South Korean stocks opened over 1 percent higher on Monday, tracking Wall Street gains, as investors bought technology and automobile shares, but pared gains later in the morning due to profit-taking by foreigners and institutions. The KOSPI surged to a record 5,900.75 in early trading but stood at 5,835.77 by 11:20 a.m. The rally is fueled by optimism over artificial intelligence and strength in chipmakers.
