Foreign net buying

Foreign investors buying more (by value) than they sell over a period.
Also known as: Foreign investor flows

What it is

Net buying means purchases exceed sales. Foreign net buying means foreign investors as a group bought more than they sold that day; the opposite is net selling.

Why it matters

Foreign investors trade a large share of Korean large caps, so daily flows by foreigners, institutions and individuals are closely watched.

What to keep in mind

Flows mix long-term money with short-term trades tied to the won and index futures. Multi-day trends say more than a single day.
