KOSPI surges
A financial data screen in the dealing room of Hana Bank in Seoul on March 5, 2026, shows the benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index having gained almost 600 points during morning trading. South Korean stocks opened sharply higher after the previous session's daily record drop of over 12 percent on fears over a prolonged Iran crisis, while Wall Street rebounded and oil prices calmed.
