Asian markets show tentative signs of recovery as investors in Seoul cautiously return to stocks after a sharp sell-off. The KOSPI declines sharply on Tuesday, with the index dropping about 10%, according to reports from multiple outlets. Losses are particularly concentrated in large technology and semiconductor-linked companies. SK Hynix and Samsung are highlighted as major drivers of the decline, with both firms reportedly falling by roughly 12% during the rout. Following the steep drop, trading activity indicates investors are “picking up the pieces” and returning to the market, though the tone is cautious rather than fully confident. The rebound described in Seoul reflects attempts to stabilize positions after the rapid fall, as investors weigh the market’s sharp move and reassess exposures to the chip sector. Overall, the coverage aligns on the scale of Tuesday’s KOSPI slump, the central role of chip-related stocks in driving the drop, and the subsequent early signs of stabilization as buyers come back to the market.
