Movement Alert|Southern 2x Leveraged SK Hynix Falls 15.96% in Regular Trading, Korean Chip Giants Trigger Market Circuit Breaker

Market Focus06-05

On June 5, Southern 2x Leveraged SK Hynix (07709) declined 15.96% in regular trading, trading at 112.65 HKD/share, with trading volume of 952 million HKD.

The sharp decline was driven by a broad selloff in Korean semiconductor stocks. SK Hynix plunged approximately 8.7-10% while Samsung Electronics dropped over 7%, dragging the Korean KOSPI index down more than 6% and triggering a circuit breaker that halted programmatic selling for five minutes. As a 2x leveraged product, the ETF amplified the underlying stock's losses.

The selloff was catalyzed by Broadcom's after-hours results, where the company's AI chip revenue forecast of $16 billion for Q3 fell short of analysts' average estimate of $17.2 billion, prompting investors to reassess AI infrastructure investment expectations. Broadcom shares fell over 12% overnight, while the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index dropped over 2%.

Market concerns were further compounded by elevated leveraged positioning in Korean equities, with analysts warning that the proliferation of leveraged ETFs could amplify any correction in the AI-concentrated rally that has driven KOSPI up over 100% year-to-date.
