KOSPI Breaks 5,000 as Samsung, SK Hynix Jump and Trump’s Greenland Retreat Eases Jitters

KOSPI Breaks 5,000 as Samsung, SK Hynix Jump and Trump’s Greenland Retreat Eases Jitters

South Korea’s benchmark KOSPI topped 5,000 points for the first time on Thursday, rising as much as 2.2% to 5,019.54. Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix led the move, while Hyundai Motor traded at a record. “The bullish market trend this time is a fundamentals-driven one based on earnings growth,” said Kim Jae-seung, an analyst at Hyundai Motor Securities. The index is up about 19% so far this month after a 76% jump in 2025 — its biggest annual gain since 1999 — and the run has become a political and market marker for President Lee Jae Myung’s “KOSPI 5,000” pledge. Lee has pushed tax and market measures aimed at narrowing the “Korea discount”, the tendency for local stocks to trade at lower valuations than overseas peers, often blamed on weak governance and low dividends.

  • WTI Oil Jumps 7% as US Strikes Iran, Strait of Hormuz Threatened
    July 8, 2026, 1:32 PM EDT. WTI crude oil prices climbed 7.41%, reaching a two-week high as US-Iran tensions flared and the Strait of Hormuz faced new risk. The route is critical for global oil shipments. Gasoline futures were up 6.62% to a one-month high. The US hit over 80 Iranian sites after Iran targeted commercial vessels. President Trump said more US strikes and blockades were possible. Iran threatened to shut the Strait, putting supplies in doubt. The crude crack spread moved to a record, making refining more attractive. Higher supply from Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Russia did little to ease IEA concern, as it still expects global oil demand to fall 1.1 million barrels a day in 2024. The US Energy Department raised its crude output forecast for 2026, another weight on prices.
