Điều gì đã xảy ra
South Korea's KOSPI index suffered another sharp decline, driven by a sell-off in semiconductor stocks and escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East that pushed oil prices near $100 per barrel. The drop adds to recent volatility in Asian markets, with tech-heavy indices under pressure from global factors.

Chip stocks led the downturn, reflecting broader concerns in the semiconductor sector. Analysts at Citrini noted that the sell-off could be one of the factors behind the KOSPI's correction, while Morgan Stanley turned bearish on memory stocks, further weighing on sentiment.
Meanwhile, Middle East tensions kept oil prices elevated near $100, stoking fears of sustained inflation and tighter monetary policy. The combination of tech weakness and geopolitical risk dampened risk appetite, leading to broad-based selling.
In the U.S., the "Magnificent Seven" tech stocks lost nearly $800 billion in market cap in a single day, as earnings from Alphabet and Tesla raised worries about AI spending. This global tech rout spilled over into Korean markets, amplifying the KOSPI's decline.

For intraday traders, the heightened volatility and negative sentiment suggest caution, with potential for further downside if oil prices continue to rise or chip stocks face additional headwinds. However, some analysts see opportunities in oversold conditions, particularly if geopolitical tensions ease.
