True
The KOSPI finished just beneath the 6,900 level, carried by a strong session for semiconductor shares, as foreign investors turned net buyers for the first time in eight trading days.
Overseas investors, absent from the buy side for eight straight trading days, came back into the market in the latest session. Their return added weight to an advance that carried the benchmark to the doorstep of 6,900 before the close, marking a shift in foreign positioning after a prolonged run of net selling.
Semiconductor issues supplied the main tailwind, with strength across chip names lifting the index through the session. The sector โ a core engine of the Korean market โ kept the benchmark pressing against the 6,900 mark into the final stretch of trading, leaving the index settled just under that level at the close.
The combination of a chip-led advance and the re-entry of foreign funds after an eight-session hiatus defined the session's character: renewed confidence in the semiconductor trade, backed by a fresh wave of overseas demand. On the verified closing level, the semiconductor-driven momentum and the timing of the foreign about-face, the claim is True.
