Daily Pulse

Korea's capital market, decoded after each trading session.

The Daily Pulse is KoreaAlpha's free briefing on each Korean trading session. It is published on Korean trading days in the evening, Seoul time, once the exchange's investor data is in: that is morning in New York.

What's in Each Edition

The Number That Matters One data point from the session — KOSPI/KOSDAQ close, foreign net flow, or a key disclosure figure — with the two sentences of context that make it actionable.
What Moved the Market Three bullet points on who bought and who sold, not just prices. Not "Samsung rose 2.3%." Rather: which investor group moved it, by how much, and whether it fits the pattern we've been tracking. Where the data does not show why, we say so.
Disclosure Spotlight The single most important shareholder-return filing of the day, decoded. What it literally says. What it actually means. Why a foreign investor should care.
Tomorrow's Watchlist Two events to watch in the next 24 hours — with the specific question each one answers.

Why This Exists

Korea's DART system publishes hundreds of filings every trading day. Most are routine. A handful contain signals that matter. The problem: they're in Korean, buried in regulatory language, and require years of local context to interpret correctly.
We do that work. You get the signal.
