Oil is settling in yuan now - here's what that means for gold (Ad)

Saudi Arabia has terminated its 1974 petrodollar agreement with the United States - the deal that forced every country on Earth to hold U.S. dollars to buy oil. Since then, Saudi Arabia has signed a $7 billion currency swap with China, begun settling oil in digital yuan, and joined China's cross-border payment system, mBridge. With 10-year Treasury yields pushing toward the 4.4% danger line and global dollar demand in retreat, gold is being repriced. There's one asset that still trades at a steep discount to gold's current price - a rare opportunity to leverage the metal's continued rise.tc pixel

Forget the million-dollar nest egg (Ad)

Nearly 2 in 3 Americans fear running out of money more than death - and chasing a $1.5 million nest egg isn't helping.

His approach could potentially reach that goal with 10x less capital - using a single stock you can buy with one click.tc pixel

Short selling LQMT is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from Liquidmetal Technologies as its price is falling. To short a stock, an investor borrows shares, sells them and buys the shares back on the public market later to return it to the lender. Short sellers are betting that a stock will decline in price. If the stock does drop after selling, the short seller buys it back at a lower price and returns it to the lender. The difference between the sell price and the buy price is the trader's profit.

A short squeeze for Liquidmetal Technologies occurs when it has a large amount of short interest and its stock increases in price. This forces short sellers to cover their short interest positions by buying actual shares of LQMT, which in turn drives the price of the stock up even further.

Short interest is typically published by a stock exchange once per month. However, NASDAQ publishes a report for U.S. stocks, including LQMT, twice per month. The most recent reporting period available is May, 29 2026.

Understanding short interest metrics can help you assess how traders are positioning around a stock like LQMT:

  • Shares Sold Short: The total number of shares that have been sold by short sellers but have not yet been covered or closed out. A high number may indicate bearish sentiment.
  • Short Float: The percentage of a company’s publicly available shares (or "float") that are sold short. A higher short float suggests a greater portion of the stock is being bet against.
  • Days to Cover (Short Interest Ratio): This estimates how many days it would take short sellers to cover their positions, based on average daily trading volume. Higher values can signal potential for a short squeeze if buying pressure increases.

These metrics are often used by traders to gauge sentiment, volatility risk, and the potential for price movements based on short covering activity.
