South Korea Stocks Crash Amid U.S.-Iran Conflict
An electronic scoreboard at the Korea Exchange (KRX) in Seoul, South Korea, on March 3, 2026, displays the sharply fallen closing indices. The benchmark KOSPI plummets 452.22 points, or 7.24 percent, to close at 5,791.91, while the tech-heavy KOSDAQ index sinks 55.08 points, or 4.62 percent, to finish at 1,137.70. The domestic stock market faces its worst single-day drop in years as geopolitical tensions soar following U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on Iran, prompting foreign and institutional investors to dump shares amid fears of a wider regional war and surging global oil prices.
