<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>Comparing M&amp;T Bank'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>, M&amp;T Bank's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.96%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Insights From Analysts:
Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood said that she sees a &#8220;light at the end of the tunnel,&#8221; despite the ongoing<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44807265/cathie-wood-says-shock-therapy-from-trumps-trade-moves-may-end-prolonged-economic-slump"> tariff turmoil</a>. According to Wood, tariffs could be the catalyst to end a three-year "rolling recession."
She said that Trump&#8217;s decision to bring Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent into the process indicates a move to reduce both tariffs and non-tariff trade obstacles. She contends this shift wouldn&#8217;t have occurred without the initial &#8220;shock therapy&#8221; of aggressive trade measures.
The slowdown caused by the tariff introduction will give the administration and the Federal Reserve "more degrees of freedom to stimulate than most investors have been expecting,&#8221; she said.
This will create a "clarion call" for tax cuts, deregulation, and lower interest rates, ultimately paving the way for economic recovery, Wood added.

The analysts at BlackRock extended their tactical horizon back to six to 12 months and resumed their positive view on U.S., while still expecting the &#8220;ongoing risk asset volatility and potentially sharp reversals.&#8221;
Spiking yields in long-term U.S. Treasuries seemed to be a factor in the change in tariff tactics, the weekly note stated.
&#8220;We stay underweight long-term Treasuries, our highest conviction view: tariffs are likely to add to already sticky inflation, and congressional budget plans last week reinforce the outlook for persistent budget deficits. We favor gold instead as a portfolio diversifier.&#8221;
According to BlackRock, the broad-based equity selloff has created opportunities to tap into certain sectors, and &#8220;selectivity is key.&#8221;
&#8220;We still like U.S. technology benefitting from the AI buildout and adoption. We also favor global banks. That includes U.S. banks given the scope for deregulation even with some potential economic pain.&#8221;

US Stock Futures Waver After Two-Day Rally: Trump's Tariff Moves Could End A 3-Year 'Rolling Recession,' Says Expert

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed almost no change in the overall fear level, while the index remained in the &#8220;Extreme Fear&#8221; zone on Monday.
U.S. stocks settled higher on Monday, with the Dow Jones index gaining more than 300 points during the session. Over the weekend, the White House announced a provisional exemption for smartphones and semiconductors from China's proposed 145% trade tariff. These items will instead face a 20% levy—linked to fentanyl-related enforcement—until sector-specific duties are finalized.
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) shares rose 2.2%, while Dell Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>) shares gained around 4%. The Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLK) rose about 1% on Monday.
The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) posted better-than-expected earnings for its first quarter. M&amp;T Bank Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTB#NYSE">MTB</a>) posted weaker-than-expected earnings for its first quarter.
Despite significant volatility last week, all three major averages recorded gains during the period. The S&amp;P 500 gained 5.7% to record its best week since November 2023, while the Nasdaq jumped 7.3%, notching its best week since November 2022. The Dow also jumped around 5% last week.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a positive note, with real estate, utilities and consumer staples stocks recording biggest gains on Monday. However, consumer discretionary stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session lower.
The Dow Jones closed higher by around 312 points to 40,524.79 on Monday. The S&amp;P 500 rose 0.79% to 5,405.97, while the Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.64% at 16,831.48 during Monday's session.
Investors are awaiting earnings results from Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>), United Airlines Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) and Bank of America Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) today.
At a current reading of 19.4, the index remained in the &#8220;Extreme Fear&#8221; zone on Monday, versus a prior reading of 19.4.
What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of loans outstanding increased from 1.61% at December 31, 2024 to 1.63% at March 31, 2025 reflecting a modest deterioration in the macroeconomic forecasts. Net charge-offs totaled $114 million in 2025's first quarter as compared with $160 million in 2024's final quarter and $138 million in the year-earlier quarter, representing .34%, .47% and .42%, respectively, of average loans outstanding.

However, the Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick indicated these <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/04/44783093/mark-cuban-examines-trumps-tariff-exemptions-rationale-on-electronics-thats-billions-of-revenue-for-the-usa">electronics exemptions are temporary</a>, and further tariffs could follow soon. Investors also assessed the upbeat bank earnings and cooler-than-expected inflation data.
The 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.46% and the two-year bond was at 3.92%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool&#8217;s </a>projections show markets pricing a 79.3% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its May meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
According to Louis Navellier of Navellier &amp; Associates, given the severe selling in the stock market and high trading volume, &#8220;it appears that much of the selling pressure is starting to be exhausted.&#8221;
&#8220;There is no doubt that there will be ripple effects from the Trump Administration's trade war with China. It is imperative that the velocity of money picks up if news breaks on tariffs diminishing and/or the Fed cutting key interest rates,&#8221; he added.
Amid the growing trade tensions between the U.S. and China, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) cut its targets for key Chinese stock indexes for a second time this month.
According <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-14/goldman-sachs-cuts-targets-for-china-stocks-second-time-in-april#:~:text=The%20Goldman%20team%20trimmed%20its,to%20soften%20the%20trade%20shock.">to</a> Bloomberg, "U.S.-China trade tensions have soared to unprecedented levels, prompting concerns about global recession, and decoupling risks between the two largest economies globally in other strategic cohorts, notably capital markets, technology, and geopolitics," a team led by Kinger Lau wrote in a note Monday. 
Analysts reduced 12-month price targets for the MSCI China Index to 75 from 81 and the CSI 300 Index to 4,300 from 4,500 points, suggesting potential gains of 12% and 15% respectively based on Friday&#8217;s closing prices.
Meanwhile, Wedbush Securities&#8217; Dan Ives described the exclusion of smartphones and chips from China tariffs as the &#8220;dream scenario&#8221; for tech investors, stating that it&#8217;s a &#8220;game changer.&#8221;

Earnings Scheduled For April 14, 2025

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed easing in the overall fear level, while the index remained in the &#8220;Extreme Fear&#8221; zone on Friday.
U.S. stocks settled higher on Friday, with the Dow Jones index gaining more than 600 points during the session as investors welcomed upbeat bank earnings and cooler-than-expected inflation data, while largely shrugging off trade war concerns after China raised tariffs on U.S. goods to 125%.
Producer prices cooled to 2.7% year-over-year in March, well below the 3.3% consensus, while the monthly figure declined by 0.4% — the steepest drop since 2023.
JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) reported better-than-expected first-quarter EPS and revenues. Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) reported a first-quarter 2025 EPS of $2.60, up from $2.02 a year ago and beating the consensus of $2.21.
Despite significant volatility last week, all three major averages recorded gains during the period. The S&amp;P 500 gained 5.7% to record its best week since November 2023, while the Nasdaq jumped 7.3%, notching its best week since November 2022. The Dow also jumped around 5% last week.
All sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a positive note, with energy, information technology, and materials stocks recording the biggest gains on Friday.
The Dow Jones closed higher by around 619 points to 40,212.71 on Friday. The S&amp;P 500 rose 1.81% to 5,363.36, while the Nasdaq Composite climbed 2.06% to 16,724.46 during Friday's session.
Investors are awaiting earnings results from The Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>), M&amp;T Bank Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTB#NYSE">MTB</a>), and Pinnacle Financial Partners Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PNFP#NASDAQ">PNFP</a>) today.
What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
At a current reading of 12.7, the index remained in the &#8220;Extreme Fear&#8221; zone on Friday, versus a prior reading of 8.3.
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.
