European short selling data
Our dataset brings European short selling data into one place by compiling publicly disclosed net short positions from multiple national competent authorities into a single dataset. Data includes who is short, the % of issued share capital of the stock shorted, the issuer of the stock, and the disclosure date, with a full history of changes over time. Sourced from official regulator publication feeds, we offer you a tool that tracks published net short positions across European equities.
