South Korea's KOSPI soars on AI chip demand but risks global market shock from instability.

South Korea's KOSPI index has surged due to strong AI-driven demand for memory chips, led by Samsung and SK hynix. However, the market shows signs of instability with record leverage, high concentration in a few stocks, and new retail products causing frequent trading halts and sharp sell-offs. A disorderly correction in Korean equities could trigger global risk aversion, disrupt AI supply chains, and pressure U.S. tech stocks and broader markets. Diversification away from AI-related assets is now critical to mitigate potential spillover effects that could even contribute to a U.S. recession through wealth and sentiment channels.
