South Korean Shares Rise on Renewed Trade Optimism

Source: MIST

Trading Economics-


The benchmark KOSPI rose 0.42% to close at 3,209 on Monday, extending gains from the previous week amid growing optimism ahead of high-stakes trade negotiations. Finance Minister Koo Yun-cheol is scheduled to meet with US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Thursday in a final effort to secure a resolution before the implementation of reciprocal tariffs on August 1. Adding to the positive momentum, Samsung Electronics Co. announced on Monday that it has secured a 22.8 trillion-won (US$16.4 billion) foundry order, set to be completed by December 31, 2033. The announcement was welcomed by investors as a sign of strengthening demand for high-performance chip manufacturing, reinforcing confidence in South Korea’s tech sector at a time of heightened geopolitical and trade-related uncertainty. In the corporate sector, major gainers were Samsung Electronics (6.22%), LG Energy Solution (4.68%), and HD Hyundai Heavy Industries (4.16%).
