South Korea's KOSPI Hits Historic 5,000-Point Milestone For First Time

Reporters and photographers document the fluctuating stock indices on a digital board at the Hana Bank headquarters dealing room in Seoul, South Korea, on January 22, 2026. The benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) makes financial history by breaching the psychological 5,000-point threshold for the first time since its inception, hitting an intraday high of 5,019.54. The index eventually closes at 4,952.53, up 42.60 points, or 0.87 percent, while the tech-heavy KOSDAQ rises 19.06 points, or 2.0 percent, to finish at 970.35. Analysts credit the rally to the Lee Jae Myung administration's capital market support policies and a positive outlook on the semiconductor sector. (Photo by Chris Jung/NurPhoto)
