The benchmark KOSPI climbed more than 3% to around 9,340 on Friday, extending gains to fresh record highs, as semiconductor stocks continued to drive the rally. SK Hynix gained more than 6%, extending momentum after announcing the shipment of samples of its next-generation 12-layer HBM4E memory chips to key customers, while Samsung Electronics (2.9%) also advanced, alongside SK Square (8.2%), LG Energy Solution (5.0%), and Hyundai Motor (3.5%). Sentiment was further boosted by a strong rally in US semiconductor stocks overnight, with Intel surging after US President Donald Trump said Apple would work with the company to design and manufacture chips in the United States, lifting the broader technology sector. At the same time, easing geopolitical tensions following the US-Iran memorandum of understanding continued to support risk appetite, with South Korean officials saying improving conditions could help reduce supply chain risks and external uncertainties.
