Taiwan stocks in steepest-ever fall, South Korea halts trading amid AI rout
Taiwan stocks suffered their steepest-ever fall on November 6, with the Taiex down around 9% in morning trading, while South Korea halted trading as the AI-driven selloff spread across Asian markets. The slide was accelerated by worries over curbs on data center construction. It matters because a record drop in Taiwan and a trading halt in Korea show the AI trade reversing across the whole region at once, turning what looked like a single-market slide into a broad repricing of AI-linked stocks.
