KOSPI fell on Friday but rose 4.56% for the week, recouping a prior week's
roughly 12% slide as investors absorbed ongoing leadership turmoil at U.S.
chipmaker Nvidia. Kang Jin-hyuk at Shinhan Investment said Jensen Huang remains
a key trust anchor for AI-ecosystem financing, so financing entities could face
risk, but markets are separating CEO-related noise from broader AI uncertainty.
Foreign investors net bought KOSPI spot for a fourth straight session. Samsung
Electronics fell 0.96% and SK Hynix dropped 3.03% on Friday; their relative
resilience points to continued focus on potential demand for HBM and
next-generation chips rather than Nvidia-specific governance risks.
