Global Chip Stocks Decline Amid Rising Competition from Chinese Memory Maker CXMT
Global semiconductor stocks declined amid rising concerns over competition from Chinese memory chipmaker ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT). South Korea's Kospi index fell over 7%, with major chipmakers Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix dropping sharply. US chip stocks, including Nvidia, Micron, and Broadcom, also saw losses following reports of CXMT's progress on new memory architecture and cautious remarks from Broadcom's CEO about AI market risks. Investor anxiety was heightened by fears of slowing growth and intensified foreign selling in Korean equities.
