The benchmark KOSPI rose more than 2% to around 7,420 on Thursday, rebounding from an over one-month low of about 7,250 as heavyweight semiconductor stocks advanced. Sentiment was boosted after reports that SK hynix’s planned US ADR offering was more than seven times oversubscribed, reflecting strong investor demand for the AI memory chipmaker. Samsung Electronics and SK hynix climbed more than 3% and 7%, respectively, after suffering sharp declines a day earlier, helping drive the broader market higher. Other gainers included SK Square (5.7%), LG Energy Solution (3.8%), Doosan Enerbility (3.5%), and SK Inc. (3.5%). Additionally, sentiment was supported after the Asian Development Bank raised South Korea’s 2026 growth forecast to 2.6% from 1.9%, citing robust global AI demand and strong semiconductor exports as key drivers of economic growth. Meanwhile, renewed US-Iran tensions kept investors cautious as higher oil prices fueled inflation concerns and weighed on global risk appetite.
