코스피가 기관과 기타법인의 대규모 순매수에 힘입어 6800선을 회복했다. 이 순매수는 삼성전자와 SK하이닉스의 자사주 매입에 따른 것으로 추정된다.

Lee Kyung-min, a researcher at Daishin Securities, noted, "The supply-demand momentum has strengthened. The large-scale buying by other corporations, likely due to the stock buybacks by Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, has supported the index and shifted market sentiment. Additionally, the reduction in foreign selling and a shift to buying have contributed to the KOSPI's upward movement."
