Asian markets took a hit on Friday, with tech stocks leading the plunge. Renewed anxieties about an AI bubble, coupled with confusing US jobs data, rattled investors across the region.
Even Nvidia’s impressive earnings weren’t enough to stem the tide. Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Seoul all experienced significant downturns, with chip manufacturers feeling the most pain. This sell-off mirrored a reversal on Wall Street, triggered by investors rethinking the Federal Reserve’s potential interest rate moves.
Is this a temporary correction or a sign of deeper trouble? The market’s reaction suggests some investors are taking profits and reassessing their risk exposure in the AI sector. The ambiguous US jobs data added another layer of uncertainty, making it difficult to predict the Fed’s next steps.
