The AI boom has driven extreme volatility in emerging markets, particularly in South Korea and Taiwan due to their dominance in tech hardware stocks. Heavy concentration in a few large tech firms has made these markets less of a diversification bet, causing significant investor pullback and market swings.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Semiconductors.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Extreme swings in South Korean and Taiwanese tech stocks expose rising risk in emerging markets; you need to brace for sharp shifts in fund flows and rethink your market strategy to avoid getting caught in hype-driven reversals.
