Seoul Composite Pares Losses to 3% After Falling More Than 5%

The intraday swing from a more than 5% drop to a 3% loss signals that selling pressure met willing buyers rather than a change in direction — the index closed the session still negative. For Korean equity exposure, the size of the bounce matters less than the fact that a sharp drawdown found a floor, which is often read as a sign of fragile rather than resolved stress. Whether the recovery holds into the next session, or proves to be a pause within a deeper move, is the open question.
