KOSPI Hits Record 9,114 — But Only Two Stocks Are Doing the Work | June 23 2026 [Xbdre59pOLF]
Episode Description: The KOSPI closed at an all-time high of 9,114 on June 22 — but strip out Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, and the rest of the index fell 2.48% in June. That divergence is the story. In today's AI PRISM: Finance Daily, we unpack why SK Hynix has overtaken Samsung Electronics as Korea's largest market cap stock, what the FSS chief's public regret over single-stock leveraged ETFs means for retail risk regulation, why Bloomberg Intelligence is flagging Korea's "productive finance" policy as a structural drag on big-four bank CET1 ratios, how AI infrastructure demand is triggering chipflation that raised Microsoft Surface prices by $600, and what rising long-term bond yields mean for Korea's credit market in H2 2026.
