Episode Description:
Two forces are pulling KOSPI in opposite directions this week.
Margin-call liquidations hit 59.6 billion won for a second straight day, even as Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan double down on Korea's chip rebound and foreign investors post a 3.46 trillion won buying streak. Meanwhile, China's petrochemical oversupply keeps pressuring Korean credit ratings. We break down the numbers behind both sides of the trade before this week's earnings season.
