AI Summary
The KOSPI plunged 360.42 points (5.98%) to 5,663.24 on the 29th, triggering a Level 1 circuit breaker for a second consecutive session for the first time in Korean market history, as SK hynix earnings disappointment ignited retail panic selling; the KOSDAQ fell 6.12% to 662.68. Institutional bargain-hunting in the afternoon cut an intraday drop of nearly 12% roughly in half, but the concentration of index weight in a single AI-memory leader exposes Korean equities to outsized single-stock beta and potential foreign outflow pressure on USD/KRW. Watch whether institutional buying persists and whether SK hynix guidance stabilizes, as continued forced selling could spill into global semiconductor sentiment and NASDAQ chip names.
As a Market signal, watch whether it changes price action, volatility, or flows around KOSPI, 000660, KRW=X.

Ram Ahluwalia notes Micron shares jumped 18% in premarket trading after a blowout earnings report showing a 700% revenue surge driven by Nvidia-led DRAM demand, lifting the Nasdaq 2%.
