KOSPI hits record peak

The market's dramatic return comes just two months after a severe rout caused by the initial Middle East crisis.

Investors are increasingly optimistic that a negotiated settlement will stabilize global energy supplies and reduce geopolitical risk.

Leading tech firms like Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix saw significant share price increases as demand for AI-related hardware remains robust.

Analysts suggest that the KOSPI's performance reflects a broader trend of corporate resilience in the face of international turmoil.
