The index started at 3,203.96, down 5.03 points (0.16%) from the battlefield and continued to decline during the intraday.
On this day, the KOSPI fell one day after breaking through the 3,200 mark for the first time in history.
While foreigners and institutions poured out more than 4 trillion won of bombs for sale, individuals bought them and failed to prevent further decline in the index.
In addition, concerns over delayed economic recovery due to the spread of corona 19 variant and delay in vaccination have increased, and the stock price has surged for a short period of time, resulting in an overvaluation burden.
In the securities market, foreigners sold KRW 1.91 trillion and institutions sold KRW 2.25 trillion, leading the index decline.
While the index fell by more than 2% due to the supply and demand burden from selling foreigners and institutions, individuals defended the index by net purchase of 4.2214 billion won.
The net purchase amount of individuals was the second highest ever after the 11th (4,491 trillion won). Among the top stocks by market capitalization, Samsung Biologics (1.52%), Samsung Electro-Mechanics (1.17%), and Celltrion (0.47%) were strong. On the other hand, LG (-5.43%), LG Electronics (-4.49%), SK Hynix (-4.44%), SK (-4.23%), and NCsoft (-4.22%) fell in the 4-5% range.
The trading volume of the securities market was 855.97 million shares, and the trading value was 21,566.3 billion won.
The KOSDAQ index finished at 994.00, down 5.30 points (-0.53%) from the previous day.
The index opened at 1,000.00, up 0.70 points (0.07%) from the battlefield, exceeding the 1,000 line in the morning and then turned to a decline.
It was only 20 years and 4 months after September 15, 2000 (the market price was 1,037.59), when the information technology (IT) main boom occurred, but it failed to shoot the’big figure’.
In the KOSDAQ market, foreigners and institutions net sold 29.2 billion won and 144.9 billion won respectively. Individuals net bought 4149 billion won.
The combined net purchase amount of the stock market and the KOSDAQ market was 4.63 trillion won, which was the highest ever recorded (formerly 4.57 trillion won on January 11).
