KOSPI opens again at fresh high

An employee poses for a photo in front of a financial data screen in the dealing room of Hana Bank in Seoul on May 12, 2026, which shows the benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index having increased 2.27 percent from the previous session to an intraday high of 7,999.67 in early trading. South Korean stocks opened higher, heading toward the unprecedented 8,000-point mark, as major chipmakers continued their bull run, despite woes over little progress in peace talks between the United States and Iran.
