STOCKS | South Korea's Equity Benchmark Reaches New Milestone Amid Chip Demand Surge

South Korea's equity benchmark has reached a new milestone, driven by a surge in global memory demand. Bloomberg posted on X that just a month after surpassing the 5,000 mark, the index has crossed another significant threshold. This growth is largely attributed to the performance of the country's leading chipmakers, which have benefited from increased demand in the global memory market.
