South Korea's Kospi Declines Over 40% Amid AI Selloff and Market Uncertainty
South Korea's Kospi index has declined over 40% since its June peak, driven by a selloff in AI-related stocks and concentration risks in major chipmakers like Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix. This downturn has impacted investor wealth amid global market uncertainties, including rising oil prices and bond yields. Meanwhile, India's stock market faces its own challenges but may benefit selectively from South Korea's decline, according to analysts who advise cautious investment strategies amid ongoing foreign investor activity.
