Alphabet Earnings Shock Sinks Samsung, SK Hynix

A selloff in US tech stocks following disappointing earnings from Alphabet, Intel and Amazon dragged Korean markets lower, with KOSPI down about 3%, SK Hynix falling 6-7% intraday and Samsung Electronics off roughly 3%. Fears that cooling AI capex expectations could soften memory demand weigh on sentiment, though the tight HBM supply-demand thesis remains intact.
