Methodology: Real-time DART API + market data from yfinance/KRX, reviewed before publication. Tuesday, April 28, 2026 A sharp divergence defined Korean equity markets on Tuesday. The KOSPI gained 25.99 points (+0.39%) to close at 6,641.02 , holding its footing despite mild risk-off signals from Tokyo.

Over the decade spanning 2016 to 2026, the two benchmarks delivered strikingly different risk-return profiles, moved in and out of correlation with one another, and reflected vastly different sectoral bets on the global economy.

Methodology: Real-time DART API + market data from yfinance/KRX, reviewed before publication. Image: KOSPI via Wikipedia (CC BY-SA) Last updated: May 2026 Foreign ownership of KOSPI-listed equities is one of the most closely watched metrics in Korean capital markets — and for good reason.
