Nasdaq short interest up 1.6% in mid-June
Jun 25, 2025 1:50 PM

NEW YORK, June 25 (Reuters) - Short interest on the

Nasdaq rose 1.6% in mid-June, the exchange said on Wednesday.

As of June 13, short interest rose to about 16.377 billion

shares, compared with 16.114 billion shares as of May 30.

Investors who sell securities "short" borrow shares and then

sell them, expecting the stock to fall so they can buy the

shares back at the lower price, return them to the lender and

pocket the difference.

Shorting can also be part of a hedging strategy.
