코스피·코스닥 동반 매도 사이드카…미국 인플레·AI 수익 우려로
The combined decline of the KOSPI and KOSDAQ indices sent shockwaves across Seoul's financial markets on the 15th. As US stock markets witnessed a massive sell-off in technology stocks, South Korea's leading tech firms, Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, followed suit, plummeting 8.41% and 10.39% respectively, to 21,250,000 KRW and 127,150,000 KRW.
The broader KOSDAQ index plunged 7.11% to 765.27, triggering a rare double-digit sidecar selling order for the first time since July 29th. The selloff was driven by concerns over inflation, rising energy costs, and the sustainability of AI investments. Despite Antropic's strong earnings report, market sentiment remained wary of the massive infrastructure investments required for AI technologies.
