About ASX Short Selling Data
Short selling occurs when investors borrow shares and sell them, betting the price will fall. They profit by buying back shares at a lower price to return to the lender. High short interest can indicate bearish sentiment, but also potential for short squeezes if prices rise unexpectedly.
How We Source This Data
Our short position data is sourced directly from ASIC (Australian Securities and Investments Commission) daily reports. ASIC requires disclosure of any short position equal to or greater than 0.1% of a company's issued capital. Data is typically published with a T+3 delay.
Understanding Short Interest Percentages
- <5%: Low short interest, generally bullish sentiment
- 5-10%: Moderate short interest, some bearish views
- 10-20%: High short interest, significant bearish sentiment
- >20%: Extreme short interest, potential squeeze candidate
