South Korean Markets Stage Massive Rebound as KOSPI and KOSDAQ Surge After Two-Day Slump
Journalists and television camera crews film the closing market figures displayed on a large electronic screen at the Korea Exchange (KRX) in Seoul, South Korea, on March 5, 2026. The benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) soars 490.36 points, or 9.63 percent, to close at 5,583.90, while the tech-heavy KOSDAQ jumps 137.97 points, or 14.10 percent, to finish at 1,116.41. The dramatic ''relief rally'' follows two consecutive sessions of heavy selling, drawing intense media scrutiny as investors look for signs of market stabilization in East Asia's fourth-largest economy.
