The Kobeissi Letter said in a post on X that short positioning in U.S. equities has continued to build. Data cited in the post showed that short interest in S&P 500 constituents has risen to roughly 3.7% of float, putting the measure close to its highest level since 2010. Short interest across Russell 3000 constituents was put at about 6.1%, also near a historical high. Both readings have been trending upward since the start of 2025. The post also said short interest as a share of float across all New York Stock Exchange-listed stocks reached 9.0% in late June, setting a record high. For comparison, the same metric peaked at about 5.0% during the 2008 financial crisis and around 6.0% during the 2020 pandemic period.
