South Korean equities were hit by a second trading suspension this week, with the Kospi falling as much as 9% after the Korea Exchange imposed a 20-minute halt. The decline was led by chipmakers as global AI sentiment turned sharply weaker, underscoring high market sensitivity to the AI trade. The move signals broad risk-off pressure in South Korea's technology-heavy market.
