March 22, 2026, 5:59 PM EDT. The ongoing war in the Middle East has exposed the fragility of South Korea's stock market, known as KOSPI, primarily due to the nation's heavy reliance on imported fuel. Rising oil prices have triggered significant shocks, further exacerbated by volatile foreign fund flows and South Korea's dependence on exports. These factors combined have caused a notable fall in the KOSPI index, raising concerns about the broader economic impact amid global uncertainties. Market watchers remain cautious as the situation unfolds.
