KOSPI plunges
A financial data screen in the dealing room of Hana Bank in Seoul on March 3, 2026, shows the benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index having lost 452.22 points, or 7.24 percent, to close at 5,791.91. South Korean stocks plunged to close below the 5,800-point mark as investor sentiment was dampened by escalating geopolitical concerns triggered by the ongoing Middle East conflict. (Yonhap)
