KOSPI Falls After Six Sessions Near 8,000 as AI Dividend News and Micron Weakness Hit Sentiment

The KOSPI shifted lower after six trading sessions just as it approached the 8,000 mark, showing sharp intraday volatility. According to the original report, the rapidly rising market was shaken after news related to an “AI public dividend” emerged, with the index plunging as much as 5% during the session. Weakness in after-hours trading by Micron and other major names was also cited as a drag on investor sentiment. After a steep recent advance, the market appeared sensitive to profit-taking and external variables near the symbolic 8,000 level. Investors are now focused on whether the drop remains a temporary shock or leads to further correction. Source: mk.co.kr
