AI杠杆押注担忧加剧，韩股大跌5%

Odaily Planet Daily reports that South Korea's KOSPI index fell by 5%, with investors liquidating positions related to artificial intelligence. The index is extending its four-week losing streak, having dropped 28% from its all-time high on June 22. This sell-off underscores growing investor anxiety over the market's increasing reliance on leveraged bets on AI chip manufacturers. South Korea, which has been a key barometer of the AI boom's enthusiasm, is now feeling the downward pressure as market sentiment turns negative.

"Although South Korea remains a preferred market in our allocation model, given the ongoing market volatility, we have downgraded its rating from overweight to neutral," said Citigroup analysts. They maintained their target of 10,000 points for the KOSPI index. (Jinshi)
