South Korea's benchmark KOSPI index briefly surpassed the historic 4,700-point milestone on January 14, fueled by a tech rally, before edging lower. It reached an intraday high of 4,715.75 points early in the session but fell to 4,680.04 by late morning amid weakness in battery and defense shares. The index has risen over 11 percent since the start of the year, extending its record bull run.
On December 30, 2025, Japan's Nikkei 225 index fell 0.4% to close at 50,339.48, weighed down by a retreat in technology stocks. The benchmark surged 26% for the year, marking its third straight annual gain. SoftBank Group's slump was a major drag on the index.
