Reuters reported that the index closed down 8.3%, with major semiconductor names under heavy pressure. Samsung Electronics dropped 10.2%, while SK Hynix fell 7.7%. The selloff came as investors pulled back from high-flying AI and chip stocks following strong U.S. jobs data and renewed concerns that the Federal Reserve could keep interest rates higher for longer. South Korea has been one of the biggest winners of the AI semiconductor boom, but this move shows how quickly crowded trades can reverse. Is this just a correction, or the start of a bigger global AI-stock unwind? #SouthKorea #KOSPI #StockMarket #MarketNews #TechStocks #SnaphomzNewz TPJf1VlGdsy 22MDFV3XHFs Ol0enhWLbS0 41vHTBCKZBz 4QsiSjVuRAB
