South Korea's benchmark Kospi index closed higher on Tuesday, driven by a broad-based rebound in technology heavyweights.
The rally came as investors sought to capitalize on strength in the sector, even as renewed tensions in the Middle East weighed on sentiment.
The market move reflects a delicate balance between sector-specific optimism and broader geopolitical risk.
While technology shares provided the primary lift, investors remained cautious about the potential for escalation in the Middle East to disrupt global supply chains or energy markets.
This session follows a period of volatility, with the Kospi having closed nearly 1 percent higher earlier in the week on similar tech-led strength.
The sustained interest in technology stocks suggests that investors are currently prioritizing sector momentum over geopolitical headwinds, at least in the short term.
