🚨 JUST IN: Over $800 BILLION wiped out from Asia's stock markets in a single day as the AI sell-off deepens.
The China Shenwan Electronic Technology sector alone dropped 2.42%, with the broader rout spreading across finance, process industries, health technology, and utilities, virtually every sector showing red on the board.
South Korea's KOSPI led the carnage, plunging more than 5%, its steepest one-day decline since mid-August, with SK Hynix tumbling over 10% and Samsung falling more than 7%. Japan's Nikkei dropped roughly 2%, with SoftBank sinking over 8% and chip equipment maker Tokyo Electron falling more than 7%.
The trigger is renewed doubt about the AI investment boom's sustainability, compounded by reports that China's ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) is closing the technology gap with Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron in high-density memory chips. MSCI's Asia-Pacific index outside Japan fell more than 2% to its lowest level since late July.
This isn't an isolated chip stock dip, it's a region-wide repricing of AI-adjacent risk, and investors are clearly still trying to figure out where the floor is.
