Episode Description:
KOSPI just missed the 7000 mark again, and oil prices plus rate concerns are the reason why.
The index fell 0.58 percent, or 40.87 points, to close at 6,954.52 as foreign investors turned net sellers. Earnings estimates were also cut across chemical, construction, and insurance stocks, drawing investor attention to those sectors. Traders are watching whether a clearer catalyst emerges before Kospi can hold above 7000.
