South Korea's benchmark Kospi triggered its second circuit breaker in four sessions on Monday as oil topped $110 a barrel amid the escalating US-Israel-Iran conflict and near-closure of the Strait of Hormuz. EWY traded as low as $119.55 intraday before reversing sharply, recovering more than 11% from the session low to reclaim $133 after Saudi Aramco moved roughly 4.6 million barrels of crude onto spot markets and Korean retail investors bought an estimated 4.6 trillion won during the panic.
