South Korea’s KOSPI fell more than 8%, dropping below 7,700 and triggering sell-side short-selling on both the KOSPI and KOSDAQ markets. More than ₩518.5 trillion ($350 billion) in market value was erased as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix declined 8.5% and 11.5%, respectively, following an overnight selloff in U.S. semiconductor stocks. Higher-than-expected June inflation of 3.2% also weighed on sentiment. Investors will watch for further policy responses and whether volatility eases in upcoming trading sessions.
