Spotlight on Cleveland-Cliffs: Analyzing the Surge in Options Activity

<p><strong>Cleveland-Cliffs's</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLF#NYSE">CLF</a>) short percent of float has risen 7.47% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has <strong>58.28 million shares sold short</strong>, which is 15.11% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, <strong>it would take traders 2.29 days to cover their short positions on average.</strong></p>
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><strong>See Also:</strong> <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/short-interest?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage"><strong>List of the most shorted stocks</strong></a></p>

<p><img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1743623125_0.png" alt="short_fig" /></p>
<p>As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Cleveland-Cliffs has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.</p>
<h3>Comparing Cleveland-Cliffs's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Cleveland-Cliffs's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.10%, which means the company has <strong>more</strong> short interest than most of its peers.</p>
<p>Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be <strong>bullish</strong> for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage"><strong>This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</strong></a></p>

Looking Into Cleveland-Cliffs's Recent Short Interest

<p>President <strong>Donald Trump</strong>'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>. </p>
<p>While domestic production incentives should help <strong>Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLF#NYSE">CLF</a>) and <strong>Constellium SE</strong> (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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Copper Tariff Chatter Heats Up</h2>
<p>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. </p>
<p>This coincides with <strong>Glencore PLC</strong>'s (OTCPK:GLNCY) force majeure at its Altnorte refinery in Chile, a major supplier to the US. Copper miner <strong>Freeport-McMoRan Inc</strong> (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. </p>
<p>JPMorgan recently upgraded FCX to Overweight, seeing a 15% upside to its FY25 EBITDA, citing its defensive balance sheet and capex flexibility.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Short Sellers Smell Blood</h2>
<p>Uncertainty has drawn in short sellers. Cleveland-Cliffs's short interest has spiked to a one-year high of 12.1%, while <strong>Carpenter Technology Corp</strong> (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.</p>
<p>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."</p>

Check Out What Whales Are Doing With CLF

<p>Steel's scorching rally may have investors feeling bullish, but JPMorgan analyst <strong>Bill Peterson</strong> is throwing in a dose of caution. While Section 232 (S232) tariffs have fueled a buying frenzy, the reality of demand stagnation, rising scrap costs and looming economic uncertainty could keep <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas">stocks from fully cashing in</a>.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tariffs Spark A 36% Rally, But Demand Stays Stuck</h2>
<p>The restoration of full 25% S232 tariffs starting March 12 sent Hot Rolled Coil (HRC) prices soaring 36% year-to-date, with mills scrambling to raise prices. But here's the kicker—real demand hasn't budged. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Import Pressure, Recession Risks Lurk</h2>
<p>Despite tariff-driven price hikes, steel faces headwinds from cheap imports. HRC offers in the low $700s for June-July delivery threaten domestic pricing power and with no ‘glass ceiling' protection from quota-limited countries, pressure could mount.</p>
<p>Adding to the uncertainty, blanket tariffs on Mexican and Canadian steel have been delayed a month, but a <strong>Donald Trump</strong> presidency could bring renewed scrutiny to the S232 framework. </p>
<p>Meanwhile, JPMorgan's economic team is slashing U.S. GDP growth forecasts, seeing a real risk of a recession squeezing steel demand.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Who Wins In This Balancing Act?</h2>
<p>JPMorgan is adjusting its price targets, betting on some players over others. </p>
<p><strong>Nucor Corp</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>) gets a price target bump to $156, with Peterson favoring its diversified product mix as a buffer against volatility. </p>
<p><strong>United States Steel Corp</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/X#NYSE">X</a>) sees its target rise to $43, with its valuation looking attractive despite deal risks. </p>
<p><strong>Steel Dynamics Inc</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLD#NASDAQ">STLD</a>) moves up to $140, but remains a ‘show-me' story with its aluminum rolling mill ramp-up still uncertain. </p>
<p><strong>Cleveland-Cliffs Inc</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLF#NYSE">CLF</a>) was left unrated due to leverage concerns and exposure to Canada's auto market.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Investors Look Past Q1, Eyes On Q2 &amp; Beyond</h2>
<p>While first quarter results may show the strain of lagging price impacts and rising costs, investors seem more focused on the back half of the year.</p>
<p>With estimates now reflecting stronger S232-driven pricing, steel stocks could see earnings power improve—if demand holds up. </p>
<p>The big question: can mills maintain momentum, or will recession fears and import pressure cap gains? JPMorgan's call? Proceed with caution and pick your steel bets wisely.</p>

Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.</p>
<p>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.</p>
