The Korean stock market has collapsed! The stock markets of Japan and South Korea are "bloodied," with Korea experiencing a temporary circuit breaker and a 7% drop! The Middle East fire has ignited, and foreign capital is fleeing in panic, totaling 32.3 billion yuan.
The Middle East powder keg exploded, and global financial markets instantly changed face! Today (March 3), the stock markets of Japan and South Korea experienced a brutal "Black Tuesday," with scenes of wailing everywhere. South Korea's stock market led the collapse. It plummeted immediately after opening, with the Korea Composite Index wildly diving during the session, dropping over 6% at one point, triggering a circuit breaker! Programmatic trading was forced to pause, and the market fell into a deathly silence. Individual stocks were even more devastating: Samsung and SK Hynix plunged over 7%, Hyundai and Kia fell more than 9%. Just last week, the Korean stock market was "the top of the world," soaring 48% year-to-date, but now it has become a frightened bird. Japan's stock market was not spared either. The Nikkei 225 index plunged over 1,400 points during the session, with giants like Toyota and Sony falling collectively. The yen exchange rate even dropped to 157, with fears of soaring import costs sweeping the market. The culprit behind this plunge is the escalating conflict in the Middle East. Just yesterday, the U.S. embassy in Saudi Arabia was suddenly attacked by drones, with Trump threatening "major retaliation immediately." Reports say the U.S. is preparing to launch a "significant escalation" strike against Iran. Under the shadow of war, the most敏感 capital is beginning to flee wildly. Data shows that last Friday, foreign investors sold Korean stocks worth as much as 6.8 trillion won (about 32.3 billion RMB) in a single day, setting a record for the most terrifying single-day net sell-off! Hedge funds that previously heavily bet on Asian markets and leveraged up are now all confused, indiscriminately cutting positions and retreating. Even more frightening is the chain reaction. 70% of Korea's oil imports come from the Middle East. If the Strait of Hormuz is blocked, oil prices will skyrocket, freight costs will surge, and for the heavily import-dependent economies of Japan and South Korea, it will be a heavy blow. After the plunge, is it an abyss or dawn? The whole world is watching for the next gunshot in the Middle East. #贵金原油价格飙升
