Signage for the Shanghai Stock Exchange in Pudong's Lujiazui Financial District in Shanghai, China, on Monday, Jan. 29, 2024.
Short positions in China's stock market shrank by a third in February to their lowest in more than three years, reflecting measures by regulators to curb speculation and boost investor confidence.
The data, however, does not capture other short positions via derivatives or stock futures.
As part of a raft of measures to revive the market, China's securities watchdog last month suspended brokerages from borrowing shares for lending to short-sellers.
In addition, investors were banned from short selling stocks bought on the same day.
