Korea October Exports Double on Chip Surge

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 hit a fresh two-year high against the dollar, supported by strong exports and foreign inflows, while the KOSPI surged 3.3% as foreign buyers returned after a previous day's crash. Korean media frame this as a dramatic rebound, with chip demand powering the economy and boosting market confidence.
