SEOUL: South Korean stocks reversed narrow losses seen earlier in the session to end a shade higher on Friday, although a mood of caution prevailed in the market ahead of the key US non-farm payrolls report due for release later in the day.
The Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) gained 0.14 percent to close at 1,955.52 points.
The South Korean won closed a tick higher against the dollar on Friday, underpinned by a $1.1 billion block deal of Hyundai Glovis shares which boosted demand for the local currency by offshore funds.
