The Korea Composite Stock Price Index is trying to recover the 7000 mark. On the one hand, the market is worried about high interest rates, and on the other hand, it is looking forward to Samsung Electronics' preliminary third quarter results to be announced next week. The two forces are pulling each other together. According to data from the Korea Exchange, the index fluctuated around 6960 points in early trading on the 2nd. The index opened at 6938.27 points, down 33.08 points from the previous trading day, or 0.47%. Early trading dropped to 6,927 points, then bottomed out at around 9:23 a.m., and rose as high as 0.34% to 6995.19 points. Retail investors are net buyers, while institutions and foreign investors are net sellers. Samsung Electronics' stock price also fluctuated slightly, alternating ups and downs. The company completed the repurchase of 53.8 million treasury shares the day before, with a cumulative repurchase completion rate of 100.96% since August, fulfilling the previously announced repurchase plan. SK Hynix's biggest intraday increase extended to 1.48%, and the closing increase fell back to around 0.5%. Foreign investors sold both of these stocks on a net basis. Financial investment industry analysts said that investors waited for US bond yields and made a profit settlement, putting selling pressure; at the same time, overnight, Micron handed over impressive results in US stocks, driving capital to buy into the artificial intelligence and semiconductor sectors, and the two forces played against each other.
