KOSPI plunges

An electronic signboard in the dealing room of Hana Bank in Seoul on Aug. 16, 2023, shows the benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index having dropped 45.23 points, or 1.76 percent, to close at 2,525.64. The Seoul market took a beating as investor sentiment was dampened by concerns over the Chinese economy and the Federal Reserve's aggressive monetary tightening policy. (Yonhap)
