<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 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.
<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 7.11%, 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>

Cues From Last Session:
Small-caps ripped higher on Wednesday, extending their recent gains amid hopes of a benign economic environment but the major averages opened on a tentative note. Solid earnings reports from financial companies and strong gains by real-estate and utility stocks helped the major indices close firmly in the green.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average turned solidly higher immediately after spending the better part of the session above the unchanged line. The 30-stock blue-chip average ended at a fresh high, although it did not have enough momentum to break above its Oct. 15 intraday high of 43,277.78.
The S&amp;P 500 Index and the Nasdaq Composite had a lackluster first-half before picking up momentum in the afternoon. 
Of the 11 S&amp;P 500 sector classes, only communication services and consumer discretionary stocks declined in Wednesday&#8217;s session.

Insights From Analysts:
Delving into the small-cap rally that has been on, LPL Financial Chief Technical Strategist Adam Turnquist said after being stuck in a consolidation phase over the past few months, small-caps have picked up some momentum in recent sessions, with the growth outlook recently improving — underpinned by better-than-feared labor market conditions — and increased visibility into Fed rate cuts, he said.
The strategist noted that the Russell 2,000 Index, or RTY, has rallied off the lower end of its rising price channel. &#8220;Recent strength in the banking space — the RTY's largest sector by weighting — has further supported small caps,&#8221; he said.
Technically, a close above 2,275 would confirm a breakout from its current symmetrical triangle and leave&nbsp;the 2021 highs (2,243)&nbsp;as the next resistance hurdle to clear, Turnquist said, adding that momentum indicators have also recently turned bullish, adding to the evidence of a topside breakout.
&#8220;Despite the improving absolute performance, the RTY vs. S&amp;P 500 ratio chart still remains in a downtrend and below its declining 200-day moving average (DMA),&#8221; he said. A close above the July highs would validate a trend reversal in favor of small caps outperforming, he added.
Meanwhile, a fund manager thinks AI-levered companies could be defensive plays. Louis Navellier said, &#8220;Semiconductor demand has become the new proxy for global growth trends, being incorporated into almost everything, and also has geopolitical implications with technology export controls in place and China continuing to saber rattle about taking Taiwan back.&#8221;
&#8220;The upshot here is the inference that AI will still have legs even if we slide into a global recession in &#8217;25,&#8221; he added.
