Asian markets trade mostly lower as weakness in parts of Wall Street’s technology sector spills into regional trading. Multiple outlets report that South Korea’s benchmark Kospi drops more than 4% on Thursday, with the decline linked to losses among major technology companies in the United States. One reported driver is a fall in memory-chip related stocks, including SK Hynix, which is cited as weakening alongside other Big Tech names. The articles present the move as part of a broader risk-off reaction to the earlier declines on Wall Street rather than a single-country event. Coverage characterizes the day’s trading as subdued across Asia, with investors responding to the technology-led selloff. The sources do not cite a specific policy announcement or company-specific news from Asia itself; instead, they attribute the momentum largely to the prior session’s declines in U.S. tech shares. Overall, the reports describe a regional pullback with the Kospi’s steep percentage decline standing out as the most notable market move.
