South Korean market sinks 6% as chip selloff deepens
Original: Chip selloff extends as South Korean stock market sinks 6%
South Korean stocks fell sharply, with the main index dropping about 6% as a global selloff in chipmakers continued. Semiconductor heavyweights, which drive much of the country's export-led economy, led the decline, weighing heavily on the broader market. The rout reflects investor concern over the outlook for the semiconductor sector, and analysts are watching whether the slide in Korean and global tech shares extends further.
Why now: A steep single-day drop in a major market tied to the global chip selloff is drawing widespread attention from investors.
