Price performanceAll of the additions have had a decent rally as they move into the rebalancing date. Hyosung Advanced Materials had a bit of correction of late, though.The deletions have had mostly a strong performance on a year-to-date basis. But everyone had a downward correction in the recent days, probably due to the index rebalancing. Short interestI don't see a heavy short interest in any of the deletes yet. Namsun Aluminum has the highest short interest to float shares ratio at 3.33%, which is still 1.16 days to cover. But that doesn't mean that short-sellers aren't waiting on these deletes. Everyone carries a pretty heavy loan balance. As for Binggare, the loan balance is 8 times its 30-day average daily trade volume, leaving the most substantial room for new short positions.
