Nasdaq reports 1.6% increase in short interest from late May to mid-June.

NASDAQ (NASDAQ: NDAQ) has released its mid-month short interest report as of June 13, 2025, revealing a 1.6% increase in total short interest from late May to mid-June. The total short interest across all 4,849 Nasdaq securities reached 16.38 billion shares, up from 16.11 billion shares in the previous period [3].

The average daily volume increased to 1.72 days from 1.54 days, indicating a slight increase in trading activity. In the Nasdaq Global Market, 3,207 securities reported short interest of 13.69 billion shares, representing 2.32 days of average daily volume. The Nasdaq Capital Market saw short interest of 2.69 billion shares across 1,642 securities, maintaining a 1.00 day average daily volume [3].

This increase in short interest may be a sign of growing bearish sentiment among investors, as rising short interest positions are often seen as a bearish indicator. The Days to Cover statistic, which measures the number of days it would take to cover all short positions, can be used to judge rising or falling sentiment in a stock from month-to-month [1].

Investors should closely monitor these developments, as changes in short interest can indicate shifts in market sentiment and potential future price movements. For a more detailed analysis, investors may want to consider additional financial metrics and news updates [1, 3].
