Korean stock volatility drives retail investors back to U.S. markets

Repeated sharp swings in South Korea\'s stock market are pushing retail money back into U.S. equities. Credit-financed stock balances and unsettled trading receivables have fallen, while investor deposits remain above 100 trillion won. Retail investors turned from heavy buying of SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics to net selling in late July. Net buying of U.S. shares surged, led by the 3-times leveraged semiconductor ETF SOXL. A lower won-dollar exchange rate also reduced costs.

Korea stocks outlook: KOSPI loses momentum as FOMC, chipmakers and Big Tech earnings in focus

South Korean stocks are expected to seek direction this week as investors watch the U.S. Federal Open Market Committee and earnings from domestic semiconductor firms and U.S. Big Tech. The KOSPI and Kosdaq posted sharp losses as risk aversion rose amid Middle East tensions, higher oil prices and rising U.S. Treasury yields. Analysts said profit forecasts have not deteriorated materially, and chip and AI-related guidance, foreign flows and Fed policy signals will be key drivers.
