[Breaking News] On the 11th, the domestic stock market is defending its upward trend, with aggressive net buying from individuals and institutions flowing in despite large-scale profit-taking sales by foreigners. As of the afternoon, the KOSPI is recorded at 7766.32, up 35.50 points (0.46%) from the previous trading day. The KOSDAQ index is trading at 990.17, having surged by 38.54 points (4.05%), showing stronger elasticity that exceeds the KOSPI. In terms of supply and demand, the selling pressure from foreigners is prominent. In the securities market, foreigners recorded net sales of over 2.7 trillion KRW to realize profits, and they also sold net over 240 billion KRW in the futures market, increasing short-term burden. On the other hand, individual investors absorbed most of the foreigners' selling by net buying over 2.7 trillion KRW in the securities market. Institutions also supported the index's downside by net buying more than 880 billion KRW. In the KOSDAQ market, institution-led buying has flowed in, backing the upward trend. The market assessment is that although there are movements among foreign funds to realize some profits following the recent surge, the buying pressure from domestic investors is offsetting this, allowing the stock market to maintain a robust trend. In particular, the number of rising stocks is significantly outpacing the declining ones, creating an atmosphere where overall market investment sentiment is improving. By industry, buying has spread around growth stocks such as semiconductors, secondary batteries, and biotechnology, leading the KOSDAQ's gains to far outpace the KOSPI. The securities industry notes that while the possibility of expanded short-term volatility remains if foreign selling continues, it is noteworthy that individuals and institutions are absorbing the sell-off and continuing the upward trend. Whether there is a change in foreign supply and demand during the latter half of the session is cited as the main variable that will determine the future direction of the market.
