In the U.S. New York stock market, Nvidia experienced a sharp decline of over 8%, leading to a simultaneous weakness in semiconductor stocks including SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics in the domestic market during the early trading hours on the 28th.
As of 9:32 a.m. on the same day, SK Hynix's stock price was trading at 191,300 KRW, down 3.97% from the previous close. At the same time, Samsung Electronics was moving around 55,300 KRW, down 1.78%.
This is analyzed as a ripple effect from Nvidia, the AI leader, closing down 8.48% compared to the previous session in the New York stock market on the 27th (local time). Despite Nvidia previously releasing quarterly results that exceeded market expectations, concerns over slowing growth resurfaced, causing the sharp drop.
In particular, U.S. President Donald Trump’s reaffirmation of his intention to impose tariffs on China and others also worsened market sentiment. Broadcom fell 7.11%, ASML dropped 6.59%, highlighting a general weakness in semiconductor-related stocks, and the Nasdaq index, which is tech-stock focused, fell 2.78%.
