Description

This market will resolve to "Up" if the KOSPI Composite Index (韩股指数) (^KS11) closing price on Monday, October 12, 2026 is higher than the KOSPI Composite Index (韩股指数) (^KS11) closing price on the most recent prior trading day. This market will resolve to "Down" if the KOSPI Composite Index (韩股指数) (^KS11) closing price on Monday, October 12, 2026 is lower than the KOSPI Composite Index (韩股指数) (^KS11) closing price on the most recent prior trading day. E.g., ordinarily, a market on Monday would refer to the previous Friday for its most recent closing price, unless that Friday were a market holiday, in which case it would refer to Thursday, or the next most recent trading day. If the two specified closing prices are exactly equal, this market will resolve 50-50. If either of the relevant days are shortened (for example, due to a market holiday schedule), the official closing price published by https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/%5EKS11/history/ for that shortened session will still be used for resolution. If no closing price is published for the KOSPI Composite Index (韩股指数) on Monday, October 12, 2026 due to an exchange closure, index calculation failure, system issue, or other disruption, this market will resolve 50-50. If no closing price is published for the most recent prior trading day, the next most recent trading day with a published closing price will be used. The primary resolution source for this market is Yahoo Finance: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/%5EKS11/history/ If Yahoo Finance is unavailable, or if its reported official closing level conflicts with the official closing level published by Korea Exchange (KRX), the official closing level published by Korea Exchange (KRX) will take precedence. The official closing levels will be compared exactly as published, with no additional rounding.
