Japanese and Korean stock markets fell in early trading Xinhua News Agency, Tokyo/Seoul, November 6 (Reporters Li Shimeng and Zhang Kan) Influenced by the sharp drop in technology stocks in the US stock market overnight, Japanese and Korean stock markets fell sharply in early trading on the 6th. The two major stock indexes on the Tokyo Stock Exchange were both down more than 5%; The collapse of the Korea Composite Price Index (KOSPI) triggered the circuit breaker mechanism. On that day, the artificial intelligence and semiconductor sectors of the Tokyo stock market were generally under pressure. Softbank Group, Advantest and other stocks fell sharply, dragging the Nikkei 225 average price index below 57,000 points for the first time since April 13. Over 90% of stocks on the main board of the Tokyo Stock Exchange fell. As of this morning's close, the Nikkei stock index fell by 3219.29 points, or 5.27%; The Tokyo Stock Exchange price index fell by 213.89 points, or 5.43%. Analysts said that as US tech stocks entered a correction, investors trimmed their holdings and turned to risk aversion. The Nikkei stock index is in free fall, with no clear signal to stop the decline. That day, the KOSPI plunged 8% after the Korean stock market opened, triggering the circuit breaker mechanism. This is the 11th time this year that South Korea's stock market has activated the circuit breaker mechanism. After trading was halted for 20 minutes, the market returned to trading after a 10-minute auction, and then applied "temporary suspension" measures one after another, showing rare violent swings. When the circuit breaker mechanism was activated, KOSPI fell below 5,000 points and reported 4924.61 points, down 459.19 points or 8.52% from the previous trading day. Affected by the plunge in the US stock market, the share prices of Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, South Korea's leading semiconductor companies, fell sharply after the open, with intraday losses of more than 9%.
