The KOSPI index closed at 5,438.87 on March 27, down 0.40% amid lingering Middle East tensions that have fueled extreme volatility, including a record 12.06% plunge to 5,093.54 on March 4 due to Iran conflict fears, followed by a 9.63% rebound to 5,583 the next day. Tech-heavy composition, with Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix comprising ~40% weighting, amplifies swings from global chip demand and energy shocks, while hedge fund selling in emerging Asia adds pressure. With just the March 28 and 31 trading sessions before Q1 resolution, trader consensus on Polymarket hinges on de-escalation signals or oil stabilization; Goldman Sachs' year-end target remains 7,000, signaling long-term optimism despite near-term risks.

The first quarter of 2026 ends on March 31, 2026. The closing price for the final day of trading on or before this date will be used to resolve this market.
If the final trading day of the quarter is shortened (for example, due to a market-holiday schedule), the official closing price published for that shortened session will still be used for resolution.
If no official closing price is published for that session (for example, due to a trading halt into the close, system issue, or other disruption), the market will use the last valid on-exchange trade price of the regular session as the effective closing price.
The resolution source for this market is Yahoo Finance, specifically the KOSPI Composite Index (^KS11) "Close" prices available at https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/%5EKS11/history/, published under "Historical Data."
