KOSPI Plunges 10%, Revealing Side Effects of Concentration in Semiconductor and AI Investments
The KOSPI index experienced a nearly 10% drop in a single day on June 23, 2026, attributed not to clear external factors but to amplified supply and demand instability as funds concentrated in semiconductors and AI recently began to falter. Analysts suggest that increased profit-taking desires, following a significant market rally, combined with a reversal of buying pressure in large-cap semiconductor stocks, exacerbated the shock. Foreign selling, coupled with selling pressure in both spot and futures markets, and the volatility amplified by single-stock leveraged ETFs and inverse products, contributed to the sharp decline.
