Korea's Oct 1-20 exports double on chip surge

Korea's exports more than doubled during the first 20 days of October, reaching a record $61.6 billion, driven by robust semiconductor shipments, according to customs data released Wednesday. The surge also lifted the Korean won to a fresh two-year high against the dollar, supported by strong exports and foreign inflows, while the KOSPI rebounded 3.3% to reclaim 5,700 as foreign buyers returned after a previous day's crash. News outlets report the export figures as provisional data, highlighting the chip-driven upswing as a key factor in the record performance.
