Institutional and foreign investors were net buyers in both KOSPI and KOSDAQ markets on September 4, while individual investors were net sellers.

What Happened

Market Flow: On September 4, both the KOSPI and KOSDAQ markets saw strong buying pressure from institutional and foreign investors. Institutions, in particular, led the market with significant net purchases in the KOSPI index.

Foreign Investment: Foreign investors also maintained a net buying position, contributing to the overall market rally. Their participation in both major indices reflects a positive shift in sentiment toward the Korean equity market.

Individual Selling: Conversely, individual investors were net sellers across both markets, likely taking profits as indices climbed. This resulted in a clear divergence between retail and institutional trading strategies for the day.
