On July 4, as South Korean tech blue chips bounced back, emerging market stocks recorded their largest single-day gain since mid-June. Additionally, emerging market currencies strengthened for the second consecutive day, influenced by weaker-than-expected U.S. labor market data. On Friday, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index rose by 2.2%, marking the largest single-day increase since June 15. Strong performances from South Korean chipmakers SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics offset the drag from a decline in TSMC's stock price. The Korea Composite Stock Price Index (Kospi) surged by 5.8%, partially recovering nearly 10% losses from the previous two trading days.
