Börsen: Nach KI-Ausverkauf: Börsen in Ostasien starten mit Gewinnen
Nach dem heftigen Kurseinbruch an der Wall Street sind die Märkte in Ostasien positiv in die Handelswoche gestartet. Insbesondere der japanische Leitindex legte deutlich zu.
East Asia's stock markets have seen a resurgence after a dramatic sell-off in the artificial intelligence sector last week. The Japanese Nikkei 225 index edged up 2.8% by the start of the week, while South Korea's Kospi was up 1.2% at the same time. Semiconductor giants Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix both opened the week up by 2.6% and 3.7% respectively.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index, which opened an hour later, rose 0.7%, while China's mainland CSI 300 Index gained nearly 0.5%. Last week's extraordinary AI sell-off on Wall Street had a significant impact on Asian markets. US stocks in the S&P 500 collectively lost nearly $3 trillion ($2.7 trillion in euros) on Thursday, driven by concerns over the future of AI business following the Democratic Party's win in the US midterm elections.
Worsening investor sentiment was also fueled by the threat of rising oil prices amid ongoing restrictions on shipping traffic through the strategically important Hormuz Strait.
