Seoul Composite Index Extends Gains to 4%

A 4% intraday move in the KOSPI is large enough to read as a broad risk-appetite shift in Seoul rather than isolated stock-specific news, and it matters most for anyone with Korean equity exposure or regional Asia allocations. The absence of a stated catalyst in the report is itself notable: moves of this size without an obvious trigger often reflect positioning or spillover from external markets rather than domestic fundamentals. Whether the index holds the gain into the close, or fades, is the open question worth watching.
