Seoul shares open sharply higher on tech rebound, Iran-Israel ceasefire

South Korean equities experienced a significant rally at the opening of trading on Tuesday, driven primarily by a recovery in technology stocks and positive sentiment surrounding a ceasefire agreement between Iran and Israel. The benchmark index gained considerable ground as investors rotated back into the tech sector, which had faced recent headwinds. The geopolitical development in the Middle East also contributed to broader market confidence, reducing concerns about regional tensions that could disrupt global economic activity.

The performance of South Korean markets reflects how technology sector momentum and international geopolitical developments directly influence investor sentiment and capital allocation in major Asian economies.
