- Samsung Electronics and SK hynix set fresh records near 206,000 won and 1.04 million won, with autos joining the advance as Hyundai Motor spiked about 9 percent and Kia jumped double digits intraday.
- Foreign investors were net sellers of roughly 1 trillion won during the session, while individuals and institutions absorbed the supply with sizeable net purchases.
- Parliament’s push to require cancellation of repurchased treasury shares advanced through committee, a step investors view as supportive for valuations and shareholder returns.
