The KOSPI has crossed the 6000 mark, marking a historic achievement, with a significant rise attributed to the booming semiconductor industry and government market support policies.
On the 25th, the KOSPI index reached a historic high by surpassing 6000 points, closing at 6083.86, reflecting a rise of 1.91% from the previous day. This milestone comes only months after it broke the 5000-point mark, a remarkable recovery for the index that first crossed the 3000 threshold in January 2021. The recent surge is primarily fueled by the semiconductor sector's explosive growth, driven by the artificial intelligence boom, with major companies like Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix accounting for over half of the market capitalization increase since the last general elections in June.
