Net selling extended a trend that began in April, with KSD data pointing to renewed domestic market interest as semiconductor-led gains lift local equities.
South Korean retail investors net sold $793.67 million of overseas stocks in the first week of June, extending a run of net selling that started in April. KSD data showed the outflow was well above April's $469 million and close to May's record $939.77 million. The pattern suggests some investors may be shifting money back into the domestic stock market as semiconductor-led gains support local equities.
