Short Selling in Hong Kong Falls to Lowest Since 2021 Amid Rally

Short selling in Hong Kong stocks is the least active in three and a half years, after a series of Chinese stimulus measures drove a rally on the city’s bourse.

Turnover in short positions fell to 9.7% of the market’s total Friday, marking the lowest level since April 2021, according to Bloomberg’s calculations based on exchange data. It recovered slightly to 10.7% Monday.
