An AI selloff on Wall Street spills into Asian markets
Asian shares fell sharply after a steep drop in AI-linked stocks in the United States, a sign that investor concern about the sector is becoming a global issue rather than an American one.

Step 2
Pressure on tech

Step 3
Asian open
Regional markets fall sharply when trading begins.
