KOSPI tops 6,500-pt level

A financial data screen in the dealing room of Hana Bank in Seoul on April 23, 2026, shows the benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index having logged a record high of 6,529.97, up 1.75 percent from the previous session, in early trading. South Korean stocks opened at a record high, driven by large-cap tech gains and the United States' indefinite extension of its ceasefire in the conflict with Iran. (Yonhap)
