On Monday, the FSA announced the ban on shorting financial stocks would be lifted on 16 January, but new disclosure rules will now apply until at least June.
Under the new rules, companies must disclose short positions worth more than 0.25 percent of a company’s stock, and if the position then changes by more than 0.1 percent. The ban on shorting selected financial stocks was originally imposed in September.
