On the 6th, both the KOSPI and KOSDAQ are declining in the domestic stock market. Simultaneous net selling by foreigners and institutions is leading the index lower, burdening the overall market.

■ KOSPI Down 1.26%... Trading Around the 7,986 Level

During the morning session, the KOSPI is trading at 7,986.78, down 101.56 points (1.26%) from the previous trading day. The KOSPI 200 and KRX 100 each fell 1.24%, indicating a continued bearish trend centered on large-cap stocks.

The KOSDAQ is recording 835.18, down 33.23 points (3.83%), widening its decline. The KOSDAQ's drop is larger than the KOSPI's, expanding volatility centered on growth stocks.

■ Foreigners and Institutions Net Sell, Individuals Buy the Dip

Looking at investor trading trends, retail investors net purchased 1.1264 trillion won in the securities market, engaging in bargain hunting. Meanwhile, foreigners net sold 428.4 billion won and institutions net sold 760.9 billion won, leading the decline.

In the futures market, foreigners and individuals showed a selling advantage, while institutions engaged in net buying, attempting a partial defense. Program trading also showed a net selling trend, increasing market pressure.

■ Declining Stocks Dominate... Afternoon Supply-Demand Changes in Focus

In the securities market, declining issues outnumbered advancing ones, with 478 falling and 401 rising. In the KOSDAQ market, bearish stocks overwhelmingly dominated, with 1,193 declining and 473 advancing.

The market analyzes that investor sentiment has contracted as profit-taking sell-offs following recent short-term surges overlap with selling pressure from foreigners and institutions.

Going forward, changes in foreign trading patterns and movements of major large-cap stocks are cited as key variables that will determine the afternoon session's index trajectory.
