What the coverage says
Asian markets experienced a sharp downturn, led by South Korea's benchmark index plunging 8.5 percent in early trading according to Mint, which tied the drop to an overnight sell-off in American artificial intelligence and semiconductor stocks. NDTV Profit added that the broader regional decline pushed Japan's Nikkei 225 index down by more than 20 percent from its June peak, entering bear market territory alongside South Korea's declining index.
