 Both the US Nasdaq and South Korea’s KOSPI recorded strong gains. On July 14, US markets rebounded, led by tech stocks, thanks to cooler-than-expected inflation data and strong earnings from major Wall Street banks. Riding on this positive momentum and a massive wave of foreign net buying, South Korea's KOSPI surged over 8% intraday on July 15.
