A short squeeze occurs when a stock that is heavily shorted (e.g., has high short interest) suddenly increases in price. That price “squeezes” investors who hold short positions, and they often have to buy the stock at a higher price to pay back their borrowed shares.

Good MorningEquity markets rebounded on Monday, gaining about 1% at the high, but investors are cautioned to read too much into the move. The rally is likely a relief rally after the previous week's sell-off and does little to alter the technical picture. With the CPI report due this week, the odds are high that volatility will remain elevated even if the sell-off doesn't resume. The CPI is expected to show cooling inflation, good news for the economy that will lead to lower interest rates but also to the unwinding of the Japanese carry-trade and sector rotation for U.S. stocks.
The September FOMC meeting is only a week away. The committee is expected to cut rates by at least 25 basis points and will likely do so. Given the state of the economy, a larger cut is unlikely, making the statement's wording critical. The market wants reassurance from the FOMC, as little good as that will do if the economy unexpectedly falls into a recession.

| From Our Partners | | Marc Chaikin, founder of Chaikin Analytics, says two forces - AI disruption and fracturing global trade - are triggering a historic wealth transfer already underway in 2026. Household names like Intuit (-57%), Boston Scientific (-49%), and Tractor Supply (-40%) are cratering, while lesser-known companies like Sandisk (+573%) and Rackspace (+444%) surge.
Chaikin has identified specific stocks he believes investors should sell before they fall further - and the names may surprise you. He's also pinpointing a company tapped as Nvidia's self-driving partner and a potential AI megadeal that could split into three high-growth stocks.
