<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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Marathon Petroleum 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 Marathon Petroleum'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>, Marathon Petroleum's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 7.28%, 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>

The Analyst Verdict: Marathon Petroleum In The Eyes Of 6 Experts

Raymond James Maintains Strong Buy on Marathon Petroleum, Raises Price Target to $192

Traders adopted a cautious approach on Monday as they awaited two critical inflation reports due later this week, seeking clarity on Federal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/42953940/tuesdays-producer-inflation-report-could-stoke-market-volatility-as-fed-path-remains-unclear">Reserve interest rate policy. </a>
Additionally, the kickoff of earnings season, led by major banks on Wednesday, added to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">the market&#8217;s subdued tone.</a>
The S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100 edged lower, continuing Friday&#8217;s downturn sparked by unexpectedly strong jobs data. The lack of &#8220;buy-the-dip&#8221; enthusiasm in the tech-heavy indices signaled lingering uncertainty among investors.
In contrast, the Dow Jones Industrial Average eked out a gain, buoyed by a rally in energy stocks. Rising oil prices provided a key lift, as West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil surged over 3% to approach $78 per barrel — a level last seen in mid-August 2024. The spike followed U.S. sanctions on Russian crude exports announced on Friday, which shifted market expectations around supply and demand.
Treasury yields extended their ascent, with the 10-year yield climbing to 4.79% and the 30-year yield rising to 4.97%, reflecting heightened expectations for tighter monetary policy. Bank of America Securities launched a bombshell indicating rising risks towards a rate hike as the next Fed move.
Commodity markets saw mixed action. Gold endured its sharpest daily loss in nearly a month, falling more than 1% as rising yields weighed on the precious metal. Meanwhile, copper staged a modest rebound, gaining 0.8% after a 0.5% decline last Friday.
Cryptocurrencies faced renewed volatility, with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) plunging 3% to dip below $92,000, briefly touching a two-month low. The ripple effects extended to crypto-linked equities: MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) slid more than 3%, while Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) dropped nearly 4%.

Canada is considering export taxes on goods, including uranium, oil and potash, if President-elect Donald Trump imposes the broad<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42451262/canadian-oil-sector-hedges-trump-tariff-risk-us-midwest-refineries-could-be-affected"> tariffs he pledged. </a>
The Details: According to a Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-12/canada-weighs-export-taxes-on-uranium-oil-if-trump-starts-trade-war?srnd=homepage-americas">report</a>, retaliatory tariffs on U.S.-made goods and export controls on certain Canadian products are most likely, with export levies also on the table as a last resort. The Bloomberg report cited officials familiar with discussions inside Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government.&nbsp;
The sources also said Trudeau's government may consider expanding its powers over export controls as part of a scheduled update on the country's fiscal and economic conditions.&nbsp;
Why It Matters: U.S. oil refineries, especially in the Midwest, rely heavily on Canadian crude oil imports. Export levies would increase the cost of imported Canadian oil and potentially squeeze refinery margins. Some of the largest oil refiners in the U.S. are Marathon Petroleum Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPC#NYSE">MPC</a>) and Valero Energy Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VLO#NYSE">VLO</a>).

Canadian export taxes on uranium could be devastating to U.S. nuclear energy producers with Canada supplying about a quarter of the uranium U.S. producers use for their nuclear reactors.&nbsp;
Constellation Energy Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEG#NASDAQ">CEG</a>), the largest owner of non-rate-regulated nuclear plants in the U.S., and Duke Energy Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DUK#NYSE">DUK</a>), which operates 11 nuclear units in North and South Carolina, could face supply disruptions as domestic uranium production is virtually nonexistent. The companies could pass along the increased costs to consumers in areas served by nuclear power plants.
American farmers rely heavily on imports of Canadian potash as a source of fertilizer. If Canada imposes export levies on potash,&nbsp;several American farm-related stocks could be affected due to the reliance of U.S. agriculture on the fertilizer.
Companies tied to crops heavily dependent on potash, such as soybeans, corn, sugar beets and potatoes could see increased costs. These companies include Archer-Daniels-Midland Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADM#NYSE">ADM</a>) and Bunge Limited (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BG#NYSE">BG</a>). Food producers, like General Mills, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GIS#NYSE">GIS</a>) and Kellanova (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/K#NYSE">K</a>) may face higher input costs for agricultural products reliant on potash fertilizers and could pass those costs along to consumers.
