Shares of companies within the broader industrial sector are trading lower as stocks pull back after surging Wednesday following President Trump's tariff pause announcement.

The Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLI#NASDAQ">XLI</a>) declined 2.4% to $123.71 Thursday morning, giving back part of its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44720006/markets-take-off-as-trump-announces-90-day-tariff-pause-for-non-retaliating-nations-slaps-china-with-125-duty">dramatic gains</a> from the prior session, as investors moved to lock in profits despite a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/04/44733390/march-inflation-rate-cools-far-more-than-expected-raises-hopes-for-near-term-fed-rate-cuts">surprisingly soft inflation report</a> that reinforced Wednesday's bullish macro shift.
What To Know: After surging more than 9% on news of President Donald Trump's 90-day pause on tariffs for non-retaliatory nations, XLI was down nearly 2% by mid-morning, reflecting broader market weakness and cautious repositioning.
The retreat comes even as fresh data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed inflation <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/04/44733390/march-inflation-rate-cools-far-more-than-expected-raises-hopes-for-near-term-fed-rate-cuts">cooling more sharply</a> than expected in March. Headline CPI fell to 2.4% year-over-year, the lowest since September, while core inflation eased to 2.8%, a level not seen in four years. Monthly inflation contracted by 0.1% — the weakest print since May 2020 — helped by a 6.3% drop in gasoline prices.

The inflation data added to optimism that the front-loaded impact of tariffs may be less damaging than feared. However, that wasn't enough to extend Wednesday's euphoric rally, which saw the S&amp;P 500 post its largest one-day percentage gain since 2008.
What Else: XLI, which tracks U.S. industrial giants like Caterpillar Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAT#NYSE">CAT</a>), General Electric Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>), Union Pacific Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNP#NYSE">UNP</a>), Honeywell International Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HON#NASDAQ">HON</a>) and 3M Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MMM#NYSE">MMM</a>), is particularly sensitive to trade policy, global demand expectations and inflation. 
While the tariff pause and disinflationary surprise support a more favorable backdrop for cyclical sectors, Thursday's pullback likely reflects near-term profit taking after outsized gains and lingering uncertainty around the durability of the policy shift.
Markets are now recalibrating expectations ahead of the Federal Reserve's May meeting, with rate cut odds rising sharply post-CPI.

Shares of the Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLI#NASDAQ">XLI</a>) are trading higher by 2.7% to $120.53 during Tuesday&#8217;s session, rebounding following recent weakness. The popular ETF is otherwise down 7.4% over the past week, as President Donald Trump's announcement of sweeping reciprocal tariffs triggered a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44670193/wall-street-turmoil-deepens-as-trump-threatens-massive-china-tariffs-bitcoin-wobbles-at-78k-whats-driving-markets-monday">broad market sell-off</a> in recent sessions.
The industrial sector—highly sensitive to trade policy and global growth—is among the hardest hit over the past week, with XLI dropping alongside escalating concerns about weakening demand, higher costs and disrupted supply chains.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Is XLI?</h2>
The Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund is an exchange-traded fund comprised of major U.S. companies involved in manufacturing, transportation, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/aerospace">aerospace</a>, defense and related services. 
Key XLI holdings include heavyweights like General Electric Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>), Boeing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>), Caterpillar Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAT#NYSE">CAT</a>), Honeywell International Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HON#NASDAQ">HON</a>) and Union Pacific Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNP#NYSE">UNP</a>).
These companies form the backbone of the U.S. industrial economy and are deeply exposed to international trade, making XLI a direct casualty of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44667104/speculators-raise-wagers-on-fed-emergency-rate-cuts-as-theories-of-self-induced-crash-gather-pace">tariff-related uncertainty</a>.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Are Tariffs Hitting XLI So Hard?</h2>
Industrial companies rely heavily on global supply chains, international sales and capital spending—all of which are under pressure in a tariff-fueled environment. Here's how the latest trade developments are dragging down XLI:
<ul>
<li>Supply Chain Disruptions: Many of XLI's components import raw materials, components and machinery from abroad—especially from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44667173/why-ishares-china-large-cap-etf-fxi-is-getting-hammered">China</a>. New tariffs increase costs for manufacturers like Caterpillar and Honeywell, potentially squeezing profit margins and prompting some firms to delay production or pass costs on to customers. </li>
<li>Global Demand Weakens: With tariffs dampening global trade and business confidence, companies in the industrial sector are seeing reduced orders from overseas markets. Multinational firms like Boeing and 3M face declining demand in Asia and Europe, where retaliatory tariffs and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/04/44657800/trumps-tariffs-stir-global-markets-wall-street-loses-2-trillion-and-more-this-week-in-economics">economic uncertainty</a> could weigh on spending and infrastructure investment. </li>
<li>Capex Pullbacks: Businesses across industries often cut back on capital expenditures when facing uncertainty. That means less investment in heavy equipment, machinery and transportation services—the very things XLI companies produce. </li>
<li>Transportation and Logistics Hit Hard: Railroads and freight carriers, including Union Pacific and FedEx, could feel the sting of reduced trade volumes. If demand for shipping and freight services falls—both domestic and international—this could reflect slowing global economy. </li>
<li>Investor Sentiment and Risk Aversion: The industrial sector is closely tied to the business cycle. When investors fear a slowdown, they often rotate out of economically sensitive sectors like industrials.</li>

Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLI) Is Rising: What's Going On?

Union Pacific's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNP#NYSE">UNP</a>) short percent of float has fallen 3.15% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 7.43 million shares sold short, which is 1.23% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.9 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.

<h3>Union Pacific Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744120818_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Union Pacific 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 Union Pacific'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>, Union Pacific's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 8.39%, 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>
