South Korea’s hottest stock market becomes target for short sellers

Reported · Written up by our desk · Indices

South Korea’s once fast rising stock market is increasingly being targeted by short sellers, according to MarketWatch.

The outlet frames the shift as a change from momentum investing toward strategies that profit if the market falls, with South Korea described as a haven for those positions.

MarketWatch says the underlying theme is that sentiment in the South Korean market has cooled from its earlier surge, making it a more attractive environment for short selling.
