KOSPI falls below 4,000 again / KBS 2025.11.07.　#KBSNews

Today (Nov. 7), the KOSPI has fallen below the 4,000 mark for the first time in two weeks.

This week, the KOSPI has shown a volatile market, repeatedly experiencing sharp rises and falls.

For the time being, it seems that foreign investors will drive the market.

Reporter Park Chan has the details.

[Report]

The KOSPI closed at 3,953.

Most large-cap stocks, including Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, LG Energy Solution, and Hyundai Motor, fell by similar margins.

This is the first time the closing price has been below 4,000 since October 24.

This week, the KOSPI has been on a rollercoaster ride.

On Monday, it broke through the 4,200 mark, then on Tuesday, it reached 4,226 in early trading before suddenly turning to a sharp decline, and on Wednesday, it dropped to 3,867, triggering a sell-side circuit breaker.

Today, it also gave up the 3,900 mark but reduced the decline and recovered to the 3,950 range.

The difference between the intraday high and low was 359 points.

Even in terms of closing prices, it moved 268 points just this week, which is the level of movement seen over the entire last year.

This week, foreign investors sold a net 7.2 trillion won, while individuals bought a net 7.4 trillion won, causing the market to fluctuate.

[Lee Min-hyuk/KB Kookmin Bank Economic Analyst: “There were concerns about a bubble in the AI industry, and since it rose too quickly, it seems there was some burden.”]

Foreign investors selling domestic stocks have converted a lot of won to dollars, causing the exchange rate to rise to 1,456 won per dollar.

For the time being, it is likely that stock prices will be influenced more by foreign investors than by institutions.

The National Pension Service, the largest institutional investor, has nearly reached its target allocation for domestic stocks within its total assets, so it does not have much room for further purchases.

After the sell-side circuit breaker was triggered in the KOSPI, it took an average of 21 days to recover to the previous week’s price since 2010.
