South Korea’s benchmark Kospi index opened 1.36% higher on Wednesday, extending a multi-day rally in the technology sector.
The gain marks a continued divergence from broader global equity trends, where tech stocks have faced selling pressure in recent sessions.
The positive momentum in Seoul is largely driven by the semiconductor complex.
Investors are responding to a stronger-than-expected earnings report from US memory chipmaker Micron Technology, which has bolstered confidence in the memory cycle recovery.
This sentiment has spilled over into South Korean peers, which are heavily exposed to the same market dynamics.
The rally represents a clear break from the global technology selloff that has weighed on indices elsewhere.
