Interpretation guide
How to read major market momentum
The Major Market Momentum radar puts KOSPI, KOSDAQ, the S&P 500, NASDAQ, Shanghai Composite, and USD/KRW on one comparison table. It is a quick way to see whether Korea is moving with global risk appetite and whether FX pressure is helping or hurting the move.
What it compares
The table compares the latest level, daily change, five-session weekly change, and year-to-date change. Putting equity indexes and FX on the same screen makes the market backdrop easier to scan.
- Daily change shows the immediate market reaction.
- Weekly change helps separate a one-day move from a short-term trend.
- Year-to-date change shows where capital has persisted since the start of the year.
Interpretation rules
When KOSPI, KOSDAQ, and U.S. indexes are strong together, risk appetite is broad. If Korean equities rise while USD/KRW also rises, foreign-flow pressure should be checked separately.
- KOSPI strength with KOSDAQ weakness points to a large-cap-led tape.
- NASDAQ strength can spill into Korean growth and semiconductor sentiment.
- Rising USD/KRW signals won weakness and can reduce the quality of a local equity rebound.
How to respond
This table is market context, not a stand-alone trade signal. Use it first, then cross-check breadth, new highs, turnover, and flow screens before acting.
- If Korea is strong, check market breadth and turnover-spike screens next.
- If the U.S. is strong, compare U.S. breadth with mega-cap concentration.
- If FX is unfavorable, cross-check foreign flows and KOSPI direction.
