The index opened at 5,763.85 and reached an intraday high of 6,032.28. Financial Times historical data agree with MediaPen’s report on the closing and intraday levels.
The result completes the morning picture, when programmed purchases were briefly suspended. The closing level is distinct from the temporary move above 6,000 observed during trading.
South Korea’s finance ministry also lists the KOSPI at 6,012.44 for 28 October. The increase measures an index change over one trading session.
