Asian markets fell sharply on June 8 as a tech-led selloff ended Wall Street's nine-week rally, with South Korea's KOSPI dropping over 8%, triggering a trading halt. The decline followed strong US jobs data that raised expectations for prolonged Federal Reserve rate hikes, dampening enthusiasm for AI-driven stocks. Japanese shares also declined amid concerns over inflation and geopolitical tensions after Israeli strikes on Beirut pushed oil and the dollar higher. Investors await key events including the SpaceX IPO and US inflation data.
