South Korean stocks opened lower Tuesday, tracking Wall Street losses as rising oil prices fueled inflation concerns and lifted US Treasury yields amid tensions in the Middle East. The benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index, or KOSPI, fell 13.31 points, or 0.19 percent, to 6,876.43 as of 9:15 a.m. Overnight, US stocks retreated as renewed tensions between the United States and Iran drove crude oil prices higher, fueling concerns that higher energy costs could keep inflation and interest rat
