On September 11, CSOP Samsung Electronics Daily (2x) Leveraged Product declined 7% in regular trading, trading at HK$71.26, with turnover of HK$11.56 million. The drop was driven by a broad sell-off in Korean equities and a setback in Samsung's foundry business.
On the macro front, overnight declines across the three major US stock indices transmitted risk-off sentiment to Asia-Pacific markets. The Korean KOSPI index opened down 3.29%, with Samsung Electronics falling 3.72% and SK Hynix dropping 4.37% on the Korean exchange. As a 2x daily leveraged product, Samsung Electronics' approximate 4% decline in Korea was amplified to roughly 7% in the Hong Kong-listed instrument.
On the corporate front, Samsung Electronics' foundry division and Qualcomm have reportedly hit an impasse in negotiations over a 2nm application processor manufacturing contract due to disagreements on per-unit production pricing. The delay casts uncertainty over in-year mass production prospects, with the contract potentially being pushed back to next year. This adds to concerns about Samsung's ability to close the gap with rival TSMC in advanced-node foundry services.
