"AI Investment Sentiment" Drives Foreign Net Inflow into Stock Market in October... Bonds Turn to Net Outflow

Foreign capital continued to flow into the domestic securities market for the second consecutive month. However, the scale of net inflows decreased due to profit-taking following stock price increases and selling pressure on short-term bonds. According to the "Trends in International Financial and Foreign Exchange Markets after October 2025" released by the Bank of Korea on November 13, there was a net inflow of $2.29 billion in foreign capital into the domestic stock and bond markets last month. Although the net inflow trend continued for a second month, the scale was smaller than the previous month's $9.12 billion. Stock funds saw a net inflow of $3.02 billion. A Bank of Korea official explained, "There has been a net inflow for six consecutive months, driven by sustained global investment sentiment in artificial intelligence (AI)," but added, "The pace of inflows has slowed due to profit-taking following stock price increases."

iM: "Why Are Domestic Government Bond Yields and the Exchange Rate Surging Together?... Stability Expected"

The simultaneous sharp rise in domestic government bond yields and the exchange rate has been attributed to increased uncertainty surrounding the Bank of Korea's monetary policy, the weakening of the Japanese yen, and external factors such as a short-term funding squeeze in the United States. However, there are expectations that this surge will gradually subside. Park Sanghyun, a researcher at iM Securities, stated in a report titled "Why Are Domestic Government Bond Yields and the Exchange Rate Surging Together?" released on November 13, 2025, "An unusual phenomenon is occurring in the domestic financial market. While government bond yields and the exchange rate are surging, stock prices are also showing strength." He explained, "This is due to a temporary shift in capital flows caused by policy uncertainty, rather than a deterioration in domestic or overseas economic fundamentals or credit risk."
