Delayed MTS orders for some securities companies

‘Donghak ants’ net purchases of over 1 trillion won in the KOSPI alone on the first trading day of the new year to the fullest in the domestic stock market atmosphere. Some securities companies have had accidents such as delayed trading systems due to a surge in individual investors.
According to the financial investment industry on the 4th, a transaction system error appeared as the number of access to the online system of some securities companies exploded right after the opening at 10 am on the day. KB Securities’ online system was delayed for 10 minutes from 10:02 am on the day. Therefore, balance inquiry and transaction order were not performed smoothly. It is known that some investors failed to log in to the mobile trading system (MTS), and the balance inquiry was not performed smoothly. An official from KB Securities said, “There was a phenomenon that the connection was slow due to the congestion of users, but the normal service was started as an emergency measure.” The MTS of NH Investment & Securities also suffered an error about an hour from 10 am, causing some investors to disrupt their transactions.
This is interpreted because individual investors flocked to the domestic stock market from the first trading day of the new year. In fact, the opening of the stock market was an hour later than usual, but the transaction price of the KOSPI was 24.72 trillion won, which was the record high (24 trillion 197.8 billion won) recorded on December 28 last year in three trading days. Individuals net bought 1.28 trillion won in KOSPI alone. On December 30, the last trading day of last year, net purchase of 2.2 trillion won was followed, and net purchase of trillion units was continued on this day. The combined transaction price of KOSPI and KOSDAQ is KRW 41,3659 billion. This is also the new maximum of December 28 last year (41 trillion 99 billion won). Individuals are also making net purchases of KRW 377.6 billion on the KOSDAQ, showing a superior buying advantage for three consecutive trading days since December 29 last year.
An official in the securities industry said, “As the low interest rate environment continues, individuals are more interested in the stock market, and as the bull market continues, more investor funds are inflow.”
