South Korea's KOSPI and KOSDAQ Open Lower: Market Overview for October 25

The South Korean stock market opened in negative territory on Thursday, October 25, with both the KOSPI and KOSDAQ indices experiencing declines at the outset of trading. This dip reflects a cautious sentiment among investors as they navigate ongoing market dynamics.

KOSPI Index Performance
