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 dropped 80.83points, or 1.46 percent, to close at 5,469.47. Seoul shares ended lower, tracking losses on Wall Street, as investors remained cautious ahead of third-quarter earnings reports from major chipmakers and the U.S. Federal Reserve's rate decision later this week.
