KOSPI closed below 5500 for the first time since April as foreign investors sold heavily and Middle East tensions weighed on sentiment.
KOSPI fell 1.46 percent to 5469.47 and KOSDAQ dropped 3.26 percent, both to their weakest levels in months. Foreign investors net sold more than 700 billion won while domestic institutions and individuals provided only partial support. Attention now shifts to the FOMC decision, big tech earnings, and the Samsung and SK Hynix third-quarter results.

00:003 numbers before the open, 5,469.47, 80.83 points lower, and a 7-month low.
00:08Foreign investors sold more than 700,000,000,000 today.
00:12That's the signal the market is reacting to.
00:14Here's what the numbers show.
00:15KOSPI closed at 5,469.47, down 1.46%.
00:20It was the lowest close since April 6, when the index settled at 5,450.33.
00:27The index opened at 5,499.05, and the selling picked up into the close.
00:34It's Tuesday, October 27.
00:36Here's what today's story could mean for the Korean market.
00:38Let's look at the numbers behind the move.
00:40KOSPI fell 1.46% to 5,469.47, its lowest close since April.
00:48KOSDAT dropped 3.26% to 727.21, its weakest level since July 31.
00:55Foreign investors' net sold more than 700,000,000,000, while institutions bought 610.6,000,000,000,
01:02and individuals bought 58,000,000,000.
01:04The domestic buying wasn't enough to hold the index up.
01:07Brent crude hit $116.72 a barrel on Thursday, its highest level since late April,
01:14after reports the United States and Israel were weighing renewed strikes on Iran.
01:18Samsung Electronics closed at 213,001, down 1.16%.
01:24SK Hynix finished at 1,275,001, down 0.16%, after trading higher during the session.
01:32Reports of a possible special dividend of about $16,000,000,000, funded by gains from the
01:38Keoxia stake sale, lifted buying interest.
01:41But SK Hynix said nothing has been decided, and the stock turned lower by the close.
01:45So what does this mean for stock investors heading into this week?
01:49The FOMC decision, earnings from Microsoft, Google, and Amazon,
01:53and the Samsung and SK Hynix third quarter results all land within days.
01:58Those are the catalysts to watch.
02:00Earlier, we said the SK Hynix dividend report was unconfirmed.
02:04Here's what that actually means for you.
02:06Until the company announces the details on October 28th,
02:09the number is speculation, not a position signal.
02:12That's today's AI Prism, stock investors.
02:15This episode was produced with AI assistance based on Seoul Economic Daily Reporting.
02:20AI Prism is a Juan IFRA award-winning series.
02:24We'll be back tomorrow.
