Japan, South Korea stocks slide; KOSPI hits circuit breaker
AI Market Summary
Japan's Nikkei 225 and South Korea's KOSPI sold off sharply, with the KOSPI triggering a circuit breaker after an intraday drop beyond 8%. Heavy declines in large-cap tech exporters (e.g., SK Hynix, Samsung) point to a broad risk-off move and potential deleveraging across Asia equities. The shock can tighten regional financial conditions and pressure correlated risk assets in the near term.
