<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.

Wells Fargo Maintains Underweight on Hanesbrands, Raises Price Target to $4

U.S. stocks rallied Thursday after the Trump administration signed its first major trade agreement with the United Kingdom, igniting optimism about further global deals — especially with China — and lifting investor <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">appetite for riskier assets.</a>
The S&amp;P 500 jumped 1.3% to close at 5,700, led by gains in technology stocks. The Russell 2000 soared 2.1%, outperforming larger-cap counterparts and fully recovering the losses triggered by the April 2 tariff announcement.
Under the deal, the U.S. slashed tariffs on UK-made vehicles from 25% to 10%, granting British carmakers a 100,000-vehicle quota. In return, the UK reduced tariffs on American beef to near-zero levels and pledged to purchase $10 billion worth of Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) aircraft. Trump confirmed that the 10% tariff would remain the baseline for now, though he suggested other nations with large trade surpluses should expect higher rates.
During a press briefing, Trump hinted at the &#8220;biggest tax cuts in history&#8221; and urged investors to act: "You better go out and buy stock. This country will be like a rocket ship," he said.
The president also responded to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, who noted a day earlier he hadn't been invited to meet with Trump. "I could call him from a meeting, but it's like talking to a wall," Trump said. 
"He's always too late [in cutting interest rates]. But in this case, it's not going to matter that much because our country is so strong."
Markets reflected that strength. The U.S. dollar rallied sharply as the new trade deal and reduced economic uncertainty boosted confidence. The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) jumped to its highest level since April 11, climbing over 1% against the Japanese yen.
Treasury yields rose across the curve, with the 10-year yield adding 7 basis points to reach 4.34%.
In commodities, gold prices dropped as investors rotated out of safe havens. The SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>) fell 1.5%, trimming its weekly gains. Oil prices rose 3.5%, with West Texas Intermediate crude topping $60 per barrel.
Crypto markets erupted higher. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) broke above $100,000 for the first time since February, rising 4.1%. Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) surged 13%, while Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) gained 10%.

Wall Street Rallies After US Seals First Trade Deal: 'You Better Go Out And Buy Stock,' Trump Says

Shares of clothing company HanesBrands Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HBI#NYSE">HBI</a>) are trading higher on Thursday after the company reported better-than-expected <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/b45280911/hanesbrands-inc-announces-first-quarter-2025-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">first-quarter 2025</a> earnings.
Sales grew 2.1% year-over-year to $760.148 million, beating the analyst consensus estimate of $752.34 million. Adjusted EPS of 7 cents beat the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">analyst consensus of 2 cents</a>.
U.S. net sales declined 1% year over year as gains in Basics, Active, and New were outweighed by ongoing challenges in Intimate Apparel business. Operating margin rose to 20.9%, up 285 basis points from last year, driven by cost savings, lower input costs, and a better product mix.

International net sales declined 2% on a reported basis due to a $12 million FX headwind but rose 4% in constant currency, with growth in Australia and Asia. Operating margin improved to 11.5%, up 310 basis points, driven by a favorable mix, cost savings, and lower input costs.
Adjusted gross profit also grew 6% to $316 million, with an adjusted gross margin rising 165 basis points to 41.6%, excluding restructuring-related charges.
Adjusted operating profit rose 61% to $81 million, and adjusted operating margin improved 390 basis points to 10.7% compared to last year.
Inventory fell 5% year-over-year to $977 million, aided by better SKU management, lower costs, and stronger sales.
Operating cash outflow was $108 million, compared to an inflow of $26 million last year, due to seasonal inventory builds for back-to-school, while free cash outflow was $119 million, down from an inflow of $6 million.
"We also reiterated our full-year outlook, which now reflects our expected impact from U.S. tariffs, as the current environment presents challenges but also creates real revenue opportunities. We're confident we can fully mitigate the cost headwinds as we have many levers to pull, including further cost reductions and pricing actions,&#8221; commented Steve Bratspies, CEO.
&#8220;We're also actively pursuing new revenue opportunities, which we believe we're in an advantaged position to capture given our western hemisphere supply chain speed and capabilities matched with our strong retailer relationships,&#8221; he added.
Second quarter Outlook: HanesBrands anticipates sales of $970 million against an estimate of $972.50 million. It sees adjusted EPS of $0.18 against an estimate of $0.19.
2025 Outlook: HBI reaffirms sales guidance of $3.47 billion to $3.52 billion versus an estimated $3.50 billion. It sees FY25 adjusted EPS of $0.51 to $0.55 versus the $0.51 estimate.

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.
