#KospiFalls4.58% South Korea's benchmark KOSPI closed down 4.58% at 6,296.38, erasing recent gains as a global tech selloff weighed heavily on investor sentiment. The biggest pressure came from semiconductor stocks, with SK Hynix falling 10.37% and Samsung Electronics losing 6.30% as concerns over AI spending and future chip demand resurfaced. Foreign investors sold more than 3.3 trillion won ($2.4B) in equities, easily overpowering retail dip-buyers. If weakness in global tech continues, Asian markets could remain under pressure in the near term. $HOME $HEI $HEI.US #KospiFalls4.58% #KOSPI
