KOSPI nose-dives

A financial data screen in the dealing room of Hana Bank in Seoul on March 30, 2026, shows the benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index having logged an intraday low of 5,153.23, down 5.25 percent from the previous session, in early trading. South Korean stocks opened sharply lower as concerns have risen about a broader conflict in the Middle East after Iran-backed Houthi militants in Yemen joined the war. (Yonhap)
