ChainCatcher reports, according to Rootdata market data, South Korea KOSPI Composite intraday: 5933.62 points, today's open: 5763.85 points, up 2.9%.

According to Gate data, the South Korean KOSPI index opened up 116.95 points, an increase of 2.07%, reporting at 5755.29 points. Samsung Electronics rose by 2.9%, and SK Hynix rose by 2%.

Goldman Sachs' latest research shows that over the past three weeks, semiconductor stock exposure has been able to explain about 54% of the return performance differences between different asset classes, while oil price exposure accounts for only 2%. As the influence of AI trading continues to expand, technology stocks are becoming an important factor driving global market risk appetite and asset performance differentiation.Goldman Sachs pointed out that recent investor risk appetite has been highly synchronized with the relative performance of large technology stocks. Last week, concerns about AI investment returns, financing costs, and capital expenditures intensified, leading to a sell-off in technology stocks and corporate bonds, with Goldman Sachs' risk appetite indicator falling to its lowest level since April 2025. The South Korean stock market has become a typical case of this impact, with the KOSPI rising 3.1% on Tuesday, and SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics increasing by 5.2% and 4.2%, respectively.Due to the high weight of semiconductor stocks in the Korea Composite Stock Price Index, changes in global AI investment expectations directly affect local market performance. Goldman Sachs emphasized that the 54% and 2% figures reflect a statistical relationship within a specific time window and do not imply that AI factors long-term determine global market fluctuations; the impact of high oil prices on inflation, monetary policy, and asset pricing cannot be ignored. Major technology companies such as Microsoft, Google, and Amazon are about to announce their earnings reports, and the market will focus on whether AI demand can continue to grow and whether massive capital expenditures can be converted into actual profits.

According to Gate data, the South Korean KOSPI index closed up 168.88 points on October 27 (Tuesday), an increase of 3.09%, at 5638.35 points, with SK Hynix rising about 5% and Samsung Electronics rising about 4%.The Nikkei 225 index closed up 1078.72 points on October 27 (Tuesday), an increase of 1.73%, at 63268.37 points, with chip-related stocks leading the gains.

ChainCatcher reports, according to Rootdata market data, South Korea KOSPI Composite at the open: 5658.65 points, previous close: 5469.47 points, up 3.5%.

According to Bloomberg data, the expected price-to-earnings ratio of South Korea's KOSPI index for the next 12 months has fallen to 4.2 times, becoming the first trillion-dollar market on record to drop below the 5 times threshold. Among the 18 markets with a market capitalization exceeding 1 trillion dollars at the beginning of this year, this situation has never occurred with a benchmark index before.The cooling of the AI boom has triggered a sell-off in technology stocks, putting pressure on the South Korean stock market. Although South Korea's exports are approaching 1 trillion dollars, the demand for chips from SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics remains strong, but investors are still unwilling to pay higher valuations for the earnings of related companies. The valuation of the South Korean stock market is now close to that of the Indonesian market, which is facing the risk of an MSCI downgrade, with the discount level further widening. Bloomberg comments that extremely low valuations may create space for future valuation recovery. If sentiment turns, South Korean stocks are expected to outperform other markets in the short term, but it is uncertain when the recovery will start and whether there will be further declines; a low price-to-earnings ratio itself does not mean that it has already hit bottom.

According to Gate market data, the South Korean KOSPI index has expanded its intraday decline to 4%, currently reported at 5503.73 points, with SK Hynix down over 6% and Samsung Electronics down over 4%.

According to data from the Gate platform, the South Korean KOSPI index rose by about 3.83% in the early morning session today, quickly breaking through 5,750 points after the opening.

The main reasons for this round of increase are the capital replenishment after the sharp decline the day before and the positive driver of a 222.5% year-on-year increase in semiconductor exports in South Korea before October 20, with the market's expectations for AI server and storage demand rising again.

According to Gate market data, the South Korean KOSPI index surged 4.00% during the day, currently reported at 5775.10 points. Samsung Electronics rose by 6.8%, and SK Hynix increased by over 7%.

According to foreign media reports, the Korea Composite Stock Price Index KOSPI fell sharply again after rebounding for two consecutive days, with a drop of up to 4.76% during trading on October 20, and it fell below 5500 points. The decline was attributed to rising U.S. Treasury yields and the weak performance of a data center company's first day of trading. Foreign investors reduced their holdings of Korean stocks, and institutional investors, including pension funds, also joined in selling.As of the time of writing, foreign investors had net sold 636.7 billion Korean won in the Korean securities market, while institutional investors net sold 467 billion Korean won, including financial investment institutions net selling 241.8 billion Korean won and pension funds net selling 159 billion Korean won. Individual investors net bought 838.8 billion Korean won, and other legal entities net bought 261.6 billion Korean won. Eugene Investment & Securities analyst Huh Jae-Hwan stated that this round of selling exhibited indiscriminate characteristics, with almost all stocks declining, and the market appeared very weak, with battery manufacturers that had led the rebound on Monday also experiencing a pullback.

According to Bloomberg, Asian semiconductor stocks continued to weaken on Monday. The Bloomberg Asia Chip Index fell more than 2%, reaching its lowest level since July, with TSMC, SK Hynix, and Advantest being the main drags. The Korea Composite Stock Price Index recorded its largest weekly decline since October 2008 last week, dropping more than 3% at one point on Monday before recovering some ground; the Nikkei 225 index fell 2.3% at one point, and the Taiwan Weighted Index dropped 2%.Market concerns stem from two aspects. First, the pressure on financing for AI infrastructure in the United States continues to ferment, with CoreWeave's financing capabilities being questioned and the IPO expectations for Anthropic and Nscale cooling. Second, Chinese AI company DeepSeek released a new model update over the weekend, claiming faster operation speeds and lower resource consumption, raising concerns about the potential decrease in storage capacity required for AI models and the possible impact on chip demand.Kang DaeKwun, CEO of Life Asset Management, stated that the market uncertainty is too high, making it difficult to determine when the Korean stock market will bottom out. Financing for U.S. corporate AI projects is one of the main risks, and the profitability of Korean chip companies still heavily relies on continuous investment in AI infrastructure by U.S. companies. This week, the earnings reports from tech giants like Meta and Tesla will be an important window to observe the growth momentum of AI capital expenditures.
