The benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index(KOSPI) finished the week almost flat Friday amid a lack of investment catalysts after Wall Street showed mixed results overnight.

The KOSPI lost one-point-58 points, or zero-point-06 percent, Friday to close at two-thousand-592-point-09.

US President Donald Trump’s tax bill clearing the House of Representatives eased market fears fueled by a sharp rise in U.S. Treasury yields.

The tech-heavy KOSDAQ slid one-point-69 points, or zero-point-24 percent, to close at 715-point-98.
