Seoul: KOSPI falls 1.46% below 5,500 points

South Korea’s KOSPI ended the 26 October 2026 session at 5,469.47 points, down 80.83 points, or 1.46%, taking the benchmark below 5,500.

The index opened at 5,499.05 and briefly erased its losses before finishing lower. Investing.com’s historical data and Yonhap’s reporting agree on the closing level.

Yonhap describes caution ahead of major chipmakers’ earnings and the US Federal Reserve’s decision. That account of the backdrop does not establish a single cause for every price movement.
