Leading And Lagging Sectors For April 7, 2025

NIO Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>) shares are trading lower Monday morning alongside several Chinese names as trade tensions rise <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44655719/trump-tariffs-erode-5-trillion-in-market-cap-in-2-days-as-china-retaliates-jerome-powell-warns-o">between the U.S. and China</a>.
What Happened: Last week, U.S. President Donald Trump announced sweeping reciprocal tariffs on several countries, including 34% tariffs on China. 
China responded with 34% tariffs on U.S. imports, export curbs on some rare earths and restrictions on several U.S. organizations, per Reuters.
Trump&#8217;s 34% tariffs on China come after the President doubled tariffs on China from 10% to 20% earlier this year. Total tariffs on China now sit around 54%. 
&#8220;The U.S move is not in line with international trade rules, seriously undermines China&#8217;s legitimate and lawful rights and interests, and is a typical unilateral bullying practice,&#8221; China&#8217;s finance ministry reportedly said.
Check This Out: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44661713/a-beautiful-word-why-trump-insists-on-tariffs-as-essential-in-his-bid-to-save-american-manufacturing">&#8216;A Beautiful Word&#8217;: Why Trump Insists On Tariffs As Essential In His Bid To Save American Manufacturing</a>
The response from China has deepened the trade war between the world&#8217;s two largest economies. Trump on Friday took a shot at China in a Truth Social post. 
Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114279915827492021">said</a>, &#8220;China played it wrong, they panicked &#8211; the one thing they cannot afford to do!&#8221;
Nio on Monday announced that it completed an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/offerings/25/03/44511664/why-is-teslas-chinese-rival-nio-stock-diving-today">offering</a> announced at the end of March. The company said it offered and sold 136.8 million shares for HK$4.03 billion ($520 million) to non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions.
Reuters also reported Monday morning that Chinese battery giant CATL is in talks to acquire a controlling stake in Nio&#8217;s power unit, which includes more than 3,000 battery swapping stations in China.
Nio announced last week that it delivered 15,039 vehicles in March, up 26.7% year-over-year. Total March deliveries consisted of 10,219 vehicles from the company's premium Nio brand and 4,820 vehicles from the company's ONVO brand.
NIO Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/nio" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nio shares</a> were down 6.65% at $3.23 at the time of publication Monday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Lucid Group's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LCID#NYSE">LCID</a>) short percent of float has risen 6.23% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 284.95 million shares sold short, which is 17.38% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.75 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?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.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744030859_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Lucid Group 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 Lucid Group'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>, Lucid Group's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.83%, which means the company has more 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>

<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.
