The Seoul stock market finished the trading session with gains on Wednesday, as investors remained optimistic about the artificial intelligence sector. This positive momentum for major chip manufacturers helped the Korea Composite Stock Price Index climb by 97.12 points, representing a 1.4 percent increase to reach 7,051.64. The performance of local tech stocks mirrored the growth seen in the Philadelphia semiconductor index, which rose 1.3 percent despite broader market volatility on Wall Street. These gains occurred even as geopolitical instability in the Middle East created uncertainty in global financial markets. Additionally, the South Korean won experienced an appreciation in value against the US dollar during the day's trading session.
