Daily Short Volume Activity
Western Asset Diversified Income Fund (WDI) saw a notable increase in short-selling flow on October 28, 2026. FINRA Reg SHO data indicates an off-exchange short volume ratio of 48.2%, which is a +1.9 standard deviation move from the fund's 20-session average.
Key Takeaways
This data reflects the daily volume of trades marked short, not the total open short interest. The elevated ratio suggests that market participants were actively selling the fund short during the session. As with all daily flow data, this should be monitored alongside broader market trends to assess whether this represents a temporary hedging strategy or a more sustained bearish outlook.
