ASX short interest explained

Short selling is when an investor borrows shares, sells them on market, and later buys them back to return to the lender. If the price falls in between, the short seller profits. Regulators and investors watch short interest because rising shorting can signal negative sentiment, crowded trades, or upcoming news.

On this site, “% short” is the estimated proportion of a company’s shares on issue that are out on loan and sold short. It’s a simple way to compare how heavily different tickers are shorted, regardless of their size. You can explore the current leaders in the Top 100, or drill into a specific ticker like BHP to see history.

ASIC publishes short position data on a T+4 basis. We pair that with the ASX next-day gross short sales file, reported as a percent of issued capital (T+1), so you can see trading-session short flow sooner. Both feeds are labelled clearly across the site. For sourcing and method details, see the About page.

What does "% short" mean?

How is the data checked?

We check source files for freshness, empty reports, malformed tickers, duplicate rows, and stale publication dates. See the methodology for source, calculation, and limitation details.

How do I report a data issue?
