South Korea's KOSPI index once plunged as much as 8.8% today (8th), triggering a circuit breaker mechanism. However, Timothy Moe, Chief Asia Pacific Equity Strategist at G Sachs, said the South Korean stock market is poised for a rebound, with fundamentals remaining very strong. In the long run, this should be a technical correction.

He noted that speculative activities by South Korean retail investors had increased previously, but leveraged ETF investors are now seen exiting the market.
