KOSPI drops

A financial data screen in the dealing room of Hana Bank in Seoul on May 8, 2026, shows the benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index having logged an intraday low of 7,354.56, down 1.81 percent from the previous session, in early trading. South Korean stocks started lower on profit hunting following a recent rally and renewed military tensions in the Middle East after the United States and Iran exchanged fire. (Yonhap)
