South Korea’s benchmark KOSPI index climbed nearly 0.6% on Thursday, setting a new all-time high for the second consecutive day and briefly touching the 3,340 mark during morning trading.

According to the Korea Exchange, the KOSPI stood at 3,326.45 as of 9:17 a.m., up 0.36% from the previous session. The index extended its rally from the day before, when it also closed at a record level.

The gains were driven by continued buying from foreign investors and institutions, which net purchased 26.3 billion won and 7.8 billion won worth of shares, respectively, in early trade. Both groups have maintained a buying streak for four straight sessions.

Among the top five stocks by market capitalization, Samsung Electronics rose 0.41%, SK Hynix jumped 2.63%, LG Energy Solution gained 2.50%, and Hanwha Aerospace advanced 1.76%. Samsung Biologics dipped 0.10%.
