Why Asia-Pacific closed broadly down
Gulf Conflict

Markets fell as renewed U.S.–Iran military escalations and Iran’s claim of closing the Strait of Hormuz spurred a risk-off wave.

Tech Sell‑off

Asian equities declined amid sharp losses in South Korean semiconductor giants Samsung and SK Hynix, triggering circuit breakers.

Valuation Concerns

Broader sell‑off deepened by concerns over overstretched AI‑driven tech valuations and memory‑chip earnings outlook deterioration.
