Sidecars triggered as selling intensifies
The Korea Exchange triggered a sell-side sidecar shortly after the open — the 22nd such halt this year. A similar mechanism tripped on the Kosdaq soon after. In Japan, the Nikkei 225 lost 3.90% and the Topix fell 2.49%. Tokyo Electron dropped over 9%, Advantest slid 8%, and SoftBank Group fell nearly 5%.
US-listed chip stocks weren't spared either. The VanEck Semiconductor ETF lost over 2% on Monday. AMD fell 5%, Teradyne dropped 4%.
" Translation: "Sidecar terpicu saat penjualan meningkat
Bursa Efek Korea memicu sidecar sisi jual tak lama setelah pembukaan — penghentian ke-22 tahun ini. Mekanisme serupa terpicu di Kosdaq segera setelahnya. Di Jepang, Nikkei 225 kehilangan 3,90% dan Topix turun 2,49%. Tokyo Electron turun lebih dari 9%, Advantest merosot 8%, dan SoftBank Group turun hampir 5%.
Saham chip yang terdaftar di AS juga tidak luput. VanEck Semiconductor ETF kehilangan lebih dari 2% pada hari Senin. AMD turun 5%, Teradyne turun 4%.
" Note: "sidecar" is a term; keep as "sidecar" or translate? In Indonesian financial news, "sidecar" is often used as is. I'll keep it. "sell-side sidecar" -> "sidecar sisi jual". "Kosdaq" is proper noun. "Nikkei 225", "Topix" proper. "VanEck Semiconductor ETF" proper. Third paragraph: "AI spending skepticism weighs on sentiment
Investors remain skeptical about tech giants' heavy AI spending. That skepticism hit home as SK Hynix and Samsung announced $950 billion AI deals — likely a typo for $950 million — but the market wasn't impressed. The timing isn't great: SK Hynix reports quarterly earnings on Wednesday, July 29, alongside Microsoft, Meta, and a Federal Reserve rate decision. Apple and Amazon report on Thursday.
US futures pointed to further weakness Tuesday morning. S&P 500 futures were down 0.1%, Nasdaq 100 futures down 0.42%, and Dow futures down 0.04%.
" Translation: "Skeptisisme belanja AI membebani sentimen
Investor tetap skeptis terhadap belanja AI besar-besaran raksasa teknologi. Skeptisisme itu terasa ketika SK Hynix dan Samsung mengumumkan kesepakatan AI senilai $950 miliar — kemungkinan salah ketik untuk $950 juta — tetapi pasar tidak terkesan. Waktunya tidak tepat: SK Hynix melaporkan laba kuartalan pada hari Rabu, 29 Juli, bersama Microsoft, Meta, dan keputusan suku bunga Federal Reserve. Apple dan Amazon melaporkan pada hari Kamis.
Futures AS mengindikasikan pelemahan lebih lanjut pada Selasa pagi. Futures S&P 500 turun 0,1%, futures Nasdaq 100 turun 0,42%, dan futures Dow turun 0,04%.
" Note: "AI spending" -> "belanja AI". "hit home" -> "terasa". "quarterly earnings" -> "laba kuartalan". "Federal Reserve" proper. "futures" keep as "futures". Numbers: 0.1% -> 0,1% etc. Fourth paragraph: "All eyes are on Wednesday's earnings from SK Hynix, Microsoft, and Meta, plus the Fed's rate decision. The market wants to see if AI spending is actually paying off — or if the hype has run ahead of reality. Apple and Amazon report Thursday. For crypto, Bitcoin's slide below $64K adds to the risk-off mood. The next few days will tell whether this is a one-day panic or the start of a deeper correction.
" Translation: "Semua mata tertuju pada laba hari Rabu dari SK Hynix, Microsoft, dan Meta, ditambah keputusan suku bunga The Fed. Pasar ingin melihat apakah belanja AI benar-benar membuahkan hasil — atau jika hype telah melampaui kenyataan. Apple dan Amazon melaporkan pada hari Kamis. Untuk kripto, penurunan Bitcoin di bawah $64K menambah suasana risk-off. Beberapa hari ke depan akan menunjukkan apakah ini kepanikan satu hari atau awal koreksi yang lebih dalam.
" Note: "risk-off mood" -> "suasana risk-off" (common term). "one-day panic" -> "kepanikan satu hari". "deeper correction" -> "koreksi yang lebih dalam".
