KOSPI opens lower

A financial data screen in the dealing room of Hana Bank in Seoul on May 19, 2026, shows the benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index having fallen 1.20 percent from the previous session to an intraday low of 7,425.62 in early trading. South Korean stocks opened lower as investors offloaded large-cap technology shares, amid growing concerns over inflation and an overnight slump in U.S. techs. (Yonhap)
