On this day, in the stock market, individual net purchases of approximately 1.16 trillion won (preliminary value before the end of the market) and recorded the highest net purchases since 1999, when there was a related count.

The previous record was on August 10, 2011 (1.55 trillion won), when the financial market continued to be unstable due to the deterioration of the United States’ credit rating.

According to the Korea Financial Investment Association, as of 29 last month, the last day of trading, the balance of credit loans from the stock market and the KOSDAQ market amounted to 9.43 trillion won.

The credit loan balance, the amount of debt investments that individual investors borrowed from a securities firm to buy shares, declined to 6 trillion won per day early last month and then increased again.
