The KOSPI rally is driven by a semiconductor sector surge and Middle East peace hopes. The direct commercial mechanism is a demand spike for memory chips (DRAM/NAND) from Samsung and SK hynix, boosting their revenue and margins. Foreign capital inflow strengthens the won, impacting Korean exporters' competitiveness. The impact is South Korea-specific (EM_MARKETS) and global for semiconductor supply.
