Estimates from short-selling data. Levels are not predictions or trading recommendations.
Share lending and returned shares
Shares lent out (mostly to short sellers), new loans and shares returned each day. A return is either the lender calling the shares back (a recall) or the borrower handing them back, often after buying back a short. The published figures don't say which.
- Shares on loan
- 4.5M
- 2.7% of listed shares
- Loans, 5-day change
- +4.5%
- Loans, 20-day change
- +9.4%
- Returned, last 5 days
- 1M
- New loans, last 5 days
- 1.2M
- Short balance vs loans
- 52.4%
- How much of the lent stock is sold short. The higher it is, the more buying back a wave of recalls forces.
Who's borrowing: foreign vs domestic
The shares on loan by who borrowed them and who lent them, by value.
- Foreign share, 5 days
- +0.5 pts
- Foreign share, 20 days
- +1.5 pts
- Foreign borrowing, 5 days
- +5.7%
As of Oct 28. Domestic borrowers include Korean brokers, some of which borrow for overseas clients, so this shows who holds the loan, not who finally sells short. Not a recommendation.
