Seoul stocks drop

A financial data screen in the dealing room of Hana Bank in Seoul on Jan. 27, 2026, shows the benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index logging an intraday low of 4,895.00, down 54.59 points from the previous session, in early trading. Seoul stocks opened lower after U.S. President Donald Trump unexpectedly announced that Washington will raise tariffs on South Korean automobile and other products to 25 percent from 15 percent.
