South Korea’s Kospi tumbles 6% as SK Hynix slide, AI spending worries trigger chip selloff

This selloff reflects investor concerns over high valuations for artificial intelligence-linked stocks. Other Asian markets also experienced declines, particularly in the semiconductor sector. Wall Street’s Nasdaq saw a slight dip as AI stocks remained under pressure.
