South Korea's KOSPI index plunged 5.6% on Tuesday, its largest single-day drop since November, amid escalating Middle East tensions and rising energy cost fears. The sharp decline triggered a circuit breaker, halting algorithmic trading temporarily. The Korean won also fell 1.9% against the U.S. dollar, marking its biggest drop since May. Asian markets faced synchronized pressure, with Japan's Nikkei 225 down 2.5% and the MSCI Asia Pacific Index experiencing its largest two-day decline since April. South Korea's tech giants, including Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, led the downturn, while defense stocks like Hanwha Aerospace surged over 25%. Foreign investors sold off over 4 trillion won, while retail investors bought on dips, as markets brace for potential prolonged conflict impacts on oil prices and inflation.
