Following an early decline, the Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) rose by 84.21 points, or 1.66%, reaching a level of 5,143.9. Major U.S. stock indices on Friday also closed higher, driven by a revival of key chip shares. The S&P 500 increased by 0.31%, while the tech-focused Nasdaq climbed 1.09%. Investors are closely monitoring the situation surrounding Nvidia Corp., after the company announced an internal investigation into allegations that its CEO, Jensen Huang, had an affair with a suspected Chinese spy.
