The status of the domestic stock market is displayed on the electronic board in the Hana Bank dealing room in Jung-gu, Seoul, on March 30, as the KOSPI index plunged by more than 4% in early trading, falling below the 5,200 mark due to a sharp rise in international oil prices triggered by uncertainty over the Middle East war. On this day, the KRW-USD exchange rate opened at 1,513.4 won, up 4.5 won from the previous trading day.
