Citigroup's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>) short percent of float has risen 6.49% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 36.83 million shares sold short, which is 1.97% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.5 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>Citigroup Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747152020_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Citigroup 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 Citigroup'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>, Citigroup's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 1.11%, which means the company has more 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>

Spotlight on Citigroup: Analyzing the Surge in Options Activity

Global

Citigroup CEO Jane Fraser, Speaking At Milken Institute Global Conference Says Certainly Been A Fluid Few Weeks; Most Companies Are A Bit In Limbo Land, There's A Wait And See Going On; Most Of Clients Can Absorb 10% Tariffs

FCNCA

Shares of banking companies are trading higher amid overall market strength following April's jobs data and reports that China's Commerce Ministry is assessing possible trade talks with the US.

The chief economic adviser to President Donald Trump, Stephen Miran, reportedly struggled to reassure major bond and hedge fund investors during a meeting last week.
What Happened: Miran, who also heads the Council of Economic Advisers, met with representatives from top hedge funds and other significant investors at the White House on Friday. The meeting was organized amid a period of heightened market instability caused by Trump&#8217;s tariff policies, according to a <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/a815323b-ae2b-4586-aec2-39dec35726f0">Financial Times</a> report. The meeting, arranged by Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>), included representatives from hedge funds Balyasny, Tudor and Kenneth Griffin&#8216;s Citadel, as well as asset managers PGIM and BlackRock Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>).
Several attendees expressed dissatisfaction with the meeting, describing Miran&#8217;s remarks on tariffs and markets as unclear or insufficient. Some even suggested that Miran was not up to the task. Some called him "incoherent"  while some said, he was &#8220;Out of his depth&#8221;. 
"When you're with an audience that knows a lot, the talking points are taken apart pretty quickly,&#8221; a source told Financial Times. 
However, one individual familiar with the meeting expressed optimism about the administration&#8217;s approach to deregulation and tax cuts. 
Earlier this month in a speech at the Hudson Institute, Miran proposed that countries either accept U.S. tariffs on their exports without retaliating or "write cheques to Treasury that help us finance global public goods" as potential solutions.

Why It Matters: The Trump administration&#8217;s policies have led to significant fluctuations in U.S. equity and debt markets. U.S. government bonds experienced a sharp sell-off following the president&#8217;s announcement of steep tariffs on April 2.
Recently, hedge fund manager Spencer Hakimian <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45031287/us-companies-earn-6x-more-in-china-than-they-export-heres-why-blowing-up-global-trade-would-be-economic-suicidesays-leading-fund-manager">criticized the ongoing</a> trade and tariff war, describing it as unprecedentedly &#8220;stupid&#8221;. He highlighted that S&amp;P 500 companies generate nearly $1.17 trillion in annual revenue from China. Meanwhile, some investors have managed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44893887/greenlight-capitals-gold-investments-yield-high-returns-amidst-market-downturn">find success</a> amid the market downturn. Billionaire investor David Einhorn&#8216;s hedge fund, Greenlight Capital, reported an 8.2% return in the first quarter of 2025, significantly outperforming the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s loss of over 4% during the same period.
However, according to most investors, declining long-term bond prices and a weakening dollar indicate that the U.S.&#8217;s status as a safe haven in global markets is facing pressure.
Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Fund ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BND#NASDAQ">BND</a>) climbed 2.24% year-to-date, while iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) rose 3% during the same period.
