Short interest and short borrow fee rate update: InsurTechs stay in the hot seat

The latest short interest report, which included data through November 30, was released by FINRA on Thursday. The two-week period was shaken by the advent of the Omicron Covid-19 variant, which caused market-wide fear of additional lockdowns. However, short interest mainly remained unchanged in the sector with a few InsurTech and Floridian exceptions.
