Intel Shares Plunge 5% as KOSPI Slumps 6% and Geopolitical Strains Grow
Intel shares plunged 5% Friday following a broad semiconductor selloff led by a 6% KOSPI decline driven by an 8.6% drop in Samsung and 7.7% slide in SK Hynix. Geopolitical strains from stalled U.S.-Iran talks added to market uncertainty.
1. Market Selloff
Global semiconductor stocks fell sharply after South Korea’s KOSPI index sank more than 6%, led by an 8.6% tumble in Samsung and a 7.7% drop in SK Hynix, dragging down peers worldwide.
2. Intel Performance
Intel shares dropped 5% on the session, underperforming Nvidia’s 2.3% decline and Broadcom’s 2.8% loss, as broader market pressures weighed on chipmakers.
3. Geopolitical Uncertainty
Stalled U.S.-Iran negotiations and concerns over the Strait of Hormuz shipping lane added to investor risk aversion in the semiconductor sector.
