Bitcoin News: EU leaders seek to curb soaring energy prices, but the Iran war leaves few policy options. EU leaders are looking for ways to ease soaring energy prices, but the US-Iran war has left them with few policy choices. Soaring energy costs have become a central issue in the broader debate over Europe's competitiveness. EU leaders will discuss the matter at a two-day summit in Brussels on Thursday. A senior EU official said the European Commission, the EU's executive body, is expected to tell member state leaders that there is no immediate solution to high energy prices. EU member states also face many constraints. With government budgets increasingly strained, price caps and tax cuts would carry heavy fiscal costs, and soaring interest rates further compound the challenge. The EU has few response measures that can take effect quickly.

KOSPI plunges 7% on AI chip selloff
CoinWorld data: The KOSPI index plunged 7% as the global AI chip selloff intensified, triggering a trading halt and causing South Korean stocks to lose billions. On Thursday, the KOSPI suffered another heavy blow, hitting its lowest point since late July, with seven consecutive trading days of declines—the longest losing streak since 2024. Although it is still up about 30% in 2026, the index has fallen about 39% from its historical high in June. Due to the enormous weight of semiconductor companies in the stock market, South Korea is particularly vulnerable in the latest tech selloff. Samsung Electronics shares fell 9%, and SK Hynix dropped 11%. Foreign investors sold about 2.9 trillion won (approximately $2.15 billion) worth of South Korean stocks during the trading day, intensifying market pressure. Investors are worried about the future returns of the AI investment boom, especially against the backdrop of higher-than-expected U.S. inflation, which has heightened expectations that interest rates may remain high or rise further.
