Japan Securities Dealers Association Releases Weekly Stock Lending and Borrowing Transaction Data for September 4, 2025
Tokyo, Japan – September 4, 2025 – The Japan Securities Dealers Association (JSDA) has today released its latest report on weekly stock lending and borrowing transactions, providing valuable insights into the activity and sentiment within the Japanese securities market. The data, published on the JSDA’s official website, covers the period leading up to September 4, 2025, and offers a detailed snapshot of institutional investors’ engagement in this crucial market segment.
The report, titled “株券等貸借取引状況（週間）” (Weekly Stock Lending and Borrowing Transaction Status), is a key resource for market participants, analysts, and policymakers. It details the volume of shares lent and borrowed across various categories, offering a granular view of the supply and demand dynamics for securities. This information is instrumental in understanding market trends, potential price pressures, and the overall health of liquidity in the Japanese equity markets.
Stock lending and borrowing transactions are fundamental to the efficient functioning of financial markets. They enable activities such as short selling, which can contribute to price discovery and market efficiency, and provide a means for investors to manage their portfolios, hedge risks, and generate additional income. The data released by the JSDA is therefore of significant interest to a wide range of stakeholders.
While specific figures for this week’s report are detailed on the JSDA website, general observations from such releases often highlight key trends. For instance, an increase in borrowing activity might suggest a growing sentiment of bearishness among institutional investors, or an increased demand for specific stocks due to upcoming corporate events or anticipated price movements. Conversely, an increase in lending activity could indicate investors’ confidence in their holdings and their willingness to lend them out for a fee.
The JSDA’s commitment to transparency and regular dissemination of market data, such as this weekly report, is vital for fostering trust and informed decision-making within the financial industry. These statistics serve as a barometer for market sentiment and liquidity, enabling a more nuanced understanding of the forces shaping Japanese equity performance.

The detailed breakdown of lending and borrowing volumes, along with any associated trends or anomalies, will undoubtedly be a subject of careful study and consideration in the days and weeks ahead.
