On November 10, South Korea's KOSPI stock index successfully rebounded by 4% over four trading days, driven by a surge in tech stocks from the US market and an increase in investor confidence. The KOSPI and KOSDAQ indices, which had experienced a significant drop following concerns over AI investment speed and semiconductor industry conditions, both opened at a higher price on this day and surged by over 4%.
The KOSPI index closed at 5,239.13, marking a gain of 220.28 points (4.39%) from the prior trading day, while the KOSDAQ index closed at 667.61, surging by 28.64 points (4.48%). The growth rate for this day was the highest since August 10, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index surging by 6.85% and the won-dollar exchange rate in the Seoul foreign exchange market showing a downward trend, thus improving the foreign supply and demand environment.
Foreign and institutional investors, who had previously shown a selling advantage, jointly participated in buying, while individual investors focused on profit realization by selling their holdings. The large-cap semiconductor stocks, including Samsung Electronics and SK hynix, played a crucial role in the market surge, with Samsung Electronics closing at 198,900 won, up 4.74% from the previous day, and SK hynix reaching 1,212,000 won.
Other companies such as Hyundai Motor, LG Energy Solution, and Samsung Electro-Mechanics also experienced increases in their stock prices.
