KOSPI regained the 7,000 level on Friday, ending above the threshold for the first time in five trading sessions as a late rebound erased earlier losses.

The benchmark index added 32.39 points, or 0.46 percent, to finish at 7,003.74. After opening 33.08 points, or 0.47 percent, lower at 6,938.27, it extended its decline to as much as 0.62 percent. The index then swung between gains and losses before moving higher toward the close.

Early selling reflected profit-taking ahead of the National Foundation Day holiday and caution over U.S. Treasury yields. Buying interest subsequently recovered, drawing support from an overnight rise in U.S. artificial intelligence (AI) and semiconductor shares following Micron’s strong earnings.

“The market paused after the previous day’s KOSPI rally, with little fresh news from Wall Street overnight,” Kang Jin-hyuk, an analyst at Shinhan Securities, said. “A retreat in U.S. Treasury yields after an intraday rise helped steady sentiment, while a Federal Reserve official’s reluctance to rush into further rate hikes offered some relief.”

Wall Street’s three main indexes posted modest gains overnight. AI and chip stocks also advanced, with Micron climbing 3.03 percent.

The yield on the U.S. 10-year Treasury note briefly hit 5.342 percent, a level last seen on April 3, 2002. Expectations of another interest rate increase nevertheless eased after a Fed official signaled a cautious approach to further tightening.

Speaking at the University of Virginia, Fed Vice Chair Philip Jefferson stressed the need to weigh trends in incoming data and changes in the economic outlook before making further policy adjustments. He said reaching individual judgments could require more time for him and his fellow policymakers.

Samsung Electronics edged down 0.18 percent, while SK hynix ended 0.44 percent higher.

Samsung had bought back 53.8 million shares by Thursday, meeting the target outlined in its earlier announcement. Purchases since August amounted to 100.96 percent of the planned total.

The tech-heavy Kosdaq, meanwhile, slipped 1 point, or 0.11 percent, to 893.29. Following an opening decline of 1.07 points, or 0.12 percent, to 893.22, the index briefly reclaimed the 900 mark for the first time in three months before surrendering its gains.

In the foreign exchange market, the won gained 7.8 won against the dollar to end onshore trading at 1,350.6 won per dollar.

韩国综合股价指数（KOSPI）周五重回7000点大关，五个交易日以来首次收于该关口上方，尾盘反弹抹去了早盘的跌幅。

基准指数上涨32.39点，涨幅0.46%，收于7003.74点。该指数开盘下跌33.08点，跌幅0.47%，报6938.27点，随后跌幅扩大至0.62%。之后，该指数在涨跌之间波动，最终收盘走高。

早盘抛售反映了投资者在国庆节假期前获利回吐以及对美国国债收益率的谨慎态度。随后买盘兴趣回升，受美光科技强劲财报提振，隔夜美国人工智能和半导体股票上涨，支撑了买盘。

新韩证券分析师姜镇赫表示：“韩国综合股价指数（KOSPI）前一日上涨后，市场出现停滞，隔夜华尔街鲜有新消息。美国国债收益率在盘中上涨后回落，有助于稳定市场情绪，而美联储官员不愿急于进一步加息也带来了一些缓解。”

华尔街三大股指隔夜小幅上涨。人工智能和芯片类股也出现上涨，其中美光科技股价上涨3.03%。

美国10年期国债收益率一度触及5.342%，这是自2002年4月3日以来的最低水平。不过，在美联储官员暗示将谨慎对待进一步紧缩政策后，市场对再次加息的预期有所缓解。

美联储副主席菲利普·杰斐逊在弗吉尼亚大学发表讲话时强调，在做出进一步的政策调整之前，需要权衡最新数据的趋势和经济前景的变化。他表示，做出具体的判断可能需要他和他的政策制定伙伴们花费更多时间。

三星电子股价小幅下跌0.18%，而SK海力士股价上涨0.44%。

截至周四，三星已回购5380万股股票，达到了此前公告中设定的目标。自8月以来的回购量已达到计划总量的100.96%。

与此同时，科技股为主的韩国创业板指数下跌1点，跌幅0.11%，至893.29点。该指数开盘下跌1.07点，跌幅0.12%，至893.22点，之后短暂地重新回到900点大关，这是三个月以来的首次，但随后又回吐了涨幅。

在外汇市场上，韩元兑美元上涨7.8韩元，最终在岸交易收于1美元兑1350.6韩元。

受美国国债收益率和油价下跌影响，韩国综合股价指数（KOSPI）走低，投资者情绪承压。
