<p><strong>APA's</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APA#NYSE">APA</a>) short percent of float has fallen 7.53% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has <strong>22.26 million shares sold short</strong>, which is 6.88% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, <strong>it would take traders 3.16 days to cover their short positions on average.</strong></p>
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<p>As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for APA 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.</p>
<h3>Comparing APA's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, APA's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.54%, which means the company has <strong>more</strong> short interest than most of its peers.</p>
<p>Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be <strong>bullish</strong> for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/"><strong>This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</strong></a></p>

<p>In connection with APA's entry into the Credit Agreements, Apache Corporation ("Apache"), a wholly owned subsidiary of APA, guaranteed obligations under each Credit Agreement effective until the aggregate principal amount of indebtedness under senior notes and debentures outstanding under Apache's existing indentures first is less than US$1.0&nbsp;billion.</p>
<p>Borrowings under the USD Agreement may be made only in US dollars. The aggregate amount of borrowings and the US dollar equivalent of undrawn letters of credit and unreimbursed drawings under issued letters of credit may not exceed total commitments at any given time.</p>

<p>Letters of credit are available under each Credit Agreement for credit support needs of APA and its subsidiaries, including in respect of North Sea decommissioning obligations. Letters of credit under each Credit Agreement may be denominated in US dollars, pounds sterling, Canadian dollars, and any other foreign currency consented to by an issuing bank. As of January&nbsp;15, 2025, (i) there were no borrowings or letters of credit outstanding under the Former USD Facility, and (ii)&nbsp;letters of credit aggregating approximately £253&nbsp;million originally issued under the Former GBP Facility are deemed issued and outstanding under the GBP Agreement.</p>
<p>All amounts outstanding under each Credit Agreement are due January&nbsp;15, 2030, provided that APA twice may request that the maturity date under either or both of the Credit Agreements be extended for successive one-year periods expiring one year from the then scheduled maturity date. No lender is obligated to consent to any extension. APA can replace a non-consenting lender and its commitment or repay a non-consenting lender and let its commitment expire upon scheduled maturity. APA can proceed with the extension as to remaining commitments if lenders having at least 51% of total commitments agree.</p>

Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts Weigh In On 3 Energy Stocks With Over 4% Dividend Yields

<p>Piper Sandler  analyst Mark Lear   maintains APA (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APA#NASDAQ">APA</a>) with a Neutral and lowers the price target from $26 to $23.</p>


Piper Sandler Maintains Neutral on APA, Lowers Price Target to $23

<p>Wall Street began Tuesday&#8217;s session on a weaker note, with major indices slipping after November's robust retail sales report reignited investor concerns that the Federal Reserve might hold back interest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42514008/fed-poised-to-cut-interest-rates-by-0-25-this-week-heres-why-your-focus-should-shift-to-other-signals">rate cuts next year. </a></p>
<p>The data, which underscored resilient consumer spending heading into the holiday season, added a fresh layer of uncertainty to the Fed's future rate path ahead of Wednesday&#8217;s highly awaited December Federal Open Market Committee meeting.</p>
<p>Retail sales surged 0.7% last month, outperforming consensus estimates of a 0.5% increase and marking a notable acceleration from October's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42529956/november-retail-sales-soar-to-11-month-highs-indicate-strong-holiday-season">upwardly revised 0.5% gain. </a></p>
<p>On an annual basis, sales climbed 3.8%, hitting their fastest pace since December 2023. A significant portion of the strength came from auto sales, which soared 2.6% on a monthly basis and by a robust 6.5% year-over-year, highlighting consumers' willingness to make big-ticket purchases in the fourth quarter of the year.</p>
<p>Spending was also robust in other categories. Nonstore retailers, driven by e-commerce activity, posted a 1.8% monthly gain, reflecting the growing dominance of online shopping as the holiday season commenced. Sporting goods, hobby, and book stores registered a 0.9% uptick, showing steady demand for discretionary items.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reaction: Pressure Builds On Equities</h3>
<p>The stronger-than-expected data put equity markets under pressure, as investors recalibrated their expectations for the Fed's next moves. </p>
<p>The S&amp;P 500 index – as tracked by the <strong>SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trus</strong>t (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) – and Dow Jones Industrial Average both fell 0.7%, while the Nasdaq 100 – tracked by the <strong>Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) – slid 0.8%, weighed down by weakness in the chip sector. </p>
<p>Semiconductor stocks led the downturn amid renewed geopolitical tensions after reports surfaced that China is broadening antitrust scrutiny on U.S. chipmakers&#8217; acquisitions in recent years. Last week, Beijing opened an investigation on U.S. chip giant<strong> Nvidia Corp.</strong>&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) 2019 acquisition of Mellanox Technologies.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Investors Face Fed Uncertainty</h3>
<p>The robust retail sales data is the latest in a series of reports—alongside <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/treasuries/24/12/42460477/producer-inflation-rises-more-than-expected-to-3-in-november-cast-shadow-on-further-disinflation-progress">hotter-than-expected inflation prints</a> and upbeat <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42511277/us-services-sector-booms-at-fastest-pace-since-october-2021-business-activity-leaps-to-over-two-year-highs">December Purchasing Managers&#8217; Index surveys</a>—that challenge the case for aggressive rate cuts next year.</p>
<p>While a 25-basis-point reduction at the Fed's policy meeting this week is widely anticipated, the central bank's outlook for 2025 remains in question.</p>
<p>Fed fund futures now suggest an 80% chance the Fed will hold rates steady at its January meeting, while expectations for a March rate cut have softened, with odds slipping to 58% from 60% a day earlier.</p>
<p>Betting-implied odds from CFTC-regulated Kalshi continue to suggest an elevated 92% probability of four cuts next year, yet financial markets now imply only three rate cuts. </p>

<h2>What Are Analyst Ratings?</h2>
<p>Analysts are specialists within banking and financial systems that typically report for specific stocks or within defined sectors. These people research company financial statements, sit in conference calls and meetings, and speak with relevant insiders to determine what are known as analyst ratings for stocks. Typically, analysts will rate each stock once a quarter. </p>
<p>Some analysts publish their predictions for metrics such as growth estimates, earnings, and revenue to provide additional guidance with their ratings. When using analyst ratings, it is important to keep in mind that stock and sector analysts are also human and are only offering their opinions to investors.</p>

<p>트럼프 대통령의 요청이 있으면 사임할 것이냐는 질문에 파월은 "아니오"라고 단호하게 답하며 대통령에게는 연준 의장을 해임할 법적 권한이 없다는 점도 거듭 강조했다.</p>
<p>파월 의장의 발언 이후 12월 금리 인하에 대한 시장 기대치는 75%까지 치솟으며 수요일 선거 이후 하락세를 회복했다. 국채수익률은 급격히 하락하여 10년물 수익률은 10bp 하락한 4.33%로 전날의 급등분을 거의 상쇄했다.</p>
<p>미국 달러는 0.7% 하락했으며, <strong>SPDR Gold Trust</strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GLD</a>)로 추적되는 금 가격은 수요일 3% 하락한 후 목요일에는 1.8% 반등했다.</p>
<p>한편, <strong>비트코인</strong>(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>)은 뉴욕시간 오후 4시 30분에 1% 상승 거래되었으며, 세션 중에 76,990달러로 사상 최고가를 기록했다.</p>

파월 연설 후 미국 증시 사상 최고치, '매그니피센트 세븐' 총 시가총액 17조 달러 돌파

<p>미국의 에너지 대기업들의 주가가 급등하며 2년 만에 가장 강력한 성과를 기록했다. 이는 이란과 이스라엘 간의 중동에서의 갈등 확대에 대한 우려로 원유 가격이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/10/41172781/oil-prices-rally-biden-confirms-us-discussions-with-israel-about-striking-iran-facilities" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">배럴당 75달러</a>로 상승한 데 따른 것이다.</p>
<p>31개의 주요 미국 에너지 회사들을 추적하는 <strong>Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund</strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>)는 이번 주에 놀라운 7.14% 상승률을 기록했다. 이 펀드에는 <b>엑슨 모빌</b>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>)과 <b>쉐브론</b>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>)과 같은 대기업들이 포함되어 있다.</p>
<p>투자자들은 이번 주에 XLE ETF에 거의 3억 달러를 쏟아부었으며, 이는 7월 말 이후 가장 높은 유입액이다.</p>
<p>미국 최대 석유 회사인 엑슨 모빌은 금요일 주가가 주당 125.19달러로 사상 최고가를 기록했다. 이 주식은 6일 연속으로 상승하며 주간에 8% 이상 상승하여 2022년 10월 이후 가장 좋은 성과를 기록했다.</p>
<p>원유 가격은 상승세를 이어갔으며, 서부 텍사스 중질유(WTI)는 4일 연속 상승하여 8월 말 이후 가장 높은 수준에 도달했다. 이스라엘과 이란 간의 지정학적 긴장은 세계 원유 공급 차질에 대한 우려를 촉발했다.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>중동 긴장 고조, 바이든은 신중한 이스라엘 대응 촉구</strong></h3>
<p>이스라엘은 이란이 화요일에 180개 이상의 탄도 미사일을 발사한 후 강력한 보복을 약속했다. 이스라엘의 공중 방어 시스템이 대부분의 미사일을 성공적으로 요격했지만, 이 공격은 이미 높아진 지역 불안을 더욱 악화시켰다.</p>
<p>금요일, <strong>조 바이든</strong> 대통령은 백악관 일일 기자회견에서 격화되는 위기에 대해 언급했다. 그는 이스라엘의 자위권을 언급했지만, 이스라엘이 이란의 탄도미사일 공격에 어떻게 대응할지 아직 결정하지 않았다고 말했다.</p>
<p>바이든은 이스라엘에게 갈등을 더 이상 확대하지 말라고 조언하며, 이스라엘이 보복에서 유전 공격 대신 다른 대안을 고려할 수 있다고 제안했다.</p>
<p>이란의 최고 지도자인 <strong>아야톨라 알리 하메네이</strong>는 공격 이후 처음으로 공개석상에서 이번 공격을 이스라엘의 범죄에 대한 &#8216;합법적 처벌&#8217;이라고 옹호하고, 이 지역에서 이스라엘에 대한 더 큰 저항을 촉구했다고 로이터 통신이 보도했다.</p>
<p>이란 혁명수비대 부사령관도 이스라엘이 이란 영토를 공격하기로 결정하면 이란이 이스라엘 정유소와 가스전을 공격할 수 있다는 엄중한 경고를 발표했다.</p>
