South Korea's Kospi plunges as chip selloff deepens
Original: kospi
South Korea's benchmark Kospi index sank roughly 6% as a selloff in semiconductor stocks extended, with investors growing sceptical about the durability of the memory-chip boom that had powered the market's rally. The country's once red-hot AI-linked shares are struggling to find buyers, and analysts are questioning whether the world's hottest-performing stock market this year has entered a lasting correction.
Why now: A sharp one-day drop in Korean markets and doubts over the AI chip rally are fuelling global investor concern.
