BREAKING: KOSPI Sinks 3.52% to Lowest Close Since April! 🇰🇷📉
South Korea's KOSPI crashed -201.89 points (-3.52%) to 5,533.77 today — its lowest close since April. This is 39.3% below its June record high.
What happened?
SK Hynix -5.48% and Samsung -4.02% led the selloff as institutions net sold 464.1B won. KOSDAQ also fell -3.62% to 764.1. Nikkei -2.65% to 62,907 followed.
Reason: AI capex bubble fears! Meta raised AI spending floor to $135B and Tesla cut capex to $20B — market is repricing AI memory demand. Bank of Korea held rates at 3.00%, no relief.
Crypto impact? Korea is top 3 for crypto trading (Upbit, Bithumb). When stocks dump, leveraged traders de-risk crypto too — BTC fell to $82.6K after failing $84.8K breakout.
