API Enterprise
Daily securities lending on a company's bonds, for the same instrument path as our equity short interest endpoints, so you can read what the credit market pays to borrow a company's debt beside what it pays to borrow its shares.
A balance on loan is not the same as a short position: much bond borrowing finances dealer inventory. Read the fee beside the balance; specialBonds counts the bonds whose fee is in the top 5% of that day's bonds while at least half of the lendable supply is out.
Covers bonds issued by the company and by subsidiaries GLEIF consolidates into it, such as finance vehicles. The response is uncharged (no credits).
Available Data Points:
- Date: The lending date.
- Bonds On Loan: How many of the company's bonds had any amount on loan.
- Value On Loan USD: Market value on loan across those bonds, in USD.
- Fee Weighted: Average loan fee across the bonds, weighted by value on loan.
- Special Bonds: Bonds that are both expensive and scarce to borrow that day.
