The South Korean stock market is expected to see the biggest weekly net inflow of foreign capital since the beginning of April. This shows that after a historic round of sell-off, global investors are returning to the 4.1 trillion US dollar stock market. According to the data, as of Thursday, overseas capital bought a net purchase of 2 billion US dollars of Korean stocks this week. Foreign investors are expected to continue to make net purchases of more than 1 billion US dollars of components of the Korea Composite Index on Friday. In previous months, the Korean stock market almost continued to experience capital outflows, and the scale of divestment during the year had already exceeded 100 billion US dollars. The return of foreign capital drove the benchmark stock index, the Korea Composite Index, to rise on an average of every trading day this week, with a cumulative increase of more than 10%. As leveraged positions in crowded transactions in the AI sector were cleared, the period of extreme market volatility showed signs of abating.
