A financial data screen in the dealing room of Hana Bank in Seoul on Aug. 4, 2026, shows the benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index having increased 101.50 points, or 1.62 percent, to close at 6,358.95. Seoul shares ended higher as retail investors snapped up stocks following the previous session's over 5 percent plunge, while lingering uncertainty over artificial intelligence and the Middle East crisis capped gains despite overnight gains on Wall Street.
