KOSPI falls
A financial data screen in the dealing room of Woori Bank in Seoul on March 12, 2026, shows the benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index having lost 26.70 points, or 0.48 percent, to close at 5,583.25. South Korean stocks closed lower amid escalating tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, which triggered extreme volatility in global oil prices. (Yonhap)
