Foreign Investors Extend Korean Stock Selling Streak to Seven Months

Foreign investors have extended their selling streak in South Korean equities to a seventh consecutive month in July, withdrawing over 31 trillion won ($22.45 billion) from the country's listed stock markets, according to the Financial Supervisory Service's July 2026 report on foreign investment in securities. While foreign investors were net sellers of 31.64 trillion won worth of listed shares during the month, they continued to invest in bonds for a fourth straight month, making net investments of 2.39 trillion won.

The sustained selling has significantly reduced the value of foreign investors' Korean equity holdings, with their holdings dropping by 653.1 trillion won from the end of June.
