Asian stocks tumbled led by technology sectors in Japan and South Korea following a rout in AI-related shares. Investing.com reported that the decline follows a major US market downturn where the Nasdaq saw its deepest drop since April 2025.
The market reversal was driven by local regulatory fears and concerns over the sustainability of AI sector growth. This volatility follows recent regional data, including South Korea's exports which grew 93.7% on November 1, 2026, and a Manufacturing PMI of 51.3 reported on November 2, 2026.
