Summary

  • The broader Kospi mirrored that volatility, swinging from a 2.8% drop at the open to a 0.6% gain as investors reassessed the selloff.
  • Samsung Electronics moved the other way, rising as much as 4.3%, underscoring uneven sentiment across Korean chip stocks even as AI memory pressure spread from the US market.
