South Korean shares fall as US tech sell‑off sparks profit‑booking
NVDA has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $86.62 on elevated volume (2.1× avg).
Summary
South Korean shares experienced a significant decline of over 2%, driven by a broader sell-off in U.S. technology stocks. This market reaction is directly attributed to NVIDIA's post-earnings performance, where despite reporting strong fourth-quarter and fiscal year results, the market's reaction was negative, causing its stock to fall and leading the Nasdaq and S&P 500 lower yesterday. This event demonstrates the substantial global influence of NVIDIA's performance on investor sentiment and its ripple effect across international tech markets. Traders should monitor the continued market digestion of NVIDIA's earnings and its potential for further impact on the broader technology sector.
At the time of this announcement, NVDA was trading at $185.00 on NASDAQ in the Technology sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $4.5T. The 52-week trading range was $86.62 to $212.19.
