KOSPI rebounds about 11.5% over a week, while KOSDAQ rises about 8.2%

A review of the second week of August reported that the KOSPI rose about 11.5% and the KOSDAQ about 8.2% between the August 7 and August 14 closes. The headline percentages referred to a weekly comparison, not a single day or an intraday move. Major US indexes were mixed during the same period, while exchange rates, bond yields and commodities moved in different directions. A rebound in Korean indexes alone does not establish an improvement in conditions for every asset. The topic concerns matching comparison periods, currencies and asset types when interpreting markets.
