#TradingDay: War clouds darken | Reuters
July 20 (Reuters) - Escalating tensions in the Middle East finally weighed on Wall Street on Monday, after investors had earlier bought back beaten-down chip stocks ahead of some big tech earnings reports later this week, while the war jitters lifted oil prices, bond yields and the dollar.
In my column today, I look at how the intense volatility in South Korea's chip-heavy stock market has spilled over to Wall Street. The benchmark KOSPI is tanking. Can the main U.S. indices withstand the heat?
Today's Key Market Moves
STOCKS: South Korea -4.5%, Japan -4%. Europe -0.4%, UK -0.7%. Dow -0.6%, S&P 500 -0.2%, Nasdaq flat.SECTORS/SHARES: Eight sectors on the S&P 500 fall, three rise. Healthcare, materials -1%, comms services +0.7%. Paramount -2%, hits 17-year low; Warner Bros. Discovery -3.8% to 2026 low. Global Payments +6%, Microsoft +2%, Oracle -4%.FX: Dollar up broadly vs G10 FX, but slips vs key EM units — BRL, MXN, KRW all +0.5% or more.BONDS: UK gilt yields up broadly, curve steepens ~4 bps. U.S. yields +4-6 bps across the curve.COMMODITIES/METALS: Oil +1%, Brent pops back above $90/bbl. Gold slips, hugs $4,000/oz.

Korean stock volatility comes to America. Can Wall Street take the heat?
July 20, 20269:00 PM GMT+8
July 20 (Reuters) - The intense volatility rocking South Korea’s chip-heavy stock market has come to America, but Wall Street has suffered only modest losses in response. Can this continue, or will the slump in semiconductors and vulnerability among highly leveraged investors cause serious damage in the U.S. as well?
The benchmark KOSPI index (.KS11), opens new tab - heavily concentrated in firms benefiting from the artificial intelligence boom, most notably the trillion-dollar megacaps Samsung (005930.KS), opens new tab and SK Hynix (000660.KS), opens new tab - is down more than 30% from its peak only a month ago, and volatility has soared. Daily moves of 4% or more are now regular occurrences, and 30-day realized volatility has exploded to the highest since 1998.
