Global Markets Rise on AI Chip Gains Amid Rising Oil Prices and Inflation Concerns
Global stock markets showed mixed but generally positive movements driven by gains in artificial intelligence-linked semiconductor stocks. South Korea's Kospi surged over 6%, led by chipmakers like Samsung and SK Hynix, while Chinese mainland shares advanced modestly. US markets saw strong performances from AI chipmakers despite rising oil prices and inflation concerns linked to Middle East tensions. Investors remain cautious ahead of major tech earnings from companies like Alphabet and Tesla, balancing optimism about AI investments with geopolitical and inflation risks.
