HK, mainland markets feel rumble of Dem AI jitters
Mainland and Hong Kong stocks tumbled in early trade on Friday, tracking a global tech rout as fears of tighter AI regulation and a slowdown in the sector rattled investors. The benchmark Hang Seng Index fell 392 points, or 1.58 percent, to 24,404 while the artificial intelligence index was down some 7 percent. The China enterprises index was down 120 points, or 1.44 percent, at 8,248 while the tech index fell 129 points, or 3.11 percent, to 4,025. On the mainland, the Shanghai Composite Index opened down 77 points, or 2.11 percent, at 3,612 while the blue-chip CSI300 Index slipped 1.5 percent. The Shenzhen Component Index opened down 426 points, or 3.72 percent, at 11,044 while the ChiNext Index opened down 128 points, or 4.99 percent, at 2,438. Tech led the drop, with startup board Star 50 Index and AI Index both down more than five percent at the open before narrowing some of the losses. Overnight in the US market, the tech-led Nasdaq notched its deepest one-day drop since "Liberation Day" in April 2025, when US President Donald Trump announced sweeping tariffs. The drop wiped out trillions of dollars in market value on fears of more AI scrutiny after Democrats won big in US midterm elections. (Agencies) Edited by Aaron Tam

US tech sell-off hits stocks in Seoul and Tokyo
South Korea's benchmark Kospi stock index plunged more than 8 per cent in early trading on Friday, triggering a circuit breaker as a sell-off led by chip and technology stocks pushed the index below the 5,000-point mark for the first time in nine months. The Korea Exchange (KRX) activated a 20-minute circuit breaker at 9.03 am (0003 GMT), temporarily halting all stock and derivatives trading. The benchmark KOSPI was down around 500 points, or 8.6 per cent, at 4,923.47 as of 0026 GMT. "It is time for correction, but we feel that there may be some overreaction to the outcome of the midterm election," said Jun Kwang-woo, chairman of the Institute for Global Economics, a financial think tank in Seoul, "Hopefully we will stabilise very soon because after all, we understand that the speed of building AI infrastructure, especially data centres may slow down a bit because of the number of concerns in many states including Texas," said Jun, who is a former chairman of South Korea's National Pension Service. US stock markets suffered their worst single-day session in more than a year on Thursday, led by a sharp unwind in high-flying technology and semiconductor shares. Fresh uncertainly over policies on AI and data centres following the sweeping gains for the Democratic Party in the US midterm elections sent shockwaves across hardware and chip suppliers. Shares in South Korean chipmaker Samsung Electronics fell 10 per cent, while peer SK Hynix lost 13 per cent. Among other index heavyweights, battery maker LG Energy Solution slid 4 per cent, while Hyundai Motor fell 6.9 per cent and sister automaker Kia Corp declined 4 per cent. Japan’s stock benchmark Nikkei tumbled more than 6 per cent after trading opened Friday. Edited by Robert Kemp

Brutal sell-off for AI stocks sends Wall St reeling
A brutal sell-off swept through Wall Street on Thursday, led by stocks tied to the buildout of AI data centres. The wipeout more than erased the US stock market’s gain from the day before, which was its best in three months. The S&P 500 fell 4.4 percent for its worst day since US President Donald Trump shook markets worldwide in April 2025 with his “Liberation Day” tariffs. The Dow sank 3.4 percent, while the Nasdaq tumbled 5.5 percent. The Nasdaq, which is full of AI-related and other tech stocks, sank 11.9 percent below its all-time high set last month. Stock geeks call a loss of more than 10 percent a “correction.” Stock markets around the world felt pressure from continued drops for companies that had benefited from the boom in the artificial-intelligence technology industry, and South Korea’s Kospi index tumbled 5.3 percent. Such stocks have been swinging for months on worries that the construction of further AI data centres may slow because of how expensive it’s become to borrow money. Critics also said AI stock prices had shot too high and were in a bubble. Tuesday’s US midterm elections added another challenge. The nationwide victories for Democrats raised the possibility that governments could force pauses in construction of more data centres. Voters across political parties say they’re wary about AI and don’t like the increases to power bills caused by data centres. Any slowdown in construction of AI data centres would mean fewer purchases of AI chips, not to mention electricity and other products and services that are getting vacuumed up in the AI frenzy, which is driving much of the US economy’s growth . Nvidia, the chip company that quickly became the face of the AI boom, fell 9.3 percent and was by far the heaviest weight on the S&P 500. It’s now down 2.6 percent for the year so far following annual gains of roughly 39 percent, 171 percent and 239 percent in the last three years. Advanced Micro Devices tumbled 17.3 percent. CoreWeave, a company that rents access to AI chips to customers over the cloud, fell 9.8 percent. GE Vernova, which has been helping to power data centers, sank 7.5 percent. The Nasdaq fell 5.5 percent, to 24,315, the S&P 500 fell 4.4 percent, to 7,353, while the Dow fell 3.4 percent, to 51,523. (AP) Edited by Robert Kemp
