🇺🇸 A short squeeze brewing in U.S. stocks? Hedge-fund short positions on Goldman Sachs’ books are higher than 99% of readings over the past five years, prompting the bank to flag a “short squeeze risk.” Funds sold $5 of stocks short for every $1 they bought this month, while fundamental long/short funds cut net bullish exposure to a near three-year low. We could be approaching a setup for a sharp squeeze if strong earnings or other positive news force short sellers to buy back shares, accelerating a rebound.
