New active shorting declined but spikes seen in retail, consumer non-durables and utilities

Total short market value increased 5.9% ($35.5bn) over the past 30 days.  Net new active shorting declined $8.1bn as the snapback rally of late October hurt the shorts.  The largest increases in net new shorting are seen in Retail, Consumer Non-Durables and Utilities; the largest drops are seen in Technology and Tech Services.  Consumer Durables and Minerals continue to have the highest Short Interest to Shares Outstanding (SISO), followed by Distribution Companies.
