📋News Brief
The Bank of Korea's sudden base rate hike to 2.75%, coupled with a surging USD/KRW exchange rate, triggered a KOSPI crash, maximizing market volatility and activating a sell sidecar.
A concentrated foreign sell-off in semiconductor stocks like Samsung Electronics widened the index drop, but SK Hynix is stimulating long-term holding sentiment backed by its AI growth potential.
Although this year's economic growth forecast was revised up to 3.0% due to strong exports, the contracted investor sentiment amid high-interest rates continues to weigh on the domestic market.
