KOSPI skyrockets

A financial data screen in the dealing room of Hana Bank in Seoul on May 26, 2025, shows the benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index having risen 52.31 points, or 2.02 percent, to close at 2,644.40. South Korean stocks closed sharply higher, driven by gains in tech shares, as investor sentiment was buoyed by U.S. President Donald Trump's extension of the deadline for imposing sweeping tariffs on the European Union.
