Odaily Planet Daily: The Kobeissi Letter on X stated that data shows U.S. stock short positions continue to increase. Currently, the percentage of shares held short in S&P 500 index constituents has risen to about 3.7% of float, approaching the highest level since 2010; the short position ratio for Russell 3000 index constituents has risen to about 6.1%, also nearing historical highs.
