KOSPI soars

A financial data screen in the dealing room of Hana Bank in Seoul on Sept. 12, 2025, shows the benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index having advanced 51.34 points, or 1.54 percent, to close at a new record high of 3,395.54. South Korean stocks extended their winning streak to a ninth consecutive session, buoyed by a rally of semiconductor shares and growing hopes for the U.S. Federal Reserve's rate cut next week.
