KOSPI soars
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 490.36 points, or 9.63 percent, to close at 5,583.90. South Korean stocks sharply rebounded from the previous session's sharpest decline ever, amid signs of an easing oil price surge sparked by the ongoing Iran conflict. (Yonhap)
