KOSPI outlook after record highs: semiconductors, dollar and earnings in focus

South Korean stocks are extending a record-high run, keeping attention on factors likely to drive the market next. The market sees a semiconductor-led rally likely to continue for now despite near-term overheating concerns, but expects sector moves to diverge depending on the U.S. Federal Reserve’s policy rate decision, whether the dollar turns weaker and the direction of international oil prices. Investors are also watching the corporate earnings season for guidance.

Bitcoin hits highest since February on Trump ceasefire extension

Bitcoin rose above $79,000 at one point, its highest level in about 2 1/2 months, as expectations of easing Middle East tensions boosted appetite for risk assets. The rebound followed U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to extend a ceasefire with Iran for two weeks while keeping a port blockade. U.S. stocks also gained. Analysts also cited central bank gold buying and a surge in China’s silver imports, while warning risks remain.
