Outstanding Short Selling Positions Reported Data

This dataset features information on short selling positions whose ratio is 0.5% or more of those reported by trading participants, in accordance with the Cabinet Office Order on Restrictions on Securities Transactions. Outstanding short selling position data has previously been available via the JPX website but is limited to the past 12 months in Excel format.
