After KOSPI plummeted over 16% in October, leading to consecutive target price cuts, the market's main focus is whether it can reclaim the 6000 mark ahead of this week's US midterm elections and major economic data releases.
On October 30, market volatility spiked as a sell sidecar was triggered for the first time in 11 sessions due to a sharp drop in Kospi 200 futures. Concerns over the profitability of US Big Tech's AI investments and foreign supply-demand dynamics have emerged as key variables.
On October 23, 2026 (Friday), the domestic stock market experienced a sharp drop of over 4% during the session due to a U.S. tech stock shock and sudden selling pressure. However, boosted by institutional buying in the afternoon, the KOSPI staged a dramatic rebound to recover the 5,550 level. Foreign investors net-sold approximately 1 trillion won, leaving a supply gap, but expectations for record-high earnings supported downside rigidity.
