Seoul, September 2, 2025 ,South Korea’s benchmark KOSPI index edged higher today, rising to approximately 3,170.61, following its decline to 3,142.93 on September 1. This modest rebound reflects cautious optimism among investors amid broader Asian market fluctuations.
- On September 1, the KOSPI fell by about 1.35%, dropping to 3,142.93, as global markets remained pressured by uncertainty over U.S. interest rates and tariff-related developments.
- By early September 2, the index had climbed back to 3,170.61, signaling renewed investor interest.
Mixed global signals continue to influence appetite for risk assets. Tariff concerns, coupled with questions around U.S. monetary policy, have kept Asian markets on edge. Despite these headwinds, some financial and auto-related sectors have shown resilience, contributing to today’s modest gains.
Why It Matters

- Support: ~3,143 (recent low)
