Following the Democratic landslide in the US midterm elections, growing concerns over tightened regulations on artificial intelligence (AI) data centers caused the KOSPI to plummet by 324.11 points (6.02%) to close at 5,059.69 on the 6th compared to the previous trading day. During the session, it plunged by as much as 8.78%, triggering a circuit breaker that suspended trading for 20 minutes. However, as the sell-off in AI and semiconductor-related stocks subsided in the US market on the 6th local time, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index managed a rebound, raising attention on whether the domestic market can shake off the shock. This week, the market is expected to look for direction based on global events such as the release of US inflation indicators, CoreWeave's earnings, and Anthropic's planned NASDAQ listing. Meanwhile, the won-dollar exchange rate in the Seoul foreign exchange market recorded 1,341.10 won.
