AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

AI Market Shock: South Korea’s KOSPI plunged more than 8% on Friday, briefly falling below 5,000 and triggering a 20-minute trading halt. Samsung Electronics and SK hynix sank as investors feared US data-center restrictions could slow AI spending. Finance Minister Lee Hyoung-il said authorities are ready to take further steps to calm markets. AI and Chips: Seoul plans to nearly double AI spending to about US$16 billion, while SK hynix is preparing a US AI investment arm worth up to US$10 billion. Analysts say political pressure may slow, but is unlikely to stop, data-center construction. Research Frontiers: Korean researchers have built an all-solid-state battery prototype with an energy density of 235.13 watt-hours per liter, while the new Hangang supercomputer is set to support work in areas including AI and advanced research.
