The KOSPI has dropped more than 2% in early trading as foreign investors sell off assets. This downturn follows a first half of the year where the KOSPI soared 69%, though coverage indicates the majority of individual investors did not see similar gains.
Reports from Chosunbiz, bloomingbit, and Seoul Economic Daily emphasize that fears of a growth peak in the semiconductor sector are outweighing strong earnings. Seoul Economic Daily further notes that 'money-move' policies inflated stocks, disrupting the balance between rates, currency, and capital.
Market focus remains on foreign selling trends and whether growth-peak fears will continue to trigger exits from Korean chip stocks.
