Asian shares rise, South Korea's Kospi jumps 6% after Wall Street gains

Asian shares advanced Thursday, tracking Wall Street gains, and South Korea's benchmark Kospi jumped more than 6 per cent.

The Kospi surged 6.1 per cent to 6,858.91 after sinking 5.8 per cent on Wednesday on renewed selling of shares related to artificial intelligence. Samsung Electronics jumped 9.7 per cent, while memory chipmaker SK Hynix surged 14.1 per cent after the company announced a significant share buyback plan.
