Seoul stocks open higher as China Evergrande fears ease
By YonhapPublished : Sept. 24, 2021 - 09:32
South Korean stocks opened higher Friday on overnight US rebound that stemmed from easing fears over China Evergrande Group's debt crisis.
The benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) rose 11.37 points, or 0.36 percent, to 3,138.95 points in the first 15 minutes of trading.

In Seoul, top cap Samsung Electronics edged up 0.13 percent, and No. 2 chipmaker SK hynix increased 0.47 percent.
Internet portal operator Naver inched up 0.12 percent, while pharmaceutical giant Samsung Biologics lost 0.43 percent.
Leading chemical firm LG Chem shed 1.05 percent, and top automaker Hyundai Motor traded flat. Top bank stock Kakao Bank jumped 3.77 percent.
