SEOUL: South Korean stocks fell to the lowest level in four weeks Thursday as a sharp rise in German government bond yields is feared to trigger a sell-off in the local equity market, analysts said. The local currency lost ground against the U.S. dollar.
The Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) closed down 13.58 points, or 0.65 percent to 2,091.00. The Thursday closing marks the lowest level since April 10, when the index finished at 2,087.76.
