Asian Markets Rise on AI Optimism and Semiconductor Sector Gains
Asian stock markets rose following a Wall Street rally driven by optimism around artificial intelligence (AI) investments and semiconductor demand. South Korea's KOSPI surged over 4%, led by gains in Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, supported by stronger-than-expected economic growth. Japan's Nikkei increased nearly 2%, boosted by AI-related stocks and Anthropic's IPO filing in the US. Other regional markets showed mixed results amid cautious investor sentiment ahead of corporate earnings and central bank decisions.
