Asian markets posted broad declines as investors dumped technology shares, with the South Korean Kospi index bearing the brunt of the selloff.[1] The Kospi fell 1.3 percent to 5,587.82 on Thursday, extending a two-day loss exceeding 16 percent and marking a decline of more than 35 percent from its June record high of 9,000 points.[1] Chipmaker stocks led the retreat, with SK Hynix dropping 4 percent Thursday after plunging more than 9 percent the previous day, despite reporting quarterly profit growth of six times—a result that still fell short of analyst expectations.[1] Samsung Electronics bucked the trend, rising 2.4 percent after announcing record quarterly operating profit.[1]
The broader market turmoil reflected weakness across global markets, with U.S. equities also ending lower following the Federal Reserve's decision to hold interest rates unchanged.[1] The S&P 500 declined 1.5 percent to 7,316.15, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 2.2 percent to 51,594.14, and the Nasdaq dropped 1.7 percent to 24,442.94.[1] Technology stocks extended their losses, with Nvidia sinking 3.6 percent, AMD falling 5.5 percent, and Broadcom sliding 2.8 percent.[1] The dollar strengthened to 163.49 yen against the Japanese currency.[1]
Oil markets also moved lower amid fluctuations tied to U.S.-Iran tensions.[1] Brent crude fell 1 percent to $87.18 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate crude declined 0.9 percent to $83.74 per barrel.[1] Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh reaffirmed the central bank's commitment to returning inflation to its 2 percent target.[1]
