Summary
SK Hynix-linked leveraged ETFs lost as much as 20.90% in one session after the chipmaker fell 9.92% on June 5, while Samsung-linked products dropped up to 14.53% as Samsung slid 6.40%.
Broadcom’s weaker-than-expected earnings and revenue guidance chilled sentiment toward semiconductor shares, reviving fears that the chip cycle may be nearing a peak.
Retail investors were hit hardest because many had recently piled into single-stock leveraged products, which magnify daily moves and turned the chip selloff into double-digit losses.
South Korean brokerages still view the drop as volatility after a sharp AI-driven rally, saying chip earnings recovery and the broader AI investment cycle remain intact even as caution on leveraged bets rises.
