The benchmark KOSPI slipped nearly 4% to around 7,990 on Thursday, extending losses to its lowest level in three weeks, as a global selloff in AI-related semiconductor stocks pressured market heavyweights. The decline followed sharp overnight losses in US chipmakers after concerns over the sustainability of AI spending triggered a broad technology retreat, prompting investors to trim positions in South Korea’s heavily weighted semiconductor sector following the market’s strong first-half rally. Losses were led by Samsung Electronics (-6.7%) and SK Hynix (-8.4%), alongside SK Square (-9.3%), Hyundai Motor (-3.2%), HD Hyundai Heavy Industries (-2.9%), Doosan Enerbility (-3.2%), SK Inc. (-8.9%), and Hyundai Mobis (-3.1%). Domestic sentiment was also pressured after South Korea’s annual inflation rate accelerated to 3.2% in June, the highest since December 2023, reinforcing expectations that the Bank of Korea could maintain a tighter policy stance.
