SpainThe volatile performance of South Korea's stock market has raised concerns about a potential bubble in the artificial intelligence (AI) sector. On July 27, the Kospi index fell by 13%, and further losses followed despite emergency measures to curb speculation. However, on July 31, the index rebounded sharply by 17.9%, driven by strong results from semiconductor manufacturers like Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix after Microsoft's better-than-expected earnings eased fears about AI spending. Analysts argue this rebound does not eliminate underlying risks but highlights the extreme volatility in technology markets. The South Korean market is seen as a warning sign for global financial markets, reflecting factors such as overconcentration in a few stocks, speculative products, leverage, and lack of regulation. The recent turmoil underscores growing nervousness around AI and the broader digital sector.
