KOSPI falls as Samsung and SK Hynix stock rallies weaken

Samsung Electronics' share price fell by 3.5%, while SK Hynix's share price was down 4.2%. Affected by Broadcom's revenue guidance missing expectations, some artificial intelligence and chip-related stocks weakened in the after-hours US market. Despite this, the Korea Composite Index has still risen by 105% year-to-date. The small-cap Kosdaq Index surged as much as 3.4% during intraday trading. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index dropped as much as 1.1%.
