KOSPI crosses 6,500 in a sharp July 31 morning rebound

A market update reported that the KOSPI rebounded sharply and crossed 6,500 during the morning of July 31. The reported rise of more than 16% and foreign net purchases of about 4 trillion won were figures from around 10 a.m., not the closing result or a current quotation. Large semiconductor stocks rose strongly after an earlier slump, affecting the overall index, and a temporary restriction on program trading was triggered. The discussion concerns distinguishing the observation time, sector concentration and cash-versus-futures flows when interpreting large daily moves. Question review (2026-09-14): The original poll was closed because the headline and broad choices did not clearly identify what respondents were judging. Its question, choices, votes, comments, URLs and sources are preserved. The new poll is a separate question with a newly defined scope, not an equivalent version of the old survey. Do not combine their results or compare them as a time series. Separate question: https://askrs.com/en/t/news-scope-20260914-18
