코스피 반등하자 외국인 귀환…개인 일주일 새 9조 매도

South Korea's KOSPI index rebounded strongly this week as foreign investors returned to the market, capitalizing on hopes for an extended US-Iran ceasefire. While foreign and institutional investors drove the rally with combined net buying of $8.9 trillion, retail investors reversed course and sold $8.9 trillion in accumulated positions. This shift signals a potential market transition from geopolitical anxiety toward corporate earnings fundamentals, though ongoing regional tensions remain a key monitoring point.
