#KOSPIFalls3.53%BackBelow6000:
South Korea’s KOSPI suffered a sharp decline on October 30, 2026, falling approximately 3.53% and slipping back below the psychologically important 6,000 level. The sell-off was driven by growing concerns over AI investment returns and weakness in global technology stocks.
Semiconductor giants SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics faced significant selling pressure, while foreign investors accelerated withdrawals. The Korea Exchange even activated a sell-side trading curb amid the market turmoil. Investors are now watching global tech earnings, AI spending, and foreign capital flows for signs of stabilization or further downside.
