- Global shares mostly rose, lifted by buying of AI-related stocks and a decline in oil prices (AP News)
- KOSPI exited bear-market territory as a tech rally returned, and Japan's Nikkei also gained (Investing.com)
- Chinese markets slipped, bucking the broader regional upward trend (Investing.com)
- Japanese stocks drew growing optimism despite chip-related concerns, per Nikkei Asia's separate framing
Why it matters: KOSPI's exit from bear-market territory marks a concrete turning point for South Korea's tech-heavy index after a prolonged selloff, while the China divergence shows capital is selectively chasing AI-exposed names rather than committing to a broad regional rebound — concentrating gains in a narrow trade.
