After opening to 2993.34, a 2.77 point increase from yesterday (5th), the KOSPI immediately expanded and broke the 3,000 line.



It is the first time that the KOSPI has crossed the 3,000 line, and it has been 13 years and 5 months since it first crossed 2,000 on July 25, 2007.



The KOSPI, which fell to the 1,450 line due to the spread of Corona 19 in March last year, has continued to surge from the end of the year, opening the first 3,000 era in history.



Individual investors called Donghak ants played a big role in the KOSPI 3000 breakthrough.



The liquidity released by the low interest rate and expansionary fiscal policy to respond to Corona 19 has continued to rise as the stock market has driven a large amount of liquidity.



While major securities firms are raising the top of this year's KOSPI forecast to more than 3,000, there are concerns that too much money is being focused on the financial market amid the sluggish real economy such as production, employment, and consumption.



Finally, the heads of the economy warned.



Deputy Prime Minister Hong Nam-ki expressed concern over the real-financial gap, and said that increased liquidity should be cautious of the possibility that increased liquidity could lead to a shift in the asset market and a surge in debt.



Bank of Korea Governor Lee Ju-yeol also ordered a high level of caution, saying, "The high level of debt can greatly shake the market even in a small shock."
