13 Oct
Summary
- Samsung and SK Hynix shares experienced a significant selloff.

Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix experienced a significant stock selloff, with shares dropping more than 5% each on Tuesday.

The selloff is attributed to escalating concerns regarding competition from Chinese companies within the semiconductor industry.
