Short-selling involves selling borrowed shares to buy them back at a lower price, securing a profit from the price difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The U.S. nonfarm payrolls report for October reported a gain of 150,000 jobs, falling short of expectations, thus reducing concerns about the Federal Reserve&#8217;s interest rate policies.
