President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s move to impose 25% tariffs on Canada can thwart the growth of the stock markets and affect corporate profits, inflation, transportation and oil marketing companies.
What Happened: This comes as Goldman Sachs head of commodities research, Daan Struyven told <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-27/goldman-sees-significant-hit-to-us-from-trump-s-canada-tariffs">Bloomberg </a>that &#8220;The 25% levy on all products from Canada proposed by Trump would likely raise the price of fuels in the U.S.&#8221;
&#8220;He said that tariffs could significantly affect U.S. consumers, U.S. refiners, and Canadian producers," on Wednesday. In order for American producers to export more of their own oil, the U.S. imports almost 4 million barrels of Canadian crude a day. Struyven added that this could be a &#8220;negotiating tool.&#8221;
"Given the focus from Trump to lower energy costs, we think Canada tariffs are somewhat unlikely,&#8221; he added
U.S. and Canada along with Mexico signed the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement as an update to North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA in 2020. It allowed for mostly duty-free trade between the three countries. Trump&#8217;s threat of tariffs would seem to violate the terms.

Why It Matters: As higher Canadian tariffs could raise the domestic fuel prices in the U.S., it will impact the corporate profits of many companies and increase both, consumer and producer price inflation.
The input costs of transportation and oil marketing companies can increase, which may lower their profits and stock prices. Also, investors may want to short the stocks of these companies when oil prices are high.

What 4 Analyst Ratings Have To Say About Kohl's

Sony Gr's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SONY#NYSE">SONY</a>) short percent of float has fallen 11.11% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 9.50 million shares sold short, which is 0.16% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.86 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.

<h3>Comparing Sony Gr'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>, Sony Gr's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 11.01%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

How Is The Market Feeling About Sony Gr?

Jim Cramer, the outspoken host of CNBC's Mad Money, has publicly voiced his frustration over the backlash he receives for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42181201/jim-cramers-apple-endorsement-sparks-inverse-cramer-backlash-as-social-media-users-mock-his-own-it-advice">his market predictions</a>.
What Happened: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyZS4EDFh2k">Speaking</a> candidly during a segment on Monday, Cramer acknowledged the intense scrutiny and personal attacks he faces, suggesting the weight of the criticism is taking a toll.
"I cannot take so much abuse," Cramer admitted during the broadcast, reflecting on the relentless criticism from both social media users and market observers. 
Known for his high-energy stock recommendations, Cramer has often found himself at the center of heated debates, with critics questioning the accuracy and impact of his financial advice.
In recent months, Cramer has faced heightened scrutiny as volatile markets have magnified the stakes of his calls. 
Responding to critics, he noted that the discourse has shifted beyond professional disagreements, adding, "The attacks have become personal, and it's no longer about the stocks—it's about tearing me down."

Bitcoin&#8216;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) price dropped by 2% on the same day Cramer advocated for cryptocurrencies as a part of every investor&#8217;s portfolio.
A statement on X on Monday to own Apple Inc. stock drew ridicule from the online community, with commentators describing Cramer as &#8220;financial QVC&#8221; and &#8220;the ultimate inverse indicator.&#8221;
Cramer, often the subject of memes due to the perceived inaccuracy of his market predictions, has faced criticism for his advice. 
At one point, a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/24/01/36793492/exclusive-inverse-cramer-etf-shuts-down-how-the-magnificent-7-stocks-factor-in-and-a-broken-c#:~:text=An%20ETF%20that%20generated%20headlines,shut%20the%20fund%20was%20made.">short-lived exchange-traded fund</a> (ETF) was even created to profit by betting against his recommendations.
During the Nov. 26 episode of CNBC's Mad Money, Cramer argued that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42205579/jim-cramer-says-bitcoin-and-ethereum-deserve-a-spot-in-your-portfolio-as-hedge-against-rising-us-debt-ive-liked-crypto-for-a-very-long-time">owning cryptocurrencies could act as a hedge</a> against the U.S.'s growing deficit, which has now surpassed $36 trillion.
"I think Bitcoin, Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), and maybe even some other cryptocurrencies deserve a spot in your portfolio," Cramer stated. "Maybe one day, if the deficit gets under control, I'll change my tune."
Cramer&#8217;s call echoes the thesis by JPMorgan analysts, who called Bitcoin the &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41170398/bitcoin-gold-are-the-debasement-trade-in-uncertain-times-jpmorgan">debasement trade</a>&#8221; in light of the rising government debt burden.

On Tuesday, PTC Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PTCT#NASDAQ">PTCT</a>) revealed data from the global Phase 2 placebo-controlled CardinALS study of Utreloxastat in amyotrophic <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/n42201952/ptc-therapeutics-announces-topline-results-of-cardinals-trial-of-utreloxastat-in-als-patients" rel="noreferrer noopener">lateral sclerosis patients</a>.
The study did not meet its primary endpoint of slowing disease progression on the composite ALSFRS-R and mortality analysis.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/41984686/fda-grants-conditional-approval-for-ptc-therapeutics-gene-therapy-as-first-ever-with-direct-administration-in-brain" rel="noreferrer noopener">FDA Grants Conditional Approval For PTC Therapeutics&#8217; Gene Therapy As First Ever With Direct Administration In Brain</a>
While modest numerical benefit was recorded on the primary endpoint, and a favorable clinical effect was correlated with lowering plasma neurofilament light chain (NfL), a biomarker of neuronal damage, statistical significance was not achieved (p= 0.52). In addition, significance was not achieved on the secondary efficacy endpoints.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), sometimes referred to as motor neuron disease or&nbsp;Lou Gehrig&#8217;s&nbsp;disease, is a rare neurodegenerative disease that affects motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord.
Utreloxastat was demonstrated to be safe and well-tolerated in the CardinALS trial. However, further development is not planned due to the lack of efficacy and biomarker signal.
William Blair notes that while the CardinALS trial results were disappointing, the program was not a major factor in its investment thesis. As a result, ending the program does not affect the firm&#8217;s Outperform <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PTCT/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">rating on the stock</a>.
The analyst highlights the potential approval and launch of sepiapterin as a key growth driver over the next year, particularly in treating Phenylketonuria (PKU). William Blair believes the market is undervaluing this opportunity, with a PDUFA decision expected in July.
The analyst also points to growing investor interest in the company&#8217;s Huntington&#8217;s disease program. Given the strong commercial prospects of this small-molecule therapy, positive discussions with regulators about an accelerated approval pathway for PTC-518 could significantly boost the stock. A Type C meeting with the FDA is planned for the fourth quarter to discuss the regulatory pathway.
Additionally, the company aims to file a U.S. marketing application for vatiquinone in Friedreich&#8217;s ataxia (FA) by late 2024. William Blair expects approval based on the drug&#8217;s clinical data and the FDA&#8217;s recent neurology approvals, especially as no treatments exist for pediatric FA patients.
On Wednesday, PTC Therapeutics agreed to sell its Rare Pediatric Disease Priority Review Voucher <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/n42210840/ptc-therapeutics-enters-into-agreement-to-sell-priority-review-voucher-for-150-million" rel="noreferrer noopener">for $150 million</a>.
PTC was granted the voucher along with the FDA approval of Kebilidi (eladocagene exuparvovec-tneq) for children and adults <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/41984686/fda-grants-conditional-approval-for-ptc-therapeutics-gene-therapy-as-first-ever-with-direct-administration-in-brain" rel="noreferrer noopener">with AADC deficiency</a>.
