Asian tech stocks plummeted for a second day on Thursday amid escalating trade tensions, driven by concerns over potential US restrictions on chip sales to China. The selloff was led by chip stocks, with markets in Japan and South Korea experiencing significant declines. The Topix index in Japan fell 1.2%, further weighed down by a stronger yen. The yen surged to a six-week high as investors reacted to the possibility of tighter US curbs on exports of advanced semiconductor technology. This follows a report that the US is considering the harshest trade rules against chip-gear companies that continue providing China access to advanced tech. The selloff tracked a heavy decline on Wall Street.
