Today, Asian markets experienced sharp declines in the shares of semiconductor and artificial intelligence companies. The South Korean "KOSPI" index plummeted by 7.57%, reaching 5,554.22 points, before trading was temporarily halted. Japanese market indices also declined further, with the "Nikkei 225" dropping by 4.90%. The losses were driven by rising investor concerns over increased financing costs for the tech sector, especially amid the ongoing rise in U.S. inflation, which reached 3.7% in September, and higher borrowing costs. Despite the decline in stock prices, semiconductor companies continued to report growth in profits, with expectations of sustained demand for advanced manufacturing technologies. This reflects a contrast between market pressures and the success of some companies in achieving strong profits.
