Kospi briefly falls below 6,000 as chip rout deepens
Original: Kospi tumbles as chip rout deepens, briefly breaking below 6,000
South Korea's Kospi index tumbled on Monday, briefly breaking below the 6,000 level as a global selloff in semiconductor stocks deepened. Chipmakers led the decline, with investors fretting over valuations and the pace of the AI-driven rally. The drop underscores how heavily the Korean market's recent gains have leaned on its memory-chip champions, leaving it exposed when sentiment toward the sector turns.
Why now: A sharp market drop in a major Asian index is grabbing attention as investors assess whether the chip and AI rally is unraveling.
