South Korean stocks are expected to rise marginally next week as investors will be heartened by eased uncertainties at home and abroad, analysts said Saturday. The benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) finished at 1,956.55 on Friday, down 0.14 percent, or 2.89 points, from a week earlier. The KOSPI bounced back from eight days of losses as retail and institutional investors hunted for bargains on Thursday.
