On Friday, the market opened at a record high of 4-thousand-8-hundred-20-point-six-six marking the 11th straight day of gains the longest run since 2019.

Retail investors are fueling the rally, with the net purchase of shares, while foreigners and institutions are currently net selling. The positive sentiment tracks overnight gains on Wall Street, where the Dow and Nasdaq closed higher. Record earnings from TSMC highlighted strong AI chip demand, boosting the semiconductor sector globally.
