The benchmark index, the best performer among gauges for the world’s 15 biggest markets this year, may climb to 2,300 next year, according to Seok Yun, Seoul-based head of research at Credit Suisse and the top-ranked analyst for South Korean stocks in the 2010 Institutional Investor poll, at a press briefing in the South Korean capital yesterday. The stock gauge rose 1.3 percent yesterday to 1,929.32.
