Asian stocks are mixed after Big Tech sell-off

South Korea’s Kospi rebounded 3.3% after a 10% drop, while Japan’s Nikkei slipped as investors weighed higher-rate risks for AI stocks.

  • Asian markets traded mixed on Wednesday following a global sell-off in technology and semiconductor shares that spread from Asia to Wall Street, rattling investors after weeks of significant gains.
  • Growing concerns that the Federal Reserve could raise interest rates later this year are stifling heavy AI spending, as traders worry higher rates will hamper economic growth and deflate the AI-related stock surge.
  • South Korea's Kospi index sank 10% on Tuesday before recovering slightly, while Sandisk shares fell 13.6% and Marvell Technologies lost nearly 9.4%, exemplifying the sharp downturn in semiconductor stocks.
  • Market analyst Michael McCarthy at Moomoo Securities Australia said "price action over the last seven trading days has been alarming," signaling instability, while James Reilly, senior markets economist at Capital Economics, called the falls an illustration of rising volatility.
  • Investors await Thursday's personal consumption expenditures price index, the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge, while oil prices have eased amid U.S.-Iran negotiations though energy costs remain elevated versus pre-war levels.
