South Korea's exports jumped 93.7 percent year-on-year to a record $115.3 billion in October, driven by strong semiconductor sales, according to Yonhap and the Korea Times. KBS World adds that exports surpassed $110 billion for the second straight month and topped $900 billion for the January-October period, fueled by AI demand. DRAM prices also hit a new record in October, per Business Korea. Korean media frame this as a historic milestone, with the export surge widely attributed to the global AI-driven chip boom.
