South Korean stock market leverage investment reaches a record high

MarsBitNews
Mars Finance News, May 20 — According to data from the Korea Financial Investment Association cited by Barchart, the leverage investment amount (margin loans) in the Korean stock market has surged to approximately 35 trillion Korean won, reaching a record high, indicating that traders in the country’s stock market are holding extremely aggressive positions. Recently, due to negotiations and strikes related to Samsung Electronics and union labor treatment issues, the Korean stock market experienced significant volatility. High leverage and high retail investor participation have also, to some extent, exacerbated market fluctuations.

Korean retail investors are treating the stock market like a casino; a single strike by Samsung causes panic.

High retail investor proportion + high leverage, a typical fragile combination

Korean investors' level of risk-taking is no less than that of the cryptocurrency community.

On the day Samsung's talks with the union collapsed, how much of the 35 trillion yuan evaporated?
