- SK Hynix plunged 10% as Wall Street AI names fell, dragging Asian tech stocks lower alongside a broader AI-rally cooldown.
- Asia equities were broadly firmer, with Japan and Korea rebounding in line with Wall Street gains, while oil edged up on Gulf tensions.
Why it matters: SK Hynix's 10% drop shows how directly Korean chipmakers are wired to US AI sentiment—even when the broader regional tape rebounds, AI-exposed tech diverges sharply from the rest of the market.
