KOSPI Volatility Jumps to War-Time Levels, Raising Correction Concerns

KOSPI volatility has risen sharply enough to be compared with wartime conditions, Hankyung reported. Market participants are warning that because the index has climbed quickly, any correction could also be large. The report focuses on the rapid movement in the KOSPI and the attention investors are paying to heightened short-term volatility. A strong rally can lift sentiment, but the faster the rise, the greater the possible pressure for a pullback. The key question now is whether KOSPI volatility will calm down or lead to a broader correction. Source: hankyung.com
