KOSPI at 2560s: What’s Going On?
KOSPI took a hit, landing in the 2560s. It started the day down 22.72 points (0.88%) at 2553.44, briefly climbed to the 2570s, but slid back after news hit at 2 PM about Yoon’s bailout being canceled. Individuals sold off 187.7B KRW, while foreigners (49.7B KRW) and institutions (30.9B KRW) bought in. Caution ahead of the US jobs report and a rocky global market added pressure—talk about a wild ride!
Trump’s Flip-Flopping Tariff Chaos
Trump’s tariff policy is a rollercoaster—imposing, then scrapping tariffs on Mexico and Canada, leaving markets dizzy. Lee Kyung-min from Daishin Securities noted, “Trump’s back-and-forth is fueling uncertainty.” A plunging NYSE and a rising won/dollar rate (1446.8) dragged KOSPI down, though China’s post-NPC stimulus hopes sparked a mid-day rebound attempt. Global markets are a mess right now!
Yoon’s Bailout Cancellation and Political Uncertainty
At 2 PM, news broke that the court accepted Yoon Suk Yeol’s request to cancel his detention, rocking KOSPI’s recovery. Political theme stocks flipped fast—Peace Holdings (Kim Moon-soo theme) fell 9.8% after an early rise, while Lee Jae-myung-linked Dongshin Construction (-9.63%) and Orient Precision (-2.73%) also tanked. Political uncertainty hit investor sentiment hard—politics and stocks are tangled up again!
