The KOSPI rose by 1.89% from the previous month to 2,391.79 points at the end of June 2017, realizing bullish

market for seven months in a row. After a sharp increase in the previous month, the KOSPI has maintained a stable

growth backed by strong purchasing power. In the technical aspect, both the KOSPI and well-ordered mid and long-

term moving average lines raise the expectation on additional growth.

This rally resulted mainly from expectations on global economic recovery. Major global stock markets have made a

valuable progress since the increase of the key U.S. interest rate, shaping a clear direction. The improvement of

economic indices of leading countries, favorable operating performances of companies, and expectations on global

economic growth have led to a preference on risky assets.

The overwhelming view in the stock market is an additional growth in July. This is underpinned by expectations on

favorable investment environment. Meanwhile, the stock market seems to face decoupling in the aspects of asset,

region, and growth speed in the near future.
