South Korea's KOSPI Index Triggers Circuit Breaker on Decline

On July 29, the South Korean stock market saw a second consecutive day of sharp declines, as SK Hynix's second-quarter earnings fell short of expectations, extending the downturn for chipmakers while retail investors reduced their holdings. After closing down 10% on Tuesday, the KOSPI index fell another 8% on Wednesday. So far in July, the KOSPI index has dropped more than 30%, and this month's decline is on track to be the steepest on record. The index had surged earlier this year, with its gains almost entirely dependent on Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix. After closing down 14% on Tuesday, SK Hynix's shares plummeted another 12% on Wednesday, with the two-day drop wiping out about one-fifth of its market cap. Investors are now awaiting the release of quarterly earnings from Samsung Electronics and other major U.S. tech companies on Thursday. (Jin Shi)

On July 29, the Federal Reserve will announce its interest rate decision at 2:00 PM ET on July 29 (early morning of July 30 Beijing time). The market is facing one of the most difficult FOMC meetings to predict in recent years. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, traders currently see about a 71% probability that the Fed will keep rates in the 3.50%-3.75% range, while still betting on roughly a 29% chance of a surprise 25-basis-point hike. The uncertainty this time stems mainly from oil prices and inflation. Repeated tensions in the Middle East have pushed up energy prices, raising concerns that inflationary pressures could reheat. At the same time, some recent inflation data have shown signs of cooling, making it harder to price whether the Fed needs to act immediately. Wall Street generally believes that even if the Fed holds steady this week, Chairman Kevin Warsh may strike a hawkish tone. Investors will focus on three points: whether the statement emphasizes inflation risks, whether there are dissenting votes in favor of a rate hike, and whether Warsh leaves room for further rate hikes later this year. For the market, the real risk lies in an upward revision of the rate path. If the Fed hints at further tightening, Treasury yields and mortgage rates could continue to rise, putting valuation pressure on growth stocks and other rate-sensitive assets. Strategists say U.S. stocks could experience sharp volatility on decision day, as investors await a clearer policy direction from Warsh.

On July 29, the KOSDAQ index plunged over 8% during trading, triggering a level 1 circuit breaker (activated when the index falls more than 8% from the previous day's closing price and persists for one minute). The circuit breaker mechanism has struggled to effectively halt sell-offs. Previously on July 28, the KOSPI and KOSDAQ both triggered level 1 circuit breakers on the same day, but the KOSPI still plummeted 10.84%, and the KOSDAQ fell 7.72%. The core logic behind this crash is the revaluation of AI semiconductor stocks combined with structural flaws in South Korea's market. Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix together account for over 40% of the KOSPI's market capitalization, meaning fluctuations in just these two stocks can dictate the direction of the broader index. Samsung Electronics is currently down 5.45%, and SK Hynix is down 9.81%.

On July 29, according to CNBC, attorneys general from 44 U.S. states sent a letter on Monday to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), arguing that the agency lacks the authority to regulate sports-related event contracts on prediction market platforms. The letter was issued as the public comment period for the CFTC’s first proposed rule on prediction market regulation ended on Monday evening, focusing primarily on sports products on exchanges. The coalition, led by Ohio Attorney General Andy Wilson, stated that the proposed rule exceeds the CFTC’s statutory authority, conflicts with the Constitution, and is arbitrary and capricious. It should be redrafted to clearly state that sports betting cannot be traded on designated contract markets and should instead be governed by state law. Attorneys general from Florida, Georgia, New Hampshire, Missouri, and Texas did not sign the letter. The CFTC released its first draft of prediction market regulatory rules in June, focusing on sports event contracts and defining "gaming." The CFTC has been clashing with multiple states in court on the grounds of federal preemption and is currently engaged in litigation with nine states.
