Asian chipmakers have been the centre of attention this week after a deep selloff in South Korean stocks that wiped more than $2 trillion from the country's equity market rocked markets
South Korean technology giant Samsung Electronics on Thursday reported a record operating profit of 89.5 trillion won (USD 62 billion) for the April-June period, a day after crosstown rival SK Hynix also reported record earnings, as the world's two largest memory chipmakers continue to ride the global artificial intelligence boom. Despite their soaring profits, the companies' shares have fallen sharply this week in South Korea's volatile stock market, where retail investors often drive sharp swings in share prices, as concerns grow over their plans to spend massively on increasing manufacturing capacity and the prospects of intensifying competition from China. Samsung's second-quarter operating profit was a more than 19-fold increase from a year earlier, and nearly all of it came from its semiconductor business, which benefited from rising chip prices driven by demand for AI servers and increased shipments of advanced high-bandwidth memory chips used to power AI applications.
Twenty-five cultural and natural assets were added to the UNESCO World Heritage list, the United Nations Organization for Education, Science and Culture.
