Editor&#8217;s note: This story has been updated to correct the spelling of Eli Lilly in the headline. 
A cooler-than-expected December producer inflation report failed to ignite lasting gains on Wall Street Tuesday, reflecting lingering concerns about persistently high inflation <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/inflation">among investors</a>.
Early session advances across major indices faded into modest losses by midday trading in New York, as market participants exercised caution ahead of Wednesday's pivotal Consumer Price Index report and key fourth-quarter earnings from top Wall Street banks.
The Producer Price Index rose 3.3% year-over-year in December, accelerating from November's 3% increase but missing the 3.4% forecast. On a monthly basis, producer prices climbed 0.2%, slowing from November's 0.4% rise and falling short of the 0.3% <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/42974739/wall-street-rebounds-as-producer-inflation-misses-estimates-tesla-gains-chinese-stocks-rally">consensus estimate</a>.
Core PPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, increased 3.5% annually, matching November's pace but undershooting expectations of 3.8%. On a month-to-month basis, core inflation stagnated, showing zero growth compared to November's 0.2% increase, and coming in below forecasts for a 0.3% gain.
Bond yields continued to climb, underscoring persistent inflationary pressure. The 30-year Treasury yield advanced to 5%, its highest level since October 2023 and marking territory not seen since August 2007.
After a three-day rally, crude oil prices cooled. West Texas Intermediate fell 1% to $78 per barrel, as investors locked in recent gains.
Utilities and financials emerged as the session's strongest performers, while healthcare stocks were the largest drag on the market. Eli Lilly &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) plummeted 7.5% after the company issued a weaker-than-expected fourth-quarter sales forecast for its weight-loss drug Zepbound.
Peer Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>) slid 5% in sympathy.
CEO Dave Ricks revealed that Eli Lilly anticipates regulatory approval for its oral weight-loss treatment, orforglipron, by 2026, with pivotal data expected in mid-2025. 
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) rose 1.5% on Tuesday, bouncing back after three days of largely flat trading.

10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Michael Burry's $196 million hedge fund, Scion Asset Management, could see hefty gains if the People's Bank of China cuts interest rates in 2025, which it has suggested <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42614272/us-listed-chinese-stocks-react-as-central-bank-keeps-key-rates-steady-amid-yuan-challenges-and-fed-cuts">it is likely to do</a>.
What To Know: Burry has made significant investments in Chinese tech companies Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), JD.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) and Baidu, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>). In fact, those three investments represent nearly half of his fund's portfolio, according to its most recent 13F filing.&nbsp;

Chinese stocks underperformed the broader market in 2024, but that may change in 2025.&nbsp;
The People's Bank of China recently <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/794577b2-6bdd-4a03-bfab-19463543048a">told</a> the Financial Times that it will likely cut interest rates "at the appropriate time" in 2025.&nbsp;The PBOC also said it would prioritize "the role of interest rate adjustments" and place less emphasis on "quantitative objectives" for loan growth.&nbsp;
If China lowers interest rates, Chinese companies would benefit from improved consumer spending, higher stock valuations and potentially more investment and expansion as money would be cheaper to borrow.&nbsp;
The "Big Short" investor has hedged his China bets, however. He purchased put options on Alibaba. JD.com and Baidu shares in the third quarter, allowing the fund to protect its downside risk while still maintaining exposure to potential upside in Chinese stocks.

Michael Burry's Hedge Fund Could Soar if China Cuts Interest Rates in 2025

Shares of Chinese stocks are trading lower amid potential US sanctions limiting AI chip exports to China.

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/chinese-stocks">US-listed Chinese stocks</a>, including Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), Baidu, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>), JD.com, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>), PDD Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>), NIO Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>), Li Auto Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LI#NASDAQ">LI</a>), and XPeng Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>), are trading lower Friday as geopolitical tensions escalate between Washington and China over a potential artificial intelligence technology embargo on the Asian country.
Reportedly, Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and other chipmakers face a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/42897081/nvidia-and-ai-chip-stocks-brace-for-impact-as-biden-administration-considers-new-china-export-ban-report" rel="noreferrer noopener">potential US embargo</a> limiting AI chip exports to China.

Washington blacklisted Chinese companies, including gaming giant Tencent Holdings (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCEHY#OTC">TCEHY</a>) and EV battery maker Contemporary Amperex, citing national security threats.
The Street remains jittery over China&#8217;s economic recovery. The domestic stimulus measures failed to uplift sentiments and semiconductor sanction speculations pose a double whammy.
Edith Qian of CGS International flagged a volatile first half for Chinese stocks <a href="https://www.scmp.com/business/china-business/article/3294152/hong-kong-stocks-set-worst-week-2-months-china-outlook-trade-tensions" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">to the</a> South China Morning Post (SCMP), citing the escalation of US-China bilateral tensions as the government of President-elect Donald Trump prepares to assume office on January 20.
Hong Kong&#8217;s stock market lost $118 billion in capitalization this week, the SCMP reports. China&#8217;s central bank agreed to avoid buying more government bonds to contain the yuan depreciation.
A strong US labor market has also prompted traders to resist the Federal Reserve&#8217;s rate cuts, curbing investors&#8217; appetite for stocks.

Goldman Sachs Backs Chinese Equities as Markets React to Economic Slowdown and Tariff Concerns

Amid a turbulent start to the year for Chinese stocks,&nbsp;UBS Global Wealth Management&nbsp;has issued a warning to investors, recommending to &nbsp;"stay on the defensive side.&#8221; This comes as market&nbsp;volatility is expected to rise&nbsp;due to anticipated policy changes by the incoming U.S. administration.
What Happened:&nbsp;UBS Global Wealth Management&nbsp;has advised investors in Chinese stocks to adopt a defensive strategy. This recommendation comes as consumption remains subdued and market volatility is anticipated to increase due to impending higher tariffs by US President-elect&nbsp;Donald Trump, Bloomberg&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-03/ubs-wealth-urges-chinese-stock-investors-to-stay-defensive?ref=biztoc.com">reported</a> on Friday.
In an interview with Bloomberg Television,&nbsp;Eva Lee,&nbsp;head of Greater China equities&nbsp;at UBS, suggested that investors focus on stocks offering dividend yields above 6%, significantly higher than the 2% government yields. She highlighted a 4% yield gap as particularly appealing, recommending sectors such as banks, utilities, and energy.

Chinese stocks have had a rough start to 2025, with a 2.9% decline on Thursday marking the worst beginning to a year in nearly a decade. The&nbsp;CSI 300 Index&nbsp;continued its downward trend on Friday. Although last year&#8217;s stimulus measures have helped stabilize the market, traders are wary of economic uncertainties as Trump&#8217;s inauguration approaches.
China plans to&nbsp;issue more ultra-long special treasury&nbsp;bonds in 2025 to support&nbsp;consumer product trade-in programs&nbsp;and major projects. Meanwhile, the&nbsp;10-year government bond yield fell below 1.6% on Friday, reflecting&nbsp;economic concerns and expectations for&nbsp;further monetary easing.
Why It Matters: The advice follows Chinese stocks experiencing a drop right after resuming trading after New Year&#8217;s Day. The drop was attributed to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/42767647/chinese-stocks-drop-as-manufacturing-growth-slows-and-geopolitical-tensions-hit">slowdown in manufacturing growth</a>. The Caixin/S&amp;P Global manufacturing purchasing managers&#8217; index for December fell to 50.5, missing analyst expectations. This slowdown is compounded by geopolitical tensions, including a semiconductor embargo from the U.S. and concerns over potential tariffs.
Furthermore, the Trump administration plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/12/42701155/made-in-china-paid-in-america-what-trumps-new-tariffs-mean-for-the-us-economy">significantly increase tariffs </a>on Chinese imports, with rates potentially rising by 20 percentage points. These developments are likely to impact both the Chinese and U.S. economies, affecting consumer prices and industrial production.
Price Action: As per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>, in after-hours trading, Alibaba Group Holding Ltd &#8211; ADR (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) slipped 0.047%, Baidu Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>) rose 0.34%, and JD.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) edged up 0.18%. During the same period, Nio Inc &#8211; ADR (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>) and Xpeng Inc &#8211; ADR (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>) were up nearly 1%.

Analyst Warns Investors To 'Stay On The Defensive Side' For Chinese Stock As Trump's Tariff Fears Mount: Nio, Xpeng, Alibaba, JD In Focus

China is expanding consumption subsidies to include smartphones and other electronics.
What Happened: The national trade-in program, which currently covers home appliances and vehicles, will now extend to personal devices such as phones, tablets, and smartwatches.
Officials from China&#8217;s top economic planning agency announced this expansion during a briefing on Friday, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-03/china-to-subsidize-smartphone-purchases-in-bid-to-lift-spending">reported</a> Bloomberg.
The subsidies are expected to rejuvenate the world&#8217;s largest smartphone market, benefiting brands like Huawei Technologies Co. and Xiaomi Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XIACF#OTC">XIACF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XIACY#OTC">XIACY</a>), and platforms like Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.

Apple Rival Huawei, Alibaba And Others Get Boost As China Doles Out Subsidies To Smartphone Buyers

JD.com's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NYSE">JD</a>) short percent of float has fallen 17.87% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 31.71 million shares sold short, which is 2.62% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.67 days to cover their short positions on average.
<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/">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.

<h3>JD.com Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1735850716_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for JD.com has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing JD.com's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, JD.com's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 10.43%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>
