6.1
South Korean shares closed 1.63 percent higher Tuesday, March 17, with the KOSPI up 90.63 points to 5,640.48, rising for a second day. The advance followed a drop in global oil prices—Brent fell 2.8% to $100.21 and WTI dipped 5.3% to $93.50—and renewed optimism in the AI sector after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang projected $1 trillion in sales within the next year. Market sensitivity suggests energy and tech cues drive local equities.
