  "summary": "In July, foreign investors continued to sell Korean securities, marking the sixth consecutive month of net sales, according to data from the Bank of Korea (BOK). The foreign investors sold a total of $21.65 billion worth of local stocks and bonds in July, following a similar pattern in June. The sell-off has been attributed to a market readjustment, with the BOK noting that the stock market correction and geopolitical tensions have discouraged foreign investors from rebalancing their portfolios. Additionally, the strengthening of the Korean won against the U.S. dollar can be attributed to reduced foreign portfolio rebalancing, as the greenback has recently been weak globally.",
