Technology stocks, specifically chipmakers, could lead from the front on Thursday as a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41373163/nvidia-supplier-tsmc-reports-q3-revenue-earnings-beat-amid-rising-demand-for-ai-chips"> stellar third-quarter earnings report </a>from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) is triggering positive sentiment toward all artificial intelligence plays. Oil prices have rebounded and gold traded at a fresh record, while bond yields held steady ahead of a slew of market-moving data that include retail sales, a regional manufacturing activity index, industrial production, and jobless claims.
Earnings news could provide an offsetting impact in the eventuality of the market construing the economic data as inclement. Netflix, Inc.

Cues From Last Session:
Small-caps ripped higher on Wednesday, extending their recent gains amid hopes of a benign economic environment but the major averages opened on a tentative note. Solid earnings reports from financial companies and strong gains by real-estate and utility stocks helped the major indices close firmly in the green.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average turned solidly higher immediately after spending the better part of the session above the unchanged line. The 30-stock blue-chip average ended at a fresh high, although it did not have enough momentum to break above its Oct. 15 intraday high of 43,277.78.
The S&amp;P 500 Index and the Nasdaq Composite had a lackluster first-half before picking up momentum in the afternoon. 
Of the 11 S&amp;P 500 sector classes, only communication services and consumer discretionary stocks declined in Wednesday&#8217;s session.

Insights From Analysts:
Delving into the small-cap rally that has been on, LPL Financial Chief Technical Strategist Adam Turnquist said after being stuck in a consolidation phase over the past few months, small-caps have picked up some momentum in recent sessions, with the growth outlook recently improving — underpinned by better-than-feared labor market conditions — and increased visibility into Fed rate cuts, he said.
The strategist noted that the Russell 2,000 Index, or RTY, has rallied off the lower end of its rising price channel. &#8220;Recent strength in the banking space — the RTY's largest sector by weighting — has further supported small caps,&#8221; he said.
Technically, a close above 2,275 would confirm a breakout from its current symmetrical triangle and leave&nbsp;the 2021 highs (2,243)&nbsp;as the next resistance hurdle to clear, Turnquist said, adding that momentum indicators have also recently turned bullish, adding to the evidence of a topside breakout.
&#8220;Despite the improving absolute performance, the RTY vs. S&amp;P 500 ratio chart still remains in a downtrend and below its declining 200-day moving average (DMA),&#8221; he said. A close above the July highs would validate a trend reversal in favor of small caps outperforming, he added.
Meanwhile, a fund manager thinks AI-levered companies could be defensive plays. Louis Navellier said, &#8220;Semiconductor demand has become the new proxy for global growth trends, being incorporated into almost everything, and also has geopolitical implications with technology export controls in place and China continuing to saber rattle about taking Taiwan back.&#8221;
&#8220;The upshot here is the inference that AI will still have legs even if we slide into a global recession in &#8217;25,&#8221; he added.

Upcoming Economic Data:

<li>The Commerce Department will release its September retail sales report at 8:30 a.m. EDT.

This compares to 0.1% increases for both in August.</li>
<li>The Philadelphia Fed is due to release the results of its manufacturing survey at 8:30 a.m. EDT. The diffusion index of business activity is expected to rise from 1.7 in September to 3 in October.</li>

Alcoa, Netflix And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Thursday

Steel Dynamics Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLD#NASDAQ">STLD</a>) shares are trading higher in Wednesday&#8217;s after-hours session on the heels of the company&#8217;s third-quarter financial results. Here&#8217;s a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/n41368536/steel-dynamics-reports-third-quarter-2024-results">rundown of the print</a>.
<ul>
<li>Q3 Revenue: $4.34 billion, versus <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">estimates</a> of $4.177 billion</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Q3 EPS: $2.05, versus estimates of $1.97</li>
</ul>
Steel Dynamics said it shipped 3.2 million tons of steel during the third quarter and generated cash flow from operations of $760 million. The company ended the quarter with $3.1 billion in liquidity.
&#8220;Underlying steel demand continued to be stable in the&nbsp;third quarter. However, earnings declined sequentially, based on lower average realized steel pricing, primarily within the flat rolled operations as generally&nbsp;80 percent&nbsp;of this business is contractually based and tied to lagging pricing indices,&#8221; said Mark Millett, co-founder, chairman and CEO of Steel Dynamics.
&#8220;Steady steel demand, coupled with continued low customer inventory and stabilized scrap prices, resulted in stabilization and improvement in flat-rolled steel prices during the later part of the third quarter. Our long product steel operations realized a slight improvement in metal spread as scrap pricing declined more than average realized pricing.&#8221;

What&#8217;s Next: Steel Dynamics said it&#8217;s &#8220;constructive&#8221; regarding the outlook for the 2025 metals market. The company expects steel prices to recover into 2025. 
&#8220;We believe current trade actions could also reduce volumes of unfairly traded steel imports into the United States, especially for coated flat-rolled steel, which could have a significant positive impact for us,&#8221; the company said.
Steel Dynamics noted it expects to realize additional earnings power in 2025 from the four new flat-rolled steel coating lines that began operating earlier this year. The company also plans to start operating its new aluminum flat-rolled mill in mid-2025.
Management will hold a conference call to discuss these results with investors and analysts Thursday morning at 11 a.m. ET.
STLD Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/stld">Steel Dynamics shares</a> were up 2.43% in after-hours, trading at $133.02 at the time of publication, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Small-cap stocks outperformed large caps in Wednesday's session, with the Russell 2000 Index surging to test July 2024 highs on the back of expectations for interest rate cuts and a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/regional-banks">strong rally in regional banks. </a>
Financial stocks continued their upward momentum, buoyed by strong earnings reports. Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) significantly beat expectations, propelling its stock up by 8% to new all-time highs.
Regional banks, as tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P Regional Banking ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRE#NYSE">KRE</a>), rallied 2.1%, hitting levels last seen in early March 2023, prior to the fallout of Silicon Valley Bank.
Airlines also soared, with United Airlines Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) posting an 11% rally.

The tech sector lagged, weighed down by weak performance in semiconductors. The industry was still reeling from ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>)&#8217;s earnings shock on Tuesday, after the company slashed its 2025 revenue outlook, triggering a broad selloff in chipmakers.
Both the Nasdaq 100 and semiconductor stocks remained flat on Wednesday.
In the currency market, the U.S. Dollar Index was poised to log its 12th positive day in the last 13 sessions. Treasury yields edged lower. Oil prices saw a slight decline of 0.6%, with West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude falling below $70 per barrel.
Precious metals offered positive signals, with gold set to close its fifth consecutive day of gains, while silver rose 0.8%.

Tech Stocks Stall, Small Caps Surge As Regional Banks Rally, Airlines Rocket: What's Driving Markets Wednesday?

U.S. stock futures point to a flattish start on Wednesday after the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41341168/chipmaker-stocks-sink-on-asml-earnings-leak-oil-eyes-worst-1-day-drop-this-year-small-caps-rally">S&amp;P 500 Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average retreated from record highs</a> in the previous session. A rebound by tech stocks could lend support to the market but the absence of any major economic catalysts could render the mood uncertain, potentially leading to a range-bound move. Earnings news, and preannouncements, if any, may also guide the market. Crude oil continues to be weak amid the fluid geopolitical situation, exerting further downward pressure on energy stocks.

Cues From Last Session:
Wall Street pulled back sharply from their record highs on Tuesday as Dutch chip-equipment maker ASML Holdings N.V.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) weak revenue forecast weighed down on the artificial intelligence hardware space and oil&#8217;s plunge hurt energy stocks. The major indices opened on a mixed note after a regional manufacturing survey showed an unexpected contraction. 
The S&amp;P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite indices, which started higher, gave back their gains and fell sharply after ASML&#8217;s early earnings release. They languished below the unchanged line for the rest of the session before ending sharply lower, while the Dow was in the red throughout the session.
Healthcare stocks also pulled back strongly, while real-estate stocks ended firmer during the session.

Given the bull market has progressed beyond the second year, more gains could follow, according to Carson Group&#8217;s Chief Market Strategist Ryan Detrick. &#8220;Going back 50 years, if a bull market makes it past it&#8217;s 2nd birthday (like this one) that is a great sign many more years could be left in the tank,&#8221; he said. 
&#8220;Five bull markets made it this far and the shortest was at least 5 years old when it ended,&#8221; he added.

Steel Dynamics's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLD#NYSE">STLD</a>) short percent of float has fallen 5.79% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 4.46 million shares sold short, which is 3.58% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.4 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/">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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Steel Dynamics has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Steel Dynamics'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://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Steel Dynamics's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.43%, which means the company has less 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/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>
