South Korean stocks opened slightly lower on Friday amid persistent Middle East tensions and little progress in US-Iran peace talks. The KOSPI fell 7.21 points, or 0.11 percent, to 6,468.60 in the first 15 minutes of trading. The decline followed overnight Wall Street losses as investors stayed on the sidelines.
