The benchmark KOSPI rose 0.5% to around 8,910 on Thursday, extending gains to fresh record highs, as strong momentum in AI-related semiconductor stocks continued to support the market. SK Hynix advanced more than 3% after announcing the shipment of samples of its next-generation 12-layer HBM4E memory chips to key customers, reinforcing optimism about AI-driven demand, while Samsung Electronics (1.0%) and SK Square (3.8%) also gained. Investor sentiment remained resilient despite a hawkish signal from the Federal Reserve, which kept interest rates unchanged but indicated that policymakers expect a higher rate path than previously projected. At the same time, easing concerns over energy supplies and geopolitical risks following the US-Iran peace agreement helped sustain risk appetite, with South Korean authorities noting that improving conditions could help stabilize global energy markets and reduce uncertainty facing the export-driven economy.
