Find out which stocks and equity ETFs are the most shorted by Saxo clients globally right now

Short selling is a strategy that flips the usual idea of investing. Instead of buying a stock and hoping it goes up, short sellers borrow shares, sell them, and hope the price drops.

Usually, this strategy is executed through leveraged products like Contracts for Difference (CFDs). CFDs allow traders to speculate on price movements without owning the underlying shares.

Check the table to find out what are the most shorted shares by the % of all open positions that are short on the Saxo platform.
