South Korea’s KOSPI turns higher after sharp early decline

The benchmark stock index reversed losses after falling more than 1% and, in the newer account, nearly 3%, with the rebound linked to improved sentiment, favorable economic indicators and possible policy adjustments.

Fact Check
Two independent outlets confirm the claim. Odaily (citing Gate) states the KOSPI 'quickly rallied into positive territory, having earlier fallen over 1%.' BlockBeats (citing Bitget) independently reports the index opened down ~1% then quickly turned positive on July 13. The two data-provider sources are mutually consistent, and a subsequent Odaily newsflash showing the index later extending losses to 2% confirms this was a genuine intraday reversal sequence rather than a misreport.

Summary

South Korea’s KOSPI benchmark stock index rebounded and moved into positive territory after a sharp earlier decline. The older account, citing Gate data via Odaily, said the index had fallen more than 1% before turning higher, while the newer account said it rebounded 2% after a decline of nearly 3%. The recovery was described as reflecting improved investor sentiment, helped by favorable economic indicators and possible policy adjustments, after recent market volatility.
