Short-selling ban lifted
Australia lifted an eight-month ban on short selling of financial shares yesterday in response to reduced market volatility.
The government announced in September a 30-day ban on covered short selling (the sale of borrowed stock a vendor hopes to buy back at a lower price) after US and British regulators restricted the trading practice.
