- Chip stocks suffered what coverage called a 'brutal session' as the AI trade turned, with the selloff spreading from South Korea to Wall Street
- Micron, SK Hynix, SoftBank, and ASML all slid in the deepening rout, which headlines attributed to AI spending fears and rising China-related pressures
Why it matters: Chip stocks are the highest-beta AI capex proxy, and a synchronized slide across Micron, SK Hynix, SoftBank, and ASML — originating in South Korea and reaching Wall Street — means investors are simultaneously repricing AI spending expectations and China-related risks in a single session.
