Index
KOSPI
What is the KOSPI?
The Korea Composite Stock Price Index — the benchmark for South Korean equities, covering every common stock on the Korea Exchange main board in Seoul. When the crowd talks about "the Korean market," this is the number they mean.
We never publish the index level; it is not our data. What you can trade is EWY, the iShares MSCI South Korea ETF; the chart below is EWY via TradingView. EWY tracks the broad South Korean market (MSCI South Korea), not the KOSPI's own main-board list.
The line runs 169 USD on 5 August through 152.67 USD on 2 November, on a scale from 140 to 200. Days the market did not trade hold the previous close, flat.
