Global Markets:
Asia market declined on Friday, mirroring Wall Street’s losses as renewed concerns over stretched valuations in artificial intelligence (AI) stocks weighed on sentiment.
Investors across the region are now awaiting China’s October trade data, expected later in the day. Media reports indicate that exports may have grown just 3% year-on-year, slowing sharply from 8.3% in September, while imports are forecast to fall 3.2% after rising 7.4% previously.
The slowdown reflects weak domestic demand, prolonged pressure from the property downturn, rising job insecurity, and the fading impact of earlier consumption stimulus.
On Wall Street, AI-linked stocks extended their recent declines, dragging major indices lower. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 398.70 points (0.84%) to 46,912.30, while the S&P 500 dropped 1.12% to 6,720.32.
The Nasdaq Composite tumbled 1.9% to 23,053.99, with the Nasdaq 100 down more than 2% for the week — its steepest decline since early April.
Adding to investor unease, October layoffs surged to 153,000, nearly triple September’s figure and 175% higher year-on-year, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
The spike in job cuts, combined with the ongoing U.S. government shutdown, now over a month old, has further clouded the outlook for the U.S. economy.
