On the news front, the Korean market experienced a sharp cooldown as investors collectively pulled back. The Bank of Korea raised its benchmark seven-day repo rate by 25 basis points to 3.0% on August 27, marking its second consecutive rate hike since resuming tightening in July. The central bank significantly raised its GDP growth forecast for this year from 2.6% to 3.3%, citing an unprecedented semiconductor boom, while CPI projections remained at 2.7%. The rate hike drove the Korean won stronger, with USD/KRW falling 0.5% to 1,378.30, further pressuring valuations of export-oriented firms. Meanwhile, global semiconductor stocks broadly declined, with NVIDIA down 0.63%, Micron Technology down 1.89%, and SK Hynix down 3.06% overnight.
