<p><strong>DuPont de Nemours, Inc. </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DD#NYSE">DD</a>) shares traded higher in the premarket on Thursday after the company announced that it would <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/n43015799/dupont-provides-update-on-separation-plans-reaffirms-financial-guidance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">separate its electronics business</a>.</p>
<p>The Wilmington, Delaware-based company expects the transaction to be completed by Nov. 1.</p>
<p>Moreover, DuPont decided not to separate its water business after evaluating strategic alternatives. The company concluded that keeping the water business within the portfolio is the best approach to generate value and will allow DuPont to continue optimizing its portfolio following the electronics separation.</p>
<p>Notably, on May 22, DuPont announced its plan to split into three distinct publicly traded entities, with electronics and water businesses <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38987084/whats-happening-with-chemical-company-duponts-shares-today" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">executed tax-free for shareholders</a>.</p>
<p>DuPont CEO <strong>Lori Koch</strong> expects 2025 to be &#8220;a strong year&#8221; for the water business. </p>
<p><strong>Outlook Reiterated</strong>: DuPont continues to expect net sales of about $3.07 billion and adjusted EPS of roughly 98 cents. Both numbers are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41747460/dupont-q3-earnings-eps-beats-while-sales-lag-revises-annual-outlook-more" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">in line with the consensus</a>.</p>
<p>DuPont also reaffirmed full-year 2024 guidance for adjusted EPS of ~$3.90 versus the $3.91 consensus and revenue of $12.365 billion versus <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">the $13.369 billion consensus</a>.</p>
<p>The company plans to release fourth-quarter<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> results on Feb. 11</a>.</p>
<p>Investors can gain exposure to the stock via <strong>Putnam ETF Trust Putnam BioRevolution ETF </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SYNB#NYSE">SYNB</a>) and <strong>Materials Select Sector SPDR </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLB#NYSE">XLB</a>).</p>
<p><strong>Price Action</strong>: DuPont de Nemours shares are up 2.37% at $78.05 premarket at the last check Thursday.</p>

Leading And Lagging Sectors For December 31, 2024

<p>The year of milestones, 2024, has seen an unperturbed rise in the current bull market, which is nearly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42430296/carson-researchs-50-year-study-suggests-that-the-26-months-old-bull-market-is-far-from-over">26 months</a> old. It is higher by more than 70% from the mid-October 2022 lows. As we wrap up the year with the possibility of a &#8216;Santa Rally,&#8217; let&#8217;s recap 2024&#8217;s landmark junctures.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Major U.S. Benchmarks Scale Fresh Records</strong></h3>
<p>The S&amp;P 500 Index has made 57 new all-time highs this year, hitting the last one on Dec. 6, 2024. Also, &#8220;2024 would go down as the best election year return ever,&#8221; said <strong>Ryan Detrick</strong>, the chief market strategist at Carson Research in a note.</p>
<p>&#8220;Going back 50 years, we found five other bull markets that had lasted at least this long and the shortest any of them lasted was five total years. Think of it like a cruise ship — once it gets moving, it can be quite hard to stop,&#8221; added Detrick</p>
<p>While the S&amp;P 500 index was up 25.96% on a year-to-date basis as of Dec. 23 close, the <strong>SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) rose by 25.82% in the same period.</p>
<p>The Dow Jones Industrial Average index, on the other hand, hit a record eight 1,000-point milestones this year. It started the year around the 37,000 level and breached the 45,000 level at the beginning of December. It took only seven trading days for the index to go from 44,000 to 45,000, the second fastest 1,000-point milestone ever. Following that the index also saw one of its longest 10-day losing streak, the first ever since 1974.</p>
<p>Dow was up 13.77% year-to-date as of the Dec. 23 close, whereas the <strong>SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>) gained 13.74% in the same period.</p>
<p>The Nasdaq 100 index which includes all the &#8216;magnificent seven&#8217; stocks, unlike Dow, rose 29.98% year-to-date as Dec. 23 close. The ETF tracking the index, <strong>Fidelity NASDAQ Composite Index ETF</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ONEQ#NASDAQ">ONEQ</a>) rose by 33.85% in the same period. Whereas, the <strong>Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) rose by 29.88% in 2024.</p>
<p>The smallcap index Russell 2000 was up 11.16% over the year, while <strong>iShares Russell 2000 ETF</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>) was up 10.97% in the same period as of the Dec. 23 close.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">U.S. Market Trumps The World</h3>
<p>Among the developed economies, the S&amp;P 500 remains the best index with a 25.96% gain on a year-to-date basis, outperforming all the other developed market indices.</p>

<p>Among the defensive sectors, utilities emerged as a winner, whereas energy was an underperformer. Consumer staples, energy, and utilities take up 5.7%, 3.4%, and 2.5% weight, respectively in the S&amp;P 500 index.</p>
<p>As per Morgan Stanley, the energy sector faces a divided future. Trump's deregulation could benefit traditional energy, but the outlook for oil is uncertain due to potential oversupply and weak global demand, especially from China. In contrast, natural gas may see growth from strong European demand and increased domestic use for electrification and AI-powered data centers. The clean energy sector could face challenges, if Trump rollbacks Biden's 2022 Inflation Reduction Act tax credits. However, a full repeal seems unlikely due to the benefits for Republican states.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">U.S. Dollar Surges Over 6% In 2024</h3>
<p>The Dollar index was up 6.72% year-to-date with a 52-week range of 100.1570 to 108.5410 per unit. If the Greenback can hold on to these gains, the currency would leave behind the second-best year since 2015.</p>
<p>The UDS&#8217;s demand has been rising due to the &#8220;Uncertainties arising from expected Trump's policies and hawkish comments from the Fed towards rate cycle,&#8221; said <strong>Kunal Sodhani</strong>, vice president of the global trading center at Shinhan Bank.</p>
<p>According to Franklin Templeton, &#8220;The Fed easing cycle will be a dominant factor for the USD. The two main comparisons we draw against the Fed cyclically, interest-rate-wise, are emerging markets, and Japan.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>WisdomTree Bloomberg US Dollar Bullish Fund </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USDU#NYSE">USDU</a>) was up 13.24% on a year-to-date basis, as of Dec. 23 close, where as <strong>Invesco DB US Dollar Index Bullish Fund</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>) advanced by 7.21% in the same period.</p>

Leading And Lagging Sectors For December 23, 2024

<p>Risk sentiment returned to Wall Street on Friday, revitalized by softer-than-expected November inflation data leading to a strong market rebound following the selloff triggered by the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42615908/feds-preferred-inflation-gauge-falls-more-than-expected-markets-breathe-sigh-of-relief">Federal Reserve&#8217;s recent meeting.</a></p>
<p>The Personal Consumption Expenditure price index rose 2.4% year-over-year in November, falling short of the 2.5% increase forecasted. The core PCE, a key gauge closely watched by the Fed, also missed expectations, rising 2.8% compared to the anticipated 2.9%.</p>
<p>By midday Friday, all major indices were in rally mode, with broad-based gains across sectors. In the S&amp;P 500, 480 companies traded higher, and every sector advanced as investors welcomed the reprieve in inflationary pressures.</p>
<p>The real estate sector led the charge, rebounding sharply after being hit hardest in the aftermath of the Fed meeting. Small-cap stocks in the Russell 2000 also posted robust gains, powered by a strong recovery in regional banks.</p>
<p>The travel industry soared, driven by upbeat earnings and optimistic guidance from <strong>Carnival Corp.</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCL#NYSE">CCL</a>), which fueled enthusiasm across the sector. The cruise line rose by 6%, eyeing the highest close since October 2021. </p>
<p>In the bond market, yields dropped by approximately 5 basis points across the curve, boosting Treasury prices. The <strong>iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) gained nearly 1%, recovering some ground after a 3% slide over the previous two sessions. The dollar softened, declining 0.6%, while gold gained over 1%. </p>
<p><strong>Bitcoin</strong> (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) attracted dip buyers after plunging to $92,118. Although the cryptocurrency pared its daily losses, it remains on track for its worst weekly performance in four months.</p>

Leading And Lagging Sectors For December 20, 2024

<p>The day after a volatile Federal Reserve meeting, Wall Street grappled with the stark reality of Fed Chair <strong><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/jerome-powell">Jerome Powell</a></strong>&#8216;s cautious tone on cutting interest rates in 2024. The message left investors weighing the impact of higher-for-longer interest rates amid<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42585715/us-gdp-upwardly-revised-to-31-in-q3-jobless-claims-drop-more-than-expected-treasury-yields-hit-7-month-highs"> a still-resilient economy.</a></p>
<p>Despite the hawkish undertones, stocks managed to stabilize, with major indices posting modest gains as dip-buyers emerged.</p>
<p>The S&amp;P 500 rose 0.5%, recovering from a steep 3% selloff on Wednesday—its worst one-day drop since September 2022. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.4%, attempting to break a staggering 10-day losing streak, its longest since 1974, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 edged 0.3% higher. </p>
<p>While equities regained some ground, market conviction remains tepid as investors brace for Friday's release of the November inflation report, a critical data point for the Federal Reserve&#8217;s future policy decisions. The report could either reaffirm the Fed's hawkish stance or inject hope for an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42598354/wall-street-pins-hopes-on-fridays-crucial-fed-inflation-report-yet-a-miracle-is-needed-to-shift-the-narrative">lower-than-expected data.</a></p>
<p>Thursday's economic data continued to underscore the resilience of the U.S. economy. Third-quarter GDP growth was upwardly revised from 2.8% to 3.1%, amid strong consumer spending. Weekly jobless claims fell to 220,000 last week, below forecasts of 230,000, signaling a still-tight labor market.</p>
<p>The bond market extended its selloff, with longer-dated Treasuries taking the biggest hit. <span >Fixed-income investors remain under pressure, exacerbated by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42594797/trump-wants-to-get-rid-of-the-debt-ceiling-30-year-treasury-bonds-fall-to-2024-lows-stocks-cut-gains">recent comments from<strong> Donald Trump</strong>,</a> who floated the idea of eliminating the U.S. debt ceiling entirely—a development that could upend Treasury market dynamics.</span></p>
<p>In currency markets, the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) rose 0.2%, hitting its highest level since November 2022, supported by robust economic data.</p>
<p><strong>Bitcoin</strong> (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) remained flat at $100,000, following Wednesday&#8217;s 5.6% plunge.</p>

Dow Partners With Macquarie In Gulf Coast Infrastructure Play, Retains Strategic Control

<p>The <strong>S&amp;P 500</strong> and the <strong>Nasdaq 100</strong> are set to log their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">third consecutive week of gains</a>. </p>
<p>The Nasdaq 100, in particular, is tracking its strongest weekly performance in a month, underscoring investor enthusiasm for tech stocks and the growing likelihood <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates">of lower interest rates.</a></p>
<p>Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is on course to finish the week in negative territory, highlighting a divergence in performance among major U.S. indices.</p>
<p>Shares of <strong>Meta Platforms Inc. </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) surged 3% on Wednesday, extending their weekly gain to over 9%, marking the stock's best week since late January. The rally followed a U.S. appeals court decision upholding the Jan. 19 deadline for TikTok's parent company, <strong>ByteDance</strong>, to divest the app over national security and data privacy concerns. TikTok's appeal was rejected, leaving the U.S. Supreme Court as its final recourse.</p>
<p>The consumer discretionary sector emerged as Friday's best performer, fueled by further gains in <strong>Amazon.com Inc. </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and <strong>Tesla Inc. </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a><strong>)</strong>.</p>
<p>In macro news, November nonfarm payrolls rose by 227,000, beating consensus estimates, while the unemployment rate edged higher to 4.2%, as expected. Wage growth slightly outpaced forecasts, signaling <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42363278/us-economy-adds-227000-jobs-in-november-wage-growth-accelerates">resilience in the labor market.</a></p>
<p>Meanwhile, the University of Michigan&#8217;s consumer sentiment index climbed to its most optimistic level since April but hinted at growing concerns about near-term inflation, reflecting a mixed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/24/12/42366245/consumer-sentiment-hits-7-month-high-but-inflation-fears-divide-democrats-republicans">sentiment among U.S. consumers.</a></p>
<p>The U.S. dollar gained traction, with the dollar index rising 0.3% despite market participants raised expectations of an interest rate cut at the Federal Reserve's Dec. 18 meeting. Treasury yields eased, reflecting bolstered expectations of policy easing.</p>
<p>Chicago Fed President <strong>Austan Goolsbee</strong> hinted at upcoming Federal Reserve meetings being "close calls" between cutting rates or holding steady, keeping traders on edge.</p>
<p>Commodities saw muted moves on Friday. Gold prices were flat, consolidating near recent levels, while crude oil slid 1.2%. </p>
<p>The cryptocurrency market lit up on Friday, driven by significant gains in major digital assets. <strong>Bitcoin </strong>(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), for example, surged over 4%, breaching the $101,500 level at last check Friday. </p>
<p><strong>Ethereum </strong>(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) rallied 6%, reflecting robust investor appetite across the sector.</p>
