South Korea's financial regulators are contemplating a cap on margin trading, proposing to limit individual stock leverage investments to 20% of total financial investments. This decision comes as the KOSPI index experienced a significant drop, falling over 11% and breaking below 6000 points for the first time since April 14, marking a decline of more than 30% from its June peak.
The proposed regulation aims to address the overheating of single-stock leveraged products, which has led to a substantial number of forced liquidations. As of July 13, the cumulative forced liquidation amount reached 344.2 billion KRW, affecting over 120,000 leveraged retail accounts, with approximately 320,000 to 360,000 accounts fully liquidated by brokers.
Investors should monitor the developments regarding this proposed regulation and its potential impact on the market. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
