Market Chatter: Bank of Korea Rejects 'Peak Semiconductor' Theory; Expects Expansion to Continue

MT Newswires Live

Jul 13

The Bank of Korea has dismissed concerns that the global semiconductor market has peaked, forecasting continued expansion driven by artificial intelligence, Yonhap News Agency reported Monday.

The central bank, in a written response submitted to People Power Party lawmaker Park Sung-hoon, said semiconductor demand has increased significantly due to AI infrastructure investment, while the pace of supply expansion remains slow.

The domestic semiconductor market is dominated by Samsung Electronics (KRX:005930) and SK hynix (KRX:000660).
