The benchmark KOSPI rose more than 1% to around 7,760 on Friday, recovering part of the previous session’s losses as bargain hunting lifted heavyweight semiconductor shares. Samsung Electronics and SK hynix rebounded nearly 4% and 2%, respectively, after suffering sharp declines a day earlier, helping lift the index despite continued weakness in global chip shares. Other gainers included Hanwha Aerospace (4.2%), KB Financial Group (3.4%), Shinhan Financial Group (4.9%), LG Energy Solution (1.3%), and Kia Corporation (1.5%). At the same time, Samsung Electronics remained in focus after reports that AI startup Anthropic is in talks with the company to develop custom AI chips, lending additional support to the semiconductor sector. Sentiment was also supported by weaker-than-expected US June jobs data, which strengthened expectations that the Federal Reserve could ease monetary policy in the coming months, boosting broader risk appetite.
