More →KOSPI plunges 7% on AI chip selloff
CoinWorld data: The KOSPI index plunged 7% as the global AI chip selloff intensified, triggering a trading halt and causing South Korean stocks to lose billions. On Thursday, the KOSPI suffered another heavy blow, hitting its lowest point since late July, with seven consecutive trading days of declines—the longest losing streak since 2024. Although it is still up about 30% in 2026, the index has fallen about 39% from its historical high in June. Due to the enormous weight of semiconductor companies in the stock market, South Korea is particularly vulnerable in the latest tech selloff. Samsung Electronics shares fell 9%, and SK Hynix dropped 11%. Foreign investors sold about 2.9 trillion won (approximately $2.15 billion) worth of South Korean stocks during the trading day, intensifying market pressure. Investors are worried about the future returns of the AI investment boom, especially against the backdrop of higher-than-expected U.S. inflation, which has heightened expectations that interest rates may remain high or rise further.
