Samsung, SK Hynix Plunge Over 4% on Middle East, Rate Woes

Shares of Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix plunged more than 4% at the open, with SK Hynix down as much as 5%, as Middle East geopolitical risks and unclear rate prospects weighed on sentiment; the KOSPI fell 3%. The oil shock and AI slowdown fears hit memory leaders. Short-term moves will be driven by macro sentiment, and a pullback could offer entry if risks ease, though demand uncertainty still caps mid-term valuations.
