Korea's October Exports Double on Chip Boom

South 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 U.S. dollar, supported by strong exports and foreign inflows. Korean media highlight the chip-driven growth as a key economic driver, with reports noting the record figure and continued upswing in semiconductor demand.
