Divergent Moves in Korean Stock Market: Individual vs. Foreign Investors
Amidst the range-bound movement in the Korean stock market, individual investors are heavily purchasing inverse ETFs, betting on a decline in indices. Prominent among their purchases are 'KODEX200 Future Inverse 2X', 'KODEX Inverse', and 'KODEX KOSDAQ 150 Future Inverse'. This reflects a sentiment among individual investors that the market may be bearish in the long term.
Conversely, foreign investors are betting on a market rise by acquiring ETFs like 'KODEX Leverage'. This optimism is partly driven by experts' positive outlook on potential US interest rate cuts. Analysts predict an unusual September bull market, leading to an aggressive purchase trend among foreign investors.
The potential for interest rate cuts predicted by experts is likely to significantly influence investment directions. Concerns are emerging that individual investors' current strategies may result in substantial long-term losses. In this scenario, investors emphasize the necessity of continued analysis and strategy adjustment regarding inverse ETFs.
