Stocks opened mildly lower Friday, despite overnight gains on Wall Street.

The Kospi went down 33.08 points, or 0.47 percent, to 6,938.27 at the opening bell.

Overnight, U.S. stocks finished modestly higher as benchmark Treasury yields eased from fresh multi-decade highs, although gains were capped by rising crude oil prices.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.04 percent, while the benchmark S&P 500 gained 0.19 percent. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index added 0.04 percent.
