South Korea Stock Market Index (KOSPI)

KOSPI rose by 2.5% on Friday October 24, trading at 3,941.6 with a weekly gain of 3.33% and monthly gain of 13.52%. This is an all-time high. South Korean export declines of 7.8 percent year-on-year and a $2.85 billion trade deficit indicate economic weakness, negatively impacting the KOSPI. The Bank of Korea's anticipated decision to maintain interest rates steady, prioritizing financial stability, affects the KOSPI's outlook. Foreign investor net-selling and concerns over US-China trade tensions contributed to the KOSPI closing lower. Individual investor buying briefly pushed the KOSPI above 3,900 points, showing temporary upward pressure. Its 52-week high was 3,951.07, while its 52-week low was 2,284.72.
