South Korean shares rose nearly 2% on Tuesday to their highest level in three weeks, led by gains in heavyweight semiconductor stocks<\/a> as investor concerns over the sustainability of artificial intelligence-related investment demand eased, according to a report by Reuters.<\/p>\n

The benchmark Kospi<\/a> gained 133.95 points, or 1.91%, to 7,129.34 as of 0217 GMT, extending its winning streak to a fourth session. The index also reached its highest intraday level since August 18.<\/p>\n

Chipmakers led the advance, with Samsung Electronics<\/a> rising 2.59% and SK Hynix<\/a> climbing 3.98%. According to the report, easing concerns over the durability of AI investment demand<\/a> have helped improve sentiment toward the semiconductor sector after it came under pressure last month.<\/p>\n
