Kospi Index Hits Record High as Investors Eye Fed Rate Cut Amid US-China Tensions

The Kospi Index soared to a fresh record high this week, capturing attention across global markets. The benchmark climbed above 3,650 points, closing at 3,657.28, up about 2.68% on the day.  This gain comes as investors increasingly expect the U.S. Federal Reserve to cut interest rates soon. At the same time, tensions between the U.S. and China remain high, adding risk to global trade and supply chains. The contrast is clear: positive market momentum meets geopolitical uncertainty.
