Retail Investors Chase Rally as FOMO Shapes Buying in Surging Market

Hankyung reported that retail investors entered chase-buying even after prices had already risen sharply. The original headline highlighted that individual investors, often called “ants” in Korea, appeared unable to withstand FOMO during a strong rally. FOMO refers to the fear of missing out and was presented as a factor influencing buying decisions when markets move quickly higher. The report can be read as an example of how retail sentiment reacts in a rising market. The source text did not provide specific stocks, dates, amounts, or index figures. Source: hankyung.com
