Tech Tumble: Asia's Market Wobbles Amid Global Uncertainty

Investors in Asia woke up to a sea of red on Friday, as tech stocks took another hit, dragging down the entire market. The drop followed a rough night on Wall Street, where tech shares led the decline. The U. S. jobs report didn't help, leaving everyone guessing about future interest rates. Bitcoin and gold also felt the heat, as investors grew more cautious. The sell-off in tech and AI stocks spread from the U. S. to Asia, making markets jittery. Japan's economy showed some signs of improvement, but inflation remained a concern. The country's trade deficit shrank, and manufacturing and services picked up a bit. However, these small wins didn't stop the market's downward spiral. The big question on everyone's mind is what the U. S. Federal Reserve will do next with interest rates. Until there's clarity, investors are likely to stay on edge. The tech sell-off and AI valuation fears have made the market a risky place to be.
