The Korea Exchange (KRX) has activated a buy-side sidecar for the KOSPI index following a sharp rise in the benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index. The KOSPI surged over 3 percent higher at the opening, gaining 325.34 points, or 5.03 percent, to 6,790.39 as of 9:59 a.m. This prompted the suspension of program trading for five minutes at 9:58 a.m. The KOSPI rebounded after plummeting nearly 6 percent the previous session, mirroring overnight gains on Wall Street as U.S. Treasury yields eased due to plans for increased government debt buybacks.
A buy-side sidecar is activated when the KOSPI 200 Futures Index rises by 5 percent or more for at least one minute, as was the case on Thursday.
