According to Maeil Business News, South Korea's KOSPI index fell 6.37% to 6,820.60 on July 16 after Morgan Stanley warned that data center project cancellations and delays are expanding due to rising power costs and environmental concerns. The selloff triggered the second sell-side circuit breaker in as many days. Samsung Electronics dropped 8.77% and SK Hynix slid 11.53%, while the latter's U.S. depositary receipts (ADR) plunged 9% overnight as investors rotated out of AI infrastructure plays. Global chip stocks also declined, with Philadelphia Semiconductor Index down 2.1%.
