U.S. stock futures point to a flattish start on Wednesday after the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41341168/chipmaker-stocks-sink-on-asml-earnings-leak-oil-eyes-worst-1-day-drop-this-year-small-caps-rally">S&amp;P 500 Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average retreated from record highs</a> in the previous session. A rebound by tech stocks could lend support to the market but the absence of any major economic catalysts could render the mood uncertain, potentially leading to a range-bound move. Earnings news, and preannouncements, if any, may also guide the market. Crude oil continues to be weak amid the fluid geopolitical situation, exerting further downward pressure on energy stocks.

Cues From Last Session:
Wall Street pulled back sharply from their record highs on Tuesday as Dutch chip-equipment maker ASML Holdings N.V.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) weak revenue forecast weighed down on the artificial intelligence hardware space and oil&#8217;s plunge hurt energy stocks. The major indices opened on a mixed note after a regional manufacturing survey showed an unexpected contraction. 
The S&amp;P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite indices, which started higher, gave back their gains and fell sharply after ASML&#8217;s early earnings release. They languished below the unchanged line for the rest of the session before ending sharply lower, while the Dow was in the red throughout the session.
Healthcare stocks also pulled back strongly, while real-estate stocks ended firmer during the session.

Insights From Analysts:
Given the bull market has progressed beyond the second year, more gains could follow, according to Carson Group&#8217;s Chief Market Strategist Ryan Detrick. &#8220;Going back 50 years, if a bull market makes it past it&#8217;s 2nd birthday (like this one) that is a great sign many more years could be left in the tank,&#8221; he said. 
&#8220;Five bull markets made it this far and the shortest was at least 5 years old when it ended,&#8221; he added.

CSX's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSX#NYSE">CSX</a>) short percent of float has fallen 18.25% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 20.11 million shares sold short, which is 1.03% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.94 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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for CSX 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 CSX'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>, CSX's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 7.38%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

U.S. stock markets saw a strong recovery on Tuesday, with both the S&amp;P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 climbing over 2%, nearly offsetting Monday&#8217;s losses. Investors took advantage of recent volatility to buy the dip, showing continued confidence in the U.S. economy&#8217;s ability to avoid a recession. 
Gains were observed in both small-cap and blue-chip stocks, reflecting broad improvement in market sentiment.
The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), often referred to as the market&#8217;s fear gauge, decreased by almost 40% on Tuesday after spiking 65% on Monday. 
According to the FedWatch Tool, the likelihood of a 50-basis-point interest rate cut decreased to 90% Monday to 64% Tuesday. 
As traders reassess Fed rate cuts, Treasury yields increased during the day, with the 10-year yield rising by 11 basis points to 3.9% and the two-year yield climbing 9 basis points to 4.01%.
The rebound of the U.S. dollar was supported by rising yields and diminished expectations of a larger Federal Reserve rate cut in September. The dollar increased by 0.8% against the low-yielding Japanese yen, breaking a streak of five consecutive days of losses.
In terms of macroeconomic data, the day was relatively quiet, with only June&#8217;s trade figures making news. The U.S. trade deficit narrowed to $73.1 billion in June 2024 from a revised 20-month high of $75 billion in May, slightly above market forecasts of a $72.5-billion gap. Exports increased by 1.5% to $265.9 billion, the second-highest on record, while imports grew by a more modest 0.6% to $339 billion.
Gold and oil prices both decreased by 0.7% and 0.8%, respectively, marking their fourth consecutive session of declines.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) rebounded by 4.9% after experiencing a 7% drop on Monday.

Wall Street Rebounds After Selloff, VIX Falls, Dollar Surges Against Yen: What's Driving Markets Tuesday?

CSX's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSX#NYSE">CSX</a>) short percent of float has fallen 10.12% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 29.49 million shares sold short, which is 1.51% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.04 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>CSX Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1722962710_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for CSX 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 CSX'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>, CSX'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>
