Kospi tumbles 6% as Asian markets brace for TSMC's earnings test

Asian stocks dropped after a renewed sell-off in chipmakers ahead of TSMC’s quarterly results, highlighting concerns about “sky-high expectations.” South Korea led the declines, with the Kospi down ~6.4% as SK Hynix slid ~11% and Samsung Electronics fell more than 8%. The move is consistent with broader sector risk rather than company-specific idiosyncrasy.
