KOSPI soars

A financial data screen in the dealing room of Hana Bank in Seoul on June 16, 2025, shows the benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index having risen 52.04 points, or 1.80 percent, to close at 2,946.66. South Korean stocks closed sharply higher, driven by bargain hunting and big gains in the defense, energy and IT sectors. (Yonhap)
