The KOSPI recovered the 8,240 level during trading on the 6th, continuing its upward trend of more than 1%.

On this day, the KOSPI closed at 8,241.34, up 153.00 points (1.89%) from the previous trading day. The KOSPI 200 and KRX 100 also rose by around 2% each, continuing a large-cap-centered rally.

Supply and Demand by Investor Type: Individuals Buy, Foreigners and Institutions Sell

  • In terms of supply and demand, individuals showed a buying advantage, while foreigners and institutions engaged in selling.
  • Individuals: Net purchase of 462.1 billion won → supported the index's rise
  • Foreigners: Net sale of 200.4 billion won
  • Institutions: Net sale of 287.2 billion won

In the futures market, individuals net purchased 71.7 billion won, while foreigners and institutions net sold 142.2 billion won and 102.4 billion won, respectively.

Market Outlook and Variables

The market views the index's rebound as a result of bargain-hunting inflows following recent expanded volatility. However, with foreigners and institutions maintaining a selling advantage in the spot market, changes in afternoon trading supply and demand are cited as a variable for further gains.

Program trading showed a pattern of continuing intraday supply and demand shifts, with arbitrage and non-arbitrage trades moving in opposite directions.

Stock Movements

On the KOSPI market, 552 stocks advanced and 311 declined, with 3 stocks hitting the upper limit. Meanwhile, the KOSDAQ fell 1.88%, showing a different trend from the KOSPI.
