U.S. Chip Stock Slump Sparks Debate Among Korean and Japanese Retail Investors Ahead of Monday's Open

Following the July 17 Korean national holiday, which allowed domestic markets to sidestep the impact of a sharp U.S. semiconductor stock decline, retail investors in South Korea and Japan are expressing growing anxiety about the opening on Monday, July 20. According to posts across online communities and social media on July 18, Japanese retail investors are awaiting South Korea's market reopening to share the risk, while Korean investors are divided—some calling for another trading halt, others bracing for absorption of losses. Japan's market fully absorbed the semiconductor shock on July 18, amplifying concerns about the potential fallout when South Korea resumes trading.
