KOSPI swings wildly day to day, drawing foreign focus as \'crypto-level\' volatility

South Korea’s benchmark KOSPI seesawed over two days, falling 8.29 percent and then rebounding 8.18 percent, a swing of about 17 percent. CryptoSlate called the moves comparable to the volatility seen in cryptocurrencies. The surge in the index has been led by a handful of large chipmakers, while a strong U.S. jobs report, weaker AI outlook from Broadcom and high leverage among retail investors intensified selling pressure. Investors are watching the next Federal Reserve meeting and inflation data.
