Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific. Asian stocks slumped, with tech bellwether Taiwan dropping the most in more than a year, extending a post-election rout in chipmakers that deepened on Wall Street due to growing concern Democrats will seek tighter regulation of the artificial intelligence industry. South Korea's tech-heavy Kospi Index slid as much as 8.8%, triggering a circuit breaker, with chipmakers Samsung Electronics Co. and SK Hynix Inc. both plunging more than 6%. Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 Stock Average tumbled 5.7%, while the MSCI Asia Pacific Index declined 4.2%. Taiwan's key index sank 6.2%, weighed down by a slump in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. The S&P 500 Index plunged 4.4% on Thursday to mark its worst performance since the April 2025 tariff meltdown. The Nasdaq 100 slid 6.4%, wiping out $2.3 trillion in value as it capped its worst session since March 2020. A closely watched gauge of chip giants tumbled 12%, with Nvidia Corp., Qualcomm Inc. and Arm Holdings Plc among the biggest decliners. In a sign markets may be starting to stabilize, futures on the Nasdaq gauge gained 0.9%. We speak to Bloomberg's Sunny Bangia. And - Richard Howes, Managing Director at Hearts & Minds Investment, discusses the investment opportunities in the private credit markets.

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific. Asian stocks were mixed as consumer and financial stocks rose following gains in US equities, while investors rotated away from semiconductor shares. The majority of stocks in the MSCI Asia Pacific Index gained after the S&P 500 Index jumped 1.6% on Wednesday, its biggest advance in three months, and the Nasdaq 100 climbed 0.9%. South Korea's tech-heavy Kospi Index dropped 3.6%, reflecting investor concerns over the future of data-center development and losses in US chip stocks. The equity market rally since the US election signals that investors are willing to look past a potential policy gridlock in Washington after Democrats wrested control of both chambers of the US Congress. The gain in Treasuries on oil's slump and speculation that the so-called blue wave would limit President Donald Trump's ability to add to the deficit is also seen as supporting stocks. We spoke to Paul Dobson, Bloomberg's Executive Editor for Asia Markets. And - The Republican Party's generational collapse in this week's midterm elections ushered in a wave of finger-pointing largely aimed at the Oval Office, exposing deep fissures within the party and opening the door for 2028 hopefuls to hone their message. Vice President JD Vance, the GOP's presumed frontrunner, on Wednesday distanced himself from both President Donald Trump and the war against Iran. He blamed the party's defeat on the war, the cost of living and US-Israel ties, saying the conflict cost his party the Senate for at least six years. To those who are angry and "want to say, 'I told you so,'" Vance wrote in a lengthy social media post, "you're right, you did tell us so." Bloomberg's Paul Allen and Haidi Stroud-Watts spoke to International Capital Strategies CEO Heidi Crebo-Rediker.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority's fifth edition of the Global Financial Leaders' Investment Summit will convene approximately 280 global financial leaders in Hong Kong, including around 120 group chairpersons and CEOs to discuss key macroeconomic trends, financial market shifts, and emerging technological advances across sectors and asset classes. We feature our top interviews at the event. Morgan Stanley CEO Ted Pick says the AI capex boom is only in the 'second inning' as Wall Street's top chiefs expect capital markets will continue to underwrite the global artificial intelligence infrastructure buildout. Speaking exclusively to Bloomberg's David Ingles and Yvonne Man, Pick projected cumulative spending could reach US$10-15T over the next decade. PIMCO CEO Emmanuel Roman believes the sovereign debt markets are very 'well anchored' and says the developments in middle east and the oil market is the reason the interest rates are higher. In an exclusive conversation with Bloomberg's Yvonne Man and David Ingles, Roman adds that AI's long term impact on the economy will be deflationary.

The MSCI Asia Pacific gauge dropped 0.7%, with South Korea's tech-heavy Kospi Index sliding more than 3%. The decline came after a gauge of US chipmakers extended a three-day rout to 12% while the Nasdaq 100 sank 10% from its peak, entering a technical correction. In a sign that some investors are looking to buy the dip, US stock futures gained. Japanese markets were closed for a holiday.
