KOSPI rises

A financial data screen in the dealing room of Woori Bank in Seoul on May 22, 2026, shows the benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index having risen 0.77 percent from the previous session to an intraday high of 7,876.00 in early trading. South Korean stocks opened slightly higher following the previous session's sharp rise, tracking overnight gains on Wall Street amid rising hopes for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict between the United States and Iran.
