In Seoul, market heavyweights led the decline.

Top-cap Samsung Electronics decreased 1.44 percent and No. 2 LG Energy Solution sank 2.76 percent.

Top steelmaker Posco Holdings slid 1.99 percent and leading zinc smelter Korea Zinc fell 1.34 percent.

Bank shares also went south, with Hana Financial Group retreating 0.69 percent and KB Financial Group losing 0.17 percent.

The local currency was trading at 1,358.85 won against the US dollar at 9:15 a.m., down 1.45 won from the previous session's close. (Yonhap)
