[경제]Will the stock market be adjusted in earnest?…

Individual net purchase alone for the fourth day… KRW 8.3 trillion last week
Foreigners sold 5.3 trillion won last week… 22 trillion net selling last year
The pace of economic recovery such as the US is retreating… Worsening investor sentiment
If foreigners and institutions continue to sell net, the adjustment will likely deepen


[앵커]

As the KOSPI fell for four consecutive days last week, the 3,000 mark of the dream index collapsed.

Although individual investors are still buying a lot of stocks, it is predicted that it will not be easy for the KOSPI to change its direction in the short term as foreigners who are concerned about slowing economic recovery continue to sell.

Reporter Kim Jang-ha on the report.

The aggressive stock buying by individual investors continued last week.

Individuals recorded net purchases alone for the fourth day from the 26th after making a net sale on the 25th when KOSPI broke through the 3,200 line.

This year, while individuals and institutions are engaged in trading battles, foreigners who have been waiting a little bit have increased their sales since last week.

Foreigners who net sold 22 trillion won last year have already net sold over 5 trillion won in the past week alone.

The KOSPI slipped for four days in a row, and the 3,000 line collapsed without force as foreigners increased their sell-off intensity, centering on large, high-quality stocks that affect the index.

The share price of Samsung Electronics, which individuals thought to be the safest and intensively bought, fell more than 15% from the mid-market high on the 11th.

It is analyzed that foreign investment sentiment has deteriorated as the recent won has turned weak and economic recovery in major countries such as the US has been slow.

There is also a prospect that if foreigners do not return to net buying in situations where it is not possible to expect an institution to reduce the share of stocks, volatility will increase and the correction may deepen.

However, there is still an analysis that the mid- to long-term uptrend will continue after adjustments due to abundant liquidity, such as the stock purchase waiting fund surpassing KRW 70 trillion again.
