Global Markets Decline as US Inflation Raises Interest Rate Concerns, Tech Stocks Fall
Global stock markets experienced declines following hotter-than-expected US inflation data, which raised concerns about potential Federal Reserve interest rate hikes. Asian markets, including South Korea's KOSPI and Japan's Nikkei, saw significant drops, particularly in semiconductor and AI-related stocks. US futures also fell, with technology sectors under pressure amid worries over sustained inflation and tighter monetary policy. While energy and consumer staples showed some gains, overall market sentiment remained cautious amid mixed inflation reports and ongoing uncertainty.
