KOSPI Opens Lower; SK hynix Falls Over 2%

Korean equities opened lower, with KOSPI down about 0.7% near 6,578, Samsung Electronics off 0.76%, SK hynix down 2.14%, and KOSDAQ also slipping. The broad opening decline reflects weak overnight US chip stocks and continued foreign outflows, pressuring SK hynix shares in the short term, though the long-term impact is limited if semiconductor fundamentals and earnings expectations hold.
