On June 11, CSOP 2x Leveraged Samsung Electronics declined 5.15% in regular trading, trading at HKD 140.35, with trading volume of HKD 1.108 billion. The decline reflects the ongoing rout in Korean semiconductor stocks, as Samsung Electronics fell 4% and SK Hynix dropped over 3% on the same day.
The sell-off marks a continuation of the sharp correction that began on June 8, when Samsung Electronics plunged over 10% and SK Hynix fell more than 7%, triggering circuit breakers on the Korean exchange. The downturn was initially sparked by Broadcom's AI semiconductor revenue guidance for the next quarter coming in below market expectations, which was described as pouring cold water on the sector. Foreign investors have net sold over USD 10 billion worth of KOSPI constituents in the preceding week.
Analysts note this correction follows an extraordinary rally, with Korean equities nearly doubling in the first half of the year. Independent analyst Zhang Zhuran commented that the adjustment is linked to both a global semiconductor stock correction phase and profit-taking after the prior surge. Some analysts maintain this represents a normal correction after excessive gains rather than the end of the technology bull market.
