Seoul’s benchmark Kospi index opened higher on Thursday, continuing a multi-day rally driven by strong performance in the technology sector.
Investors moved to buy back into chip stocks, targeting bargain prices after the previous session’s steep decline.
The positive sentiment reflects growing confidence ahead of the release of second-quarter economic data.
The advance marks another day of gains for South Korean equities, which have been supported by a wave of buying in technology shares.
This sector-led recovery suggests that market participants are viewing recent dips as buying opportunities rather than signs of deeper structural weakness.
The Kospi’s ability to sustain this upward momentum will depend on whether broader market participation can emerge alongside the tech-led gains.
