Equity markets began the final months of the first half of 2024 on a quiet note. The S&P 500 traded in a tight range around break-even to close with a small loss of less than 0.1%. This marks the 4th consecutive trading at the current levels within a tight and tightening range, suggesting consolidation ahead of the next move. The next will likely be sparked by this week's economic data, which includes the Employment Situation Report, AKA the nonfarm payrolls.

Whenever stocks reach a higher than usual short interest, investors could benefit from keeping a close eye on the future prospects for those stocks. Typically, there is a good reason for short sellers to take on a bearish view of businesses. However, like bullish sentiment, bearish sentiment can get out of hand. A saga like GameStop Corp. (NYSE: GME) could happen if short interest becomes too high.
