Lending Market Tightness
GameStop (GME) continues to exhibit signs of a constrained lending market. According to near-real-time estimates from Ortex, the cost-to-borrow (CTB) has seen a marked increase over the last 48 hours. High utilization rates suggest that the pool of available shares for shorting is shrinking, a classic precursor to potential squeeze setups. While the official FINRA short interest remains the gold standard for open positions, the current lending dynamics indicate that the 'cost of carry' for short sellers is rising, potentially forcing a re-evaluation of bearish positions.
