The Korea Composite Stock Price Index ended two consecutive trading days of rise on the 12th and turned down after a lapse of three trading days. On the same day, the KOSPI index fell 32.63 points, or 0.61%, from the previous trading day to close at 5342.73 points. The index opened up 10.58 points, or 0.20%, to 5385.94 points, then repeatedly switched between rising and falling. At one point in the intraday period, it rose 1.55% to hit 5458.84 points. However, since then, the index has continued to fluctuate repeatedly around the closing point of the previous trading day. At one point, it fell 1.53% to 5293.05 points. Nvidia, which previously continued to weaken due to CEO Hwang In-hoon's involvement in an extramarital affair scandal, rose 2.87%, driven by bargain buying. However, the report said that Nvidia's board of directors has begun preparations to dismiss Huang Renxun as CEO, causing the company's stock price to drop by more than 8% in after-hours trading. The South Korean stock market was originally expected to open higher on the same day, driven by factors such as the strengthening of US semiconductor stocks, but news such as Hwang In-hoon facing a dismissal crisis seemed to have affected investor sentiment. In an interview, iM Securities researcher Lee Sang-heon said, “Due to uncertainty related to Nvidia's revolving financing, the Korean stock market fell along with the Taiwanese stock market, which is mainly semiconductor stocks.”
