Foreign Investors Return as Buyers in South Korea Stocks Amid AI Recovery Signals
Foreign investors have turned net buyers in South Korea’s stock market, marking a sharp reversal after weeks of sustained selling and signalling renewed confidence in the country’s technology-heavy equity landscape. The shift comes as concerns around artificial intelligence-linked demand ease and global risk appetite improves. Data from the Korea Exchange shows overseas investors bought local shares worth nearly 1.9 trillion won between December 1 and early this week, reversing the heavy outflows seen in November.
