A financial data screen in the dealing room of Hana Bank in Seoul on Oct. 26, 2026, shows the benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index having fallen 0.85 percent from the previous session to an intraday low of 5,503.02 in early trading. South Korean stocks opened lower as investors awaited third-quarter earnings from major chipmakers and the U.S. Federal Reserve's monetary policy decision later this week amid rising oil prices.
