Asian shares sink , with Tokyo down more than 5 % as slumping AI stocks drag world markets lower
What it means
A sharp AI-driven selloff in Tokyo has historically been associated with same-session weakness in global semiconductor and tech indices, particularly Nasdaq-listed AI names. Risk-off flows in these episodes tend to benefit safe-haven assets like Treasuries and gold in the short term. The magnitude of the move — Tokyo down more than 5% — suggests this is a significant repricing rather than routine volatility. (Lower-conviction channels were filtered out by our selectivity bar.)
