KRX activates sell-side sidecar for KOSPI on sharp fall
MeridStreet AI summaryThe Korea Exchange (KRX) activated a sell-side sidecar for the KOSPI, a measure to stabilize the market, after the benchmark stock index experienced a sharp fall. This move is intended to prevent a free fall in stock prices by limiting the amount of selling that can occur in a short period of time. The KRX's decision to activate the sidecar was likely made in response to the significant decline in the KOSPI, which lost 5.6 percent of its value in a matter of minutes.
