The Korea Exchange (KRX) has activated a sell-side sidecar for the KOSPI index following a sharp decline in its value. The benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) plunged, opening 2.99 percent lower and falling 4.68 percent to 5,661.7 points within the first few minutes of trading on Friday. The sell-side sidecar mechanism was triggered due to the index losing 5 percent or more for at least one minute, in this case, falling by 277.75 points.
The downward pressure on the KOSPI can be attributed to overnight losses on Wall Street, as renewed concerns over the sustainability of the AI boom cast a shadow over investor sentiment.
