Samsung's buyback drew record short selling instead of a relief rally.
Short interest in Samsung Electronics hit 8.81 percent of turnover on August 24, more than three times its yearly average, while the KOSPI's overall short share climbed to 5.20 percent in August. Margin loan balances rose above 32 trillion won in three weeks. New listings have flipped from an average 132.4 percent first-day gain in the second quarter to a 4.62 percent loss since July. Cosmetics ETFs, meanwhile, topped Korea's one-month performance table.
