SEOUL: South Korean stocks finished Monday’s session slightly higher, led by heavy increases in commodity-linked sectors such as refiners and shipbuilders after oil value recovered to crack a seven-week losing stripe.
The Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) climbed 0.77 per cent to close at 1,902.62.
The South Korean won pared earlier losses to drift a shade lower against the dollar on Monday, tracking gains in the yen after a plunge in Chinese stocks triggered a flurry of safe-haven bids for the Japanese currency.
The won was quoted at 1,078.0 to the dollar at the conclusion of onshore trade, compared with 1,077.3 at the close on Friday.
