Tokyo and Seoul stock markets experienced significant declines due to fears over U.S. midterm election outcomes affecting AI data center investments. The Nikkei 225 fell by 5.69%, while the Kospi dropped by 7.92%, triggering a trading suspension. Initial positive reactions to Democratic victories turned cautious as concerns grew about potential regulatory impacts on tech investments. Semiconductor stocks were particularly hard hit, with Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix seeing substantial losses. The downturn followed a negative session on U.S. markets, where the Nasdaq Composite dropped 5.52%, raising investor worries about stricter regulations on tech sectors, especially data centers.
