Korea's Retail Traders Make $1.6 Billion Bet Against KOSPI

Original: Korea's Retail Traders Just Made a $1.6 Billion Bet Against the Crowd as KOSPI Sinks

South Korean retail traders have placed roughly $1.6 billion in bets against the market as the KOSPI index falls. The move puts individual investors on the opposite side of institutional money, a contrarian position that is drawing attention as the benchmark index slides. Commentators are watching whether the crowd-prompted sell-off will prove the retail traders right.

Why now: The KOSPI's decline has put retail investors in a high-stakes contrarian position that traders are debating.
