Asian stock markets trade mixed as technology shares decline in Japan and South Korea after a selloff on the previous trading day. Reports describe weakness in technology-related stocks pulling indices lower, with investors reacting to continued market volatility following Friday’s rout. In Japan, the Nikkei 225 moves down, shedding about 1% to 68,704.70. In South Korea, the Kospi falls more sharply, down about 2% to 8,246.50. Other parts of Asia are described as mixed, indicating gains or steadier trading in some markets even as tech weakness weighs on major benchmarks in Japan and South Korea. The coverage does not attribute the moves to a specific company event or policy announcement, focusing instead on the broader market reaction to the recent selloff and the impact of falling tech stocks on regional indices. Overall, trading remains sensitive to sector performance, with technology playing a central role in the day’s market direction in both countries.
