  "summary": "The KOSPI index fell below 7,000 on October 6, following the National Foundation Day holiday, as foreign investors sold heavily and large-cap semiconductor stocks weakened. The KOSDAQ market, however, surged nearly 3%, driven by the rise of secondary batteries, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and materials, parts, and equipment-related stocks. Foreign investors were the primary cause of the KOSPI's decline, selling 1.7509 trillion won worth of stocks, while retail investors and institutional investors net bought 740.6 billion won and 1.1030 trillion won, respectively. Despite this, the KOSPI closed at 6,941.39, down 0.89% from the previous day, while the KOSDAQ index skyrocketed to 919.92, up 2.98%.",
