KOSPI Rebounds to 7291 as Bank Stocks Outshine a Shaky Semiconductor Rally | July 10 2026 [d0KQwl6HQja]
Episode Description:The index bounced, but individual investors are still selling — here's why bank stocks are having a moment. The KOSPI closed at 7291.91, up 0.62%, ending a three-day slide that had pulled the index down nearly 20% from its peak on AI and semiconductor doubts. Individual investors kept net selling even as the index recovered, while bank stocks like Shinhan Financial Group rallied 9.60% this month on dividend and buyback expectations. Regulators denied a viral rumor of a 20% cap on single-stock leverage ETFs, but the volatility concern behind it persists. Meanwhile, gold mining ETFs slid sharply after JPMorgan cut its price target, showing the AI-driven rotation extends well beyond Korean equities.
