Stock market jitters remain amid tech fears and renewed Middle East attacks
On June 8, 2026, Asian tech-heavy stock markets saw steep sell-offs: South Korea’s Kospi index plunged nearly 9% triggering a 20-minute trading halt, Japan’s Nikkei 225 dropped ~4.5%, and Taiwan’s Taiex fell sharply alongside major tech firms like Samsung, SK Hynix, and TSMC. This follows a 4% drop in the US Nasdaq on Friday, driven by concerns over overvalued AI investments, potential US interest rate hikes, and renewed Iran-Israel attacks that pushed Brent crude up 4.6% to $97.34 a barrel, fuelling inflation fears and global market volatility.
