The cost to borrow for WGS has surged, doubling to 0.43% and representing a 102% increase over the past week. This spike in borrowing costs is a classic indicator of tightening supply in the securities-lending market, often preceding or accompanying short squeeze conditions. Ortex models indicate that this trend is part of a broader pattern of increased short-selling pressure. Traders are advised to monitor borrow availability closely, as rapid changes in lending rates can signal that short sellers are facing increased difficulty in maintaining their positions.
