Asian Stocks Plunge as AI, Fed Rate Hike Fears Deepen Global Selloff
IXIC sits 29% above its 52-week low of $20,690.249.
Summary
A global stock selloff deepened in Asia, with South Korea's Kospi down 7.8% and Japan's Nikkei dropping 4.4%, following Wall Street's worst day since July. The market decline is driven by higher-than-expected U.S. September core CPI data, which has reignited concerns about a potential Federal Reserve rate hike in October. This broad risk-off sentiment is also fueled by a spreading selloff in AI and chip stocks, impacting tech-heavy indices globally.
