Core update
- The KOSPI, South Korea’s main stock index, has experienced volatility in 2025–2026 driven by global tech sentiment, domestic export data, and geopolitical factors affecting risk appetite. For example, past reports noted episodes of sharp moves tied to tech earnings, global trade cues, and currency moves, which can push the index into rallies or pullbacks.[3][7]
