<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.

The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42667932/did-vladimir-putin-just-ban-bitcoin-mining-in-russia-the-devil-is-in-the-details">Bank of Russia</a> has proposed allowing a limited group of qualified investors to purchase and sell cryptocurrencies under a new three-year experimental legal regime.
What Happened: Announced on Wednesday in accordance with President Vladimir Putin's directives, the initiative targets "particularly qualified" investors—individuals with over 100 million rubles ($1.02 million) in securities and deposits or annual income exceeding 50 million rubles ($510,000)—and companies already classified as qualified investors.
This <a href="https://cbr.ru/press/event/?id=23448">move</a>, detailed in a submission to the Russian government, contrasts with the country's historical reluctance to adopt Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) as a reserve asset, as reaffirmed by Deputy Finance Minister Vladimir Kolychev.
The Bank of Russia emphasized that cryptocurrencies, lacking issuance or guarantees from any jurisdiction and driven by mathematical algorithms, are subject to significant volatility. 
"Investors, when deciding to invest in cryptocurrencies, must be aware that they are taking on the risks of potential loss of their funds," the bank stated in its proposal.

Why It Matters: This development follows Putin's December 2024 assertion that "nobody can ban Bitcoin," highlighting the decentralized nature of the technology, though his administration has historically prioritized stability over crypto adoption.
In 2021, Putin noted, "Bitcoin has value, but it's too unstable for oil trade," a stance echoed by Kolychev, who last week told Interfax that the National Wealth Fund (NWF), valued at 11.97 trillion rubles ($122.09 billion) as of Feb. 1 will continue favoring gold (40%) and yuan (up to 60%) over Bitcoin due to its volatility.
"From a sovereign budget reserve perspective, it is crucial that the fund's assets are highly liquid and can be quickly sold without significant loss in value," Kolychev said, reinforcing Russia's cautious approach despite its 5.6% GDP allocation falling below the 7-10%<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44170204/vladimir-putin-said-nobody-can-ban-bitcoin-but-russia-isnt-looking-to-follow-donald-trumps-push-for-a-crypto-reserve"> threshold for riskier assets.</a>

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is sending praise and thanks to a restaurant company that is embracing his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/restaurants/25/02/44059763/rfk-jr-applauds-this-restaurant-chains-move-fries-will-be-rfkd">Make America Healthy Again mantra.</a>
What Happened: Kennedy recently traveled to a Steak ‘n Shake restaurant to try their French fries, which are now cooked in beef tallow, a food item he has encouraged restaurants to switch to.
The Health and Human Services Secretary joined Fox News host Sean Hannity for an interview at a Florida restaurant location where he told the newscaster consumers were "raving" about the French fries.
"Steak ‘n Shake just switched out, and people are raving about these French fries," Kennedy said.
The restaurant company, which is owned by Biglari Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BH#NYSE">BH</a>), recently announced it was switching from seed oils to beef tallow at all locations.
"It's a completely different experience," Kennedy said of the fries. "Steak and Shake has been great. We're very grateful to them for RFKing the French fries."
Kennedy ate a double cheeseburger and fries during the interview with Hannity and discussed the negatives of seed oils and positives of beef tallow, as <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/03/10/us-news/robert-f-kennedy-jr-thanks-fast-food-chain-steak-n-shake-for-rfking-french-fries/">reported </a>by the New York Post.

</figure>
"Seed oil is one of the components of processed foods, and all the science indicates that ultra-processed foods are the principal culprit in this extraordinary explosion – the epidemic we have of chronic disease."
Kennedy has said that he doesn't want to outright ban seed oils and processed foods, instead choosing to "incentivize" companies to transition away.
"People should be able to make their own choice. If you want to eat a donut, or seed oils, you should be able to."
Kennedy said people should know what the product is and what's in the food and the potential health impacts to make an "informed choice."
During the interview, Kennedy also mentioned several other restaurants that have switched from seed oils or are in the process of switching including Sweetgreen (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SG#NYSE">SG</a>), Buffalo Wild Wings, Bloomin' Brands (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLMN#NASDAQ">BLMN</a>) owned Outback Steakhouse and Restaurant Brands International (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QSR#NYSE">QSR</a>) owned Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen.
"We want to do everything that we can to incentivize these companies to be transparent, to switch over from ultra-processed food, and to be part of this movement to make America healthier," Kennedy said.

</ul>
Why It's Important: A quick look at Steak ‘n Shake's X account shows the restaurant is embracing the attention it is getting from Kennedy, conservative voices and Republican members of Congress. 
"I just had a cheeseburger and fries cooked in beef tallow today for lunch!" a <a href="https://x.com/mtgreenee/status/1899280958508974211">tweet </a>from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) reads that was shared by the restaurant.
Steak ‘n Shake originally embraced the change and the attention it was getting by saying, "fries will be RFK'd!" in reference to Kennedy.
Social media <a href="https://x.com/SteaknShake/status/1898422332567298089">posts </a>show hats that say "Make America Healthy Again" and images of vehicles that look like Tesla vehicles, a potential reference to the EV company that is led by Donald Trump-ally Elon Musk.
Musk previously supported Kennedy's praise for the beef tallow switch by the restaurant saying "the fries taste way better" with this cooking method.
While the move to go all in on embracing Kennedy and one political side could be a move that could backfire, Steak ‘n Shake's current social media strategy and the attention it got from Kennedy's recent interview appears to be paying off.
Google trends <a href="https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?geo=US&amp;q=steak%20n%20shake&amp;hl=en">data </a>shows searches for Steak ‘n Shake at a 12-month high with an increased number of searches for "steak n shake beef tallow fries" and "steak n shake beef tallow" being done.
Future financials for the restaurant chain will show if the food cooking method switch and social media strategy paid off for Biglari Holdings shareholders.

The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/magnificent-seven">market&#8217;s biggest tech giants</a>, often referred to as the Magnificent Seven, collectively added over $250 billion in market capitalization during Wednesday morning trading. 
Investors piled back into high-growth stocks following the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44274165/inflation-cools-more-than-expected-in-february-strengthens-the-case-for-fed-rate-cuts">softer-than-expected inflation report. </a>
The elite tech group of stocks was in free fall just days ago, down more than 20% from their highs and officially entering a bear market. Since its December 2024 market cap peak of over $17 trillion, Magnificent Seven has shed $3.3 trillion value in recent weeks.
The question now: Is this a true turnaround, or just a temporary relief rally?
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Investors Rush To Buy Magnificent 7 As Inflation Cools</h3>
The catalyst for the dramatic rebound was February's Consumer Price Index report, which showed inflation cooling faster than expected. 
Headline CPI eased to 2.8% year-over-year, down from 3%, and core CPI slipped from 3.2% to 3.1%, also below forecasts.
The outcome led markets to ramp up bets that the Federal Reserve may soon resume cutting interest rates. With inflation cooling, the CME FedWatch Tool shows traders fully pricing in three rate cuts by year-end.
That was enough to trigger a wave of dip-buying in the battered Magnificent Seven, a group that had entered a technical bear market earlier this week after the Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF plunged 22% year-to-date.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Magnificent Seven Rebound: Nvidia, Tesla Rally</h3>
The total market capitalization change for the Magnificent Seven stocks by 10:30 a.m. ET Wednesday is $258 billion.
