Global Market: South Korean shares rebound as chipmakers recover after five-day losing streak

South Korean shares, as tracked by the KOSPI index, rebounded 0.74% on Wednesday after a five-day losing streak. This recovery is largely attributed to the rise in semiconductor stocks, particularly Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, which benefited from a recovery in US AI chipmakers. The positive market trend is a welcome relief for investors, but it's worth noting that foreign investors continued to sell shares, and bond yields mostly rose. The won's slight strengthening is a positive sign for the South Korean economy.
