Seoul shares open at fresh high

A financial data screen in the dealing room of Woori Bank in Seoul on May 27, 2026, shows the benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index having risen 4.31 percent from the previous session to an intraday high of 8,394.19 in early trading. South Korean stocks opened at a new record high, driven by strong gains in semiconductor stocks amid renewed tensions in the Middle East in search of a peace deal. (Yonhap)
