<p>The S&amp;P 500, tracked by the <strong>SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), hit fresh record highs during Tuesday morning trading and closed up 0.04%, marking its seventh consecutive day of gains, just ahead of the Federal Reserve&#8217;s highly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates">anticipated interest rate decision.</a></p>

<p>The performance of the index tracking the largest 500 U.S. companies by market capitalization was in line with other major indices. The <strong>Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which tracks the tech-heavy Nasdaq, and the <strong>SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>) both closed broadly flat for the day.</p>
<p>However, small-cap stocks outperformed their larger counterparts, as the <strong>iShares Russell 2000 ETF </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>) finished 0.8% higher.</p>
<p>Policymakers gathered on Tuesday for the two-day Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, with the interest rate decision expected on Wednesday at 2:00 p.m. ET.</p>
<p>Market expectations are mixed, with CME FedWatch data indicating a 65% chance of a 50-basis-point rate cut and a 35% chance of a smaller 25-basis-point cut. This level of uncertainty is unusual on the eve of a Fed decision.</p>
<p>Expectations for a larger rate cut fell slightly after August retail sales came in stronger than anticipated. Retail sales increased by 0.1% month-over-month, decelerating from July&#8217;s robust 1.1% growth but beating forecasts of a 0.2% decline.</p>
<p>The unexpected strength in consumer spending has cast some doubt on the need for a significant rate cut to support the economy.</p>
<p>An overwhelming consensus among Wall Street analysts anticipates a 25-basis-point cut, yet JPMorgan Chase stands among the outliers predicting a 50-basis-point reduction.</p>

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning United Rentals Stock In The Last 10 Years

The company recently reported that it has <strong>2.57 million shares sold short</strong>, which is 4.41% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, <strong>it would take traders 3.4 days to cover their short positions on average.</strong></p>
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
