South Korea’s KOSPI index fell 3% to 6,427.08 points as major chip stocks also declined.

SK hynix fell more than 4%, and Samsung Electronics declined nearly 4%. Samsung Electronics and SK hynix both declined during the retreat.

The decline adds to a broader risk signal for global and crypto markets.

The KOSPI’s latest move follows an earlier decline of 1%, showing that losses widened during the session.
