Stocks tumble amid chip selloff while oil surges, markets close lower
Asian stocks fell alongside US equity-index futures as investors rotated out of technology shares, deepening a selloff in chipmakers after the sector’s blistering rally earlier this year. Oil climbed.
Introduction
Global equity markets slipped on Thursday as a broad retreat from semiconductor stocks weighed on sentiment, while energy prices gained momentum on tightening supply concerns. The selloff in chips, which had powered much of the year‑to‑date gains in tech, triggered a ripple effect across Asian bourses and dragged US index futures lower. Meanwhile, crude oil posted its strongest daily advance in weeks, buoyed by geopolitical tensions and expectations of tighter OPEC+ output.
Key Developments
In Asia, the MSCI Asia Pacific Index dropped 1.2%, with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company and Samsung Electronics leading the decline, each shedding more than 3% after disappointing guidance from major foundries. Japan’s Nikkei 225 fell 0.9%, and South Korea’s KOSPI slipped 1.1% as investors shifted capital toward defensive sectors. In the United States, S&P 500 futures slipped 0.7% and Nasdaq 100 futures dropped 1.0%, reflecting the unwind of recent tech‑heavy positions. On the commodities front, Brent crude rose 2.4% to $86.30 a barrel, while WTI climbed 2.2% to $82.10, supported by reports of potential supply disruptions in the Middle East and a weaker dollar that made dollar‑denominated oil more attractive to foreign buyers.
