🚨 🇰🇷 KOSPI CLOSES HIGHER — NEARS 7,000 AS AI CHIP RALLY RETURNS
South Korea’s KOSPI jumped 1.53% on Thursday, closing at 6,912.37, as strong Nvidia results boosted semiconductor stocks and revived investor appetite for AI-related equities.
📊 Key market moves:
• 🇰🇷 KOSPI: +1.53% to 6,912.37
• 💻 Samsung Electronics: +2.29%
• 🖥️ SK hynix: +3.44%
• 🔋 LG Energy Solution: +4.84%
• ⚡ Power and battery stocks also advanced
🔥 What’s driving the move?
Nvidia’s stronger-than-expected results and upbeat outlook reignited demand for AI and semiconductor stocks across Asia. Korean chipmakers were among the biggest beneficiaries.
⚠️ But there’s another side:
The Bank of Korea raised its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 3.00%, marking its second consecutive hike as policymakers continue to deal with inflation and financial-stability concerns.
📌 Important: Today’s close was not a new all-time record high. The verified KOSPI close was 6,912.37, so headlines calling today’s close a record should be treated cautiously.
🌏 Bottom line:
AI optimism is once again lifting Korean equities, but higher interest rates and elevated valuations remain important risks for traders.
