In financial news, Asian markets have taken a step back after a recent rebound. The Kospi, South Korea's market index, experienced a significant decline, losing nearly 8% of its value. This downturn occurred despite a boost from AI stocks that positively impacted Wall Street.

The decline in the Kospi was largely driven by major tech companies, with both Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix seeing their shares drop by 8.7%. Oil prices, on the other hand, saw an increase. US futures were mixed, indicating uncertainty in the market.
