stocks-morning Seoul shares sharply up late Wed. morning on Wall Street gains SEOUL, Dec. 20 (Yonhap) -- South Korean stocks rose more than 1 percent late Wednesday morning in line with overnight gains on Wall Street. The benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) climbed 26.59 points, or 1.04 percent, to 2,595.14 as of 11:20 a.m. U.S. stock indexes gained ground overnight, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average rising 0.68 percent and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite edging up 0.66 percent, as last week's dovish policy pivot by the Federal Reserve continued to stoke upward market momentum.

Market bellwether Samsung Electronics rose 0.82 percent, and No. 2 chipmaker SK hynix jumped 1.23 percent. Leading battery maker LG Energy Solution climbed 1.17 percent, and its smaller rival Samsung SDI added 1.89 percent.
