South Korea\'s KOSPI keeps setting record highs, rising well above 7,000 and nearing the 8,000 mark as foreign buying focuses on large-cap semiconductor and AI shares. The rally is also linked to expectations for government policy and global liquidity, although several factors are seen as potential volatility risks. Investor money is shifting into policy funds, ETFs and tax-saving accounts, while banks expand corporate finance and strategic tie-ups. AI adoption is spreading across financial services.
