South Korea\'s KOSPI fell on Thursday as foreigners stepped up selling, but it held the 7,000 mark after recovering most intraday losses on buying by institutions and retail investors. The index closed down 0.25% at 7,033.92 after briefly sliding to the 6,900 level. Foreigners were net sellers of 2.49 trillion won, while individuals and institutions were net buyers.
