solarseven South Korea’s KOSPI led global equities in recent weeks, sharply outperforming major peers as semiconductor stocks powered gains across markets. The KOSPI rose 48.2% between March 31 and May 7, well ahead of Japan’s Nikkei 225, which gained 23.1%, and the Nasdaq 100, up 20.5%, based on compiled market data. The divergence was pronounced. The KOSPI’s return was more than double that of the Nasdaq and roughly 25 percentage points higher than the Nikkei, leaving a 27.7 percentage point gap between the best and worst performers. The rally was underpinned by strength in AI-linked semiconductor names across regions, though the impact was most visible in South Korea. Heavyweights Samsung Electronics ( SSNLF ) and SK Hynix (HXSCF) drove a large share of the KOSPI’s gains as memory-chip demand surged on artificial intelligence momentum. In Japan, the Nikkei’s advance was led by chip supply chain firms including Ibiden ( IBIDY ) and Sumco ( SUMCF ), while the Nasdaq 100’s 20.5% rise was supported by U.S. semiconductor names such as Advanced Micro Devices ( AMD ), Micron Technology ( MU ) and Intel ( INTC ). Relative performance highlights the skew. The KOSPI delivered roughly 2.35x the returns of the Nasdaq and over 2x the Nikkei’s gains, while the Nikkei outpaced the Nasdaq by 2.6 percentage points, reinforcing broader strength in Asian equities. The data suggests the global equity rally has been driven by a common AI theme but amplified in markets with heavier exposure to semiconductor manufacturing, positioning South Korea as the standout beneficiary over the period.

Denis Balibouse | Reuters The rally that propelled gold and silver to record-breaking highs in 2025 could pick up again if a U.S.-Iran peace deal is reached, market watchers told CNBC as prices ticked higher on Thursday. Spot gold jumped 1.2% to $4,750 per ounce early on Thursday, amid hopes that the U.S. and Iran could be nearing a deal to bring the 69-day war to an end. Stock Chart Icon Stock chart icon Spot gold U.S. gold futures were up 1.2% to settle around $4,750.00. Meanwhile, spot silver added 3% to trade at $79.62 an ounce, and silver futures for July delivery jumped 3.9%. Stock Chart Icon Stock chart icon Spot silver Gold and silver both enjoyed record-smashing rallies in 2025, surging 66% and 135%, respectively, over the course of the year. However, they have seen much more volatile trade in 2026, with silver futures suffering their biggest single-day blow since the 1980s at the end of January and gold knocking more 10% off its January peak. Since the outbreak of the U.S.-Iran war on Feb. 28, gold's reputation as a "safe haven" asset in times of turmoil has come under pressure as some of the drivers behind its ascendance have been called into question. The potential for higher interest rates, a stronger U.S. dollar resulting from a surge in oil prices, and traders exiting positions all contributed to its recent decline, particularly as the yellow metal entered the conflict "significantly overbought", according to Ross Norman, CEO of precious metals website Metals Daily. This gave dealers a reason to take profit and for the market to consolidate as traders sold up their best-performing asset, he told CNBC.

Klaus Vedfelt/DigitalVision via Getty Images By the standards of the market in 2023 or so, VeriSign ( VRSN ) stock looks relatively attractive. Multiples are not terribly high: based on 2026 guidance, VRSN trades at roughly 28x forward earnings. Free cash flow multiples are a touch higher, owing to elevated capital expenditures this year around infrastructure buildout. But given market-leading operating margins and incredible return on invested capital, even high-20s multiples seem at worst reasonable and at best a hugely attractive opportunity. This has been a stock that historically investors wanted to pay up to own. But of course this isn't the 2023 market; it's the 2026 market, where the narrative of almost every stock is dominated by its potential benefit or threat from generative artificial intelligence. And in that context, the investment case for VRSN gets much more dicey. What makes the investment case for VeriSign stock difficult is that valuation at this point is only a small part of the story. Particularly at these levels, VRSN is neither cheap enough if AI is a threat, nor too expensive if it proves to be a multi-year tailwind. In other words, particularly with a quick rebound from a sell-off earlier this year, VRSN stock is a straight bet on whether VeriSign is an AI winner, or an AI loser. And the problem there is that those directions will depend not necessarily on the business that has been built in the past, but how management chooses to respond in the future. Is VeriSign A Winner From The Rise Of Generative Artificial Intelligence? From a high level, it seems possible that VeriSign could be an AI winner. In the most simple view, VeriSign is a provider of Internet infrastructure, and generative AI may well drive exponential increases in the use of that infrastructure. One model of the AI future is one in which, by one estimate, the number of DNS (Domain Name System) registrations might explode to an incredible 10 to 50 billion over the next 24 year...

McDonald's Corporation ( MCD ) rallied on Thursday after reporting first-quarter earnings results. Global comparable sales rose 3.8% in Q1 to top the +3.7% consensus estimate and were up 3.9% in both the U.S. and the international operated markets segments. During the quarter, McDonald's ( MCD ) leaned into value offerings and added the high-margin Big Arch burger to its menu. In the U.S., positive check growth primarily drove comparable sales results. In the international operated markets segment, nearly all markets reflected positive comparable sales, led by the U.K., Germany, and Australia. The international developmental licensed markets segment was led by strong comparable sales in Japan, with all geographic regions reflecting comparable sales growth. CEO Chris Kempczinski said the 6% global systemwide sales growth showed that the company executed with discipline amid a challenging environment. "And it's our commitment to going three-for-three that sets McDonald's apart. Our value leadership, breakthrough marketing, and menu innovation continue to serve up what customers want," he noted. Seeking Alpha analyst Brendan O'Boyle noted McDonald's ( MCD ) was down year-to-date into the report. "The move discounted recent weakness in the restaurant sector and coincided with the market's aggressive pivot into higher beta names, shunning international risk. However, strong headline numbers that beat consensus estimates on the top and bottom lines dispel this narrative, setting up a stock that presents value around 21.5x 2026 EPS estimates," he wrote. Shares of McDonald's ( MCD ) were up 3.3% in premarket action. Restaurant stocks such as Wendy's ( WEN ), Shake Shack ( SHAK ), Yum! Brands ( YUM ) and Restaurant Brands International ( QSR ) are also on watch.
