A financial data screen in the dealing room of Hana Bank in Seoul on July 30, 2026, shows the benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index having fallen 69.68 points, or 1.23 percent, to close at 5,593.56. Seoul shares closed lower as retail investors heavily sold tech stocks following deep declines over the previous two sessions amid concerns over artificial intelligence spending and uncertainty about the Federal Reserve's interest rate outlook.
