<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.

Shares of coal companies are trading higher following a report suggesting China will issue up to $284 billion of sovereign debt as part of a stimulus.

CEIX

Shares of coal companies are trading higher in possible reaction to China's stimulus.

U.S. metals and mining stocks posted their strongest one-day rally of 2024 on Tuesday, driven by China&#8217;s unexpected <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/09/41003814/chinese-stocks-jump-as-central-bank-unveils-major-stimulus-to-spur-economy-a-step-in-the-right-direc">and substantial monetary easing. </a>
The People&#8217;s Bank of China&#8217;s (PBoC) stimulus measures, including cuts to the reserve requirement ratio and repo rates, boosted global demand for raw materials, sparking a surge in metal prices and mining stocks.
The SPDR S&amp;P Metals &amp; Mining ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XME#NYSE">XME</a>) surged 4.2%, marking its best one-day performance since November 2023. The move reflected heightened optimism in the sector, which benefits heavily from demand in China, the world's largest consumer of raw materials.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Precious, Industrial Metals Shine</h3>
Gold prices hit yet another fresh record on Tuesday, rising 0.3% to $2,638 per ounce, the highest in history, as the metal benefited from expectations of higher liquidity from global central banks. 
The People&#8217;s Bank of China&#8217;s 50-basis-point cut to the reserve requirement ratio is expected to boost bank lending, while the reduction in key interest rates provides relief to heavily indebted sectors. This move is also seen as a strong signal that further monetary easing may be on the horizon.
Silver jumped 1.2%, while copper saw an even bigger rally, surging over 3%. The broad gains in metals prices were driven by expectations of increased Chinese demand, as the country&#8217;s easing measures are aimed at stimulating domestic economic activity.
Last week, the Federal Reserve slashed interest rates by 50 basis points to 4.75%-5%, offering another strong tailwind to metal commodities.

ARLP

Shares of coal companies are trading lower amid a drop in the price of the commodity. Weakness may be due to August's ISM Manufacturing PMI data indicating an economic contraction and pending non-farm payrolls data that may determine the size of future rate cuts.

First Trust Global Wind Energy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FAN#NYSE">FAN</a>), which follows the wind energy industry, is up 4% since January and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/wind">6.6% in the past year</a>.
The coal industry, meanwhile, has been facing setbacks from the investment community for several years. 
The obvious shift to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/clean-energy">clean energy sources</a> hasn't yet been enough to declare coal's definitive demise, but concerns over climate change from fossil fuel burning have caused many firms and individuals to drop coal-related holdings.
However, continued dependence on coal burning abroad continues to be a lifeline for coal companies in the U.S., pushing the industry into a sharp contrast to the clean energy sector, which has struggled to outperform the market in 2024.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Is Coal Dead? Some Don't Think So</h3>
In 2020, the market saw the shutdown of VanEck Vectors Coal ETF, which was at the time the only remaining ETF following the coal industry.
At the time, fund manager BlackRock Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>) said the firm's actively managed funds would no longer hold shares of companies deriving more than 25% of revenues from the thermal coal business, Barrons <a href="https://www.barrons.com/articles/the-only-coal-etf-is-closing-what-it-means-for-investors-51608225200">reported</a>.
In turn, many investors and firms have switched towards environmentally-friendly energy stocks and ETFs.
Yet some in the industry continue to believe there's a case for investing in coal.
In January of this year, Range ETFs, a firm dedicated to running ETFs around niche themes, launched the Range Global Coal Index ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COAL#NYSE">COAL</a>) which provides exposure to companies involved in the production, exploration, development, transportation, and distribution of coal.
Since its launch, the price of the ETF oscillated between $21 and $26 and is $22.6 at the time of this writing, with year-to-date gains of 0.86%.
In an investment document, Range claims there is still an investment case for coal, in spite of an obvious global trend to detach from it.
Demand for coal actually grew on a global scale between 2021 and 2022, led by China and India, according to the International Energy Agency.
Coal burning represents 16.2% of the total utility-scale electricity generation in the U.S., according to the latest data from the Energy Information Administration and 36% on a global scale.
In the U.S., the firm says, "‘energy security' as one element of national security." This means that the government will continue to guarantee the availability of reliable energy sources to make up for possible gaps in energy supply stemming from green energy production.

In June, the coal industry was affected by election results in India, which gave investors the idea that the country might not continue with a plan to upsize its coal use, though <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/06/39173971/coal-stocks-take-a-breather-as-trading-sentiment-sours-in-commodities-markets-was-the-election-in-in">some analysts called it a natural market correction</a> from an "overbought" sector.
The balance between trends running against "dirty" energy sources and short-term tailwinds for the coal industry have resulted in varying performances for some of its largest players over the past year.
<ul>
<li>Shares of Peabody Energy Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BTU#NYSE">BTU</a>), which is the largest coal producer in the U.S. are down 7.7% since January but up 2.3% in the past year.</li>
<li>The second largest producer, Arch Resources Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARCH#NYSE">ARCH</a>) has performed a lot worse in 2024, with shares down over 24% since January. According <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/24/08/40363492/top-3-energy-stocks-that-may-rocket-higher-this-quarter">to data from Benzinga Pro</a>, the stock appears oversold and its share price could rise this year.</li>

Other companies in the clean energy sector, however, could be struggling more.
Shares in the iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ICLN#NASDAQ">ICLN</a>) are stuck in a pattern that technical analysts call the "death cross," which occurs when the 50-day moving average crosses below its long-term moving average of 200 days.

The market for coal used to make steel is in the summer doldrums, but supply outages in Australia and the United States are providing underlying tightness that could cause prices to spike in the late summer and fall once Asian <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/steel">steelmakers start restocking.</a>
Mine fires in Australia and West Virginia and a lock and dam closure in Alabama are causing latent tightness that won't become visible until India and China come back to the market between August and October. Once they do, prices are likely to move higher but remain capped below record highs by a sluggish global economy.&nbsp;
"The supply side looks very supportive of met coal prices,"&nbsp;John Berman, chief investment officer with natural resources&nbsp;investment management&nbsp;company&nbsp;Berman Capital Group, told Benzinga. "It's the demand side that is potentially the brakes on any price rally."

Australia's Grosvenor Outage
Among the top concerns of the market right now is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/07/39623378/anglo-americans-coal-asset-sale-faces-hurdle-after-fire-at-major-mine">the outage</a> at Anglo American's (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NGLOY#OTC">NGLOY</a>) Grosvenor Mine, which supplies more than 1% of global seaborne steelmaking coal.
An explosion and fire forced the company to suspend production at the mine late last month, knocking out up to 3 million tons of Anglo&#8217;s total expected 15-17 million metric tons of steelmaking coal output for 2024. On Thursday, the miner revised that guidance to 14-15.5 million metric tons.
The day after the explosion, Anglo said the outage could last several months because of likely damage underground.
Last week, Australian mining union officials said they were worried that Grosvenor might close permanently, although they acknowledged that Anglo was trying to recover the mine.
Metallurgical coal prices initially jumped on the Grosvenor news, but then retreated as Anglo reportedly assured customers of third quarter deliveries. However, the company reportedly said it wouldn't be able to meet delivery obligations in the fourth quarter.
"While the incident will continue to provide support and tighten supply, it appears that part of the initial price rally was speculative,"&nbsp;RBC Capital Markets&nbsp;said in a note.
US River Transportation Outage
In the United States, the Army Corp of Engineers closed the Holt Lock and Dam on the Black Warrior River in Alabama on June 22 as a safety precaution because of cracks and leaks. The river is a key artery for barge transportation of coal.
The infrastructure will be closed for three to five months while a new steel-enforced bulkhead can be manufactured, Army engineers said.
The closure means Peabody Energy Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BTU#NYSE">BTU</a>) and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/02/37295857/warrior-met-coals-ballooning-development-costs-prompt-analysts-to-rethink-projectio">Warrior Met Coal Inc. </a>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HCC#NYSE">HCC</a>) will have to find alternate transportation, Matthew Warder, an analyst with The Coal Trader newsletter, told Benzinga. The companies didn't respond when asked for comment.
US Longview Mine Outage
On June 30, the Longview Mine in West Virginia caught fire, according to media reports. The federal Mine Safety and Health Administration is investigating the incident. 
As of Friday, the mine remained out of commission, sources familiar with the matter told Benzinga. One of the sources said the mine could reopen this week while another said workers had reentered the mine last week.
Industry chatter suggests the mine won't be back to full production for months, although one of the sources said it is the operator's goal to restart mine production as soon as possible.
The mine operator,&nbsp;Allegheny Metallurgical, didn't respond to requests for comment. Privately held Allegheny is a partnership between privately held U.S.-based companies&nbsp;American Metals &amp; Coal International Inc.&nbsp;and&nbsp;JAZ Ventures, South Korea's&nbsp;Posco Holdings&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PKX#NYSE">PKX</a>) and Japan's&nbsp;Itochu Corp.&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITOCY#OTC">ITOCY</a>) .
Based on a similar incident at Peabody's Shoal Creek Mine last year, Warder said the Longview outage could keep 0.5-1.5 million short tons of high volatile metallurgical coal off the market in 2024 and up to 3.5 million short tons off next year if the mine remains offline.
Higher Prices to Benefit Miners
The three incidents have tightened metallurgical coal supply, but at the moment there isn't a strong upward price reaction because steelmakers in India, China, Europe and Brazil aren't yet looking to make purchases on the spot market to replenish their stocks. Meanwhile, U.S. coking coal buyers are just getting their annual procurement process started this month.
"This is a very sleepy time in the market," Warder said.
Late last month, Australian premium coking coal futures, an industry benchmark, could be seen at $233 per metric ton, a far cry from their record high above $360 set in October.
When heavyweight steel producers India and China come back to the market between August and October, the demand may push prices higher than they would otherwise go if not for the production outages in Australia and the United States.
Warder thinks $300 steelmaking coal prices are in play sometime in the fall, although the market won't get back to the highs from the previous year because of a weaker Chinese economy.
"I think we could see $300 in the short term once the restocking season gets underway, although I don't know how sustainable that price will be with current demand," Berman said, adding that "$360, I think, is very unlikely without robust Chinese demand this year."
Firmer prices stand to benefit coking coal producers, Warder said.
That includes BHP and Alpha Metallurgical Resources Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMR#NYSE">AMR</a>), he added. 
Even with Grosvenor out, Anglo American still stands to benefit from its other metallurgical coal production, he said. And Warrior can use other transportation to get its coal to market, meaning the dam and lock outage isn't a showstopper for the company, he said. Peabody will also be able to get its Alabama coal to market, while it also produces Australian coal to sell, he said.
Berman agrees that Warrior and Alpha will be among the biggest beneficiaries as prices move higher. He also adds Australian miner&nbsp;Whitehaven Coal Ltd.&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WHITF#OTC">WHITF</a>) to the list.
"Warrior will likely produce a little more free cash flow through the end of this year than I was expecting," Berman says.

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>, Warrior Met Coal's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.80%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

<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.

Warrior Met Coal Sees Production Surge; Materion Updates Earnings Forecast; Contango To Acquire HighGold And More: Thursday's Top Mining Stories

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
The U.S. presidential election is heating up. We&rsquo;re less than 100 days away from the big vote now. The decision by Democrats to swap President Joe Biden for Vice President Kamala Harris has shaken up the race and seemingly given the party momentum, at least judging from current polling. Markets have gotten rocky over the past month, likely in part due to the heightened uncertainty around the election. These are seven stocks to sell now that are at particularly high risk heading into election day.



<h2>Tesla (TSLA)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/tsla1600-12-300x169.png" alt="Tesla (TSLA) sign on the building on car sales"><div>Source: Vitaliy Karimov / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Tesla (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/tsla-stock-quote/">TSLA</a>) finds itself between a rock and a hard place. CEO Elon Musk has publicly aligned himself with the Trump campaign for 2024, and Musk frequently tweets political commentary which seemingly line up with a conservative point of view.



And yet, a potential second Trump Administration seems unlikely to return the favor. Trump has already threatened to end the so-called <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-07-19/trump-vows-action-to-end-electric-vehicle-mandate-on-day-one">electric vehicle mandate</a>. And Trump&rsquo;s VP choice, Senator JD Vance, is also staunchly against EVs while calling for <a href="https://interestingengineering.com/culture/trump-jd-vance-gas-cars-over-evs">subsidies to gas-powered vehicles</a>.



Would a Harris term be much better for Tesla? Musk has already gone all-in politically with Trump and so it&rsquo;s easy to imagine a scenario where Tesla faces political and consumer backlash regardless of which party wins this fall. Since the future of TSLA is so uncertain now seems like a good time to add it to your list of stocks to sell.



<h2>Palantir (PLTR)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/pltr1600-5-300x169.png" alt="In this photo illustration, the Palantir Technologies (PLTR) logo is displayed on a smartphone screen."><div>Source: rafapress / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Palantir (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/pltr-stock-quote/">PLTR</a>) is a leading data analytics and consulting company. The secretive firm has long prized its connections to leading government intelligence and defense agencies.



That&rsquo;s where the political risk comes in. Palantir is reliant on those government contracts for a large chunk of its overall business, and any change at the White House could disrupt the company&rsquo;s current trajectory. Palantir founder Peter Thiel is also a highly controversial figure, politically speaking. This could <a href="https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/palantir-nhs-federated-data-platform-peter-thiel-data-privacy/">draw backlash</a> for PLTR both in the U.S. and with foreign governments.



PLTR stock recently popped on an <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/palantir-raises-annual-revenue-forecast-200650771.html">upbeat earnings report</a> tied to its generative AI business. Traders should strongly consider locking in profits before that enthusiasm fades.



<h2>The GEO Group (GEO)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/geo-1600-300x169.png" alt="Operated by the for-profit prison company The GEO Group. GEO stock."><div>Source: JosephRouse / Shutterstock</div></div>The GEO Group (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/geo-stock-quote/">GEO</a>) is an operator of private prisons. In theory, this could be a highly profitable business. Government contracting to take care of tenants who literally can&rsquo;t leave a property, after all, makes for an intriguing economic opportunity.



On the other hand, there are many opponents of private prisons. Some politicians oppose the concept on principle. And others worry that attaching a profit motive to incarceration will lead to over policing of populations and <a href="https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w25715/revisions/w25715.rev0.pdf">longer jail sentences</a> for relatively minor crimes.



GEO stock ran up earlier this year as Trump&rsquo;s position in the polls was advancing. With the rebound on the Democratic side of the equation, however, GEO has started to slump. Harris formerly endorsed the concept of &ldquo;<a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2024/07/26/politics/video/kfile-defund-police-harris-campaign-election-kaczynski-lead-digvid">defunding the police</a>&rdquo; and GEO could find its finances seriously challenged in a potential Harris administration. With the presidential race up in the air GEO seems to risky to hold onto at the moment which is why I see it as one of the stocks to sell.



<h2>Sunrun (RUN)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/run1600-300x169.png" alt="Person holding cellphone with logo of U.S. solar energy company Sunrun Inc. (RUN) on screen in front of business webpage. Focus on phone display."><div>Source: T. Schneider / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Sunrun (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/run-stock-quote/">RUN</a>) is a solar technology company. It offers a broad product line-up, delivering both solar power generation and storage solutions through direct-to-consumer channels and third-party affiliates.



Years ago, RUN stock used to trade at a lofty valuation. It seemed like an obvious winner amid the government&rsquo;s subsidy program for domestic solar power. As the total market grew, analysts expected Sunrun to enjoy a healthy piece of a larger pie.



However, subsidies are starting to run out, and the government has&nbsp;<a href="https://seekingalpha.com/news/4044820-sunnova-energy-sinks-as-congress-seeks-history-of-predatory-sales-practices">launched inquiries</a>&nbsp;into the solar rooftop installers specifically. Now, Sunrun&rsquo;s investors must face a grim reality. The company has huge operating losses and a shaky balance sheet. Sunrun lost almost $2 billion from operations over the past 12 months.



A potential Trump administration could be the final blow for the already struggling U.S. rooftop solar industry. Investors should consider RUN one of the stocks to sell before it&rsquo;s too late.



<h2>Insteel Industries (IIIN)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/steel1600c-300x169.jpg" alt="Steel stocks: rods, bars and other forms of steel"><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div>Insteel Industries (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/iiin-stock-quote/">IIIN</a>) produces and sells steel wire reinforcing products for concrete construction applications. Think of applications such as bridges, parking garages and commercial buildings.



Insteel was a winner from the Biden Administration&rsquo;s infrastructure spending. That huge infrastructure investment funded countless highway, bridges, renewable energy and other such projects which use a great deal of reinforced concrete.



There&rsquo;s no guarantee the government&rsquo;s enhanced funding for infrastructure will continue once Biden leaves office. In addition, the economic slowdown should limit commercial demand for reinforced steel. With IIIN stock trading at an estimated <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/IIIN/earnings/estimates">29 times</a> this year&rsquo;s earnings, there is little margin for error.



<h2>Coinbase (COIN)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/coin-eth1600-300x169.png" alt="Coinbase (COIN), is an American company that operates a cryptocurrency exchange platform. Ethereum (ETH-USD) coin on the background of the Coinbase inscription."><div>Source: Sergei Elagin / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Coinbase (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/coin-stock-quote/">COIN</a>) is a leading cryptocurrency brokerage. Shares have blasted off over the past year thanks to renewed enthusiasm in the cryptocurrency market.



I&rsquo;m a long-term skeptic on Coinbase due to its relatively high transaction fees. Over time, I expect profit margins to be competed down as traditional brokerages expand trading services. And, with the emergence of low-cost <a href="https://investorplace.com/2024/03/bitcoin-etfs-101-everything-newbie-crypto-investors-need-to-know/">cryptocurrency exchange-traded-funds </a>(ETFs) which reduce the need for trading crypto assets directly.



There&rsquo;s also political risk here. Cryptocurrency remains a financial frontier with a relatively uncertain regulatory environment. Trump has seemingly signaled more openness toward crypto this election cycle. However, Harris is viewed as having a &ldquo;<a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/ro-khanna-hosts-key-meeting-help-harris-repair-crypto-relations">fraught</a>&rdquo; relationship with the crypto industry and backed out of a recent planned meeting with crypto industry members.



The Biden Administration has established a reputation for cracking down on digital assets. COIN stock had already baked in a Trump win this November and could be in for a surprise if the political winds shift. Depending on which way polling trends COIN could easily become one of the stocks to sell.



<h2>Warrior Met Coal (HCC)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/coal1600c-300x169.jpg" alt="An image of heaps of coal"><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div>Warrior Met Coal (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/hcc-stock-quote/">HCC</a>) is an Alabama-based company which produces and exports non-thermal steelmaking metallurgical coal for the steel production by metal manufacturers in Europe, South America and Asia.&nbsp;



The political case here is apparent. HCC stock has surged over the past year pricing in the odds of a Trump presidency. Indeed, HCC stock is up close to 50% over the past 12 months.



Now that Trump&rsquo;s surge in the polls has started to fade, HCC stock could be in for a rough surprise. Additionally, the rapid slowdown in the global economy could significantly reduce demand for steel, thus hitting Warrior Met&rsquo;s revenues and profit margins.
