KOSPI skyrockets

A financial data screen in the dealing room of Hana Bank in Seoul on April 1, 2026, shows the benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index having risen 426.24 points, or 8.44 percent, to close at 5,478.70. Seoul stocks surged, led by gains in chipmakers and other big-cap tech shares, as hopes grew for a possible end to the U.S.-Iran conflict. (Yonhap)
