South Korean retail investors are fleeing the stock market, with their trading share on the KOSPI index dropping to a six-month low. In July, individuals accounted for only 31.2-31.5% of trading value, down from 48.1% in January. This decline of 16-17 percentage points within six months indicates eroded investor confidence due to market volatility. Even small market rebounds are triggering sell-offs as investors prioritize recouping principal and exiting. Since June, foreign investors have become the dominant force, representing 38-39% of KOSPI trading in July, surpassing retail investors. Analysts point to Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix as key influences on the KOSPI's performance.
