A rebound in the artificial intelligence trade sputtered after the dismal debut of a South Korean data center firm revived concerns about whether the technology’s spending boom can last.
Seoul’s Kospi Index fell 3.8% on a fresh bout of weakness in two of the world’s biggest memory makers, Samsung Electronics Co. and SK Hynix Inc. AI infrastructure group Elice Inc. suffered the worst opening day for a sizable company on the bourse, even after an initial public offering that was 400 times subscribed.
The Opening Trade has everything you need to know as markets open across Europe. With analysis you won't find anywhere else, we break down the biggest stories of the day and speak to top guests who have skin in the game. Hosted by Anna Edwards, Guy Johnson and Tom Mackenzie.
