Seoul’s AI-driven rally cools as stocks plunge and regulators tighten

South Korea’s stock market extended a two-day rout, wiping about $2.18 trillion in value as investors reassess AI-driven gains and pivot away from highly leveraged chipmakers; the KOSPI tumbled as much as 12.6% before closing down 6%, marking the steepest monthly drop on record and erasing roughly 40% from a peak reached a month earlier. Regulators and the finance ministry pledged tighter controls on single‑stock leveraged ETFs, potential higher trading costs, and investment limits aimed at stabilising markets amid panic, with emergency stabilization steps under consideration. Despite the sell-off, the KOSPI is up about 41.5% in USD terms year-to-date, making it one of the best performers globally this year.

South Korea's Short Selling Ban: Impact on Stock Markets and Foreign Investment Prospects

South Korea has announced a ban on short selling until 2024, as part of efforts to stabilize the market and protect investors. The ban comes amid concerns over market volatility and potential manipulation. Short selling involves borrowing shares and selling them in the hope of buying them back at a lower price, profiting from the difference. The ban is expected to provide a temporary relief to the market and allow regulators to implement stricter regulations.

Tesla recalls 1.1 million cars in China over safety concerns.

Tesla will recall over 1.1 million cars in China due to potential safety risks related to the accelerator pedal. The recall includes imported Model S, Model X, Model 3, and China-made Model 3 and Model 6. The company plans to make adjustments or add notification features to the recalled vehicles to reduce the risk. China is a major sales and manufacturing center for Tesla, and it's unclear whether vehicles from its Shanghai factory sold outside mainland China will be subject to the same recall.
