Investors in Asia are facing losses as stock markets prepare to open lower. This follows a selloff on Wall Street, with tech stocks leading the decline.

The Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) saw a sharp fall, prompting the Korea Exchange (KRX) to activate a sell-side sidecar mechanism. Oil prices, however, have jumped amid the market turmoil.

The question remains whether this trend will continue or if markets will stabilize.
