Asian markets mixed as Wall Street AI sell‑off spreads and oil prices dip

Asian equity markets opened with divergent moves. The divergence followed a renewed sell‑off of artificial‑intelligence‑related stocks on Wall Street. Investors reacted to pressure on AI shares that had been a focus of recent volatility. At the same time, crude oil prices slipped, providing some relief to commodity‑sensitive markets. The mixed performance saw some Asian indices rise while others fell. Analysts noted that the AI sell‑off could weigh on technology‑heavy portfolios. The easing of oil prices may support inflation‑concerned economies in the region. Market participants will watch upcoming earnings and policy cues for further direction.
