KOSPI jumps

A financial data screen in the dealing room of Hana Bank in Seoul on May 21, 2026, shows the benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index having risen 4.71 percent from the previous session to an intraday high of 7,548.53 in early trading. South Korean stocks opened markedly higher, led by tech gains, on rising hopes for a possible agreement between the United States and Iran to end the war in the Middle East, and on Samsung Electronics' tentative wage deal with its labor union.
