AI Market Summary
Asian equities weakened as Japan's Nikkei fell 0.7% with AI-linked names pressured ahead of Nvidia earnings, while rising yields and inflation concerns revived expectations for a Bank of Japan hike. Risk-off broadened: Korea's KOSPI dropped 3.1% on Samsung's sharp fall, and Alibaba slid on a large share placement. Near-term positioning is likely to stay cautious into key tech and central-bank catalysts.
