<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>Comparing Stanley Black &amp; Decker's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>

How Is The Market Feeling About Stanley Black & Decker?

President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s proposed tariffs have already <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41871407/trumps-tariffs-deportations-and-tax-cuts-may-push-prices-higher-experts-say-its-pretty-clear">begun to upend businesses</a> in several industries and many are taking action to safeguard their profits. The tariffs, which include a 10-20% tax on all imports and a potential <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41870809/china-may-benefit-from-trumps-return-to-white-house-despite-his-tariff-plans-says-expert-short-term-pain-but-potentially-long-term-strategic-gain">60-100% on goods from China</a>, are causing significant concern – and the costs are likely coming right to consumers' wallets.

</ul>
Philip Daniele, the CEO of AutoZone (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZO#NYSE">AZO</a>), has stated unequivocally that if these tariffs are imposed, consumers will bear the expense. On a recent earnings call, Daniele said, &#8220;If we get tariffs, we will pass those tariff costs back to the consumer.&#8221; The company expects to raise prices even before the tariffs take effect, anticipating how these new policies will impact its margins.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Who Else Is Raising Prices?</h2>
Many other businesses, particularly those that depend significantly on foreign suppliers, are also preparing for possible price increases, so AutoZone is not the only company preparing for these changes.&nbsp;
Steve Madden (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOO#NASDAQ">SHOO</a>) is one of the first companies to make a move. The shoe retailer, which sources 70% of its products from China, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41862692/steve-madden-announces-plans-to-move-production-to-avoid-trump-tariffs-but-theres-a-catch">announced that it will cut its reliance</a> on Chinese production by half, moving to places like Vietnam, Cambodia and Mexico. Even with these changes, customers should anticipate price increases as Steve Madden manages the higher expenses related to the effects of tariffs and changing supply chains.

Columbia Sportswear (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COLM#NASDAQ">COLM</a>) also raised concerns about how tariffs would make it more difficult to maintain the affordability of its products. According to CEO Tim Boyle, the company may be forced to raise prices to cover the additional tariff charges.&nbsp;
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41737933/trump-tariff-proposed-may-cost-americans-78b-in-spending-study">National Retail Federation</a> expressed similar views, describing the tariffs as &#8220;a tax on American families&#8221; and warning that the cost of daily goods like furniture, shoes and clothes might rise sharply.
According to their research, a $90 pair of sneakers might cost $106-116 and a $100 coat could cost up to $21 more. Footwear companies, in particular, are worried – since nearly 99% of all shoes sold in the U.S. are made abroad, it will be tough to move production to the U.S. anytime soon.

According to CEO Donald Allan Jr., the company has been considering several options, but manufacturing their goods in the United States isn&#8217;t considered practical because of financial difficulties. Rather, they will probably pass on any higher expenses to customers. &#8220;And obviously, coming out of the gate, there would be price increases associated with tariffs that we put into the market,&#8221; Allan stated.
Even dollar stores aren&#8217;t immune. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/analyst-ratings/24/10/41451898/what-analysts-are-saying-about-dollar-tree-stock">Dollar Tree</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DLTR#NASDAQ">DLTR</a>), which imports many of its items from China, might have to rethink its fixed-price-point model of $1.25 per item if tariffs increase costs too much. Like other importers, the company faces a difficult choice – absorb higher costs, which would hit profits or raise prices, which could challenge its value-focused business model.
For now, many companies are waiting to see what will actually happen with the proposed tariffs, but one thing is clear – if they do go into effect, the cost of imports will rise and those increases will most likely reach consumers.

Wall Street took a breather on Tuesday, with most major indices treading water, while tech stocks saw gains as investors braced for earnings <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41579487/amd-q3-earnings-preview-can-ai-server-gains-help-narrow-the-semiconductor-gap-with-">reports from mega-cap companies.</a>
The Nasdaq 100 rose 0.7%, buoyed by anticipation around upcoming earnings from Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), both set to report after market close.
Elsewhere, the S&amp;P 500 was largely unchanged, the Dow Jones dipped slightly, and small-cap stocks underperformed.
In economic news, U.S. job openings dropped by 418,000 to 7.443 million in September 2024 — marking the lowest level since January 2021 and falling short of the market's expectation of 7.99 million.
The Conference Board&#8217;s Consumer Confidence Index surged, posting its largest monthly gain since March 2021. This suggests that while labor demand may be slowing, consumer sentiment remains robust.
Treasury yields continued to climb during concerns over the U.S. budget deficit and political uncertainty ahead of next week's elections. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note hit 4.33%, the highest level since early July.
Notably, gold prices remained resilient, with the precious metal breaking above the all-time high of $2,770 per ounce as investors sought a hard asset amid fiscal concerns.
The crypto market also saw notable gains. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) rose nearly 4% to reach $72,700, nearing its record high of $73,697 set in March. Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) continued its momentum with a 10% rally on Tuesday, following an 11% surge on Monday.
