According to a Bloomberg.com report, South Korea's Kospi equity benchmark rebounded sharply in the afternoon, recovering from an initial 6.2% decline. This turnaround was largely fueled by retail investors, who capitalized on the sell-off to increase their market positions.
The initial drop was attributed to valuation concerns, particularly within the technology sector. Chipmakers Samsung Electronics Co. and SK Hynix Inc., which had previously driven the index's gains, were significantly affected. However, these companies also pared most of their losses during the afternoon recovery, mirroring a broader regional market trend.
