Seoul shares rebound late Wednesday morning on tech gains

Korean stocks rebounded late Wednesday morning, driven by gains in technology shares. This recovery is a positive sign for the market, as it suggests investors are becoming more optimistic about the economy. The rebound is particularly significant given the previous day's sharp decline, which was triggered by concerns over big artificial intelligence firms' heavy capital spending. As a result, the Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) rose by 1.14 percent, providing some relief to investors.
