<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.

Palantir Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) shares are trading higher on Tuesday. Here&#8217;s a look at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/01/43094410/jeff-bezos-backed-anthropic-ceo-predicts-ai-will-surpass-human-intelligence-by-2027-but-warns-to-watch-out-for-negative-consequences">what&#8217;s going on</a>.
What To Know: Palantir shares are getting a lift in early trading. It&#8217;s possible that buyers are stepping in after U.S. President Donald Trump revoked an executive order from 2023 that aimed to reduce the risks of AI development. 
According to Reuters, Trump on Monday revoked an executive order that required AI developers involved with national security, the economy and public health or safety to disclose safety test results to the U.S. government. 
Palantir shares rallied more than 300% in 2024, buoyed by the company&#8217;s positioning in AI. The U.S. government is Palantir&#8217;s largest customer. The stock may also be up following Trump&#8217;s inauguration as investors anticipate higher defense spending under the new administration.
Palantir is due to report quarterly financial results after the market close on Feb. 3. According to estimates from <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>, the company is expected to report earnings of 11 cents per share and revenue of $775.77 million.
Palantir shares are up approximately 70% since the company last reported earnings. Revenue jumped 30% year-over-year last quarter on continued strength in the U.S. and customer count grew 39% after the company closed 104 deals worth over $1 million during the period, driven by&nbsp;"unrelenting" AI demand.&nbsp;
"The growth of our business is accelerating, and our financial performance is exceeding expectations as we meet an unwavering demand for the most advanced artificial intelligence technologies from our U.S. government and commercial customers,&#8221;&nbsp;Palantir CEO Alex Karp said in a letter to shareholders last quarter.

The Financial Times&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ft.com/content/6cfdfe2b-6872-4963-bde8-dc6c43be5093" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a>&nbsp;last month that Palantir and defense technology company Anduril are communicating with several competitors about potentially forming a consortium to make joint bids on U.S. government contracts.
The report suggested that&nbsp;SpaceX&nbsp;and&nbsp;OpenAI&nbsp;were among the companies in talks to join. People with knowledge of the matter reportedly said the group was planning to announce itself publicly as soon as January.
PLTR Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/pltr">Palantir shares</a> were up 0.35% at $71.93 at the time of publication Tuesday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

With Jerome Powell keeping his cards close to the chest, investors hoping for a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates">quick rate cut</a> might need to sit tight. 
Inflation has now regained equal footing with labor market data in the Fed's policy calculus, and according to Kevin Flanagan, Head of Fixed Income Strategy at WisdomTree Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WT#NYSE">WT</a>), the latest numbers simply don't "rise to the threshold" for an early rate cut.
While the central bank would love to get back to neutral, Powell is in no rush. 
"Powell &amp; Co. will wait to see future employment and inflation reports to see if the window ‘re-opens' for another cut come the March FOMC meeting, at the earliest," Flanagan said in an exclusive interview with Benzinga.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Investment Strategy: How To Navigate Market Uncertainty</h2>
Volatility in the bond market is here to stay, making traditional fixed-income strategies look increasingly shaky. 
Flanagan warns that duration risk can amplify price swings, leaving investors exposed if they're too far out on the yield curve. His advice? A <a href="https://www.wisdomtree.com/investments/strategies/fixed-income">barbell approach</a> that blends short-duration and long-duration assets to navigate the turbulence. "Utilizing a barbell strategy with an active-passive approach is our recommendation," Flanagan states.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Where's The Yield Curve Headed?</h2>
Looking ahead, the Treasury yield curve is likely to steepen further over the next six to twelve months, with intermediate to long-term bonds expected to underperform their short-term counterparts. 
"The Treasury yield curve will more than likely continue to steepen over the course of the next 6-12 months," Flanagan notes. Managing both volatility and duration will be key, and investors need to be tactical to avoid getting caught on the wrong side of the rate cycle.
With the Fed playing the waiting game and bond market uncertainty persisting, investors would do well to adapt. Staying nimble and strategic might be the only way to win in this new fixed-income reality.

InMed Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INM#NASDAQ">INM</a>) shares are trading higher by 22.6% to $6.05 during Tuesday&#8217;s session after the company announced that INM-901 reduced Alzheimer&#8217;s-related inflammation in a <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/inmeds-inm-901-demonstrates-statistically-123000055.html">preclinical study</a>.
What To Know: The study revealed a significant reduction in markers of neuroinflammation, a key driver of Alzheimer's progression. Treatment with INM-901 led to a dose-dependent decrease in pro-inflammatory cytokines like TNF-α, IL-1ß, and INF-γ, which are linked to tissue inflammation. 
Additionally, high-dose treatments significantly reduced levels of neurofilament light chain, a biomarker indicative of neuronal damage in neurodegenerative diseases. 
Complementary mRNA profiling confirmed decreases in neuroinflammatory genes such as GFAP, CD-33, and TLR-2, which align with the observed improvements.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy INM Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for InMed Pharmaceuticals &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy ‘fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. For example, some stock, like Berkshire Hathaway, can cost thousands of dollars to own just one share. However, if you only want to invest a fraction of that, brokerages will allow you to do so.
In the case of InMed Pharmaceuticals, which is trading at $4.95 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 20.2 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to ‘go short' a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, INM has a 52-week high of $15.70 and a 52-week low of $2.41.

Western Alliance's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WAL#NYSE">WAL</a>) short percent of float has fallen 11.41% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 5.65 million shares sold short, which is 5.28% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 4.56 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/">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 Western Alliance 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 Western Alliance'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://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Western Alliance's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.37%, 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/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>
