Why Asia-Pacific closed broadly down
KOSPI Drop

South Korea's KOSPI tumbled due to disappointing earnings reports from top technology companies.

China Manufacturing Slump

Weak factory output and export data from China lowered trade activity expectations region-wide.

US Dollar Rally

A surge in the US dollar increased borrowing costs and reduced export competitiveness in Asia-Pacific.
