For more market data

It should be noted that the closing auction period comes after the continuous trading period from 3:00 PM to 3:10 PM. During this period, investors can enter buy and sell orders, and then the trading system finds the fair price at which orders are executed after matching them in the auction period. The execution price is the closing price and the reference price for the next day.

The trading session at the closing price extends for ten minutes after the closing auction period from 3:10 PM to 3:20 PM for both the main market and Nomu, in addition to traded subscription rights. Investors can trade during this session at the closing price resulting from the closing auction.
