South Korea’s KOSPI Index experienced a historic decline of 12%, marking its largest loss on record. This significant drop reflects the index’s strong ties to major regional indices such as the Nikkei and Hang Seng, which often influence its movements due to trade relationships. The KOSPI’s heavy weighting in technology and semiconductor firms also exacerbates its volatility in response to sector-specific developments.
