韩国股市反弹，外资抛售后散户逆势买入

Odaily Planet Daily News: South Korea's stock market quickly recovered its losses as local retail investors bought stocks during a wave of selling by foreign funds. The KOSPI index rose over 1%, reversing an earlier drop of as much as 3.2%. Samsung Electronics' stock price once plunged 6.1% after failing to reach a wage agreement with its largest labor union, but later narrowed its decline.

Samsung's competitor SK Hynix reversed its earlier losses, shaking off investor concerns about overheating in AI-related stocks. Shares of the South Korean memory chipmaker have surged over 100% year-to-date in 2026. "For the South Korean stock market, the issue is concentration—this market is essentially dominated by two stocks," said Dilin Wu, a cross-asset market research strategist at Pepperstone Group. "The AI hardware theme that drove the KOSPI to record highs remains intact, but supply-side execution risks are now also on the table, making it harder for people to firmly hold this view." (Jin Shi)
