Consumer sentiment dips in October on stocks, Mideast tensions

South Korea's composite consumer sentiment index (CCSI) fell to 105.4 in October, down from the previous month, due mainly to a stock market correction and prolonged Middle East tensions, the Bank of Korea said Tuesday, according to the Korea Times and Yonhap. The decline came as the KOSPI fell Monday on renewed Middle East tensions and higher oil prices, with investors cautious ahead of chipmaker earnings, the Korea Times reported. Trading value on the KOSPI also hit a 2026 low, reflecting deepening investor caution, Business Korea reported.
