Vale's increased short interest suggests bearish sentiment among traders, but it remains below the peer group average, indicating less bearish sentiment relative to its peers.
The increase in short interest for Vale indicates that traders expect the stock price to fall, which could lead to downward pressure on the stock in the short term.
