The benchmark KOSPI fell more than 4% to around 6,300 on Monday, reversing gains from the previous session as investors locked in profits. Profit-taking followed the index’s roughly 17% surge on Friday, its biggest one-day gain on record, with heavyweight chipmakers giving back part of their sharp gains. Meanwhile, Morgan Stanley upgraded South Korean equities to overweight, saying the recent leverage-driven selloff was largely technical and projecting 36% upside for the KOSPI. Separately, US President Donald Trump called off a planned strike on Iran, which pushed oil prices lower and offered some support to market sentiment. Technology heavyweights led the decline, with Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix falling more than 7% each. Other notable losses included SK Square (-1.1%), LG Energy Solution (-4.4%), HD Hyundai Heavy Industries (-1.0%), Kia Corporation (-3.1%), Samsung Biologics (-3.5%), Naver (-1.9%), and SK Inc. (-4.1%).
