KOSPI briefly falls below 7,000 as South Korea market records 35 sidecar triggers this year

South Korea’s benchmark KOSPI briefly dropped below the 7,000 level during trading, triggering the market’s seventh circuit breaker of the year, according to a report cited by Odaily. The move marked the first time in nearly two months that the index fell below 7,000 in intraday trading, with the last such breach dating back to May 4. The report said renewed geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and Iran drove heavy selling by foreign and institutional investors. Foreign investors were net sellers of 2.23 trillion won, while institutions sold about 570 billion won. Retail investors moved the other way, posting net purchases of nearly 2.7 trillion won. Within the institutional category, the National Pension Service recorded net buying of about 220 billion won. Volatility in the South Korean stock market has been intense in recent sessions. In morning trading, sell-side pressure triggered the 18th suspension of program trading, known locally as a sidecar, this year. A circuit breaker was then activated in the afternoon. So far this year, the market has seen 17 buy-side sidecar triggers and 18 sell-side triggers, for a total of 35.
