KOSPI rises

A financial data screen in the dealing room of Hana Bank in Seoul on April 20, 2026, shows the benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index having logged an intraday high of 6,198.33, up 6.41 points from the previous session, in early trading. Seoul stocks opened a tad higher amid woes that tensions in the Middle East would again flare up as Iran's military warned it will respond after U.S. forces attacked an Iranian-flagged ship.
