KOSPI plunges

A financial data screen in the dealing room of Hana Bank in Seoul on June 8, 2026, shows the benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index having declined 8.41 percent from the previous session to an intraday low of 7,474.15 in early trading. South Korean stocks opened sharply lower, tracking Wall Street's slide sparked by the semiconductor shock and rate hike fears, with big-cap shares posting sharp declines. (Yonhap)
