What happened that day?

  • On 9 June 2026 the KOSPI rose 8.18%, closing at 8,096.93
  • It came straight after a fall bad enough to stop trading, and the view spread that it had gone too far
  • The two chip names simply reversed, and with their weight the index went with them
  • A jump the day after a crash is ordinary. Sellers are already out, so everyone crowds the other way
  • This was not the bottom, though. The slide resumed at the end of June
  • In the stretch that followed the index fell 38.63% from its peak
  • That low came on 30 July
