      South Korea’s equity market has overtaken India’s as the world’s sixth largest, driven by a relentless surge in chip heavyweights powering the global artificial intelligence buildout.

      The total market capitalization of Korea-listed companies has soared 86% this year to $5 trillion, while India’s has declined to $4.8 trillion, data compiled by Bloomberg show.

      Samsung and SK Hynix, newly minted members of the $1 trillion valuation club, have powered Korea’s equity surge, lifting the Kospi’s 2026 gains to more than 100% through their dominance in AI memory chips. Korea has vaulted past Canada, Germany, the UK, and France this year.

      Korea’s bull market isn’t over. I think we’re still in the early innings of a multi-year AI-driven cycle that could last until at least the first half of 2029. 🚀

      It’s exciting. And I’m being a debbie downer but I do worry about how painful the inevitable pullback will be. Meteoric growth concentrated in an unprecedented demand boom in what is usually a cyclical industry gets me nervous.

      Flip flopping every day so hard to keep up
