Bond Market Analysis
PASS 1 (Verified global sources) — Status: ❌ No news or cause found
No official or global disclosures explain the price movement during the specified time window (2025-09-21 15:30 JST → 2025-09-23 09:01 JST); Korea Exchange (KIND) public filings for KCC show no material disclosure dated inside that window (most recent KCC KIND filings in September are dated 2025-09-03 / 2025-09-05 / 2025-09-08). (kind.krx.co.kr)

Major financial news portals’ company quote/news pages (Bloomberg / Yahoo Finance) show market quotes for 002380.KS but do not carry a KCC-specific press release or event with a timestamp inside the window. (bloomberg.com)
PASS 2 (Local sentiment & rumor tracking) — Status: 🟡 Likely cause not identified / No local signals
I searched Korean and regional market quote / bulletin pages (Investing.com / TwelveData / Investing JP / Yahoo TW) and found price and technical data but no localized confirmation (Kabutan / Minkabu / PayPay / Rakuten / SBI) or social-media-sourced rumors that clearly explain a -2.0% intraday move in the specified window. (kr.investing.com)
If you require, I can now (A) run a live X/Twitter scrape for the exact JST minutes of the drop, or (B) monitor KRX / company IR for any immediate post-window disclosures — tell me which you prefer.

Bond Analysis Report: 002380.KS
Executive Summary

Status: ❌ Confirmed catalyst not found. No official / global disclosures or exchange filings attributable to KCC during 2025-09-21 15:30 JST → 2025-09-23 09:01 JST that explain the intraday -2.0% move. (kind.krx.co.kr)  
The only proximate corporate fixed‑income activity visible in September is a KRX (KIND) filing on 2025-09-03 describing an 82.02bn KRW acquisition-and-cancellation plan for part of the 109th convertible bond with payment scheduled for 2025-09-24; that is factual but outside the specified window and not presented as a cause of the Sep21–23 price move. (kind.krx.co.kr)  
Market data pages confirm the stock moved in the range consistent with a modest intraday -2% move; absent a disclosed credit or corporate event, immediate bond credit fundamentals appear unchanged based on available public filings. (twelvedata.com)

Price Movement Analysis

Observed move: -2.0% intraday drop (user-provided: Prev 425,500 → Current 417,000 = -2.00%). This magnitude is within ordinary daily volatility for this liquid large‑cap (daily moves of 1–3% are regularly observed on the KRX per historical data). (twelvedata.com)  
Volume / technical context: public regional quote / technical pages show price/MA/RSI trends for September but do not attach the drop to any news item or official disclosure. There is no exchange suspension, no trading halt, and no KRX material disclosure timestamped in the window. (kr.investing.com)

Market Context & News Analysis

KRX (KIND) filings in early September: KCC filed multiple amendments to a debt securities prospectus and disclosed a plan to acquire and cancel a portion of the 109th convertible bond (82.02bn KRW acquisition; payment scheduled 2025-09-24). These are documented KRX filings (2025-09-03, 09-05, 09-08). None are dated in the 2025-09-21 15:30 JST → 2025-09-23 09:01 JST window nor do they constitute a fresh disclosure in that window. (kind.krx.co.kr)  
No article, official press release, or rating action from Bloomberg / Reuters / Nikkei / FT / WSJ / major rating agencies or KRX was found that explains the price move during the specified window; quote pages for 002380.KS show market pricing but no press release dated to the window. (bloomberg.com)

Bond Impact Assessment

Fact: KCC has active convertible-bond related corporate action disclosed 2025-09-03 (acquisition & cancellation plan for 109th CB; payment scheduled 2025-09-24). This is a material debt-related disclosure earlier in the month and is documented on KRX (KIND). Bond investors should be aware of the scheduled CB cash flow on 2025-09-24. (kind.krx.co.kr)  
Impact from observed -2.0% equity move (no confirmed catalyst): absent a contemporaneous credit event (default, covenant breach, rating action, material negative disclosure) there is no direct evidence from public filings that bond credit quality has changed in the specified window. Therefore immediate spread widening tied to a credit fundamental change is not supported by public documents. (kind.krx.co.kr)  
Potential short-term market technicals (unverified): an equity pullback of ~2% could cause mark-to-market moves in equity‑sensitive convertibles but that is a market-technical channel — it is not an issuer-credit channel unless the company files an adverse disclosure. No such issuer disclosure was found in the window. (twelvedata.com)

Risk Factors (to monitor)

Scheduled: CB acquisition payment / cancellation on 2025-09-24 (per KRX filing) — monitor confirmation that the payment/transaction completed as scheduled. Failure/delay would be a credit event to monitor. (kind.krx.co.kr)  
Rating actions / rating agency commentary — none found in window; watch Moody’s / S&P / Fitch feeds for any re‑assessments. (No rating action found in the checked sources in the window.) (bloomberg.com)  
New KRX (KIND) filings, management guidance, large insider/major shareholder trades, litigation or regulatory actions — any of these would be material; no such filings dated 2025-09-21→09-23 were identified. (kind.krx.co.kr)

Conclusion & Recommendations

Conclusion: There is no verifiable, source-backed corporate disclosure or third‑party news item during 2025-09-21 15:30 JST → 2025-09-23 09:01 JST explaining the ~-2% intraday equity move for 002380.KS. Absent an issuer-driven disclosure, the move appears to be market/technical in nature (volatility, profit-taking, sector sympathy) rather than evidence of a credit deterioration documented in public filings. (kind.krx.co.kr)  
Recommended actions for a bond-trader / risk desk:
Monitor KRX (KIND) for any new KCC disclosures (real‑time) — especially around the 2025-09-24 CB payment date. (KIND link used above). (kind.krx.co.kr)  
Watch rating agency feeds and KCC IR for any material notices — subscription alerts recommended. (bloomberg.com)  
If you need immediate trade signals: run a high-frequency social / X scrape for the minutes around the drop and check intraday orderflow / block trades from the KRX market data feed to detect large sell orders or program liquidation (I can run this on request).  
For convertibles exposure: confirm the CB timetable and any trustee notices around the Sep‑24 activity; prepare for temporary mark‑to‑market volatility but no immediate credit impairment based on current public records. (kind.krx.co.kr)

If you want I can immediately:
- (1) run a targeted X/Twitter scrape (time‑bounded to the exact JST minute of the drop) and deliver any social‑media signals (labeled Rumored/Unverified), or

- (2) pull intraday KRX trade/level-2 data for 2025-09-21 and 2025-09-22 to identify large blocks or algorithmic selling that would explain the intraday move.
