South Korean Stocks Rise on Tech Rally, Pare Gains Ahead of Chuseok Holiday
South Korean stocks rose sharply on Tuesday, led by chipmakers Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, amid a global tech rally and improved investor sentiment. The KOSPI gained nearly 2%, supported by Wall Street's strong performance and easing bond yields. However, on Wednesday, gains were pared as investors grew cautious ahead of the Chuseok holiday, with foreign selling and weakness in automakers limiting advances. Discussions between South Korean and US leaders on strategic investments also influenced market sentiment.
