KOSPI soars

A financial data screen in the dealing room of Hana Bank in Seoul on March 17, 2025, shows the benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index having skyrocketed 44.33 points, or 1.73 percent, to close at 2,610.69. South Korean stocks closed sharply higher, led by gains of top-cap Samsung Electronics and other tech shares tracking their Wall Street peers despite lingering concerns about U.S. President Donald Trump's sweeping tariff scheme.
