KOSPI 5,000 barely holds as battery rout erases a 2% rally
The KOSPI 5,000 line barely held on Nov 9, 2026: close 5,018.85 (-0.81%) after a 2.24% intraday gain. Batteries fell 5-11% on profit-taking and foreigners sold for a 7th day; institutional buying of about 720 billion won (~$530 million) cushioned the drop.
