KRX Activates KOSPI Circuit Breaker After Tech Sell-Off
2026-07-28 01:22:05
According to Yonhap, South Korea's Korea Exchange (KRX) activated a marketwide circuit breaker for the benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) on Tuesday after a sharp sell-off in tech shares. Trading of KOSPI-listed shares was halted for 20 minutes after the index fell more than 8% from the previous session's close at around 10:14 a.m. The benchmark came under heavy pressure as investors dumped semiconductor stocks over skepticism about major tech companies' heavy spending on artificial intelligence (AI). It was the seventh time this year that the KRX has triggered a circuit breaker.
