Up 1.91% From the Previous Day
On the 24th, the KOSPI set a new record high during intraday trading, rising by nearly 2%.
As of 10:13 a.m. that day, the KOSPI was up 1.91% from the previous day, reaching 3,919.17. After breaking through the 3,900 mark, it continued its upward momentum, approaching the 3,920 level. It then slightly retreated, fluctuating around the 3,900 range.
Foreign investors, who showed selling pressure early in the session, switched to net buying, joining institutional investors in driving the index higher. They recorded net purchases of 65.1 billion won and 319 billion won, respectively. Individual investors recorded net sales of 366.4 billion won.
The KOSDAQ index also showed strength. As of 10:23 a.m., it was up 1.00% from the previous day, standing at 881.60.
This upward trend appears to have been influenced by a rebound in the U.S. stock market early that morning, led by semiconductor stocks. All three major U.S. indices closed higher, and the MSCI Korea ETF, which moves similarly to the domestic market, also rose by 0.39%.
On the 24th, when the KOSPI index hit an all-time intraday high, the status board in the dealing room of Hana Bank in Jung-gu, Seoul displayed the KOSPI and the KRW/USD exchange rate. As of 9:02 a.m. that day, the KOSPI opened at 3,900.3, up 54.74 points (1.42%) from the previous trading day, and the KRW/USD exchange rate opened at 1,436.7 won, down 2.9 won. 2025.10.24 Photo by Jo Yongjun
