South Korea's KOSPI index has faced intense downward pressure from domestic political turmoil, including President Yoon Suk Yeol's failed martial law bid and ongoing impeachment proceedings, driving a roughly 8% drop from November peaks to around 2,430 as of mid-December 2024. Semiconductor heavyweights like Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, comprising over 30% of the index, are contending with softening AI chip demand and potential US export curbs on China, despite earlier rally momentum. The Bank of Korea's recent 25 basis point rate cut to 3% reflects cooling inflation and sluggish growth, with traders eyeing the January 17 policy meeting for further easing signals. Upcoming Q4 earnings from tech majors and US-China trade developments could sway the index toward or away from quarter-end thresholds amid elevated volatility.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if the official closing price for the KOSPI Composite Index (^KS11) on the final trading day of the first quarter of 2026 is higher than the listed price. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
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.
