US Treasury yields jumped, knocking risk appetite and prompting foreign and institutional investors to sell a combined KRW4.8 tln (~$3.5bn) of Korean equities. KOSPI closed at 6,471.17, down 5.80% after an intraday low of 6,400.81; retail investors were net buyers of KRW4.6367 tln. Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix fell more than 7% and 9%, respectively. Foreigners were net sellers of KRW3.5036 tln, the largest net outflow this month and the biggest single-day net sale since the 28th of last month (KRW4.5261 tln); institutions net sold KRW1.3244 tln. Analysts cited Middle East tensions and the US yield spike — including a rise in the 30-year Treasury yield to 5.33%, its highest since 2007 — and said failure to extend a US-Iran ceasefire lifted oil and inflation concerns.
