[Citi: Investors Turning Bullish, Short Positions at Risk] BlockBeats News, August 11, Citi strategists stated that over the past week, positioning in the US and European markets has shown signs of recovery, putting pressure on short positions, particularly in the S&P 500 index. The relevant team noted that investors in both markets injected new funds last week, rather than simply closing out short positions. In the US market, the current rally has led to accumulating losses for short positions; the substantial short positions in the S&P 500 may face forced covering if the market continues to rise steadily.
