South Korean stocks fell more than 3% on Tuesday as heavy tech sell-offs continued over concerns about massive AI infrastructure spending. The Korea Composite Stock Price Index closed down 3.59% at 5,648.79, with foreigners and institutions net sellers.
Overnight, US chip stocks fell sharply, with the PHLX chip index down 3.4% after a 7.2% plunge Friday.
Equity risk-off in Korea and US chips is a macro sentiment signal rather than a direct feed-commodity driver, though it can weigh on the won and dollar-linked flows. Impact on feed prices is minimal.
