Individual investors' forced sell-offs surge to the 140 billion won range per day
A surge in forced sell-offs has caused individual investors' forced liquidations to increase fivefold amid stock market volatility. Quickly check the key response points in a market of sharp drops and rebounds.
As the domestic stock market has recently shown significant volatility, the scale of forced stock liquidations by individual investors has increased sharply.
According to the Korea Financial Investment Association, stocks liquidated through forced sale on the 9th amounted to 142.2 billion won, about five times more than the previous day. This is the largest amount this month and the highest level in a month since June 9.
Forced sale is a method by which a securities firm forcibly disposes of stocks when an individual fails to repay shortterm funds borrowed from the brokerage on time. It is interpreted that the recent unstable trend in the KOSPI, which has repeatedly fallen and rebounded, has affected the increase in forced liquidations.
