KOSPI buy sidecar triggered amid rally in giant semiconductor stocks
As the Kospi index surged on July 21, a sidecar halted program buy orders on the South Korean main bourse.
According to the Korea Exchange, program buy orders were temporarily suspended on the Kospi market at 12:41 p.m.
A buy sidecar on the Kospi is invoked when the benchmark Kospi 200 futures contract moves up by 5% or more from the previous day's closing..
