The timing divides the paths — the KOSPI large caps set their lows around 09:06 and their highs around 09:32. SK hynix ran from a low of -4.6% to a high of -1.09%, Samsung Electronics from -4.28% to -1.56%.The sharply higher names peaked later — Kumho Electric at 09:49, Onconic Therapeutics at 10:46, JW Shinyak at 10:13 and SK Innovation at 11:44.Doosan Enerbility’s open of -2.04% was also its high, and it set a low of -7.37% at 10:58 — alone in the list in falling through the whole morning.KOSDAQ investor flows were not received today either — the fallback route covers KOSPI only.
