Early-August KOSPI trading value and volume fall to yearly lows

An August 9 report described a decline in average daily KOSPI trading value and volume during the beginning of the month. The reported daily trading value was about 26 trillion won, substantially below the more active period in May and June. Because the figures covered the early part of an unfinished month, they should not be read as final monthly statistics or current market conditions. Index performance and the amount of trading measure different things. The discussion concerns what reduced trading may indicate about investors waiting on the sidelines and the breadth of market participation.
