Han Ji-young, a researcher at Kiwoom Securities, said, “Domestic large semiconductor stocks’ investment sentiment cooled due to rumors such as order cuts for servers and depreciation of server lifespan by global large tech companies including those in the U.S., but the fact that major U.S. semiconductor stocks showed simultaneous strength will help soothe anxiety.” She added, “Given the growing perception of a peak in the won-dollar exchange rate, attention should also be paid to the intraday supply and demand changes of foreigners, whose recent selling pressure has been weakening.”
