Korean stock market enters new era as KOSPI touches 5,000
South Korea\'s stock market reached the milestone KOSPI 5,000 level in intraday trading for the first time, powered by a semiconductor upcycle and robot-related momentum, while politicians pushed support measures such as tax benefits. The index later closed below 5,000. Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix led gains, and brokerages raised targets, though analysts flagged limited earnings improvement beyond chips and growing concentration in a few stocks.
