What does % short mean?
It is the reported short position as a percentage of securities on issue. For ordinary shares, a 5% reading means five of every 100 shares are reported short. ASIC publishes these figures four business days after the trade date, labelled T+4.

Common questions
What is short selling?
A short seller borrows shares, sells them, and later buys them back to return to the lender. A lower repurchase price produces a gain before costs; a higher price produces a loss.
Are ASIC positions and ASX short sales the same?
No. ASIC reports outstanding short positions. ASX reports gross short sales during a single trading day, available the next business day as T+1 data. Daily sales do not tell you how many positions remain open.
What is a percentage-point change?
A rise from 2.00% short to 2.50% short is an increase of 0.50 percentage points. The change columns show this difference, not the relative increase of 25%.
Does high short interest mean the price will fall?
No. Positions can be hedges or part of a larger trade. The reports show how much is short, but not why, and do not predict the share price.
