South Korea's KOSPI index rose, attracting buying interest after consecutive two-day declines.

The South Korean stock market KOSPI index briefly rose by 2.7%, but later fell back as the previous two days of decline attracted bargain-hunters into technology stocks. The overnight rebound of US technology stocks also boosted market sentiment. As of press time, the KOSPI index has risen by 1.23%. SK Hynix, Samsung Electronics, and LG Energy led the gains. The small-cap KOSDAQ index also rose by 2.1% at one point.
