Korea's benchmark just posted its worst single-day loss in years — and the flow data tells the real story.
The KOSPI fell 8.95% to 6,806.93, back under 7,000 for the first time since early May and more than 20% below its June 22 peak. SK Hynix dropped a record 15.37% and Samsung Electronics 10.70% as semiconductor-peak fears deepened and a spent ADR catalyst met a downgraded earnings outlook. Foreign and institutional investors sold a combined 3.9 trillion won (about $2.6 billion), while Korea's top four chip stocks lost roughly $1 trillion in market value over three weeks. Analysts frame the move as a leverage-driven positioning unwind rather than broken fundamentals, with late-July earnings and Big Tech AI capex calls as the next catalysts.
