Asian markets mixed as AI-related stocks recover from selloff
Asian markets were mixed on Wednesday as AI-related stocks found respite after a selloff, but gains were tempered by elevated oil prices.
Among firms on the Asian side of the AI supply chain, chipmakers Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix rose more than 2 percent in South Korea while Kioxia was steady in Japan, recovering some of the previous session’s loss.
MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was up 0.5 percent after US stocks ended the previous session with a mild loss.
In Tokyo, the Nikkei rose 0.6 percent to 68,193 by the midday break, while the Kospi in Seoul was also up.
