South Korean shares started higher on Sept 5, with the benchmark KOSPI rising about 0.5% to around 3,201, supported by gains in technology and industrial stocks.
Kornic Automation jumped 26% in early trade to top the gainers’ list, while DB Inc rose 8.4%, SK Oceanplant added 7%, and Hyundai Movex gained nearly 6%. Samsung Electronics, the market’s most heavily traded stock, held steady and continued to anchor overall volumes.
The advance extends recent momentum, with the KOSPI having climbed more than 40 points in earlier sessions. Analysts said investor sentiment remains upbeat, fuelled by regional demand for tech shares and stronger performance in industrial names.
