Snippet:
South Korean stocks soared by more than 8 percent Tuesday, sharply rebounding from the over 8 percent plunge the previous session, to reclaim the 8,000-point threshold, as risk-on sentiment prevailed amid a ceasefire between Israel and Iran and confidence over the artificial intelligence boom. The local currency sharply rose against the US dollar.
