Woofun AI data shows that foreign investors recorded net sales of $30.72 billion in Korean stocks and bonds during June, marking the fifth consecutive month of negative flows. This follows a $26.15 billion net sell-off in May, with the selling trend persisting since February.

The Bank of Korea attributed the expanded outflows to concerns over overheated artificial intelligence infrastructure investments and weakening sentiment. As domestic equity markets rose, foreign entities reduced holdings through portfolio rebalancing, further accelerating capital exits.
