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%.

Bursa din Coreea a declanșat un mecanism de oprire a vânzărilor (sell-side sidecar) la scurt timp după deschidere — a 22-a astfel de oprire în acest an. Un mecanism similar s-a activat pe Kosdaq la scurt timp după. În Japonia, Nikkei 225 a pierdut 3,90%, iar Topix a scăzut cu 2,49%. Tokyo Electron a scăzut cu peste 9%, Advantest cu 8%, iar SoftBank Group cu aproape 5%.

Nici acțiunile producătorilor de cipuri listate în SUA nu au fost cruțate. ETF-ul VanEck Semiconductor a pierdut peste 2% luni. AMD a scăzut cu 5%, Teradyne cu 4%.
