- SK Hynix shares plunged 10% as Fed rate-hike fears and AI funding concerns ignited an Asia-wide tech rout (CNBC headline).
- South Korea's stock market fell about 8% with investors rushing to unwind AI-exposed positions (Bloomberg headline), while the Financial Times framed the session as a broadening global AI sell-off across Asia.
Why it matters: A 10% single-day drop in SK Hynix — a heavyweight in Korea's export-driven index — directly maps to the roughly 8% slide in Korean equities, making this one of the sharpest AI-stock reversals tying U.S. Fed policy anxiety to Asian semiconductor valuations in a single session.
