Shares of precious metals stocks are trading lower as gold and silver drop after the US and China agreed to a temporary reduction in most tariffs on each other's goods. This could be driving a rotation out of safe-haven assets.

<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?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.
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 Gold Fields 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 Gold Fields'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://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Gold Fields's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.88%, 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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Shares of gold stocks are trading lower as gold prices drop after President Trump said he has no intention of firing Fed Chair Powell and indicated the final tariff rate with China would be "substantially" lower than the current 145%.

HSBC Downgrades Gold Fields to Hold, Announces $21 Price Target

While President Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44729499/rh-rallies-after-trump-pauses-tariffs-that-triggered-40-selloff">90-day tariff pause</a> announced last week calmed the worst of the market&#8217;s recent volatility, it's still a market that leaves even the most stalwart investors uncomfortable. Volatility and uncertainty appear entrenched now that the trade war between the US and China is escalating, but that doesn&#8217;t mean you have to sit on the sidelines.
There&#8217;s a whole class of stocks that is barely affected by the US-China spat.
​​Here are five &#8211; and each one pays a nice dividend, too.
Income investing has been a popular theme lately and you don't need to stick to domestic equities to find quality dividends. Today, we'll look at five international stocks with enticing (yet sustainable) dividends whose profits are unlikely to get bogged down by tariffs.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mizuho Financial Group Inc.&nbsp;</h2>
Once the largest asset manager in the world, Mizuho Financial Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MFG#NYSE">MFG</a>) is still the third largest bank in Japan with nearly $2 trillion in assets (254 trillion yen) and over 59,000 employees. Based in Tokyo, Mizuho splits its divisions into four groups: Retail, Corporate, Wealth and Asset Management and Specialty Affiliates (such as the Mizuho Research Institute). The company's current market cap in dollars is just under $61 billion.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdD5uBfLKiF-GsMqc2-akZEwM1I7JfVwVmvQGiqZyzD9Wtvft7BdArnG7pwg26q5SvzaffHxtTCoYqD3U5NaQPbB4xf_MtdsAkQvQsPCFbR2MW8WTRLc3orQwU4-4DvXXc7SyDp3Q?key=_zL7ppl5XDh7Ks-FiCwdajeQ" alt="" /></figure>
Mizuho has strong fundamentals and was continuing on an uptrend to start 2025 before crashing in the aftermath of the White House's tariff announcements. The stock trades at just nine times forward earnings with a Price-to-Book (P/B) value of 0.91. MFG pays a 3.32% dividend yield with a dividend payout ratio (DPR) under 28, indicating a sustainable payout with room for growth. Benzinga Edge also grades MFG at a 98.94 for Quality, 86.30 for Momentum, and 73.54 for Growth.
On the technical side, MFG had been using the 50-day moving average as a support level before April's crash, but recently triggered an oversold signal on the Relative Strength Index (RSI). If the stock can break through the 200-day moving average here, there could be more upside ahead in addition to the healthy dividend.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">SK Telecom Co Ltd.&nbsp;</h2>
SK Telecom (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SKM#NYSE">SKM</a>) is one of the largest telecommunication firms in South Korea, with more than $13 billion (USD equivalent) in annual sales and a market cap approaching $9 billion. It's also one of the most prominent sports sponsors in the country (plus esports through a partnership with Comcast), making it one of the most recognizable South Korean brands worldwide.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcPOyF1GCYfudyCsmXQrGIP4aWuHEleayr__lhxg70cz6eXo20_ZyTDD3BSyvckFu3dubD1PAdXAyF_Zpd_0fKIprbrNbUGN4wNAEXLz7OWXJOOofRDZjzoFOsgeH2TJ55VQpBr?key=_zL7ppl5XDh7Ks-FiCwdajeQ" alt="" /></figure>
SKM is also a powerhouse in Korean markets, trading shares on the Korea Exchange and the NYSE. SK Telecom trades at an affordable valuation: the forward P/E is just 9.99, and the Price-to-Sales (P/S) ratio is just 0.64. Telecom has always been a thin-margin business, but SKM posted a 6.89% profit margin last quarter and pays a hefty 6.47% dividend yield (with an elevated yet sustainable 65.7% DPR).
The weekly stock chart also shows a MACD cross, which could trigger the next upward momentum swing. SK Telecom grades out well on Benzinga Edge, too, highlighted by a 99.68 Quality score and 96.10 Value score.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Banco Santander S.A. ADR&nbsp;</h2>
Founded over 160 years ago, Banco Santander (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAN#NYSE">SAN</a>) is one of Spain's largest banks and the world's 49th-largest public company as of 2023. Its current market cap sits at approximately $101 billion; it generates more than 70% of its revenue through its Retail Banking segments. Over the last 12 months, the bank reported more than $145 billion in sales and $13.6 billion in net income.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXebQQIGOiJw5pfEM0rN2rRmvAwBLpaqZ1nlO7j9qTq1gDR_izYSojLJTxhh6AV4eD7YN79XDenMgfiU3HlaRKqx8gNpO8vXWsKHwvVyqWpch-JzbGR4Zd8gHEbzphk64plPlgYMOQ?key=_zL7ppl5XDh7Ks-FiCwdajeQ" alt="" /></figure>
Banco Santander's dividend is as safe and sturdy as it gets within the European banking sector. The current yield is 3.52% with a DPR under 20%, and the company has grown its payout by more than 50% over the last three years. The stock trades at just 6.8 times forward earnings with a P/S ratio of 0.70 and a P/B value of 1.00. The share price also recently broke back above the 50-day moving average, a positive signal for upward momentum.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Jiayin Group Inc.&nbsp;</h2>
How will a Chinese consumer finance company avoid the strictest of Donald Trump's tariffs? By focusing on its domestic products! Jiayin Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JFIN#NASDAQ">JFIN</a>) is a fintech platform that connects lenders and borrowers on a proprietary platform, and consumer finance products could see a boost from Beijing's aggressive stimulus plans in 2025.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcWNuLOXMJb5Kjky--Rta-j4sDUuvodLk-7vLeaWGpNj7Ww_xwe8FCXPNEzZNnbL9PkSjwHL6_eqKs9oXN5oIoa-RdHYbLT6sfFDaqN6-U9j9uTdVCBPbE3QpmoOVoG_14kk_Yj?key=_zL7ppl5XDh7Ks-FiCwdajeQ" alt="" /></figure>
JFIN currently yields a mouth-watering 7.89%, often too high to be sustainable. However, the company's DPR rate is just 17.8%, and the company's most recent earnings release noted impressive 65% gross margins. JFIN also has a 4.18 P/E ratio and a 0.35 P/S ratio, plus Benzinga Edge scores of 96.17 in Value, 96.60 in Momentum, and 79.21 in Growth. The daily stock chart shows a strong uptrend still in place, with the 50-day MA above the 200-day MA and the RSI showing a comfortable number under 50.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Gold Fields Ltd. ADR&nbsp;</h2>
One asset that hasn't been rocked by volatility is gold, which continues to make new all-time highs in 2025. If you don't want to own gold bullion or U.S. gold miners, you can still get exposure through international stocks, and with Gold Field Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GFI#NYSE">GFI</a>), you'll earn a dividend yield above 2% as well.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXchJ5TjyU5GC9qrhC1otwSGwgvUIcWuiLOlP8bamG_yJtC1zCxDDftRP6phCTocDrtnXqDHg6_rNfpHKHpFYLACbzLXg8GDlCGAl1oNHDX59m1q5cVtuNnuF1qnhX0h72oZd2qC?key=_zL7ppl5XDh7Ks-FiCwdajeQ" alt="" /></figure>
Gold Fields has mines in South Africa, Australia, Ghana and Peru. The company has had numerous successful hauls over the last few years and currently expects EPS growth of 75% this year. The DPR is sustainable at 26%, and the stock trades at 8.7 times forward earnings. Technical signs also point to more upside ahead as well.
A golden cross (50-day MA above 200-day MA) occurred in early February, and the stock price recently challenged the 50-day MA on a dip. But the line held firm as support, triggering the next move upward. As long as gold continues to be a popular trade, gold stocks like GFI could see higher prices and strong dividends ahead.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">1,400% Gains While Others Sat in Cash</h2>
