Shares of financial companies are trading lower amid overall market weakness following the Fed's rate decision to cut rates by 25 basis points.

The global fund managers increased their allocation to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42527883/top-3-financial-stocks-which-could-rescue-your-portfolio-for-december">financial stocks</a>, which include both banks and insurance companies, to an all-time high in December.
What Happened: According to the Bank of America&#8217;s Global Fund Manager Survey, as reported <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/investors-allocation-to-us-stocks-hits-record-high-amid-super-bullish-sentiment-bofa-survey-164349535.html">by</a> Yahoo Finance, investors&#8217; allocation to banks increased by 23% points in December compared to the previous month. This resulted in global fund managers being 41% overweight on banking stocks in December, which is the highest since January 2022.
Similarly, the allocation to insurance companies surged by 15% points month-on-month. This represented an overweight position of 20% within the sectors by the global fund managers. It is the highest since February 2014.
Furthermore, the investor positioning relative to their historical long-term positions increased within the financial universe, followed by the U.S. stocks and utilities, according to the BofA survey.
The investors were underweight with respect to their exposure to cash, Eurozone stocks, staples, and bonds.

What Are The Analysts Saying
Mario Georgiou, executive director, head of investments at InCred Global Wealth U.K., in an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42158682/donald-trumps-win-positive-for-financials-energy-sector-as-pro-growth-effects-will-outweigh-inflationary-pressures-says-analyst">exclusive conversation with Benzinga</a>, described tax cuts and deregulation as tailwinds to the markets. He considers inflationary policies such as tariffs and immigration impacts as headwinds, leading to a steepening yield curve, and higher term premiums.
"Financials offer an attractive risk-reward and that this recent post-election rally has room to run," added Georgiou. According to him "Financials are not only well positioned to capture the benefits of the above-mentioned Trump tailwinds, but are also less impacted / would even benefit from the Trump headwinds."
Bank of America's global economics team recently summarized the sentiment, stating, "Pro-growth policies like deregulation of financial services and energy, as well as lower taxes, are boosting market sentiment and asset prices."
According to Goldman Sachs analyst Richard Ramsden, large-cap banks remain optimistic about the economy. &#8220;Healthy consumer spending trends and strong corporate balance sheets have supported a constructive outlook,&#8221; Ramsden said in a recent note.
The top-performing financial stocks of 2024 include Robinhood Markets, Interactive Brokers Group, Coinbase Global, KKR &amp; Co, and Wells Fargo.

Looking At Blackstone's Recent Unusual Options Activity

Blackstone shares are trading higher after the company announced a financing deal worth over $1 billion to support the recapitalization of jet support services inc. Additionally, the company may be moving on continued strength after TD Cowen upgraded the stock from Hold to Buy yesterday and along with Barclays raised their respective price targets.

Funds managed by Blackstone have now provided over $1.8 billion of debt financing and an investment in the common equity in a series of financings for JSSI, a portfolio company of leading private equity firms GTCR and Genstar Capital.

Qraft Technologies, a South Korean fintech backed by SoftBank, has significantly increased its investment in Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>). This decision follows a nearly 40% surge in Tesla&#8217;s shares in November, despite a less-than-stellar Robotaxi event in October.
What Happened: The fintech firm, which manages approximately $50 million across three ETFs, utilizes AI-driven strategies to rebalance its portfolio monthly. Its largest ETF, AMOM, which employs a momentum-factor investing strategy, raised its Tesla holdings from 6.55% to 7.95% in December. This strategy focuses on stocks with strong past performances, betting on their continued growth, Barron&#8217;s <a href="https://www.barrons.com/articles/ai-robot-stock-trader-tesla-eed352d8">reported</a> on Monday.
AMOM&#8217;s strategy seems to align with recent political developments, as CEO&nbsp;Elon Musk&nbsp;is expected to co-lead a government cost-cutting initiative under&nbsp;Donald Trump&#8217;s&nbsp;anticipated administration. The fund has also adjusted its portfolio to include other &#8220;Trump trades&#8221;&nbsp;such as financials, energy, and&nbsp;utilities.

These adjustments include new positions in Blackstone Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BX#NYSE">BX</a>), KKR &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KKR#NYSE">KKR</a>), Texas Pacific Land Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TPL#NYSE">TPL</a>), and Vistra Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VST#NYSE">VST</a>). As of November&#8217;s end, AMOM returned 38% in 2024, slightly outperforming the iShares US Momentum ETF. Meanwhile, Qraft&#8217;s QRFT fund, which employs a defensive strategy, matched the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s 26% rise.
Why It Matters: Recently, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42383750/elon-musk-mocks-tesla-shorts-after-stock-hits-400-in-overnight-trading-on-robinhood">Tesla&#8217;s stock hit $400</a> in overnight trading on Robinhood, prompting CEO Elon Musk to mock short sellers. This reflects the volatile nature of Tesla&#8217;s stock and the confidence investors have in its potential growth.
Meanwhile, the anticipated policies of the Trump administration, such as tax cuts and deregulation, are expected to benefit sectors like energy, oil, and gas. According to Yogesh Kansal, chief business officer at Appreciate, these measures could lead to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42383725/trump-administrations-deregulation-efforts-to-lift-energy-oil-and-gas-sectors-ai-frenzy-to-aid-faang-stocks-and-nvidia-says-fintech-insider">higher corporate earnings</a>, further fueling market rallies. However, potential challenges such as increased labor costs due to immigration policies and tariffs could impact profitability and stock prices.

Blackstone's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BX#NYSE">BX</a>) short percent of float has fallen 13.7% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 17.00 million shares sold short, which is 2.33% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 5.36 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.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1732725021_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Blackstone 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 Blackstone'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>, Blackstone's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.30%, 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/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Coinbase Global (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>): The cryptocurrency company is seeing strong interest as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) continues to smash through new all-time highs and near the $100,000 level. 
The rising valuation of other cryptocurrencies could also help offset concerns from Coinbase's recently reported third quarter, which saw revenue and earnings per share miss Street estimates. Trading volume and transaction revenue were down 18% and 27% quarter-over-quarter respectively in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41637702/coinbase-q3-earnings-highlights-revenue-miss-eps-miss-transaction-revenue-falls-from-q2">the third quarter</a>. 
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42131449/with-gary-gensler-preparing-to-quit-in-2025-secs-crypto-cases-likely-to-quietly-go-away-amid-trumps-pro-bitcoin-stance-says-pantera-capitals-katrina-paglia">pro-crypto</a> stance of the incoming Trump administration also boosted interest in cryptocurrency-related companies like Coinbase.
Coinbase stock was up on the week, but trailed the 9.5% gains of Bitcoin. Coinbase stock is up 93.5% year-to-date in 2024, also trailing the year-to-date 122.5% gains for Bitcoin.
