South Korea’s KOSPI rises sharply at the start of trading on Wednesday, gaining about 4.1% after a steep sell-off the previous day. According to market reports, the index climbs more than 330 points almost immediately after trading begins, effectively recouping a large portion of losses from a near 10% drop a day earlier. The KOSPI is reported around 8,550.21 shortly after the open. Shares of major chipmakers lead the rebound. SK Hynix is up roughly 5%, while Samsung Electronics, a widely followed bellwether, jumps more than 9% at the start of the session. The surge reflects a broad recovery in semiconductor-linked stocks following the prior day’s decline. Both outlets describe the move as rapid, occurring within moments of the market open, and they tie the gains primarily to strength in chip-related equities.
