South Korea’s KOSPI rose for a third session, hovering just above 7,015 points, with profit‑taking expected amid falling oil prices.
The KOSPI has finished higher for three consecutive sessions, gaining more than 300 points (about 4.2%) and now sits just above the 7,015‑point plateau.
On Tuesday the index added 10.19 points, or 0.15%, to close at 7,017.91 after reaching a high of 7,171.44. Trading volume was 251.65 million shares worth 22.2 trillion won, with 462 stocks declining and 382 advancing.
The report notes that profit taking may occur as the market consolidates, while the broader Asian outlook is described as “murky,” with profit taking likely offset by sinking oil prices. European and U.S. markets were mixed, and Asian markets are expected to follow that trend.
The available reporting does not provide further detail on how profit taking might influence future KOSPI movements.
