  "account": "Seoul stocks started down sharply on Tuesday, plummeting as investors dumped major tech companies following comments from artificial intelligence (AI) leaders advocating for a slowdown in the AI industry. The Korea Composite Stocks Price Index (KOSPI) fell 25.12 points, or 0.38 percent, to 6,659.25. Overnight, American stocks continued to slide on a decline in tech shares, as market participants reacted to remarks from AI executives urging a more cautious approach to AI development to mitigate potential risks. The S&P 500 dipped 0.48 percent, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq experienced a 0.56 percent decrease. The surge in U.S. bond yields also contributed to a more cautious investor sentiment, with the return on a benchmark 10-year Treasury reaching a critical level of 5 percent, a mark not seen since October 2023. The aftermarket, which commenced trading on Monday, saw trading volume of 1.87 trillion won ($1.39 billion), representing about 8.03 percent of the overall trade volume during official market hours, according to the Korea Exchange.",
