[The Trading Volume of the South Korean Stock Market Has Plunged 70% from Its Late May Peak]
According to a report by Jinse Finance, on October 11, South Korea has been a typical representative of the global AI boom for most of this year. However, now, by almost every metric, the South Korean stock market is rapidly losing the attention of investors. Trading volume has plunged 70% from its late May peak, foreign investors are quickly withdrawing, and local retail investors in South Korea are also exiting the market.
Behind this reversal lies the South Korean stock market's overreliance on Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix. Phillip Wool, Head of Portfolio Management at Rayliant Global Advisors, stated: "I think for most investors, especially those who recently entered the South Korean market due to trades in memory chips, the biggest challenge is that the easy money under this theme has already been pocketed." He mentioned that his fund has been taking profits on South Korean AI stocks and is currently underweight on SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics.
Richard Tang from Julius Baer Group said: "We are observing a growing trend of capital flowing back into U.S. stocks, which has led to a continuous outflow of foreign capital from South Korean stocks." (Cailian Press)
