Lending Market Dynamics for CBRS
As of the latest update from Interactive Brokers, CBRS is currently trading with a borrow fee of 0.73%. With approximately 600,000 shares available for lending, the market appears to have sufficient liquidity for those looking to initiate or maintain short positions. However, the borrow fee is a dynamic metric that can shift rapidly based on demand.
Monitoring Borrow Fees
For short sellers, the borrow fee (or cost-to-borrow) is a critical component of the trade's profitability. A fee of 0.73% is relatively modest, but any significant reduction in the number of available shares could lead to a rapid increase in the cost to maintain a short position. We track these metrics every 15 minutes to ensure that our clients are aware of any sudden shifts in lending availability.
Key Takeaways
- Current borrow fee for CBRS stands at 0.73%.

The Bottom Line
