๐Ÿšจ ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ท Korea halts programme trading as KOSPI futures drop 5%, ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Treasury yields hit seven-week lows

  • ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ท The Korea Exchange triggered a sidecar on the KOSPI after KOSPI 200 futures fell 5%, pausing programme trading for five minutes (newswires, )
  • ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต The Nikkei is down about 2% and ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ผ Taiwan stocks more than 2%, as tech losses after weak Amazon and Intel results spread across Asia (newswires)

FO view: The Asian equity slide and bond rally pull against the hawkish Fed repricing after Wednesday's 10 to 2 vote, and add to the AI capex doubts raised by last night's Amazon and Intel results.

Not investment advice.
