## Prediction

Following the 6% KOSPI drop and 4.8% Nikkei slide, Asian tech-heavy equity indices and semiconductor stocks are likely to see continued selling pressure or at best weak, volatile rebounds in the next 24 hours. Uncertainty about the catalyst and exposure to war-related supply risks will push portfolio de-risking, particularly in Korean, Japanese, and Taiwanese chip and electronics names. This will feed through to global tech sentiment, impacting U.S. Nasdaq futures and EM equities with high tech weighting. Confirmation would be another 1–3% decline or choppy trade with elevated volumes in KOSPI and Nikkei tech segments; denial would be strong dip-buying supported by explicit policy reassurance or clear benign explanation for the initial drop.

## Drivers

- KOSPI’s sudden 6% slide and trading halt
- Nikkei’s nearly 5% drop
- Linkages between Asian tech markets and global semiconductor trade
