Article Summary

SELL
  • Samsung (NASDAQ: SAMO) and SK Hynix (NYSE: SKH) fell sharply on Monday as South Korea's Kospi dropped 4.3% and 4.4%, respectively, extending a sharp selloff ahead of major U.S. tech earnings this week, with Intel kicking off on Wednesday.
  • Citigroup downgraded the South Korean market to neutral, citing extreme volatility in chip stocks and reduced exposure to AI-themed trades, though it remains long-term bullish on AI but more cautious on Korea in the near term.
  • The Direxion Daily South Korea Bull 3X Shares (KORU), a three-times leveraged ETF tracking South Korean largest stocks, was down 2%, while Micron and SanDisk held in the green, rebounding after a dismal weekly performance.
  • Investors have been rotating out of semiconductor and AI infrastructure names and back into large-cap technology and software stocks, marking a shift after months of chip-led gains.
