[Featured Stock] Samsung Electronics Falls Amid Weakness in US Semiconductor Stocks

Samsung Electronics is declining as the market opens. This is interpreted as investor sentiment weakening following a broad sell-off in U.S. semiconductor stocks.

At 9:26 a.m., Samsung Electronics is trading at 57,900 KRW, down 2.03% (1,200 KRW) from the previous day.

Overnight in the U.S. stock market, semiconductor-related stocks all plunged. Nvidia closed down 2.81% compared to the previous trading day on the 23rd (local time). Broadcom fell 3.27%, ASML dropped 1.70%, and AMD declined 0.77%.

This was due to a sharp rise in the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield during the session, increasing by 5.4 basis points (1 bp = 0.01%) to 4.26%, which dampened investor appetite for risk assets.
