KOSPI nears 7,000 after five-day winning streak

The KOSPI stock market index in South Korea is nearing the 7,000 level after a five-day winning streak. This rally is largely driven by foreign investors buying up semiconductor stocks, which are benefiting from a stronger memory chip sector and easing U.S. inflation. The surge in the KOSPI index is significant, as it has nearly risen 25 percent from its low in late July.

Why it matters
