Today (15th), the KOSPI index ended lower due to the sale of both foreigners and institutions. Although vaccination has begun in some countries, Corona 19 is re-spreading worldwide, and the possibility of raising social distancing to the third stage is increasing in Korea.
Negotiations of additional stimulus measures in the US are struggling, and uncertainties in the UK due to the possibility of a no-deal Brexit have risen. After the short-term surge, the market seems to have cooled down as the market is experiencing a crisis as the market uncertainty increases. The domestic stock market, which is concerned that social distancing from the spread of Corona 19, will rise to the third stage, is likely to see a decline in stock prices, mainly in the service industry, when the third stage is raised.
The KOSPI index closed at 2756.82, down 5.38 points (0.19%) from yesterday. It started slightly higher than yesterday, but soon turned downward and remained weak. Institutional and foreigners net sold KRW 237.5 billion and KRW 372.4 billion, respectively, leading the downtrend, and in response to this, individuals defended the index by net buying 607.7 billion KRW. Foreigners continued selling for 4 consecutive trading days.
By industry, medical precision (+2.56%), insurance (+0.69%), machinery (+0.40%), chemicals (+0.35%) rose, followed by steel and metals (-1.68%), construction (-1.33%), and paper. Wood (-1.27%) and food and beverage (-1.19%) ended lower.
코스닥 마감 시황 (KOSDAQ closing market)
The KOSDAQ index closed at 931.27, up 1.73 points (0.19%) from yesterday. In the KOSDAQ market, institutions and foreigners net sold 72.3 billion won and 72.3 billion won, respectively, and individuals net bought 1976 billion won.

환율과 유가 (Exchange rates and oil prices)
The won-dollar exchange rate recorded 1,094.50 won (+2.00 won, +0.18%), showing a weakening of the won for 4 consecutive days, and the international oil price (WTI) recorded 46.99$ (+0.9%), the highest since March.
The research results showed that the Korean Won-dollar exchange rate at the break-even point of SMEs was 1,118 won. The recent decline in the exchange rate is expected to lead to significant losses. Various support policies are needed to overcome Corona 19, prevent deteriorating profitability of domestic SMEs, and expand exports.
