Korea Equity Indices

External Coverage

Spot index values for Korea indices are available during the local cash session (9:00 AM - 3:30 PM KST, Monday through Friday).

Traditional futures quotes from institutional liquidity providers are available during the KRX derivatives trading session, including the day session (8:45 AM - 3:35 PM KST) and the night session (6:00 PM - 5:50 AM KST on the following calendar day), from Monday open through Saturday morning Korea time, subject to exchange holidays and special closes.

TradeXYZ's equity index pricing methodology combines these sources to derive external spot pricing across the full trading week. During the local cash session, external pricing is anchored to the cash index. Outside cash hours, pricing is derived from the relevant futures market and used to infer spot-equivalent index levels until the next cash session resumes.
