<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

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

President Donald Trump established a new body within the Commerce Department to manage the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022, benefiting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44584283/trump-sets-up-investment-accelerator-for-chips-act-management-heres-a-list-of-beneficiaries-that-could-be-impacted" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">companies like </a>Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>).
Here's a look at some of hedge fund manager Dan Loeb&#8216;s semiconductor and electrical stocks year-to-date:
<ul>
<li>NET Power Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NPWR#NYSE">NPWR</a>) shares dropped 79.89%; its peer, Bloom Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BE#NYSE">BE</a>), saw a decline of 24.71% YTD. As of the fourth quarter <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1040273/000108514625001713/xslForm13F_X02/infotable.xml" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">of </a>2024, the investor retained a stake of 500,000 shares (same as <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1040273/000108514624005927/xslForm13F_X02/infotable.xml" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">in </a>the third quarter of 2024).</li>
<li>Taiwan Semiconductor stock tumbled 24.58% versus VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>) decline of 19.44% YTD. Third Point held 1.78 million shares in the contract <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/25/01/43195763/dan-loebs-third-point-capitalizes-on-tsms-ai-expansion" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">chipmaker as of December 2024</a>.</li>
</ul>
Separately, the Trump administration excluded a range of technology products, including consumer electronics, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44786708/why-are-semiconductor-stocks-trading-higher-on-monday" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">from the 145% reciprocal tariffs bucket</a>.
Still, the tariff dispute between the U.S. and China is getting worse. A White House fact sheet has revealed that the Trump administration raised tariffs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44831287/trump-administration-imposes-up-to-245-tariff-on-chinese-imports-amid-intensifying-trade-battle" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">on Chinese imports</a> by up to 245% &#8220;as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44831422/donald-trumps-145-tariffs-on-china-could-disrupt-teslas-cybercab-semi-production-report" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">result of its retaliatory actions.</a>"
The White House argues that tariffs on critical minerals and their derivative products were levied to protect the U.S. defense capabilities, infrastructure development, and technological innovation.
Mineral stocks in Loeb&#8217;s portfolio are also on the downtrend:
<ul>
<li>Carpenter Technology Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRS#NYSE">CRS</a>) shares fell 2.93% compared to Invesco Dorsey Wright Basic Materials Momentum ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PYZ#NASDAQ">PYZ</a>), which dipped 8.53% YTD.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Carpenter Tech Stock In The Last 20 Years

President Donald Trump's fresh round of 25% auto import tariffs is shaking up the metals market, and JPMorgan analyst Bill Peterson sees near-term headwinds for key players in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/metals">steel, aluminum, and copper</a>. 
While domestic production incentives should help Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLF#NYSE">CLF</a>) and Constellium SE (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSTM#NYSE">CSTM</a>) in the long run, rising costs and inflationary pressures could stifle demand.
JPMorgan's U.S. Auto team expects vehicle prices to climb another 5%, with core PCE inflation now forecasted at 3.1% this year. The hit to real consumer spending has also led JPMorgan's economists to trim GDP growth estimates to 1.3% for 2024.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Copper Tariff Chatter Heats Up</h2>
The tariff storm doesn't stop with autos. Reports indicate Trump is eyeing a 25% tariff on U.S. copper imports, possibly rolling out within weeks—well ahead of the November deadline. 
This coincides with Glencore PLC's (OTCPK:GLNCY) force majeure at its Altnorte refinery in Chile, a major supplier to the US. Copper miner Freeport-McMoRan Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCX#NYSE">FCX</a>) is positioned to benefit, with COMEX copper trading at a 15% premium to LME. 
JPMorgan recently upgraded FCX to Overweight, seeing a 15% upside to its FY25 EBITDA, citing its defensive balance sheet and capex flexibility.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Short Sellers Smell Blood</h2>
Uncertainty has drawn in short sellers. Cleveland-Cliffs's short interest has spiked to a one-year high of 12.1%, while Carpenter Technology Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRS#NYSE">CRS</a>) saw a rise to 7.5%. With ‘Liberation Day' on Wednesday expected to bring another tariff barrage, volatility looms large.
However, JPMorgan remains bullish on select metals stocks, reaffirming its Overweight rating on FCX. As Peterson puts it, "FCX as a value/defensive play relative to growth-focused peers given its tenured management team, clean balance sheet, and capex optionality."
