KOSPI nears 8,500 as focus turns to whether semiconductor rally cools

South Korea\'s stock market this week is expected to test whether heavy concentration in semiconductor and AI leaders begins to ease as the KOSPI approaches 8,500. The KOSPI closed at 8,476.15 on May 29 after a sharp rise, while the Kosdaq fell. Gains were driven by a limited number of large caps and leveraged products. Analysts see June as a period of moderating momentum, with attention on the pace of gains and continued dominance by Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix.
