Asian markets dip as Wall Street tech sell‑off drags shares lower; oil prices rise

Asian equity markets opened lower after a technology sell‑off on Wall Street. The decline in U.S. tech stocks weighed on regional indices. Major Asian benchmarks recorded modest losses in the morning session. Meanwhile, oil prices edged higher amid the market moves. The rise in oil came despite the broader equity weakness. Traders cited concerns over tech valuations as a driver of the sell‑off. No major corporate news was cited as influencing the Asian markets. Investors will monitor further developments in both the tech sector and commodity prices.
