Thematic (Sector/Industry)

We have a very interesting trade pattern last week. Local institutions continued to have their selling mood as they have net sold ₩783.7bil worth of Korean stocks between Oct 16-20. In contrast, both foreign and local retail investors have gone the opposite way. Foreigners have net purchased ₩379.8bil worth of Korean stocks during this period and local retail investors have net purchased ₩234.4bil worth of Korean stocks during this period. What is noteworthy is that both foreigners and local retail investors have mainly scooped up KOSDAQ stocks. Apparently, they are still betting that the investing paradigm in Korea is shifting toward SMID cap stocks as the once powerful passive investing paradigm appears to be coming to an end. <table class="table table-striped"><tbody><tr><td>Net trade for last week (Oct 16-20)</td><td>Total (₩)</td><td>KOSPI (₩)</td><td>KOSDAQ (₩)</td></tr><tr><td>Local institutional</td><td>-783,714,043,180</td><td>-337,665,260,486</td><td>-446,125,167,095</td></tr><tr><td>Foreign</td><td>+379,774,988,799</td><td>+90,264,313,591</td><td>+289,510,267,808</td></tr><tr><td>Local retail</td><td>+234,442,682,049</td><td>+24,916,074,535</td><td>+209,658,109,195</td></tr><tr><td colspan="4">Source: KRX</td></tr></tbody></table>
