Barron's explicitly confirms Micron Technology shares rose after a 13% drop last Friday. Another source mentions Micron extending losses to -10% on a different day, but the specific sequence of a 13% Friday drop followed by a Monday rise is supported by Barron's and the context of the semiconductor rally.

Claim 11: “South Korea's benchmark Kospi leading declines, falling more than 8% to end at 7,484.41.”
DISPUTED
While one source confirms a crash of 'down 8% in about a minute', another source reports the Kospi sank 6.4% to 6,820.60. The closing value of 7,484.41 is not corroborated and contradicts the 6,820.60 figure.
