KOSPI stabilizes with foreign buying signal
Korean stocks (KOSPI) are finding stability after entering a technical bear market, supported by a huge oversubscribed SK Hynix AD sale that shows enthusiasm for memory chip makers, and by foreign buying for two straight days — analysis indicates foreign investors are good judges of market direction, with the KOSPI tending to rise more after they add to holdings.

SK Hynix's massive US AD sale, worth around $25 billion and seven times oversubscribed, demonstrates strong investor appetite for the stock and for the large South Korean memory chip makers.
