韩国股市反弹，韩国投资者再度融资买入

The Odaily Planet Daily reported that as the South Korean stock market rebounds from its lows, domestic investors are once again heavily borrowing to buy local stocks. According to data from the Korea Financial Investment Association (KOFIA), as of Thursday, the margin balance for stock purchases (i.e., margin debt) stood at 30.93 trillion won (approximately $21.8 billion), up from 27.44 trillion won on August 3. This surge in margin borrowing comes amid a strong recovery in market heavyweights such as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, which had been shaken by concerns over profitability from AI-related investments. Analysts believe that, given the easing of worries over AI investment, there are no immediate signs of a cooldown in the South Korean stock market, and margin levels could continue to rise for some time, potentially hitting new highs.
