[June 24] Kstock Today Summary

KOSPI loses 0.44% and KOSDAQ 1.57%. Financing, shipping earnings and a treasury-share cancellation provide selective catalysts.

KOSPI climbed to 7,171.52 but closed at 6,954.52 as oil, FX and policy risks overwhelmed early AI optimism. Nuclear EPC, selected chip equipment and refiners held up best.

The KOSPI faded from an intraday high of 6,795.53 to close down 0.04%, while the KOSDAQ gained 0.76%. Shipbuilding, defense, space components and banks outperformed mega-cap chips.

Korea’s September 29 close: weak breadth beneath a KOSDAQ recovery, a Hanmi equipment order, diverging HLB shares and a volatile robotics IPO.
