KOSPI Breaks Below 6,900; Samsung, SK Hynix Plunge Over 4%

South Korea's KOSPI fell below 6,900, with Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix plunging over 4% amid surging US Treasury yields and valuation concerns for chip stocks. As a heavyweight in the KOSPI, SK Hynix's decline weighed on the index and could trigger further foreign outflows, pressuring the stock in the short term. However, if AI memory demand remains intact, the medium- to long-term impact may be limited.
