South Korea's benchmark Kospi edged down 0.2% to close at 4214.17, ending the year on a softer note after a strong rally. The index rose 76% for 2025, its biggest annual gain since 1999.
"The Korean stock market has been on a super bull run this year," says Douglas Kim, an analyst at Douglas Research Advisory who publishes on Smartkarma.
Foreign and institutional investors were net sellers on the final trading day of the year, as some took profit after recent gains, while retail investors continued to pile into local stocks.
Auto and semicondutor shares advanced, while battery and defense stocks retreated. Kim expects the Kospi to reach 5,000 in the coming months, as the country's pension fund could raise the allocation of Korean stocks within its assets under management.
