South Korean equities crash as AI chip rally collapses amid global inflation fears

South Korea's Kospi index has plummeted 24% in the second half of 2026, reversing its status as the world's top-performing market. The sharp decline is driven by a massive sell-off in technology stocks, particularly memory-chip giants Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, as foreign investors exit the market. The retreat is exacerbated by global inflation concerns, rising oil prices due to Middle East tensions, and a rotation of capital toward broader AI supply chains in Taiwan.

Kospi slips 7% after hot streak, led by Samsung and SK Hynix

South Korea’s Kospi tumbled about 7% after a holiday, ending its run as the world’s top performer for 2026. The retreat was led by heavy losses in Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, with foreign investors net-sellers over the last two sessions (outflows near 7 trillion won at end-February and about 5.4 trillion won on Tuesday). A weaker won, rising crude prices, and risk-off sentiment weighed on sentiment, though the index remains up around 37% year-to-date and 128% over the past year, with regulators briefly suspending program trading during the session.

China's AI Chip Market Booms Amid Foreign Investment Challenges

China's booming AI-related IPOs like MetaX and Moore Threads have delivered significant gains, but foreign retail investors face substantial barriers to participation due to account opening restrictions, limited access through schemes like Stock Connect, and the need for institutional approval via programs like QFII, making direct investment in these blockbuster listings largely inaccessible to individual overseas investors.

US Tax Policies Spark Market Jitters and Foreign Revenue Concerns

The proposed Section 899 in Trump's tax bill aims to penalize foreign countries with digital taxes, but it could also increase interest costs for US borrowers by requiring them to gross up payments to cover higher withholding taxes, potentially affecting syndicated loans and foreign lending to US companies. The measure faces political hurdles and has raised concerns among Wall Street analysts about its impact on foreign investment and borrowing costs.

The resignation comes amid a wider anti-bribery campaign and recent leadership changes, raising concerns about political stability and its impact on foreign investment in the country.

"European Markets Slip Ahead of ECB Rate Decision"

European markets opened lackluster ahead of the European Central Bank's rate decision, with expectations of a hold at the record 4%. UK house prices rose for the fifth consecutive month, indicating a return of cautious confidence in the real estate market. Foreign investors eye India's growth potential, but face barriers such as limits on foreign ownership and complex tax implications. Analysts favor value stocks amid expensive growth stocks, with a shift to more value-oriented names anticipated. European markets are expected to open flat to lower, with the ECB's monetary policy announcement and earnings reports from Continental, Lufthansa, ITV, Admiral Group, and Kier on the agenda.

"Nikkei Stock Average Hits All-Time High, Surpassing 1989 Peak"

Japan's Nikkei 225 stock index reached a record high, surpassing its 1989 peak, as stocks in Japan have been steadily rebounding for over a decade and surged sharply in the past year. The stock surge is attributed to a weak yen benefiting exporters, changes in the corporate sector giving shareholders more rights, rising inflation signaling positive economic direction, and foreign investors pumping a net $14 billion into the market in January. Strong corporate profits and earnings at large Japanese companies, such as Toyota and SoftBank, have also contributed to the market's rise.
