SEOUL, Sept. 22 (Yonhap) -- South Korean stocks opened sharply higher Tuesday, led by gains in tech heavyweights, following a record close for the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite amid revived hopes for artificial intelligence (AI) and a fall in global oil prices and bond yields.

The benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) rose 153.89 points, or 2.2 percent, to 7,161.61 at the opening bell.

On Monday (local time), U.S. stocks rallied, with the Nasdaq Composite rising 2.3 percent. The S&P 500 gained 1.5 percent, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.7 percent.

Investor sentiment improved sharply, backed by a broad rally in AI-related stocks as well as falling oil prices and softening U.S. Treasury yields.

首尔，9月22日（韩联社）——周二，韩国股市大幅高开，科技股领涨。此前，以科技股为主的纳斯达克综合指数创下历史新高，这主要得益于人工智能（AI）前景的复苏以及全球油价和债券收益率的下跌。

韩国综合股价指数（KOSPI）开盘上涨153.89点，涨幅2.2%，至7161.61点。

周一（当地时间），美国股市上涨，纳斯达克综合指数上涨2.3%，标准普尔500指数上涨1.5%，道琼斯工业平均指数上涨0.7%。

受人工智能相关股票全面上涨、油价下跌和美国国债收益率走软的提振，投资者情绪大幅改善。
