In this year's Ten Surprises List for 2024, I am paying homage to my dear pal Byron Wien who passed away two months ago. In doing so I have abandoned my own format over the last 22 years in favor of adopting Byron's format -- from his style to the brevity and conciseness of his surprises over the last 38 years. In an agreement between the former President and the current President, Biden pardons Trump in exchange for Trump agreeing to leave the 2024 Presidential race...

China’s ban on Apple Phones (AAPL) continues to spread. Nike (NKE) reports fiscal 2024 first quarter results this week. The stock market has seen quite the rally toward the end of 2023, with inflation cooling and the Federal Reserve signaling rate cuts next year. Yahoo Finance spoke to experts across the industry to discuss these trending stories and more. Here is what investors are watching this week. Yahoo Finance's Josh Schafer discussed the earnings on deck this week, highlighted by Nike. Schafer said, "We're going to get Nike's report through the end of November, so we're going to get part of those holiday sales. We're going to understand how Nike started the holiday season, and then also get their outlook for what they expect." Yahoo Finance's Jared Blikre broke down the stock market rally and what to expect heading into 2024. Blikre said, "We are in the midst of a nice rally ... if we do have historical norms, we should get additional rallies into the end of the year. There have been arguments that some of that has been brought forward already all the way back to Thanksgiving. But we see the incredible bullishness in the markets just continue." Yahoo Finance’s Ines Ferré discussed China's ongoing ban on Apple iPhones and the market impact for Apple. Ferré said, "This is a big step up in the directive from China telling its state agencies that their employees should leave their foreign devices at home ... this is a direct blow to Apple's market share in China." NewEdge Wealth Senior Portfolio Manager Ben Emons discussed 2024 investment opportunities amid potential Federal Reserve rate cuts. Emons said, "I think what Powell did last week was somewhat historic in a way ... if the dollar sets in motion a broader weakening trend, not only are the boats in commodities lifted, so will they be in emerging markets." Yahoo Finance’s Ines Ferré broke down the current U.S. gas prices and what to expect from the gas and oil markets in 2024. Ferré said, "For the last 13 weeks, we have seen a downward trend in gasoline prices ... I've spoken to several analysts, and they are predicting that yes, by the end of the year if these trends continue you are likely to see sub $3 per gallon across the U.S. Definitely this bodes well with the fight against inflation."

Apple announced Monday that it will pause sales of its Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 smartwatches amid a patent infringement dispute with medical technology firm Masimo...

If two of the latest Apple Watches are on your holiday shopping list, don't dawdle for much longer because the devices won't be available to buy in the U.S. later this week if the White House doesn't intervene in an international patent dispute. Apple plans to suspend sales of the Series 9 and Ultra 2 versions of its popular watch for online U.S. customers beginning Thursday afternoon and in its stores on Sunday. The White House had 60 days to review the ITC order issued on Oct. 26, meaning Apple could have kept selling the two affected models in the U.S. through Christmas...
