  "summary": "The Korea Exchange (KRX) has activated a sell-side sidecar for the KOSPI index amid a sharp decline in the benchmark stock price. The KOSPI index, which fell 4.03 percent to 6,127.15, saw program trading suspended for five minutes at 9:48 a.m. The sell-side sidecar is activated when the KOSPI 200 Futures Index falls by 5 percent or more for at least one minute. Investors sold off semiconductor shares, including Samsung Electronics and SK hynix, amid losses in U.S. technology stocks and uncertainty ahead of major companies' earnings reports and the release of U.S. inflation data.",
