  "summary": "The Korea Exchange (KRX) has activated a sell-side sidecar for the benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) following a sharp fall in the index. Program trading for KOSPI-listed shares was suspended for five minutes at 9:08 a.m., with the KOSPI falling 5.05 percent to 5,705.42 points by 9:11 a.m. The sell-side sidecar is triggered when the KOSPI 200 Futures Index drops 5 percent or more for at least one minute. Investors sold off semiconductor shares, including Samsung Electronics and SK hynix, amid persisting skepticism over artificial intelligence (AI)-trade and renewed concerns over the pace of inflation in the United States.",
