The KOSPI fell short of the 1,900 mark shortly after its opening. It was only three years and one month since June 2016 that the ship was pushed below the 1,900 mark in the market.

At 11:30 am, the KOSPI is down 21 points to 1,925.

The KOSDAQ, which fell yesterday, is rebounding with rebound buying. It is trading at 576, up 6 points.

Foreigners' stock selling tax is concentrated in the KOSPI market. Today we sold 250 billion won.

Foreign exchange market is also stable for the first time. The won-dollar exchange rate is trading at 1,214 won per US dollar, down by 1 won 30 from yesterday.

It is analyzed that the financial market unrest is likely to continue as the US has designated China as a currency manipulation country and the tension between the two countries is intensifying.

As a result, the government held a meeting to discuss the situation.

At the meeting of the government joint inspection team, the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Defense Affairs and Finance Briefing Department said that he will monitor market trends and respond positively to excessive anxiety.
