Financial markets worldwide are experiencing severe turbulence today as a global tech stocks meltdown accelerates across major indices.

Benchmark indices like South Korea’s KOSPI plunged 5.6%, while tech favorites including Nvidia, Broadcom, and AI cloud provider CoreWeave suffered heavy single-day liquidations. Analysts note that the prospect of prolonged Federal Reserve monetary tightening is severely threatening capital-heavy data center investments.
