US Chip Stocks Drop 4%, Samsung and SK Hynix Sentiment Under Pressure

On the 15th local time, US equities fell sharply as Treasury yields jumped and concerns from the Middle East spread, putting Korea’s stock market on alert. According to the original report, US semiconductor stocks dropped 4%, while investment sentiment toward AI-related names, including chipmakers, weakened. Higher interest rates added valuation pressure on growth stocks, and geopolitical risk reduced appetite for risk assets. Investors are watching whether Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, Korea’s major semiconductor stocks, will face pressure in the next session. Source: mk.co.kr
