Korea Exchange Triggers Buy-Side Sidecar as KOSPI Surges 5.5% to Add $225 Billion
The Korea Exchange halted program trading for five minutes on Friday after triggering a buy-side sidecar for the KOSPI index, which surged 5.5% to add more than $225 billion in market value. The sharp rally was led by semiconductor shares.
The buy-side halt follows two consecutive sell-side sidecars that activated during the recent market decline. The rapid rebound has shifted trading momentum, with the benchmark index reclaiming a significant portion of its recent losses as chip stocks dominated session volume.
