đ°đ· Korean Investors Boost Margin Borrowing as Stocks Rally đ
Stock loans in South Korea have surged to around 31.3 trillion won (~$21.5B) as investors borrow more to buy shares.
The rally in the KOSPI has outperformed many global markets, attracting strong speculative demand. đ
â ïž While this boosts market momentum, rising leverage also increases risk if volatility returns.
Higher margin activity = stronger short-term upside, but bigger downside if sentiment shifts.
