  • Keel Infrastructure Sees Russell Index Rebalance Volume Exceed Short Interest
    June 28, 2026, 2:51 PM EDT. Keel Infrastructure Corp (NASDAQ:KEEL) witnessed unusually high trading volume on Friday, hitting 122.41 million shares or 20.4% of its public float. This volume was 1.4 times its outstanding short interest, highlighting intense activity during the Russell 3000 index rebalance, which begins June 29. Despite a 2.7% rise Friday to $6.03, the stock declined 9.46% over the week, indicating price weakness amid strong index fund buying and heavy short selling. Keel, a former bitcoin miner now focusing on AI infrastructure leases, remains 18.2% below its 52-week high of $7.37. Market watchers are monitoring whether Friday's high volume is a short-term rebalance effect or signals broader investor interest moving forward.
