Will Rhind, Founder and CEO of GraniteShares<\/strong><\/span>, said: \u201cThe combination of worries about global economic growth and inflation has hit confidence and put share prices under pressure with retailers some of the worst affected.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe most popular shorted stocks on the Graniteshares remain some of the largest U.S. Technology names, in particular Tesla (3STS). With the recent decline in U.S. Technology stocks, sophisticated investors may be signalling they expect further price declines.\u201d<\/p>\n
