About KOSPI
The KOSPI, a capitalization-weighted index that tracks all common shares on the Korea Stock Exchange, serves as a key barometer of South Korea’s stock market performance. Companies such as Samsung Electronics and Hyundai Motor significantly impact the index, making it an important gauge for those following Asian financial markets.
With South Korea’s economy closely tied to technology and exports, movements in the KOSPI often reflect broader market trends across the region.
