Nikkei, Topix, CSI 300: Chip-Ausverkauf lastet auf asiatischen Börsen
Die Quartalszahlen einiger US-Technologiefirmen konnten die hohen Erwartungen der Anleger in Asien nicht erfüllen. Das belastet die Aktienmärkte.
The recent rally driven by artificial intelligence stocks in the Asian markets hit a snag on Thursday, as earnings disappointments weighed on the sector. US technology companies' quarterly results fell short of investor expectations, causing a cooling of the AI-driven rally. Chinese stock markets swung in different directions. The Japanese Nikkei index dropped 0.9% to 65,683 points.
The broader Topix index gained 0.2%. South Korea's leading index, the Kospi, fell 4.6%. Shanghai's index rose 0.4%. The Shanghai and Shenzhen indices fell 0.4%. The market's heavyweights in the chip sector struggled: Samsung Electronics' shares dropped 6.5%, while SK Hynix's fell over 10%. SoftBank Group's AI-specialized investor shares slipped 4.4% in Tokyo, and Tokyo Electron's chip manufacturer stock fell about 6%.
Wataru Akiyama, an equity strategist at Nomura Securities, noted that while heavy chip stocks heavily influence the market, causing a noticeable sell-off, the overall market sentiment had not deteriorated dramatically.
