Why Asia-Pacific closed broadly down
AI Sell‑off

A sharp reversal in AI and semiconductor stocks, especially Korean chipmakers, triggered steep selling on the KOSPI.

Fed Repricing

Investors sold broadly as markets repriced more aggressive Federal Reserve rate‑hike expectations.

Iran Sanctions Waiver

The U.S. waived sanctions on Iran, unsettling regional geopolitical stability and derailing equity sentiment.
