On July 6, the KOSPI, which had risen to the 8,300 level during the session, fell back to the 7,900 range. The decline is believed to have been driven by selling from foreign investors and institutions.

On the 6th, employees were monitoring the stock market and exchange rates in the dealing room at the headquarters of Hana Bank in Jung-gu, Seoul. On that day, the KOSPI opened at 8,186.82, up 98.48 points (1.22%) from the previous session, while the KOSDAQ index started at 866.40, down 2.01 points (0.23%). July 6, 2026 Photo by Yongjun Cho
