According to SigmaRange real-time data, as of the close of the South Korean KOSPI index on the 30th, foreign investors net sold 1.62 trillion won, while institutional investors net bought 743 billion won; retail investors, on the other hand, net sold 620 billion won. The day exhibited a typical pattern of foreign capital outflow and domestic capital inflow. It is worth noting whether foreign investors will continue to reduce their holdings in large South Korean technology stocks, whether institutions can continue to absorb foreign selling, and whether large-scale buying by individual investors can translate into market stabilization. It is crucial to observe whether foreign capital resumes net buying in early November, especially the fund flows of Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix.
