Will the KOSPI manage to hold above the 8,000 mark on Monday and set the stage for a rally? The Nasdaq initially declined but gradually recovered, closing firmly in positive territory. On Friday, foreign investors bought into the KOSPI for the first time in a long while, closing the session on a positive note. From my perspective, this looks encouraging for now—but the bigger picture hinges first on a potential ceasefire agreement between the U.S. and Iran. If the U.S. steps back, even if Israel faces chaos, the conflict may be perceived merely as a regional Middle East skirmish, potentially limiting its impact on global markets. #KOSPI #Israel #USIranWar
