KOSPI Turns Lower Near 8,000 as AI Dividend News, Micron Weakness Hit Sentiment

The KOSPI turned lower after six trading days as it approached the 8,000 level, showing sharp intraday volatility. The rapidly rising market fell as much as 5% during the session after news related to an AI public dividend, while after-hours weakness in major names such as Micron also weighed on investor sentiment. The move showed how sensitive the index had become to short-term overheating and external factors after its recent climb. Investors are watching how related news and U.S. technology stock moves may affect the index ahead. Source: mk.co.kr
