Korea's benchmark KOSPI continued its bullish upward trend Friday, finishing at 3,152.18 points, setting another all-time high for the stock index, following Thursday when it also surpassed the 3,000-mark.

한국의 종합주가지수인 코스피는 목요일 3,000선을 돌파한 데 이어 금요일 3,152.18포인트로 마감하며 상승세를 이어갔다.


Friday's run saw an increase of 3.97 percent from the previous session, when the closing price of the main stock index exceeded the symbolic 3,000-mark for the first time since it was launched in 1983. The index once topped 3,161.11 points during intra-day trading Friday.

금요일 주가지수는 전일보다 3.97% 상승했고, 1983년 코스피 출범 이후 처음으로 상징적인 3,000선을 넘어 마감했다. 금요일 장중 3,161.11포인트를 넘어서기도 했다.


Foreign investors' net buying of 1.64 trillion won led the index's spike, while individual and institutional investors net sold 558 billion won and 1.14 trillion won, respectively.

외국인들의 1조6400억원 순매수가 지수 상승을 이끌었고 개인과 기관투자자들은 각각 5580억원과 1조1400억원을 순매도했다.


Samsung Electronics, the country's largest market cap company, saw its share price rise by 7.12 percent, to finish at 88,800 won. The jump followed the electronics giant's announcement earlier in the day that it reached an operating profit of 35.9 trillion won ― a 29.46 percent jump year-on-year.

국내 시가총액 최대 기업인 삼성전자의 주가는 7.12% 오른 8만8800원에 마감했다. 이 같은 상승세는 삼성전자가 지난해 35조9천억원의 영업이익(전년 대비 29.46% 증가)을 달성했다는 발표 뒤에 나왔다.


Hyundai Motor stocks also soared to 246,000 won per share, a 19.42 percent jump from the previous session, following media reports about the possibility of a strategic partnership with Apple in the production of electronic vehicles. Other Hyundai affiliates ― Hyundai Mobis, Hyundai AutoEver, Hyundai WIA and Hyundai Glovis ― all saw their prices rise.

현대자동차의 주가도 애플과 전기자동차 생산의 전략적 제휴 가능성에 대한 언론 보도에 이어 전일 대비 19.42% 급등한 주당 24만6000원으로 치솟았다. 현대모비스, 현대오토에버, 현대위아, 현대글로비스 등 다른 계열사들도 모두 주가가 올랐다.


Other blue-chip companies, such as SK hynix, LG Chem, Samsung SDI, Kakao, all hit 52-week highs on the bullish market.

SK하이닉스, LG화학, 삼성SDI, 카카오와 같은 우량 기업들도 모두 이날 강세장에서 52주 신고가를 기록했다.


By sector, IT and electronics recorded about a five percent jump on average, while the manufacturing industry and service sectors logged 4 percent.

업종별로는 IT 및 전자 업종이 평균 5% 정도 상승한 반면 제조업과 서비스업은 4% 상승을 기록했다.


However, the nation's tech-heavy KOSDAQ fell to close at 987.79 points, 0.11 percent down from the previous session.

그러나 기술주 중심의 코스닥지수는 전날보다 0.11% 하락한 987.79포인트로 마감했다.
