Stock indexes rise with tech shares;  gold extends recent rally amid US rate cut hopes

by Inkhabar webdesk
written by Inkhabar webdesk

By Caroline Valetkevitch NEW YORK (Reuters) -Major stock indexes rose on Wednesday as technology shares gained, while gold extended its recent rally above $4,000 an ounce as a prolonged U.S. government shutdown and expectations of further U.S. interest rate cuts drove demand for the safe-haven asset. Gold, which is traditionally seen as a store of value during times of instability, is up about 50% year-to-date, after gaining 27% in 2024. Spot gold was up 1.7% at $4,050.24 per ounce, while U.S. gold futures GCv1 for December delivery also settled 1.7% higher at $4,070.5. Silver also climbed to a record high. Shares of gold miners also rose, including U.S.-listed shares of Gold Fields, up 3.4%. The Japanese yen reached its weakest level since mid-February against the dollar as investors worried about an increase in fiscal spending in Japan, while the euro eased on ongoing political uncertainty in France. On Wall Street, stocks rebounded from Tuesday's declines, with technology shares leading the way higher. Nvidia shares were up 1.9%. "It's rebounding nicely, led by Nvidia and AI-related stocks. It comes down to investors have been optimistic since April, and that optimism continues to be expressed in spite of a government shutdown, a slowing employment market or any other red flags that would normally detract investors," said Oliver Pursche, senior vice president and advisor for Wealthspire Advisors in Westport, Connecticut. Investors have been without most U.S. economic data as the federal government remains shut. Minutes released Wednesday from the last Federal Reserve meeting showed a divided committee, in which policymakers were concerned about rising labor market risks but remained wary of inflation. The central bank is widely expected to cut rates by 25 basis points at its October 28-29 meeting, according to the CME Group’s FedWatch Tool. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 16.77 points, or 0.04%, to 46,619.98, the S&P 500 rose 31.71 points, or 0.47%, to 6,746.46 and the Nasdaq Composite rose 197.28 points, or 0.87%, to 22,985.65. MSCI's gauge of stocks across the globe rose 2.84 points, or 0.29%, to 994.97. European shares climbed to record highs, powered by strong gains in French and Spanish stocks. The pan-European STOXX 600 was up 0.8%, closing at its highest level, while French stocks jumped 1.1% and Spanish stocks touched their highest mark since 2007. In France, caretaker Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu said that he saw a path to forming a new government but that the "final stretch" would be difficult, adding that it was possible France could have a new premier in the next 48 hours. Lecornu, France's fifth prime minister in two years, tendered his and his government's resignation on Monday. The euro was off its earlier lows and last down 0.27% at $1.1623. In Japan, the surprise election of Sanae Takaichi to lead the country's ruling Liberal Democratic Party on Saturday has dented the yen on expectations of greater government stimulus. Against the Japanese yen, the dollar strengthened 0.49% to 152.64. It earlier reached 152.99, the highest since February 14. The yield on benchmark U.S. 10-year notes was flat at 4.127%, from 4.127% late on Tuesday. Oil prices rose. Traders expected a lack of progress on a Ukraine peace deal to keep sanctions in place against Moscow. U.S. crude rose 82 cents to settle at $62.55 a barrel and Brent gained 80 cents to settle at $66.25.

Amazon Pharmacy to launch electronic kiosks for prescriptions at One Medical locations

by Inkhabar webdesk
written by Inkhabar webdesk

By Amina Niasse NEW YORK (Reuters) -Amazon said on Wednesday its pharmacy business in December will begin filling some prescriptions for common medications at electronic kiosks in its One Medical primary care locations, which the company says will reduce barriers to access and limit shipping costs. Amazon plans to start the offer with One Medical patients in Los Angeles for drugs including antibiotics, asthma inhalers and treatments for high blood pressure, the company said. The kiosks will be the first in-person pick-up service offered by Amazon Pharmacy, which has been providing prescription services primarily by delivery, said Hannah McClellan Richards, a vice president at Amazon Pharmacy. One Medical offers a membership structure that allows patients to access primary and urgent care at a subscription fee of $199 annually. Patients without a membership are still able to book an appointment and would be able to use the kiosk, the company said. Richards said in an interview that the company plans to expand the kiosk model outside of California in 2026 and is in talks with external health systems to introduce the machines through partnerships. Amazon does not plan to offer medicines that must be refrigerated, such as GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, or more tightly regulated prescriptions like controlled pain medicines through the kiosk. Inventory for each kiosk will be tailored to the provider, and patients would be able to consult a company pharmacist virtually, Amazon said in a press release. Amazon.com, the $2.34 trillion e-commerce company, launched pharmaceutical delivery in 2018 through its acquisition of PillPack. In 2023, the company purchased One Medical, a national primary care provider. Analysts this year have flagged shipping and logistical costs as a potential squeeze on Amazon's profits. Chief Financial Officer Brian Olsavsky, in a second-quarter earnings call, said the company planned to make strategic decisions on product placement in an effort to shorten delivery routes and improve availability. "We're committed to initiatives that further improve our cost structure," he said at the time. Richards acknowledged that the most expensive part of the e-commerce supply chain is shipping. "If you put inventory closer to customers," she said, "your shipping costs go way down and your demand goes way up." (Reporting by Amina Niasse; Editing by Caroline Humer and Bill Berkrot)

Exclusive-GM backtracks on plan to claim last-minute EV tax credits

by Inkhabar webdesk
written by Inkhabar webdesk

By Mike Colias and David Shepardson (Reuters) -General Motors is scrapping a program aimed at allowing its dealers to continue offering a $7,500 tax credit for several months on electric-vehicle leases following the September 30 expiration of the federal subsidy, the company said on Wednesday. Toward the end of last month, GM devised a plan to have its in-house lending arm initiate the purchase of EVs in its dealers’ inventory. The company planned to apply for the federal $7,500 credit on those cars and then roll that money into EV lease terms for customers through the end of the year. GM opted to kill the program after concerns were raised about it by Republican Senator Bernie Moreno of Ohio, a former car dealer who is active in auto policy, a person briefed on the matter told Reuters. “After further consideration, we have decided not to claim the tax credit,” the company said in a statement to Reuters on Wednesday, declining to elaborate on the reason for its decision. Moreno told Reuters in an interview he was happy with GM's decision to scrap the EV tax-credit plan. "The EV subsidies ended September 30 and I'm happy that every car company" is going to abide by that. "I look forward to working with GM," he said. "We're putting a lot of policies in place to protect our domestic auto industry." The idea behind the program was to ease the impact of the expiration of the tax credit on dealers, who worried they would be stuck with EVs that would be tough to sell. GM had planned to apply for the credit on tens of thousands of EVs in dealer stocks, according to people familiar with the plan. Ford rolled out a similar program ahead of the tax-credit expiration. It is unclear if Ford is continuing its program. A spokesperson declined to comment. GM had planned to claim the credit on roughly 20,000 EVs that were on dealership lots or being shipped to stores, people familiar with the matter said. Its finance arm, GM Financial, began making down payments on those vehicles before the deadline to qualify for the subsidy on each of those cars, the sources said. In its statement on Wednesday, the company said it would "fund the incentive lease terms" through the end of October. The formula for determining the down payments that GM Financial paid to dealers on those EVs was 5% of the maximum price for each car. For example, GM Financial would have made a down payment of about $6,300 for two Chevrolet Blazer EVs, which top out in the mid-$60,000s, according to documents GM provided to dealers outlining the terms. GM scrambled to put together the program just a few days before the September 30 tax-credit expiration, and outlined the details on a call with dealers on September 29, three sources said. GM officials had caught wind of a similar program that Ford was putting in place for its dealers, the sources said. Auto executives, dealers and analysts have said they expect EV sales to plummet in the wake of the tax credit’s disappearance. A consumer rush to take advantage of the subsidy helped drive record electric-car sales in September. (Editing by Mike Colias, Mark Porter, Chris Reese, Marguerita Choy and Nick Zieminski)

Crypto race to tokenize stocks raises investor protection flags

by Inkhabar webdesk
written by Inkhabar webdesk

By Hannah Lang and Elizabeth Howcroft NEW YORK/PARIS (Reuters) -A race by crypto companies to sell tokens pegged to stocks is raising alarm bells among traditional financial firms and regulatory experts who warn that the fast-growing novel products pose risks to investors and market stability. Buoyed by President Donald Trump's pro-crypto stance and his administration's push for friendly regulations, the crypto industry is rushing to capitalize on a global surge in enthusiasm for the sector.  Robinhood, Gemini and Kraken among others have launched tokenized stocks in Europe, while Coinbase, Robinhood and startup Dinari are seeking approval to launch similar products in the United States. Nasdaq, meanwhile, last month became the first major exchange to propose offering tokenized shares.  The industry says tokenized shares — blockchain-based instruments that track traditional equities — could revolutionize stock markets by allowing shares to be traded 24/7 and settled instantly, boosting liquidity and reducing transaction costs. The combined value of tokenized public stocks geared toward retail investors as of September grew to $412 million, compared with just a few million dollars 12 months ago, according to tokenization tracker RWA.xyz. Although many products are marketed like stocks, they rarely offer the same rights, disclosures and protections as traditional equities. Instead, they more closely resemble riskier derivatives, according to a Reuters review of several products and interviews with a dozen industry executives and legal experts. That increases the hazards for investors, while tokenization more broadly could undermine market integrity and fragment liquidity if left unsupervised, critics say. "You're buying exposures to those shares through creating some sort of synthetic instrument," said Diego Ballon Ossio, a partner at law firm Clifford Chance in London. "A lot of the burden gets shifted on you to understand what exactly it is that you're buying." A few companies have issued their own experimental stock tokens on the blockchain – software that acts as a shared digital ledger – but most tokenized shares are pegged to public companies and issued by third parties like Ondo Global Markets and Dinari. Some tokens are backed 1:1 by underlying stocks, while others provide economic exposure through derivatives.  The industry is divided over which regulations apply to stock tokens, and investor rights and protections vary. Often, the products provide no ownership, voting rights or traditional dividends, while creating counterparty risk exposure to the token issuer.  For example, there are multiple tokens pegged to Nvidia and Tesla with a range of structures and terms and conditions. "The fact that different tokenized offerings have different rights and different disclosures … that's a real big worry," said Gabriel Otte, CEO of Dinari, which offers 1:1 collateralization.  Robinhood in June launched trading in tokens pegged to public companies and said it plans to offer tokenized stocks of private companies. To promote the launch, it gave away tokens pegged to OpenAI. Those tokens are derivative contracts backed by Robinhood's ownership of fund units in a special-purpose vehicle that holds OpenAI convertible notes, according to its terms and conditions. The announcement drew pushback from OpenAI, which said it had not blessed the offering. It also prompted scrutiny from Robinhood's European regulator. Johann Kerbrat, general manager of Robinhood Crypto, said the company clearly flags that its tokens are derivatives. "It's just one step forward to be able to have the benefits of no longer having multiple days to settle," he added.  While Robinhood is issuing public company tokens on the blockchain, it is not yet settling the trades on the blockchain, a spokesperson said. Gemini declined to comment. CORE INVESTOR PROTECTIONS In Europe, Robinhood, Kraken and others operate under the "MiFID" derivatives rules but some legal experts say that law is insufficient to oversee the novel products. Trump's crypto-friendly chair of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Paul Atkins, has indicated the agency plans to grant would-be issuers exemptions from securities rules.  That plan is facing opposition from powerful Wall Street players including Citadel Securities and the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, which say such major structural changes should go through a formal rulemaking process.  "Just because a security is represented on blockchain, that doesn't change the core investor protections and other provisions that apply to securities," said Peter Ryan, head of international capital markets at SIFMA.  In a July letter to the SEC, Citadel Securities raised concerns that tokenization would siphon liquidity away from public markets.  Spokespeople for the SEC declined to comment, while Citadel Securities did not provide comment beyond the letter.  A spokesperson for the European Securities and Markets Authority, which helps oversee MiFID, said it was aware of the potential risks of tokenization and was monitoring developments.  The World Federation of Exchanges recently urged regulators to crack down on tokenization, citing insufficient investor protections and liquidity fragmentation, although the group told Reuters it supports Nasdaq's proposal because it would treat tokens like traditional stocks. Coinbase is also in talks with the SEC about launching tokenized securities that would similarly grant investors the full legal rights and benefits associated with conventional stocks, according to a source familiar with the matter. Other issuers said they hew closely to traditional securities, anti-money laundering, bankruptcy protections and other rules.  Mark Greenberg, Kraken's global head of consumer, said the company offered the "gold standard" including 1:1 collateralization and investor disclosures, while dismissing derivative offerings as "IOUs." "Done right, tokenization enhances investor protections, rather than eroding them," said Ian De Bode, chief strategy officer at Ondo Finance.  (Reporting by Hannah Lang in New York and Elizabeth Howcroft in Paris; Editing by Michelle Price and Matthew Lewis)
