South Korean Retail Investors Shift Billions from Local to US Stocks
Original: Retail Investors Dump ₩5.6 Trillion in Korean Stocks in Q3, Pile $7.6 Billion into U.S. Equities
South Korean retail investors sold a net 5.6 trillion won of domestic equities in the third quarter while directing roughly 7.6 billion dollars into US stocks. The outflows point to a continued preference for American markets, driven by the dollar's strength, the appeal of US tech giants, and frustration with sluggish returns in the home market. The scale of the shift is drawing attention to pressure on Korean market liquidity.
Why now: The large-scale rotation of retail money out of Korean equities into US markets highlights persistent capital flight concerns for Seoul.
