Foreigners net sold over KRW 2.8 trillion, leading to a decline in the index.

Institutions also sold over a trillion won and joined the net selling tax.

On the other hand, individual investors supported the bottom of the index with net purchases of over 3.78 trillion won.

It is the third largest individual net purchase ever.

KOSDAQ finished trading at 913.94, down 22.27 points and 2.38% from the previous trading day.

The won-dollar exchange rate rose 15.7 won and closed at 1,123.5 won for one dollar.

The daily increase is the largest since the 20 won increase on March 23 last year.
