Foreign investors sold nearly $10 billion worth of South Korean stocks last month, marking the largest scale of net selling in history.

Data released by South Korea's financial regulatory agency on Friday showed that overseas investors sold the largest amount of Korean stocks ever in April, due to the market crash caused by US tariff policies. The data showed that overseas investors net sold 13.59 trillion Korean won worth of Korean stocks last month, compared to 1.64 trillion Korean won in the previous month. This is the ninth consecutive month that foreign investors have sold Korean stocks.
