Ask what Korea is talking about.

US stocks ticked higher Tuesday, with the S&P 500 rising 0.5 percent and pulling within 1.3 percent of its all-time high, as AI-industry stocks like Broadcom supported the market, the Korea Times reports. Korean stocks opened higher the same day, tracking Wall Street gains and renewed AI optimism, with the benchmark KOSPI opening 3.46 percent higher and trading nearly 4 percent up by late morning, led by tech shares, per the Korea Times and Yonhap. The rebound was also tied to news of US AI company Anthropic's planned blockbuster IPO, which revived investment sentiment and lifted semiconductor heavyweights, the Korea Times reports. The Korean won edged down to 1,323.7 won per dollar ahead of a Federal Reserve meeting this week.
