A financial data screen in the dealing room of Hana Bank in Seoul on Aug. 25, 2026, shows the benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index having fallen 2.39 percent from the previous session to an intraday low of 6,536.71 in early trading. Seoul shares opened sharply lower, following overnight losses in U.S. technology shares, as investors remained cautious ahead of key events, including the upcoming earnings release from U.S. chip giant Nvidia.
