Asian chipmakers fall sharply as fears of Fed rate hikes and AI funding costs hit tech stocks

Asian chipmakers, including SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics, saw significant stock declines amid worries over further Federal Reserve interest rate hikes and the high costs of financing AI infrastructure. The sell-off followed a drop in U.S. tech stocks after inflation data raised concerns about rising borrowing costs that could slow capital spending on AI projects. Despite these fears, analysts believe demand for AI computing power remains strong and view the pullback as a potential buying opportunity, emphasizing that funding costs are a concern but not a sign of weakening demand.

SK Hynix's market cap stands at $768.83 billion as of Oct 15, 2026, 08:01 WIB, with a daily trading volume of 21,786,972 shares on Pluang. The stock price is currently $139.33, down 11.29% in one day, reflecting the sharp sell-off amid concerns over Fed rate hikes and AI funding costs. Despite this, the Pluang order activity shows a majority of 63% Buy interest, indicating ongoing investor engagement.
