Goldman Sachs cut its 12-month target for South Korea’s KOSPI by 25%, from 12,000 to 9,000, after the index fell to a seven-month low. According to Sina Finance, the bank said risk-averse trading had spread concerns about memory chips across the broader market and described South Korean stocks as significantly oversold; its 9,000 target still implied more than 60% upside from the index’s 5,475 level when the report was published. Goldman had maintained its 12,000 target in August and October after raising it in June, having set a year-end 2026 target of 6,400 early in the year. The KOSPI hit a record 9,385.59 on June 19 before falling more than 35% over four months. On October 26, it dropped below 5,500, closing at a seven-month low, while foreign investors sold nearly 700 billion won net. Despite record third-quarter results from Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, the KOSPI fell 3.48% on October 30 after losing as much as 5% intraday, triggering a circuit breaker. Goldman cited rising concerns about AI-related trades, including the returns on heavy AI investment and the sustainability of financing. South Korean scholar Kim Yun-jun said the decline reflected excessive valuations rather than a bearish view of the market, and argued that semiconductor fundamentals remained sound. South Korea’s September exports, adjusted for working-day differences, rose 104.9% year over year to a record $120.9 billion; chip exports climbed 263% to a record $60.3 billion.

Morgan Stanley said the AI boom was creating a stronger, longer-lasting memory-chip cycle, while traditional boom-and-bust dynamics tied to supply growth, prices and earnings remained.

According to Odaily citing a video released by the White House Rapid Response team, US President Trump, when responding to a question about the Binance hack, said: "We're learning about it. We don't know if it's North Korea — but if it is, we'll talk to North Korea about it."

According to Jin10, U.S. President Donald Trump said he was not in a hurry to advance negotiations over Iran, claiming the United States had destroyed Iran’s navy, air force, air defense systems, most of its military equipment, much of its manufacturing capacity, and its nuclear capabilities and facilities. He said one or two sites still needed to be dealt with and could be handled in 10 minutes, adding that plans were in place and that the Gaoshan issue could be addressed quickly.

 Binance said in an update on X that it had already covered $6 billion of the impacted amount of the hacked loss.
