Posco DX Included in KOSPI 200 IT Sector Index: Exploring Flow Trading Implications

By Sanghyun Park

  • I confirmed that Posco DX will be incorporated into the KOSPI 200 IT Sector Index. The implementation date for this is also scheduled for March 15th.
  • The direct flow size from the KOSPI 200 IT into Posco DX is approximately 0.3x ADTV, implying a noteworthy price impact on March 14th, concentrated from 2:00 PM to close. 
  • When designing Posco DX’s March 14 KOSPI 200 inclusion flow setup, we must also proactively design strategies to capture flows from the KOSPI 200 IT within a narrow time window.
