-investment" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">December Nio closed a $2.2 billion equity investment from</a>&nbsp;CYVN Investments RSC Ltd.
 Jassem Mohamed Obaid Bu Ataba Alzaabi, Chairman of CYVN Holdings, said, &#8220;This partnership is a testament to our mutual commitment to fostering the strength of our strategic collaborations and achieving transformative goals in the smart mobility sector.&#8221;
Nio&#8217;s founder, Chairman and CEO William Li said, &#8220;Our collaboration with CYVN Holdings is a cornerstone in our strategy to enhance global accessibility to smart electric vehicles and to push the boundaries of technological innovation.&#8221;

Why It&#8217;s Important: Nio is a manufacturer of premium EVs and it has recently entered the low-end of the market with its Onvo brand. Deliveries of the first vehicle launched by the sub-brand, codenamed&nbsp;L60, began in late September, and early uptake has been fairly strong.
This week, Nio reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41114350/chinese-ev-trio-nio-xpeng-li-auto-surge-higher-in-tuesdays-premarket-whats-going-on">strong September and record third-quarter deliveries</a> despite the tough domestic EV market conditions marked by lackluster demand and cutthroat competition. 
In late-September, the company said a trio of domestic strategic investors agreed to invest an aggregate of 3.3 billion yuan ($470.64 million) in cash in its subsidiary Nio China. Nio on its part said it would invest 10 billion yuan (about $1.43 billion) in cash to subscribe to the newly issued shares of Nio China.&nbsp;The latest investments would infuse the much-needed financing to pursue it expansion both in China and overseas. 
Nio&#8217;s prospects in China also appear bright, given China has decided to copiously stimulate the domestic economy, potentially arming consumers with the much-needed cash to splurge.
The company currently sells EVs in European countries such as Norway, Sweden, Germany, and the Netherlands. The MENA partnership comes as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41182675/tesla-byd-and-other-ev-stocks-to-watch-as-eu-votes-to-approve-tariffs-on-chinese-ev-imports">European Commission has voted in favor of up to 45% tariffs on imported Chinese EVs.</a>
Price Action: Nio ended Friday&#8217;s session up 1.04% at $6.77, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro data.</a>

Tesla Rival Nio Accelerates Global Expansion, To Launch EVs in Middle East Amid EU Tariff Concerns

Democratic Presidential nominee Kamala Harris has reportedly engaged with Arab American and Muslim leaders in Flint, Michigan, amid rising tensions over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39562547/us-has-sent-thousands-of-hellfire-missiles-and-2-000-pound-bombs-to-israel-amid-ongoing-war-with-ham">U.S. support for Israel&#8217;s conflicts</a> in Gaza and Lebanon.
What Happened: On Friday, Harris met with representatives from Emgage Action,&nbsp;the American Task Force on&nbsp;Lebanon, and long-time associate Hala Hijazi, reported Reuters, citing two sources.
The meeting is part of a broader effort to reconnect&nbsp;with Muslim and Arab voters,&nbsp;who were instrumental in securing a Democrat win in 2020 but may reconsider their support for Harris in the next election.
Harris addressed the upcoming election and the ongoing Middle East conflicts&nbsp;during the meeting.
She expressed&nbsp;concern over the&nbsp;suffering in Gaza, civilian casualties, and displacement in Lebanon,&nbsp;and discussed efforts to end&nbsp;the war and prevent a regional conflict, the report noted.

Wa&#8217;el Alzayat, CEO of Emgage&nbsp;Action, said they &#8220;asked Vice President Harris to impress upon President Biden the urgency of bringing an immediate end to the violence&#8221; in Gaza and Lebanon.
However, some Arab Americans believe Harris&#8217; reluctance&nbsp;to distance herself from President&nbsp;Biden&#8217;s Middle East policies could cost her in the upcoming election.
A recent poll&nbsp;by the Arab American Institute&nbsp;found Harris and Trump at&nbsp;roughly even levels of support&nbsp;among Arab Americans.
Why It Matters: The meeting comes amidst a backdrop of escalating tensions in the Middle East.
Last month, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40920151/china-slams-us-for-shielding-israel-blocking-gaza-ceasefire-efforts-as-war-nears-1-year">China accused the U.S.</a> of shielding Israel and obstructing ceasefire efforts in the Gaza conflict. &#8220;Had the US not shielded one side time and again, multiple resolutions of this council would not have been flagrantly rejected and defied.&#8221;
Later that month,&nbsp;senior U.S. officials <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40955425/top-us-officials-skeptical-of-israel-hamas-cease-fire-and-hostage-deal-before-bidens-term-ends-repor">expressed skepticism about a ceasefire</a> and hostage-release deal between Israel and Hamas.
Meanwhile, Israel continued its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/09/41056542/israel-plans-to-disrupt-arms-delivery-from-iran-to-lebanon-in-motion-as-palestinian-president-cr">military operations in Lebanon and Gaza</a>.
Earlier in the year, Harris had urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to help establish a Gaza ceasefire, a move that was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40417063/trump-says-he-encouraged-netanyahu-to-end-gaza-war-while-critizing-kamala-harris-for-demanding-cease">later criticized by</a> Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
&#8220;I will give Israel the support that it needs to win but I do want them to win fast,&#8221; Trump reportedly said in August.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Tesla Stock In The Last 10 Years

The phrase "the one percent" gets tossed around a lot in conversations about wealth and inequality, whether in politics, protests, or everyday chats. But what does it mean to be in the top 1%? Let's break it down by income and net worth to get a clearer picture of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40711869/how-rich-are-you-heres-the-net-worth-that-defines-upper-middle-and-lower-class">who's part of this exclusive group.</a>

</ul>
What Income Puts You in the Top 1%?
To be in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/39652328/your-income-might-be-upper-class-and-you-dont-know-it-heres-the-salary-needed-to-reach-elite-sta">top 1% of earners</a> in the U.S., a household must bring in at least $591,550 a year. For a single individual, the cutoff is $407,500. Remember, these numbers are averages and can vary depending on where you live. For example, earning that much in New York City might not stretch as far as it does in other parts of the country.
The Top 1% by Net Worth
When it comes to net worth, the threshold is even higher. To be part of the top 1% in the U.S., a household's net worth needs to be at least $13.6 million. This measure includes everything you own – homes, investments, savings – minus debts.
Wealth tends to be a lot more unevenly distributed than income. Many households have little to no net worth, while the top tier sits on massive wealth. That's why net worth often gives a clearer picture of someone's financial status than income alone.
Trending: Beating the market through ethical real estate investing' — t<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/invest-with-roots">his platform aims to give tenants equity in the homes they live in while scoring 17.17% average annual returns for investors – here&#8217;s how to join with just $100</a>
Income vs. Net Worth: Which Tells the Real Story?
So, which is more important, income or net worth? It depends on what you're trying to measure. Income is great for understanding how much someone earns in a year, but net worth is the better gauge for long-term financial stability and overall wealth. Someone with a high income might not have a high net worth if they spend a lot or have significant debt, while someone with a lower income but solid investments could be much wealthier.
How Many People Are in the 1%?
As of the latest numbers, there are around 1.3 million households and about 1.8 million individual workers who fall into the top 1% in the U.S. That's a small slice of the population but represents a significant share of the country's wealth and income.
Trending: Commercial real estate has historically outperformed the stock market, and<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/marcus-millichap-backed-platform-makes-it-easy-to-invest-in-real-estate"> this platform allows individuals to invest in commercial real estate with as little as $5,000 offering a 12% target yield with a bonus 1% return boost today!</a>
State-by-State Variations
The income required to be in the top 1% varies significantly across states. For example:
<ul>
<li>Connecticut has the highest threshold at $952,902</li>
<li>Massachusetts follows at $903,401</li>
<li>California comes in third at $844,266</li>
<li>On the lower end, Mississippi has a threshold of just $254,362</li>

Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) today experienced a Power Inflow, a significant event for those who follow where smart money goes and value order flow analytics in their trading decisions.&nbsp;
Today, at 10:37AM on October 4th, a significant trading signal occurred for Meta Platforms Inc. as it demonstrated a Power Inflow at a price of $582.40. This indicator is crucial for traders who want to know directionally where institutions and so-called "smart money" moves in the market. They see the value of utilizing order flow analytics to guide their trading decisions. The Power Inflow points to a possible uptrend in Meta&#8217;s stock, marking a potential entry point for traders looking to capitalize on the expected upward movement. Traders with this signal closely watch for sustained momentum in Meta&#8217;s stock price, interpreting this event as a bullish sign.
Signal description
Order flow analytics, aka transaction or market flow analysis, separate and study both the retail and institutional volume rate of orders (flow). It involves analyzing the flow of buy and sell orders, along with size, timing, and other associated characteristics and patterns, to gain insights and make more informed trading decisions. This particular indicator is interpreted as a bullish signal by active traders.&nbsp;
The Power Inflow occurs within the first two hours of the market open and generally signals the trend that helps gauge the stock&#8217;s overall direction, powered by institutional activity in the stock, for the remainder of the day.&nbsp;
By incorporating order flow analytics into their trading strategies, market participants can better interpret market conditions, identify trading opportunities, and potentially improve their trading performance. But let's not forget that while watching smart money flow can provide valuable insights, it is crucial to incorporate effective risk management strategies to protect capital and mitigate potential losses. Employing a consistent and effective risk management plan helps traders navigate the uncertainties of the market in a more controlled and calculated manner, increasing the likelihood of long-term success

<h2>About Newmont</h2>
Newmont is the world's largest gold miner.

Its portfolio includes 17 wholly or majority owned mines and interests in two joint ventures in the Americas, Africa, Australia and Papua New Guinea. The company is expected to produce roughly 6.9 million ounces of gold in 2024. However, after buying Newcrest, Newmont is likely to sell a number of its higher cost, smaller mines accounting for 20% of forecast sales in 2024. Newmont also produces material amounts of copper, silver, zinc, and lead as byproducts. It had about two decades of gold reserves along with significant byproduct reserves at the end of December 2023.

The Analyst Verdict: American Intl Gr In The Eyes Of 12 Experts

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is holding firm on its stance that medical marijuana users should not allowed to own a gun, citing safety risks.
In a recent filing, federal attorneys argued that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/06/39488414/cannabis-guns-kentucky-2nd-amendment-meet-the-atf-if-you-say-yes-to-medical-marijuana-the-answer">ban on gun ownership</a> for cannabis users is constitutional and should remain in place. 
This aligns with federal regulations barring gun access for individuals considered potentially dangerous, such as those who are mentally ill or under the influence, <a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/doj-says-allowing-a-pennsylvania-prosecutor-who-uses-medical-marijuana-to-possess-a-gun-would-be-dangerous/">reported</a> Marijuana Moment.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Pennsylvania Prosecutor Challenges Federal Gun Ban</h3>
This filing responds to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/01/36750779/guns-and-weed-conflict-heats-up-pennsylvania-da-sues-feds-over-firearms-ban-for-medical-marijuan">a lawsuit</a> by Robert Greene, the District Attorney of Warren County, Pennsylvania, who is a registered medical marijuana patient. Along with the Second Amendment Foundation, Greene filed suit against the DOJ, Attorney General Merrick Garland and other federal agencies, arguing that the ban infringes on his right to bear arms for self-defense.
The DOJ&#8217;s filing, submitted to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, seeks to dismiss Greene&#8217;s suit. 
"Marijuana's physical and mental effects impair a person's judgment, including judgment about whether to use firearms," it says.
The next step for Robert Greene's case involves a federal court decision on his request for a preliminary injunction.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Contradictory Ruling In Texas Gun &amp; Cannabis Rights Case</h3>
Greene's case is not the only legal battle on this issue. In a separate case, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that cannabis users cannot be barred from owning firearms.
The ruling arose from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40655441/cannabis-users-cannot-be-barred-from-gun-ownership-u-s-appeals-court-rules">the case</a> of Paola Connelly, a Texas resident whose right to bear arms was upheld despite her past marijuana use. "Marijuana user or not, Paola is a member of our political community and thus has a presumptive right to bear arms," U.S. Circuit Judge Kurt Engelhardt ruled.
The decision is significant because it aligns with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/08/33719970/federal-court-strikes-down-gun-prohibition-for-cannabis-users-as-unconstitutional">a 2022 Supreme Court</a> decision stating that firearm laws should reflect historical gun ownership traditions.
While the DOJ has not commented on this ruling, it raises questions about how the federal government will address gun ownership rights among the millions of legal cannabis users nationwide.

出来事：超一流の世界的スターであるビヨンセは、最近、ハリス氏が<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">2024年の大統領選挙で彼女の曲「フリーダム」の使用を承認した。</a>
報告によると、歌手は自身の曲全てがハリス氏によって使用されることも承認した。ビヨンセの曲がハリス氏によって使用されることは、ビヨンセがハリス氏に対して公然と支持し、大寄付をする可能性があるということを示唆している。
これに対し、トランプ大統領はアーティストやレコード会社の許可が得られていない曲を使用している。
「本日、セリーヌ・ディオンのマネジメントチームと、トランプ大統領/ジェイD・バンス上院議員のキャンペーン集会でセリーヌ・ディオンが『マイ・ハート・ウィル・ゴー・オン』を歌った映像、録音、演奏、肖像権の無断使用について、セリーヌ・ディオンとソニーミュージックエンターテインメントカナダ社が知らされました」と、セリーヌ・ディオン氏は<a href="https://x.com/celinedion/status/1822347994223587506">ツイッター上で発表した。</a>
セリーヌ・ディオンは、この曲の使用が無許可であると述べた。
「セリーヌ・ディオンは、トランプ大統領のキャンペーンのためのこのような使用に賛同していない」
（株）ソニーミュージックエンターテインメントカナダは、父をあらゆる同様の業務を行うことを承認していません。
なお、この映画のテーマ曲であるとされる点にも疑問がある。
「それにしても、『タイタニック』のテーマソングって？」
『タイタニック』とは、氷山に衝突して沈没したとされる、太平洋に沈んだ船の悲劇を描いた1997年の大ヒット映画である。
この曲を愛の歌とする人もいるかもしれないが、この曲の歌詞はむしろ愛する人なしで生きるということを歌っており、これは大統領がホワイトハウスを取り戻そうとする集会で流すべき元気づけの曲とは言えないだろう。
興味深いニュース
<ul>
<li>議会が巨額の投資を実施。 2024年大統領選挙を前に、彼らが購入また売却したものを簡単なツールで取得する</li>
</ul>
なぜ重要か：セリーヌ・ディオンとソニーは、この曲の無許可使用についてコメントを出しているが、音楽家<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/gov-trades/?utm_source=BZprocontent081224">アイザック・ヘイズ</a>氏の家族は、自分たちの状況について一歩前進しました。
ヘイズ氏の家族は、トランプ大統領がキャンペーンイベントで「ホールド・オン・アイム・カミング」を無許可で使用したため、300万ドルの賠償を要求している。
ヘイズ氏の家族によれば、この曲は2022年から2024年まで、134回の著作権侵害がされていたという。 その上、ヘイズ氏の家族は、トランプ大統領に対し、この曲の使用の停止を要求した。
ヘイズ氏の家族は、この曲を使用した動画を削除し、トランプ大統領に対して、家族はこの曲の使用を許可していないとの声明を発表するよう要求した。
トランプ大統領の選挙運動が要求を満たさない場合、ヘイズ氏の家族は「知的財産権の侵害を執行するために必要な法的措置をすべて講じる」と述べた。
ヘイズ氏の息子である<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/gov-trades/?utm_source=BZprocontent081224">アイザック・ヘイズIII氏は、こう述べている。「ドナルド・トランプは、父の音楽を無断で使用し続けるだけでなく、女性への性的虐待の歴史と彼の人種差別的な言動を通じて、品位とユビキリを体現している。 このような行動はこれ以上許されないだろう。私たちはこのような行動を終わらせるために、迅速に行動を起こします」とヘイズ氏IIIがツイートしている。</a>
政治イベントでの音楽の使用は、近年熱い話題になっている。バンドのJourneyは以前、トランプが「ドント・ストップ・ビリーヴィン」を使用したことについて<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/22/12/30182178/dont-stop-believin-these-bandmates-are-fighting-over-support-for-donald-trump">内部で議論を行っていた</a>。 オリンピック村のユースホステルでのイベントやコンサートなど、トランプの過去のキャンペーンイベントでの音楽の使用を嫌ったThe Village People、John Fogerty、Linkin Park、Elton John、The Rolling Stones、およびR.E.M。などの多くのアーティストが、彼に法的措置を取ることを脅迫したり、彼が自分たちの音楽を使用することを却下したりしている。

米スタートアップ、中国からの出資を敬遠

木曜日、マイクロソフト（NASDAQ:MSFT）のCEOであるサティア・ナデラ氏は同社の記録的なゲームパフォーマンスについて発表し、任天堂株式会社（OTC:NTDOY）のSwitchとソニーグループ株式会社（NYSE: SONY）のPlayStationへの展開を発表しました。
ナデラ氏が3月に行われた<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/04/38444199/microsoft-q3-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-new-era-of-ai-transformation-and-more">第3四半期決算電話会議中</a>、マイクロソフトはゲームのストリーミング時間、コンソールの使用率、そして月間アクティブデバイス数の新たな記録を打ち立てたことを明らかにしました。
CEOはまた、Diablo 4（Activision Blizzardの最初のタイトル）をサービスに追加したことも強調しました。「最初の10日間で登録者が1,000万時間以上プレイし、その結果、これまでの中で最も成功したゲームパスのサービスの一つとなりました」とナデラ氏は語りました。
「Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3」の成功についても語っており、ゲームは新しいゲーマーを引きつけるとともに、フランチャイズの熱烈なファンを維持していると述べています。
Nadella氏はまた、マイクロソフトが新たなプラットフォームにゲームを展開していることも明らかにしました。「最後に、私たちは新しいプラットフォームにゲームを展開し、ファンの多い4つのタイトルを今回初めて、任天堂スイッチとソニープレイステーションにもたらします。実際、今月初めには私たちのゲームがプレイステーションストアのトップ25のうち7つにランクインしました。これは他のどのパブリッシャーよりも多い数です」と彼は述べています。
株式
マイクロソフトのゲーム部門は同社の総合的な成長の重要な要素となっています。同社の第3四半期の売上は、前年同期比17％増の619億ドルとなり、市場予想額の608.04億ドルを上回りました。 <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/gxjhpowx7zks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>によると、マイクロソフトは5四半期連続で売り上げ、純利益の両面でアナリストの予想を上回ったとのことです。
同社はこの四半期、1株あたり2.94ドルの利益を計上し、予想額2.82ドルを上回りました。
この成功は、マイクロソフトがActivision Blizzardを買収した直後にもたらされました。ナデラ氏は以前、この買収の際に、ソニーや任天堂のような競合ゲームハードに向けて「良いパブリッシャーになる」と述べ、この買収に大きな期待を寄せていました。
マイクロソフトがActivision Blizzardを買収してから6か月が経った今月初め、<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/04/38342845/can-blizzard-keep-its-autonomy-post-microsoft-acquisition-no-one-asking-us-to-do-anything-says-wor">Blizzardの幹部は、</a>MicrosoftはBlizzardに独立性を大きく保たせていると明らかにしました。
MSFT の株価騰落： 出来事発表時点のアフターマーケット取引で、マイクロソフトの株は4.31％上昇し、1株416.25ドルとなっています（Benzinga Pro調べ）。
