South Korea’s Kospi slide wipes out $2.5 trillion amid investor losses

The retreat erased about $2.5 trillion in market value, undermining bets tied to the AI boom.

The Wall Street Journal Markets reports that South Korea’s Kospi has shifted from a rapid rise narrative to a sharp, prolonged downturn described as a slow-motion collapse.

The decline has already erased roughly $2.5 trillion in value, a move that WSJ says has left investors who positioned for an AI boom facing major losses.
