Nasdaq's decline widened to 2%.

Refinitiv two-week survey of 10 participants showed investors cut short positions in the Korean won to a five-month low, while short bets on the Thai baht and New Taiwan dollar rose to multi-month highs. Confidence in the won has been supported by the launch of 24-hour onshore USD/KRW spot trading, strong AI chip export-driven recovery and a tighter monetary policy stance. Jeff Ng, head of Asian macro strategy at Sumitomo Mitsui, said the FX market opening and Korea’s robust trade performance could draw inflows.
