Hello, this is Anniek Bao writing to you from Singapore.
Markets open and close every day. Today, the Daily Open will close for the final time.
Markets are digesting the tech rout on Wall Street with the Nasdaq Composite index falling 2.6% for its worst day since early July on renewed doubts over AI spending.
In Seoul, SK Hynix shares rebounded 2.6% after the company scrapped plans for a U.S. listing of its Solidigm unit, recovering from an early dip below 1.2 million won ($905). Regulators had said the plan ran afoul of dual-listing rules, and SK Hynix cited market conditions while saying it will keep exploring financing for a new U.S. fab.
Elon Musk's empire was also in focus. President Donald Trump called Musk and asked him to lift restrictions that had slowed Ukraine's use of Starlink and hampered its drone operations, the Wall Street Journal reported. Trump said access has been restored, though Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said speeds aren't fully back.
