South Korea's Market & Economic Decisions

Market-wide moves on the Korea Exchange (KOSPI and KOSDAQ) that come from inside South Korea rather than from a single company: a Bank of Korea rate decision, a new rule from the financial regulator, a political shock or heavy selling by foreign investors. On those days most Korean shares move together whatever the business does, and the won often moves at the same time.

Dated events

  1. · South Korea reimposes a full short-selling ban; Korean stocks surge more than 5%
    Regulators banned new short positions on Korean shares. The KOSPI had one of its biggest one-day gains in years.
  2. · President Yoon declares martial law overnight; parliament rejects it within hours
    The short-lived declaration was overturned by parliament the same night. Korean shares traded abroad and the won fell as investors weighed the political crisis.
  3. · Short selling resumes after 17 months; KOSPI falls below 2,500
    The return of short selling came as US tariffs drew near. Samsung Electronics, SK hynix and Hyundai Motor fell and the won weakened.
  4. · Lee Jae-myung wins the presidential election; KOSPI rises 2.7%
    The new president promised policies to lift the stock market. Foreign investors made their biggest net purchase of the year and financial and holding company shares led the rise.
  5. · Disappointing tax revision; KOSPI falls 3.88%, its steepest drop in four months
    The plan raised corporate tax rates and lowered the threshold for capital gains tax on shares. The won fell to a near three-month low.
