Risk aversion dominated Wall Street in the final session of the week, driving <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">sharp losses across major indices</a>.
Investors grappled with growing uncertainties surrounding the economic impacts of Donald Trump's policies and the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates">Federal Reserve&#8217;s next moves.</a>
Fed Chair Jerome Powell's remarks from the previous day weighed heavily on risk assets. Powell signaled no need to lower rates, citing the economy's resilience and emphasizing the importance of fully finishing the inflation jobs. 
Boston Fed President Susan Collins added to the uncertainty on Friday, stating she needs to see additional data before deciding on further rate cuts at the Federal Reserve&#8217;s upcoming policy meeting.
Expectations for a 25-basis-point rate cut in December were significantly scaled back, with odds falling to 59%, down from 82% just a day earlier.
U.S. indices are poised to end the week in negative territory, as optimism fueled by Trump's win fizzled. Tech stocks were hit hardest, with the Nasdaq 100 plunging 2.5%, wiping out its post-election gains. 
Chipmakers tumbled across the board, with the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) reaching a 2-month low, as Applied Materials Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMAT#NASDAQ">AMAT</a>) released a disappointing outlook.
The surge in rate-cut uncertainty and broader economic concerns pushed the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) up by more than 17%, reflecting heightened market fear.
Treasury yields edged lower, indicating a flight to safe-haven bonds. The drop in yields supported the Japanese yen, which ended a four-day losing streak.
The U.S. dollar eased but remains on track for its seventh consecutive week of gains, marking its longest winning streak since September 2023.
Gold prices remained flat despite falling yields and a softer dollar, failing to act as a hedge in a turbulent session. Meanwhile, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) defied the risk-off sentiment, rising 2.5% to $89,600 in a surprising show of strength.

<li>Pricing actions part of balanced approach under "Delivering for America," the Postal Service's 10-year plan for achieving financial sustainability and service excellence.</li>
<li>Rate changes will support the $40 billion of investments in people, technology, and infrastructure and continue the modernization and improvement of the Postal Service's operations and customer experience.</li>
<li>As we previously announced, the Postal Service will not be <a href="https://www.streetinsider.com/entities/Raising+Prices">raising prices</a> in January for our Mailing Services, therefore, the price of a First-Class stamp will remain unchanged.</li>
</ul>
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the Postal Service filed notice with the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) for Shipping Services price changes to take effect January 19, 2025. The proposed adjustments were approved by the Governors of the USPS this week.&nbsp;
The change would raise Shipping Services prices approximately 3.2 percent for Priority Mail service and Priority Mail Express service, 3.9 percent for USPS Ground Advantage and 9.2 percent for Parcel Select.
Although Mailing Services price increases are based on the consumer price index, Shipping Services prices are primarily adjusted according to market conditions. The governors believe these new rates will keep the Postal Service competitive while providing the agency with needed revenue. As we previously announced, the Postal Service will not be raising prices in January for our Mailing Services.
As a strategic part of the <a href="https://about.usps.com/what/strategic-plans/delivering-for-america/?_gl=1&#x2A;63lmng&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTU2OTA3OTA5MC4xNjU2NTIwNTUx&#x2A;_ga_3NXP3C8S9V&#x2A;MTY2NDk4ODA1NS40NDIuMS4xNjY0OTg4MDkyLjAuMC4w">Delivering for America</a> 10-year plan, these proposed changes will support the Postal Service in creating a revitalized organization capable of achieving our public service mission — providing a nationwide, integrated network for the delivery of mail and packages at least six days a week — in a cost-effective and financially sustainable manner over the long term, just as the U.S. Congress has intended.&nbsp;
The PRC will review the changes before they are scheduled to take effect. The complete Postal Service price filing, with prices for all products, can be found on the PRC website under the Daily Listings section at <a href="https://prc.arkcase.com/portal/docket-search/daily-listings">prc.gov/dockets/daily</a>.

<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.

<h3>Comparing Bancorp'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>, Bancorp's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.18%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

In addition to the ASSURE data, Gilead showcased findings from two oral presentations highlighting additional analyses from the Phase 3 RESPONSE trial:
<ul>
<li>At Month 12, the adjusted mean change from baseline in ALP for participants with cirrhosis on Livdelzi was -121.4 U/L (a decrease of approximately 35% from baseline) versus 23.2 U/L (an increase of approximately 6.6%) on placebo.</li>
<li>-134.8 U/L (down 43.5%) for Livdelzi versus -18.0 U/L (a decrease of approximately 5.8%) for placebo in participants without cirrhosis.</li>
<li>A secondary analysis of pruritus in RESPONSE showed that among participants with a numerical rating score (NRS) of ≥4 and NRS ≥7 at baseline, Livdelzi led to near resolution (NRS of 0 or 1) of itch at Month 12 in 26.5% and 18.8% of participants, respectively, versus 0% of participants on placebo.</li>
</ul>
