KOSPI pares losses to 0.1% as local broker says pension funds bought late-session tech shares

South Korea’s benchmark KOSPI briefly erased an earlier drop that had reached 3.6%, then traded down 0.1%, according to Odaily. Samsung Securities stock sales trader Roy Lim said pension funds stepped in late in the session to buy KOSPI component stocks, with a focus on technology names. Lim said the funds were net buyers of KRW 120 billion worth of shares within 20 minutes. Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix were little changed after both had earlier fallen more than 4% and later recovered those losses. Flow data cited in the report showed retail investors were net buyers of KRW 785 billion in KOSPI stocks, while foreign investors were net sellers of KRW 931 billion. The small-cap KOSDAQ index also cut its earlier decline, narrowing from 4% to about 0.8%. The report attributes the late rebound in the benchmark index in part to pension-related buying described by the Samsung Securities trader.
