In this case Ternium S-A's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Ternium S-A shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Ternium S-A shares, roughly 0 shares are currently held short).

Such a low SIR usually points to an optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Ternium S-A.
