Lantheus Holdings's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LNTH#NYSE">LNTH</a>) short percent of float has risen 3.19% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 4.25 million shares sold short, which is 8.08% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 9.79 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.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1731351612_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Lantheus Holdings has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Lantheus Holdings'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>, Lantheus Holdings's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 7.24%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

How Is The Market Feeling About Lantheus Holdings?

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Trump Will Fix It&nbsp;</h3>
In my previous post (<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2024-11-06/post-trump-victory-trade">The Post-Trump Victory Trade</a>), I highlighted a half dozen stocks in which my subscribers and I had positions that had double digit gains the day after Trump&#8217;s election victory. In response, a commenter wrote, &#8220;Well, I didn&#8217;t like any of those trades, so I will stick to my Gold and Silver.&#8221;.&nbsp;
As it happened, the day after Trump&#8217;s victory, was also the day of the &#8220;<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/the-market-ear/great-gold-puke">Great Gold Puke</a>&#8220;, as The Market Ear put it:&nbsp;
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><h3 class="wp-block-heading">All good things&#8230;</h3>
&#8230;.must come to an end. Gold is puking, putting in the biggest down candle in forever as it breaks below the short term trend channel. The 50 day comes in around $2635, and the bigger trend line around $2600.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="532" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/08195017/Gold-1024x532.png" alt="" class="wp-image-3141" style="width:624px" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/08195017/Gold-1024x532.png 1024w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/08195017/Gold-300x156.png 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/08195017/Gold-768x399.png 768w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/08195017/Gold.png 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure> 
<cite>Refinitiv</cite></blockquote>
Why would gold tumble after Trump&#8217;s victory? Perhaps there&#8217;s a clue in the Trump campaign&#8217;s slogan, &#8220;Trump will fix it&#8221;. One of the things Trump will fix is the elevated geopolitical risk the world has seen over the last few years, starting with the Russia-Ukraine War, and extending to the wars in the Mideast between Israel and Hamas, and Israel and Iran, and tensions between China and Taiwan.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Geopolitical Risk Is Already Starting To Ebb</h3>
The geopolitical risk premium is a key factor influencing the price of precious metals like gold and silver, as they are traditionally seen as a haven during times of instability and war. Given that, note what has happened since Trump&#8217;s victory:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Hamas <a href="https://x.com/DonaldJTrumpJr/status/1854516506169585796">has called for</a> an end to its war with Israel. </li>
<li>Russian President Vladimir Putin&nbsp;<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/putin-praises-courageous-trump-hints-ukraine-talks-phone-call-likely">has congratulated Trump</a>&nbsp;on his victory, praised Trump&#8217;s bravery during the first assassination attempt on him, and expressed an openness toward talks aimed at ending the Ukraine war. Peace between the U.S. and Russia would facilitate peace in the Mideast and elsewhere, given Russia&#8217;s ties to Iran, China, and other key countries.&nbsp;</li>
<li>China&#8217;s President Xi <a href="https://x.com/XHNews/status/1854396381982830623">also extended congratulations</a> and an olive branch to Trump.</li>
</ul>
If Trump succeeds in ending the wars in Eastern Europe and the Mideast, and calming tensions across the Taiwan Strait, that would further reduce gold&#8217;s geopolitical risk premium.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Deflationary Potential Of Trump&#8217;s Domestic Policies </h3>
You&#8217;re probably thinking now that even if peace starts to break out, high inflation is baked into the cake because of government spending, and that should boost the price of gold. Consider, though, the deflationary potential of Trump&#8217;s proposed policies, and those of his close allies.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Trump&#8217;s tariffs. Critics of tariffs often point out that they are, effectively, a regressive tax on domestic consumers. This is actually true, and like all regressive taxes, they are deflationary. Just as throwing money and low income Americans boosted inflation during COVID, an effective regressive tax on them would cool inflation.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Trump&#8217;s deportations.&nbsp;Deporting millions of illegal aliens&#8211;or deporting a smaller number and prompting millions more to self-deport&#8211;will have a deflationary effect on sectors such as housing, as there will be fewer consumers competing for the same number of homes.&nbsp;</li>
<li>RFK, Jr.&#8217;s campaign against chronic disease. Every case of diabetes and other chronic diseases RFK, Jr. can prevent with changes to American food policy means a reduction of tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in health care spending. That would cool healthcare inflation.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Elon Musk&#8217;s Department Of Government Efficiency. Elon Musk has spoken about slashing the number of federal employees (something Vivek Ramaswamy pointed out could be done while avoiding Civil Service regulations) and cutting government waste. That would be deflationary too.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Much Of This Is Likely To Happen&nbsp;</h3>
We all remember how Trump was stymied in his first term, but he is in a much stronger position now. He won a landslide victory, and is now the undisputed leader of the Republican Party. Plus, he has much smarter, and more competent people on his side now, such as Elon Musk. None of this is particularly good for gold and silver prices.&nbsp;

<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.
