Domestic Stock Exchange's 'Evolution' of KRW 250 Trillion...Overseas stock markets are 'highly charged'

As stocks in major foreign countries continue to rise, domestic stocks have evaporated by more than 250 trillion won this year alone.

The Korea Exchange announced that the KOSPI market capitalization was KRW 1,966.957 trillion and the KOSDAQ recorded KRW 333.874 trillion as of the closing price on the 27th.

Compared to last year, the market capitalization decrease reached 253.93 trillion won, of which Samsung Electronics' market capitalization decrease was 148 trillion won, accounting for more than half.

Experts analyzed that the domestic stock market has not found a clue to a rebound in the second half of the year due to uncertainties due to rising exchange rates and political instability caused by martial law.

On the other hand, the U.S. S&P 500 rose 26.58% and Japan's Nikkei 225 rose 20.37%, while the China Shanghai Composite Index and Hong Kong Hang Seng Index also rose 14.26% and 17.82%.
