KOSPI rises

A financial data screen in the dealing room of Hana Bank in Seoul on Sept. 3, 2026, shows the benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index having risen 16.76 points, or 0.26 percent, to close at 6,579.48. Seoul shares closed higher, driven by easing oil prices after U.S. President Donald Trump played down the prospect of a prolonged conflict with Iran. (Yonhap)
