Seoul stocks slide

A financial data screen in the dealing room of Hana Bank in Seoul on May 13, 2026, shows the benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index having declined 2.38 percent from the previous session to an intraday low of 7,461.39 in early trading. South Korean stocks opened sharply lower, tracking overnight losses on Wall Street caused by a drop in blue chip tech shares and a faster-than-estimated rise in U.S. inflation, as well as uncertainties over peace talks between the United States and Iran.
