韩国股市正经历一场历史性狂飙。综合三重驱动力——AI浪潮引爆的存储芯片超级周期、持续压缩的"韩国折价"以及宏观政策的积极配合——韩国综合 股价指数（Kospi）今年以来已累计上涨近50%，成为全球表现最亮眼的主要股市。 Kospi周四首次收于6300点上方，在过去11个交易日中有10天录得上涨，连续刷新历史高位。德意志银行策略师Jim Reid将其称为"2026年最非凡的股票 市场"，并指出这一涨幅"通常需要数年乃至数十年，而非数周"。高盛此前将Kospi年末目标价上调至5700点，但该指数已在一周内超越这一目标。 这场涨势的直接催化剂是内存芯片价格的垂直拉升——超大规模云计算厂商正在抢购一切可得的DRAM和HBM芯片。三星电子和SK海力士合计占Kospi 总市值约40%，两者年内分别上涨82.5%和69.8%。 与此同时，据华尔街见闻此前文章指出，韩国总统李在明凭早年炒股亏损的"散户"经验，自去年6月上任后通过强化董事会问责、改革股息税及打击市 场违规，掀起激进的金融改革。这些举措进一步放大了这轮行情。 AI存储超级周期：行情的核心引擎 此轮Kospi暴涨的最直接驱动力，来自全球AI基础设施建设对内存芯片的 ...
