Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix Lead Advance

Major U.S. media outlets have turned more bullish on South Korean stocks, saying the market has entered a technical bull phase and may continue its sharp rebound. The Kospi has climbed more than 20% in a little over 10 days as concern over AI spending eased and memory-chip stocks led by Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix drove the advance. Foreign money has piled into large semiconductor shares, fueling expectations for further gains in the benchmark index.
