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.

Hurricane Francine, currently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40259269/storm-debby-headed-for-nyc-highly-populated-areas-as-catastrophic-flooding-persists">approaching Louisiana&#8217;s coast</a>, is expected to make landfall in the late afternoon and early evening as a Category 1 storm.
The storm&#8217;s northern eyewall was about 95 miles southwest of Morgan City, Louisiana at 2 p.m. ET. NBC News reports sustained wind speeds of 90 miles per hour as it moves northeast at 16 miles per hour.
Francine may develop into a Category 2 storm with winds between 96 and 110 miles per hour, according to meteorologists. It&#8217;s expected to reach land between Avery Island and Houma, Louisiana between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. ET.

Hurricane Francine is likely to make landfall between Avery Island and Houma, Louisiana, between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. ET Wednesday.
A hurricane warning is in effect across most of the Louisiana coastline, while a storm surge warning covers the area from High Island, near Houston, all the way to the Mississippi and Alabama border.
A state of emergency has been declared by the governors of both Louisiana and Mississippi, with many local leaders ordering or strongly recommending that towns and cities evacuate low-lying, coastal areas.
Flights from New Orleans International Airport were canceled at 12 p.m. ET.
President Joe Biden approved an emergency declaration for Louisiana, making federal disaster assistance available to the state, the Federal Emergency Management Agency said Wednesday.
&#8220;The President's action authorizes FEMA to coordinate disaster relief efforts to alleviate the hardship and suffering caused by the emergency on the local population and to provide appropriate assistance to save lives, to protect property, public health and safety and to lessen or avert the threat of a catastrophe in the designated areas,&#8221; the agency said.

$1000 Invested In This Stock 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth $7,100 Today

Designed to provide broad exposure to the Energy ETFs category of the market, the First Trust Energy AlphaDEX ETF (ARCA:FXN) is a smart beta exchange traded fund launched on 05/08/2007.
<h2>What Are Smart Beta ETFs?</h2>
Products that are based on market cap weighted indexes, which are strategies designed to reflect a specific market segment or the market as a whole, have traditionally dominated the ETF industry.
Market cap weighted indexes work great for investors who believe in market efficiency. They provide a low-cost, convenient and transparent way of replicating market returns.
On the other hand, some investors who believe that it is possible to beat the market by superior stock selection opt to invest in another class of funds that track non-cap weighted strategies--popularly known as smart beta.
This kind of index follows this same mindset, as it attempts to pick stocks that have better chances of risk-return performance; non-cap weighted strategies base selection on certain fundamental characteristics, or a mix of such characteristics.
Even though this space provides many choices to investors--think one of the simplest methodologies like equal-weighting and more complicated ones like fundamental and volatility/momentum based weighting--not all have been able to deliver first-rate results.
<h2>Fund Sponsor &amp; Index</h2>
FXN is managed by First Trust Advisors, and this fund has amassed over $478.36 million, which makes it one of the larger ETFs in the Energy ETFs. This particular fund, before fees and expenses, seeks to match the performance of the StrataQuant Energy Index.
The StrataQuant Energy Index is a modified equal-dollar weighted index designed by the AMEX to objectively identify and select stocks from the Russell 1000 Index that may generate positive alpha relative to traditional passive style indices through the use of the AlphaDEX screening methodology.
<h2>Cost &amp; Other Expenses</h2>
Investors should also pay attention to an ETF&#39;s expense ratio. Lower cost products will produce better results than those with a higher cost, assuming all other metrics remain the same.
Operating expenses on an annual basis are 0.62% for this ETF, which makes it on par with most peer products in the space.
The fund has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 2.02%.
<h2>Sector Exposure and Top Holdings</h2>
Most ETFs are very transparent products, and disclose their holdings on a daily basis. ETFs also offer diversified exposure, which minimizes single stock risk, though it&#39;s still important for investors to research a fund&#39;s holdings.
This ETF has heaviest allocation in the Energy sector - about 99.10% of the portfolio.
Looking at individual holdings, Valero Energy Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/vlo#NYSE">VLO</a>) accounts for about 4.23% of total assets, followed by Matador Resources Company (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mtdr#NYSE">MTDR</a>) and Nov Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nov#NYSE">NOV</a>).
Its top 10 holdings account for approximately 39.22% of FXN&#39;s total assets under management.
<h2>Performance and Risk</h2>
The ETF has gained about 1.68% so far this year and is down about -4.04% in the last one year (as of 09/04/2024). In the past 52-week period, it has traded between $15.73 and $19.35.
The fund has a beta of 1.61 and standard deviation of 28.88% for the trailing three-year period, which makes FXN a high risk choice in this particular space. With about 41 holdings, it has more concentrated exposure than peers.
<h2>Alternatives</h2>
First Trust Energy AlphaDEX ETF is an excellent option for investors seeking to outperform the Energy ETFs segment of the market. There are other ETFs in the space which investors could consider as well.
Vanguard Energy ETF (ARCA:VDE) tracks MSCI US Investable Market Energy 25/50 Index and the Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF (ARCA:XLE) tracks Energy Select Sector Index. Vanguard Energy ETF has $8.22 billion in assets, Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF has $36.48 billion. VDE has an expense ratio of 0.10% and XLE charges 0.09%.
Investors looking for cheaper and lower-risk options should consider traditional market cap weighted ETFs that aim to match the returns of the Energy ETFs.

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.

올해 초부터 S&amp;P 500 내에서 상위 10위 안에 에너지 기업이 3곳 포함되어 있으며, 이는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-energy-stocks">2023년 에너지 부문의 하향 성과</a>에 비해 상당한 패러다임 전환을 나타낸다.
올해 초부터 에너지 주식의 과세익을 이루어낸 가장 중요한 요인 중 하나는 원유 가격의 급격한 상승이다.
U.S. 원유 펀드(United States Oil Fund) (ARCA: <a class="items-end ticker-link-wrapper inline-flex" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/uso" target="_blank" rel="dofollow noopener" aria-label="Go to Quote Page for USO">USO</a>)가 추적하는 서부 텍사스 중질유(WTI)는 올해 들어 20% 상승했다. 이 상승은 수요 증가, 제한된 OPEC+ 공급 및 중동에서의 긴장 증가(특히 이스라엘과 이란 사이)와 같은 여러 요인의 결합으로 볼 수 있다.
미국 에너지 정보청(EIA)의 최신 예측에 따르면, 2024년 2분기에는 브렌트 원유 현물 가격이 이전 예측보다 2달러 높은 1배럴 당 90달러로 예상된다.
2024년 평균 가격에 대한 예측은 1배럴 당 89달러이다. 이 상승은 이 분기에 국제 원유 재고가 상당히 감소하고 있으며 지속적인 지정학적 불확실성이 예상되기 때문에 EIA가 기대하는 것이다.
또한 소매 휘발유 가격은 2024년에 평균 1갤런 당 3.60달러로 예상되며, 이는 이전 예측인 1갤런 당 3.50달러보다 높다.
2024년 4월 9일 현재, 에너지 선택 섹터 SPDR 펀드(EnergySelect Sector SPDR Fund) (ARCA: <a class="items-end ticker-link-wrapper inline-flex" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xle" target="_blank" rel="dofollow noopener" aria-label="Go to Quote Page for XLE">XLE</a>)는 올해 들어 16% 상승하여 다른 모든 S&amp;P 500 섹터를 능가하고 있다.

2024년 유가가 $90에 도달함에 따라 3개의 에너지 주식이 S&P 500의 상위 10개 주식에 포함

금값은 온스당 2,300달러를 넘어 사상 최고치를 기록하며 또 한 주를 마감했다. 3월 일자리 보고서가 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/24/04/38108835/us-labor-market-heats-up-in-march-payrolls-grow-by-303-000-highest-in-10-months-dampen-rate-c">예상보다 더 뜨거워</a>진 후에도 요는 여전히 높다.
금은 이번 주 금리 우려에 대한 일반적인 민감도에서 벗어나 인상적인 회복력을 보였다.
금은 금리 인하가 시장 예상만큼 신속하게 실현되지 않을 수도 있다는 다수의 연방준비제도(연준) 총재들의 경고에도 불구하고 지난 7년 동안 6주 동안 4% 상승하며 상승세를 기록했다.
금은 또한 이번 세션에서 주목할만한 1.5% 상승을 보여 귀금속에 대한 전통적인 거시적 역풍에도 불구하고 인상적인 강인함과 탄력성을 강조했다.
금 가격이 전례 없는 수준으로 치솟으면서 광산주들은 한동안 볼 수 없었던 강세를 경험하고 있다.
반에크 골드 광산 ETF(VanEck Gold Miners ETF) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDX#NYSE">GDX</a>) 는 지난 9일 중 8일이 상승세를 보였으며, 이로써 2023년 5월 이후의 최고치를 갱신했다.
뉴몬트 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEM#NYSE">NEM</a>) &#8211; 세계 최대 규모의 금 광산업체이자 GDX의 핵심 기업 &#8211; 는이번 주에 10% 이상 급등하여 S&amp;P 500 주식 중 가장 견고한 성과와 13개월 만에 최고의 한 주를 보여주었다.
차트: 뉴몬트, 2023년 3월 이후 최고 실적 주간 기록
