Asian Tech Shares Plunge on AI Skepticism and Chinese Competition; Oil Prices Decline

Yahoo Finance ·

Asian stock markets tumbled sharply on Tuesday, pressured by mounting doubts regarding the artificial intelligence investment boom and advancements by China's CXMT in memory chip technology. Broadcom CEO Hock Tan compared the ongoing AI buying frenzy to casino gambling, warning that participants harbor unrealistic expectations. Furthermore, the International Monetary Fund cautioned during its annual meeting in Bangkok about a potential correction in the sector due to diminishing economic returns. Consequently, South Korea's Kospi index plummeted 5.5 percent to close at 6,035.35, weighed down by heavy losses in chip heavyweights like SK hynix and Samsung. Japan's Nikkei 225 dropped 1.8 percent to finish at 67,777.52, driven by Kioxia plunging over 13 percent. Meanwhile, European equities advanced as oil prices retreated despite escalating Middle East supply concerns. Brent crude fell 1.9 percent to $104.58 and WTI dropped 2.0 percent to $91.92 per barrel.

Concerns over an AI investment bubble, combined with reports of technological catching-up by China's CXMT, increased valuation pressures on global semiconductor and tech stocks. Sentiment has significantly deteriorated, with major chip makers such as SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics plunging.

Upcoming earnings reports and the visibility of return on investment from AI-related companies will be key indicators determining short-term stock directions. In this correction phase of excessive expectations, stocks lacking solid earnings may face additional downward pressure.
