The benchmark KOSPI jumped 2.22% to around 8,367 on Friday, reaching fresh record highs after briefly retreating as investor appetite improved on easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Optimism grew after reports said the United States and Iran agreed to extend their ceasefire framework and resume talks on Tehran’s nuclear program. Support also came from Wall Street, where major US indexes closed at record highs overnight, led by gains in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq. Gains in Seoul were driven largely by technology and automobile stocks, with heavyweight shares such as Samsung Electronics (+4.17%), SK Hynix (+2.10%), Hyundai Motor (+5.61%), and Kia Corp (+1.83%) advancing strongly. Separately, Investors also monitored fresh economic data, as South Korea’s industrial production unexpectedly fell 0.7% in April while retail sales slumped 3.6%, marking the steepest decline since July 2020.
