Seoul stocks ends at record high

A financial data screen in the dealing room of Woori Bank in Seoul on April 21, 2026, shows the benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index having increased 169.38 points, or 2.72 percent, to close at a record high of 6,388.47. South Korean stocks closed at a new historic high, fully erasing their losses since the outbreak of the U.S.-Iran conflict, as investors expect progress in the two countries' peace talks and tech heavyweights gained traction.
