KOSDAQ150 Index Rebalance Preview: Strong Momentum Leads to Outperformance
- Over two-thirds of the way through the review period, we see 14 potential changes for the KOSDAQ 150 Index (KOSDQ150 INDEX) at the December rebalance.
- There could be index changes even before the December rebalance if there are delistings and stocks migrate from the KOSDAQ Market to the KOSPI Market.
- Momentum in Korea has been strong. The potential adds have outperformed the potential deletes over the last few months and there could be further outperformance.
EQD | KOSPI 200 Index Approaching Resistance
- The KOSPI 200 INDEX last week started to rally, so we want to look at WEEKLY resistance levels to evaluate where the current rally could end.
- MRM Resistance Levels where the rally could stop are: 339, 348, 356.
- Based on the current MRM pattern reading we expect the index to either roll down this week, or to rally for +2 more weeks (CC=+4) and then go down.
