Oct 27 (Reuters) – Britain's Financial Conduct Authority will announce new rules under which short sellers will no longer have their identities disclosed in public, the Financial Times reported on Monday. The financial watchdog is expected to shift to publishing the total short positions of investors betting against a company's share price on an anonymized and aggregated basis, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter. Reuters could not immediately verify the report.
