PORTALBERITA.CO.ID - Nvidia Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang offered a counter-narrative to recent market anxieties, characterizing the global technology stock selloff as an opportune moment for investors to acquire assets. This perspective was shared during his official visit to Seoul on Monday, June 8, 2026.
The CEO's remarks followed a notable downturn in regional markets, specifically South Korea’s benchmark Kospi Index, which experienced a sharp decline on the same day. As reported by Businesstimes, investors were reportedly retreating from artificial intelligence investments that had previously propelled a significant global bull run.
Fears concerning the potential overheating of the Artificial Intelligence sector were cited as the primary driver for the cooling of global tech equities. This regional pullback was preceded by a slump among United States-based peers, largely fueled by growing anxieties about a possible future interest rate hike by central banks.
In addressing the market turbulence, Huang emphasized that the industry is currently only in its nascent phase of development. He asserted that the foundational infrastructure required to support an AI-driven future is still actively being constructed across the globe.
Significantly, Huang’s visit coincided with a major strategic announcement between Nvidia and SK Hynix, the South Korean semiconductor giant. The two firms formalized a multi-year agreement aimed at jointly designing forthcoming generations of advanced AI memory chips.
This new partnership represents a crucial development for SK Hynix as it escalates its competitive standing against domestic rival Samsung Electronics. Domestic market losses began to stabilize after South Korean President Lee Jae-myung publicly voiced his conviction that the nation's market remained fundamentally undervalued.
Huang delivered his optimistic assessment following a high-level meeting held in the South Korean capital with SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won. The CEO directly addressed the implications of the current market correction for potential buyers.
"We’re at the beginning of it, and whatever happened to the stock market, you should be very happy because now you can buy at a discount," said Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia.
The Nvidia executive reaffirmed his long-held conviction that artificial intelligence is poised to fundamentally revolutionize numerous sectors across the global economy. This transformation is expected to drastically alter daily human labor practices and broader lifestyle patterns.
