Korea's October exports double on chip boom

South Korea's exports more than doubled in the first 20 days of October, reaching a record $61.6 billion, driven by robust semiconductor shipments, according to customs data released Wednesday. The won also extended gains to a fresh two-year high against the dollar, supported by the strong export performance and foreign inflows. Korean media highlight the chip-driven surge as a key economic bright spot, with related developments including Nvidia adding Samsung Electro-Mechanics to its substrate supply chain and Hyundai Mobis strengthening partnerships to build a local automotive chip ecosystem.
