KOSPI and Nikkei 225 Surge to Record Highs in Major Market Rally

The assessment of the statement, which makes two distinct claims (a record high for KOSPI and a record high for the Nikkei 225), is based on the strong, albeit uneven, support from the provided sources.First, the claim that the KOSPI index reached a record high is unequivocally supported by multiple high-authority sources. A daily market update from LPL Financial and a direct news report from KED Global both explicitly state that the KOSPI achieved new record highs. Another source, TradingEconomics, provides historical data that would corroborate this. This constitutes strong, direct evidence for the first half of the statement.Second, the claim regarding the Nikkei 225 is supported indirectly. While no source summary explicitly states that the Nikkei 225 reached a record high, the primary source provided for this claim is Yahoo Finance's historical data. The provision of a highly authoritative and relevant data source for verification, in the complete absence of any contradictory information across all sources, lends significant credibility to this part of the claim. The lack of an explicit confirmation is the main source of uncertainty.In conclusion, with one part of the conjunctive statement being directly and strongly confirmed, and the other part being implicitly supported by a primary data source without any conflicting evidence, the overall statement is evaluated as 'likely_true'. The confidence level is 'high' due to the quality of the sources and the lack of contradictions. The truth probability is set at 0.85 to reflect the minor uncertainty stemming from the lack of a direct textual confirmation for the Nikkei 225 record.
