Are You Trading Or Considering Trading Limited-Risk Contracts? Consider The New And Improved CME Event Contracts

EdgeClear

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Will the S&P 500 trade up or down today? What about the price of gold? Expect it to close higher by the end of the trading session, or think the Nasdaq will end the year lower than where it started? If you are considering trading limited-risk contracts, there’s a new way to do it thanks to the launch of the overhauled CME event contracts. Event contracts offered by CME Group, the Chicago company that operates financial derivatives exchanges including the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Chicago Board of Trade, New York Mercantile Exchange and the Commodity Exchange, provide investors with a straightforward way to invest in some of the leading futures markets around the world. Through these event contracts, investors can predict and trade on whether the price of futures markets will settle above or below a selected price. Not only do event contracts from CME give investors an easy way to play the futures markets, but they can be held for different periods and are easy to exit. Currently, events contracts have daily, quarterly and yearly expirations, depending on which product you are investing in. The contracts expire at the settlement time of each market, but investors can exit their positions at any time before the market closes. EdgeClear’s Edge Investors can choose CME event contracts for the S&P 500, Nasdaq-100, Russell 2000, Dow Jones Industrial Average, WTI crude oil, natural gas, gold, silver, copper and EUR/USD. These event contracts are only available through a select group of brokerages including EdgeClear, the trading firm that has made a name for itself thanks to its knowledgeable and highly motivated team that has years of technical and practical trading experience. With EdgeClear, the company says you get practical investing solutions that are not only innovative but cost-effective. Getting information and access to CME event contracts is made easy at EdgeClear. Clients can either get the details from their personal EdgeClear broker or fill out an information request form and a personal broker will be assigned to them. See how easy it is to trade CME event contracts with EdgeClear here. CME Overhauls Its Event Contracts In late January, CME launched event contracts with quarter and year-end expirations for E-mini S&P 500 and E-mini Nasdaq-100 futures, expanding its offering, which EdgeClear is now giving its customers access to. “Event contracts on E-mini S&P 500 and E-mini Nasdaq-100 futures are among the most highly traded of our event product suite, representing 33% and 20% of the volume, respectively,” said Tim McCourt, Global Head of Financial and OTC Products at CME Group, when announcing the improved offering. “These new contracts featuring longer expiries at quarter- and year-end will give traders a way to express their views on market direction at key economic-cycle intervals—with the added benefit of more opportunities to trade in and out of a position leading up to expiry. We’re pleased that our expanded suite of event contracts will continue to provide innovative, lower-cost tools for participating in CME Group's futures markets.” With CME’s event contract overhaul the maximum payout for event contracts is $100. How Event Contracts Work Here’s a brief summary of how it works – investors choose an event contract in stock indexes, energy, metals or foreign currencies. Investors then select yes or no based on their view of whether the event will happen. The price you pay per contract is the most you can lose or earn per trade, excluding any fees and commissions. The potential profit of a trade ranges from $1 to $100. Let’s say you believe the price of gold will settle above $2,100 for the day. You select at that contract price, and based on the current market the trade costs you $51 plus fees. If gold ends up over $2,100, you receive $100, making a $49 profit on your trade less fees. CME event contracts give investors an easy way to test their views on the global market’s daily, quarterly and yearly settlements. Through these contracts, investors have a way to express their opinions on the markets and potentially make money along the way while clearly defining their risk. Are you intrigued yet?

Report Reveals Alarming Number of Infants & Toddlers Experiencing Homelessness in the U.S.

SchoolHouse Connection

Washington, DC, March 20, 2024 | Today, national non-profit SchoolHouse Connection releases "Infant and Toddler Homelessness Across 50 States: 2021-2022," the most comprehensive analysis to date of homelessness among the nation's youngest children. This report offers the first-ever state-by-state collection of data on infant and toddler homelessness and provides detailed recommendations for policymakers and communities alike. “For the first time, we are able to shine a light on the extent of homelessness among infants and toddlers in all 50 states, as well as the gaps in their access to early childhood development programs," said Barbara Duffield, Executive Director of SchoolHouse Connection. "We urge practitioners and policymakers alike to dig into these data and take action, so that we can prevent long-term harm and interrupt cycles of homelessness that may start at the very beginning of life.” Drawing on an extensive analysis of federal and other available data, the report estimates that nearly 365,000 infants and toddlers experienced homelessness during the 2021-2022 program year across the United States. Alarmingly, the report found that only 11% of these children were enrolled in early childhood development programs, with enrollment rates varying significantly by state. "Early childhood development programs offer a wide range of support for infants, toddlers, and families who are homeless, from essential supplies like diapers and hygiene products, to services that counter the impact of homelessness on child development," said Erin Patterson, Director of Education Initiatives of SchoolHouse Connection. "These programs also facilitate vital connections to both short- and long-term housing solutions. We must redouble our efforts to ensure that every expectant parent, infant, and toddler experiencing homelessness receives access to these essential services." The report concludes with a call to action, offering targeted recommendations for state and federal policymakers to increase the identification of homeless families with infants and toddlers and to improve their access to critical early childhood development services and housing supports. The report also includes practical strategies for early childhood development programs that can be implemented immediately. A link to the report, including methodology, can be found here. About SchoolHouse Connection SchoolHouse Connection is a national non-profit organization working to overcome homelessness through education. We provide strategic advocacy and practical assistance in partnership with schools, early childhood programs, institutions of higher education, service providers, families, and youth. Our vision is that children and youth experiencing homelessness have full access to quality learning, birth through higher education, so they will never be homeless as adults, and the next generation will never be homeless.

Atlas Lithium (NASDAQ: ATLX): The Under-The-Radar Company Partnered With Suppliers To The Largest EV Makers Globally

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga As the globe races to reduce carbon emissions, the electric vehicles (EVs) industry is witnessing a boom. The global EV market was valued at $388.1 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $951.9 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 13.7% from 2023-2030. Unsurprisingly, lithium-ion batteries, the biggest battery chemistry that supplies EVs, are also experiencing growth. However, with the demand for these industries growing, experts are increasingly concerned over supply chain risks. In 2021, Australia had the highest lithium mine production in the world; however, Chile, China, Argentina and Brazil are also major contributors to global lithium production. With the increasing global demand for lithium, the development of new lithium projects in regions with large reserves is crucial for meeting the growing needs of the electric vehicle and renewable energy industries. For many investors, Brazil’s lithium valley is shaping up to be a promising target in the coming years, given that Brazil holds the fifth-largest lithium reserves in the world. Atlas Lithium: The Little-Known Company With Global Partnerships One company looking to capitalize on Brazil’s Lithium Valley – which holds an estimated 85% of the country’s reserves – is Atlas Lithium (NASDAQ: ATLX). With a focus on sustainable mining practices, Atlas Lithium aims to develop and produce high-quality lithium resources to meet the increasing demand for lithium-ion batteries in various industries, such as electric vehicles and renewable energy storage systems. Atlas Lithium's flagship project is the Neves lithium project in the state of Minas Gerais. The company reports that the project encompasses a significant lithium resource and has the potential to become a major lithium producer. Atlas Lithium also reports that it stands out in the Brazilian lithium market as the sole company with binding off-take agreements already lined up for its lithium concentrate. Through strategic global partnerships, the company has secured off-take agreements with Chengxin and Yahua; Yahua is a lithium chemical supplier to Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA), while Chengxin supplies Chinese EV giant BYD (OTCPK: BYDDY) which is the largest EV maker in the world. These agreements guarantee the sale of 80% of Atlas Lithium's Phase 1 production capacity, and provide Atlas Lithium with $50 million to fully fund its production expected to commence in Q4 2024. Future Plans And Competitive Standing Atlas Lithium has set ambitious targets for the upcoming months as it works towards becoming a leading producer of high-quality and ethically sourced lithium resources. Over the next 3-6 months, Atlas Lithium intends to complete a Definitive Feasibility Study for its Neves Project. The company expects to achieve a major milestone in the production of its first lithium concentrate within 6-9 months. Achieving these targets could set the company up to be a leader in the Brazilian market and a competitor to companies like Sigma Lithium Corporation (NASDAQ: SGML). The company also distinguishes itself from its peers with its low capital expenditure (CAPEX) to production. Through the utilization of modular plant technology, the company reports that it has managed to maintain a low CAPEX to production of just $49.5 million. According to Atlas Lithium, this figure represents only a fraction of what other companies within the sector typically invest. Although it has yet to achieve widespread recognition, Atlas Lithium boasts a wealth of compelling attributes that could position it for growth and success. The company's partnerships, low capital expenditure and high-quality product, backed by thorough metallurgical studies, are all key advantages. As the electric vehicle market continues to expand, the demand for lithium continues to grow. Atlas Lithium seems poised to emerge as a major supplier of this crucial resource.

Generation Uranium to Begin Exploration Program On Its 100% Wholly Owned Yath Project in Nunavut, Canada

Generation Uranium Inc

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, March 19th, 2024 – Generation Uranium Inc. (the “Company” or “Generation”), (TSXV: GEN) is pleased to announce that an inaugural exploration program will begin on its 85km², 8,500-ha property located in the Thelon Basin in Nunavut, Canada. Due to strong historical sampling and anticipated long-term elevated world spot uranium pricing due to favorable supply and demand dynamics, the Company anticipates that it will expend a significant amount of its capital resources into the basin in 2024.     Generation’s Yath Project (“Yath”) is located in the Thelon Basin mining jurisdiction that exhibits strategic land positioning and situated along trend from the 43 million lbs Lac 50 uranium deposit being advanced by Latitude Uranium, currently being acquired by ATHA Energy Corp. for an all-share acquisition valued at $64.7M CAD. Management believes Yath covers a possible western extension of the LAC 50 trend and associated commercialization potential. Historical grades at Yath conducted by Pan Ocean Oil Ltd. in the 1980’s highlight the known uranium and secondary mineralization of the property. In 1981, sample Bog-8-80 DDH revealed a promising intersection, assaying 1m at 0.224% U3O8 from 25.5m, with chip samples registering 6.7% U3O8 and 0.7 ounces per ton of Ag. Additional sampling from granoblastic Gneiss in 1982 (sample MM-276) in the heart of the Yath Claim returned including 14,000 CPS, 9.81% U3O8, and 3.7 ounces per ton of Ag.   Additionally, field samples conducted by Kivalliq Energy Corp. between 2012-2014 discovered U3O8 values ranging from 1% to 10%, with a confluence of faults and basin unconformity cover. High-grade samples localized along regional faults were observed coinciding with a VGR trend identified in a seismic line from 2012. These findings validate results from the 1970s, indicating significant potential for uranium mineralization in the zone.     With high-grade historic results and extensive historical work, the Company is anticipated to resume additional field exploration in the coming weeks at Yath to better decipher the near-term drill target potential of known uranium mineralization. Generation believes in the untapped potential at Yath, as adequate diamond drilling was never conducted as a consequence of the downturn in uranium prices subsequent to the Fukushima nuclear incident.   Generation would also like to announce a new Website and Corporate Presentation. The new website can be viewed at Generation Uranium: Leading the Future of Clean Energy with Uranium Exploration. Sign up to the company's mailing list to get in touch.   Generation will provide timely operational updates to investors as the situation warrants.   FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT Anthony Zelen President and Chief Executive Officer Anthonyzelen88@gmail.com 778-388-5258   About Generation Uranium   The Company is a natural resource company engaged in the exploration and development of mineral properties. The Company holds an option to acquire a 60% interest in and to the Arlington Property, located within the Arrow Boundary District of south-central British Columbia,and holds a 100% interest in the Yath Uranium Project, located in the Territory of Nunavut.   Forward-Looking Statements   This news release contains certain forward-looking statements, which relate to future events or future performance and reflect management’s current expectations and assumptions.

Through sharp market insight and relentless innovation in product development, Bitget Wallet has experienced an explosive increase in its user base, marking a significant achievement in its five-year journey.Bitget Wallet's strategic foresight during the 2020 DeFi Summer led to the early adoption of DEX quotations, significantly enhancing the user experience in asset discovery and trading onchain. This innovation garnered significant user interest. The subsequent rise of NFTs and the metaverse saw Bitget Wallet expanding its offerings with an NFT marketplace, further propelling its growth. As decentralized trading gained mainstream acceptance, Bitget Wallet was at the forefront, integrating Swap trading functionality and establishing itself as the industry's first to offer aggregated cross-chain DEX market data and facilitate gas-free cross-chain transactions.
