CME Group's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CME#NYSE">CME</a>) short percent of float has risen 9.29% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 5.51 million shares sold short, which is 1.53% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.85 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>CME Group Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1743181232_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for CME Group has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing CME Group'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>, CME Group's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.51%, 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>

How Do Investors Really Feel About CME Group?

Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) futures have started trading on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/analyst-ratings/25/03/44221065/a-glimpse-into-the-expert-outlook-on-cme-group-through-12-analysts">Chicago Mercantile Exchange</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CME#NASDAQ">CME</a>) this week, but early activity was underwhelming compared to major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
According to a report by research firm K33, the first day of trading for Solana futures saw a total volume of $12.3 million, with open interest ending at $7.8 million.
This marked a stark contrast to Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) futures, which drew $102.7 million in volume and $20.9 million in open interest during their December 2017 debut on CME. 
Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) fared better too, recording $31 million in trading and $20 million in open interest when its futures launched in February 2021.
K33 analysts Vetle Lunde and David Zimmerman <a href="https://k33.com/research/articles/stabilizing-flow-stabilizing-market">attributed</a> the tepid performance to broader market conditions, noting that Solana's introduction came during a period of muted risk appetite and without the tailwinds of a strong bull market or a rally in alternative cryptocurrencies.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44380265/bitcoin-is-past-the-bull-cycle-peak-top-analyst-warns">Bitcoin Is &#8216;Past The Bull Cycle Peak,&#8217; Top Analyst Warns</a>
&#8220;Although Solana&#8217;s performance appears more reasonable when adjusted for its market capitalization, its absolute figures were far lower than previous futures launches,&#8221; the K33 report stated.
The analysts added that despite the subdued start, the listing does fit a pattern often associated with eventual spot ETF approvals. 
However, they cautioned that Solana's lower trading activity suggests any future ETF tied to the token may have a more modest impact on prices compared to the rally sparked by Bitcoin's spot ETF approval in early 2024.
What&#8217;s Next: The report comes at a time when several altcoin ETFs, including those for Solana, are under review by U.S. regulators.
For now, the futures market signals that institutional demand for Solana has yet to match the enthusiasm seen for Bitcoin and Ethereum during their initial futures rollouts.

CME Gr Q4 2024 Adj. EPS $2.52 Beats $2.44 Estimate, Sales $1.525B Beat $1.519B Estimate

U.S. stock futures fell on Wednesday after a mixed close on Tuesday as Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell began his two-day testimony in front of Congress. All benchmark indices were lower except the Russell 2000.
Traders await the inflation data today as economists and betting markets are predicting a modest inflation report for January, boosting investor optimism that price pressures are easing and the Federal Reserve may continue its path toward interest rate cuts.
The headline consumer price index is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43627524/economists-betting-markets-predict-benign-january-inflation-what-could-go-wrong-this-time">forecasted to remain</a> at 2.9% year-over-year, based on median economist predictions tracked by TradingEconomics. Monthly, inflation is expected to increase by 0.3%, a slight deceleration from December&#8217;s 0.4% rise. 
The 10-year Treasury yield stood at 4.54%, while the two-year yield was at 4.29%. According to the CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>, there is a 95.5% chance that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates unchanged for the March meeting.

Insights From Analysts
Jurrien Timmer, the director of global macros at Fidelity Investments highlighted that strong bull markets tend to &#8220;roar back to life&#8221; after corrections.
He hinted that after the recent pull-back in the market caused by DeepSeek when just 17% of stocks were above their moving average, only 53% of stocks are now above their 50-day moving average. He termed it as a &#8220;weak recovery&#8221;.

However, underscoring U.S. equity fund and exchange-traded fund flows Timmer said &#8220;Sentiment remains quite constructive.&#8221;
&#8220;The sentiment surveys are more two-sided, but investors seem to remain poised for a good year in the markets,&#8221; he added.

According to the analysts at BlackRock, U.S. equities have proved resilient this year, though escalating trade tensions could keep the pressure on in the coming months.
&#8220;Resilient growth, solid corporate earnings, potential deregulation and the AI theme keep us upbeat. Q4 earnings growth has broadened as we expected, with S&amp;P 500 earnings excluding the &#8216;magnificent 7&#8217; stocks up about 5% from a year ago and the consensus eyeing a 10% rise this year, LSEG Datastream data show. We keep our tactical U.S. equity overweight yet watch for triggers for a change, such as earnings losing steam,&#8221; stated BlackRock&#8217;s weekly market note.

연방준비제도(연준)가 기준 금리를 25bp(베이시스 포인트) 인하할지, 50bp 인하할지는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/09/40908202/10-etfs-investors-secretly-bought-before-the-feds-make-or-break-interest-rate-cal" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">수요일 회의 전</a>에 가장 큰 관심사이다. 하지만 대답해야 할 &#8216;더 큰 질문&#8217;이 있다고 그레이트 힐 캐피털(Great Hill Capital)의 토마스 헤이즈(Thomas Hayes)가 벤징가(Benzinga)에 말했다.
그 질문은 일본 중앙은행이 금요일 회의에서 어떤 결정을 내릴 것인가이다. 일본의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/09/40692633/japanese-yen-rallies-on-bank-of-japans-rate-hike-pledge-us-manufacturing-activity-contraction">금리 인상</a>이 특히 기술주에 변동성을 초래했던 것을 기억하기 바란다.
&#8220;연준은 8월에 금리를 인하했어야 했다&#8221;고 헤이즈가 말한다. 대신 일본 중앙은행이 금리를 인상하고 연준은 인상하지 않았다. 그 결과 &#8220;유동성 불일치가 발생하여 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/magnificent-seven">매그니피센트 세븐 주식</a>에서 급격한 매도세를 초래했다.&#8221;
참고: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/24/09/40907441/gold-etfs-poised-for-liftoff-can-the-feds-rate-cut-propel-prices-to-new-heights">금 ETF가 상승할 준비 중: 연준의 금리 인하가 가격을 새로운 정점으로 끌어올릴 수 있을까?</a>
금요일에 일본은행(BoJ)이 금리를 또 다시 인상하고 연준이 25bp만 인하한다면, 더 많은 혼란이 발생할 수 있다고 헤이즈가 예측한다.
연준이 50bp 인하하고 BoJ가 25bp 인상하면 상황은 괜찮을 것이라고 그가 말한다. 마찬가지로 BoJ가 금리를 유지하고 연준이 25bp 인하하면 괜찮을 것이다.
연준의 결정: 최근 3번의 50bp 인하 중, 2020년 3월은 &#8220;아주 잘 작동했다&#8221;고 헤이즈가 회상한다. 2007년 9월과 2001년 1월의 인하는 각각 &#8220;안 좋은 결과&#8221;를 가져왔다.
연방 기금 선물은 50bp 인하의 가능성을 65%로 제시하고 있지만, 헤이즈는 확신하지 못한다.
이런 규모의 인하는 연준이 뒤처지고 있다는 신호를 줄 수 있다. 또한 정치적 동기가 작용하는 듯한 인상을 줄 수 있어, 연준은 이를 피하려 할 것이다. 현재 유효 연방 기금 금리(EFFR)가 5.33%로 인플레이션보다 230bp 이상 높기 때문에, 헤이즈는 통화 정책이 이미 너무 긴축적이라고 생각한다.
헤이즈는 연준이 25bp 인하와 비둘기파적 논평을 함께 발표하고, 11월과 12월에 추가 인하를 시사할 것이라고 예상한다. 시장이 연말까지 100-125bp의 인하를 가격에 반영하고 있는 반면, 헤이즈는 75-100bp 인하의 입장이다.
헤이즈는 또한 3분기 GDP나우(GDPNow)가 2.5% 그리고 2024년 주당순이익(EPS) 성장률이 15%로 추정되는 등 예상보다 강한 성장을 지적했다.
헤이즈는 &#8220;GDP가 2% 이상 성장하는 상황에서는 경기침체를 겪기가 어렵다&#8221;고 말했다.
Hayes는 금리 인하를 앞두고 포지션을 재조정하지 않았다. 그러나 다른 주요 펀드들은 금리 인하 사이클을 앞두고 2분기에 중대한 움직임을 보였다.
다음은 <a href="https://hedgefollow.com/Largest-Hedge-Fund-Buys.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">헤지팔로우(HedgeFollow)</a>에 따른 주요 펀드들의 투자 움직임이다:

S&amp;P 500 기업들 중 약 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/39769910/goldman-sachs-q2-earnings-revenue-and-eps-beat-investment-banking-fees-up-21-hikes-dividend" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">14%가 6월 분기 실적을 발표</a>했으며, 더 넓은 지수를 구성하는 기업들의 혼합 실적 성장률은 여전히 ​​양호하다. 이번 주에는 기술 보고 시즌이 공식적으로 시작될 것이며, 이는 최근 주에 가파른 하락세를 보인 시장의 향방을 잠재적으로 결정할 수 있다.
지난주 주요 사건: 기술주의 실적 시즌은 지난주 칩 장비 제조업체 ASML 홀딩 N.V.(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>)의 실적 발표로 와만하게 시작되었다. 이 회사의 주가는 약한 3분기 전망과 중국 칩 금지를 둘러싼 지정학적 우려로 인해 약 16% 하락했다. 넷플릭스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>)의 지침은 투자자들을 실망시켰지만 증권사 측 분석가들이 결과에 열광하면서 주가는 크게 하락하지 않았다.
투자자들은 뱅크 오브 아메리카(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), 모건 스탠리(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) 및 골드만삭스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) 등 나머지 대형 은행들의 실적 보고서에 환호했다. 투자 은행 사업의 반등과 강력한 트레이딩 매출이 은행들의 매출을 강화하는 데 도움이 되었다.
팩트셋(FactSet)의 최신 실적 전망 조사 <a href="https://advantage.factset.com/hubfs/Website/Resources%20Section/Research%20Desk/Earnings%20Insight/EarningsInsight_071924.pdf">보고서</a>에 따르면 이들 기업 중 80%가 예상보다 높은 주당 이익을 보고했는데, 이는 5년 평균인 77%와 비교된다. 평균 상승 여력은 약 5.5%이지만, 이는 5년 평균 상승률 8.6%보다 낮다.
관련 정보: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-tech-stocks">지금 가장 핫한 기술주</a>
실적 트렌드: 팩트셋에 따르면 S&amp;P 500 기업들의 2분기 혼합 실적 증가율은 현재 9.7%로 전주의 9.1%보다 높아진 것으로 추정된다. 이 추정치가 달성되면 분기 실제 성장률은 2021년 4분기 이후 보고된 전년 동기 대비 가장 높은 성장률을 기록할 것이라고 덧붙였다. 2분기 역시 4분기 연속 성장을 기록할 것으로 보인다.
S&amp;P 500 11개 부문 중 8개 부문이 전년 동기 대비 실적 성장을 기록할 것으로 예상되며, 그 중 통신 서비스, 의료, IT, 금융 부문 4개 부문이 두 자릿수 실적 성장을 기록할 가능성이 높다. 반면, 소재 업종을 중심으로 3개 업종의 실적 감소가 예상된다.
이번 주의 이슈: 이번 주에는 다우 30 지수 구성요소 7개를 포함해 S&amp;P 500 기업 138개 기업들의 실적 보고서가 나올 것이라고 팩트셋의 보고서가 밝혔다. 이번 주의 실적 발표 목록에는 통신, 자동차, 철강, 칩, 주택 건설, 방위, 항공 및 기술 산업의 기업들이 포함된다.
테슬라(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)와 알파벳(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>)은 S&amp;P 500과 나스닥 지수에서 높은 비중을 차지하고 있어 주목받는 기업들 중 하나이다. 테슬라는 전년 동기 대비 주당 순이익이 91센트에서 62센트로 급격히 감소할 것으로 예상되는 반면, 매출은 훨씬 완만하게 0.80% 감소한 247억 3천만 달러를 기록했을 수 있다. 이 이익성에 더 큰 영향을 미치는 것은 일론 머스크의 회사가 어려운 수요 환경에서 생산량을 늘리기 위해 의존해 온 가격 인하에서 비롯된다.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/39810457/as-tesla-stock-bounces-back-fund-manager-says-elon-musk-led-company-offers-good-set">분석가들과 펀드 매니저들은</a> 회사가 해당 분기에 양호한 납품 실적을 보고한 후 낙관적이다. 하반기에도 반전이 있을 것으로 예상된다.
알파벳의 실적은 AI를 활용한 거대 기업들 중 최초로 분기별 실적을 발표하는 기업이기 때문에 중요하며, 이는 나머지 기업들의 실적 속도를 정할 수 있다.
지난주 주요 지수가 사상 최고치에서 후퇴하면서 주식시장이 큰 타격을 입었다. Benzinga Pro 데이터에 따르면 나스닥 100 지수의 성과를 추적하는 지수인 Invesco QQQ Trust(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>)는 금요일 0.89% 하락한 475.24달러에 마감했다. 이 ETF는 7월 10일에 도달한 502.96달러의 사상 최고치보다 낮게 거래되고 있다. SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>)도 금요일 0.66% 하락한 548.99달러로 마감했다.
이번 주 주목할 만한 실적 발표 기업은 다음과 같다:
