According to an analysis from S3 Partners, short sellers have largely stayed away, preferring to ride out existing bets against these firms rather than...

The crackdown on Chinese companies in a host of sectors by authorities there represented an obvious opportunity for short sellers to make bets against them.

Ihor Dusaniwsky, managing director of predictive analytics at S3 Partners, finds there was a “meager” $94 million of new short selling in U.S.-listed Chinese stocks over the last 30 days. “While shorts were not looking to increase their exposure in these names as stock prices dropped, they may be quicker on the trigger if stock prices surge for an extended period of time in order to lock in recent mark-to-market profits,” said Dusaniwsky.

China orders mass testing in Wuhan as COVID outbreak spreadsChina suspended flights and trains, canceled professional basketball league games and announced mass coronavirus testing in Wuhan on Tuesday as widening outbreaks of the delta variant reached the city where the disease was first detected in late 2019. While the total number of cases is still in the hundreds, they are far more widespread than anything China has dealt with since the initial outbreak that devastated Wuhan in early 2020 and over time spread to the rest of the country and the world. China has not eliminated but largely curbed COVID-19 at home with quick lockdowns and mass testing to isolate infected people whenever new cases pop up.
