KOSPI plunges

A financial data screen at the dealing room of Hana Bank in Seoul on Aug. 19, 2025, shows the benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index having plummeted 25.72 points, or 0.81 percent, to close at 3,151.56. South Korean stocks closed lower to continue a losing streak for two straight days, as investors remained cautious ahead of key global events, including a policy outlook by the U.S. Federal Reserve's interest rate cut.
