Asian equity markets witnessed a dramatic shift as optimism in the semiconductor and AI sectors accelerated. According to reports, the Kospi Composite Index surged by nearly 10% during the June 12 session, reaching 8,430 points. This sharp rally represents a significant acceleration of a three-day upward trend, fueled by a tech-led rebound and improved risk sentiment following a retreat in global oil prices.
The robust performance of the Kospi comes as regional markets show mixed dynamics, with South Korean giants like Samsung and SK Hynix benefiting from surging global chip demand. In comparison to neighboring markets, Japanese data showed GDP growth of 1.8% annualized per market data on June 7, bolstering confidence in Asian economic stability. Furthermore, easing inflationary pressures in the region has supported the profit margins of major manufacturing firms.
