KOSPI 8000 Battle Intensifies as Retail Buying Meets Foreign Selling

A supply-and-demand battle is continuing around the KOSPI 8000 level as retail investors and foreign investors take opposite positions. Retail investors are emerging as buyers pushing share prices higher, while foreign investors are weighing on the index with selling pressure. The move shows a clear split in how different investor groups are reading the same market. The key issue is whether retail buying can absorb the pressure from foreign selling. As the KOSPI enters a tug-of-war around 8000, short-term price moves are likely to depend heavily on the balance of market flows. Source: hankyung.com.
