Full description
Daily snapshot of reported short positions for every ASX-listed equity, published by ASIC with a T+4 business-day lag. ~2,000 rows per day - one row per product (ASX ticker) showing reported short positions, total product in issue, and the resulting short-interest percentage. Use this for: highest-shorted stocks today, short-interest tracking for a specific ticker, hedge fund position monitoring, market-wide short pressure analysis. The data ASIC publishes is what licensed short sellers report each day - it's the regulator's official short-interest measure for the Australian market. This dataset uses a date-driven URL pattern. `latest()` returns the most-recent published day's CSV (the server probes the last 10 calendar days backward to find the latest available). For a specific date, ASIC publishes T+4 business days, so today's data appears about a week later on weekdays. Source: ASIC short position reporting under Corporations Act 2001 s.1020AB.
