MERCADOS: Frenazo en Asia por Trump, la IA castiga a Wall Street y el margen de Tesla colapsa

MARKETS: Asian markets slow down due to Trump, AI punishes Wall Street, and Tesla's margin collapses Asian markets are turning red, driven by fears of a new wave of trade protectionism stirred up by Donald Trump, triggering a severe profit-taking led by South Korea's Kospi, which has fallen by more than 3%. The selling pressure is hitting the semiconductor sector particularly hard—with plunges in giants like Samsung and SK Hynix—while Chinese equities are feeling the added pressure of the imminent IPO of memory manufacturer CXMT, a mega-capital-raising operation that threatens to dry up liquidity in the local market. Geopolitical tensions in the Persian Gulf and rising oil prices have reignited inflationary concerns in New York, forcing a negative close where the Nasdaq fell 2.15%, driven by distrust in Big Tech. In a single session, these tech giants wiped out more than $767 billion in market value amid investor skepticism about the real return on their massive investments in artificial intelligence; a widespread sell-off from which only Intel managed to escape thanks to record quarterly revenue growth. Elon Musk's company suffered its worst stock market blow since March, with a 14% plunge that wiped out $140 billion in market capitalization. Market distrust has skyrocketed after it became clear how the aggressive push into robotics and AI has driven up operating costs by 47%, squeezing the company's profit margin from 4.1% to a worrying 1.4%. These results have set off alarm bells on Wall Street regarding the sustainability of the electric vehicle business amidst an increasingly cutthroat price war. #markets #asia #trump #ais #wallstreet #tesla #collapse #stockmarket #tradewar #tariffs #elonmusk #economy #intereconomia 📻 You can listen to Radio Intereconomía live on our website: ►https://intereconomia.com/radio/ 🎧 Also on Ivoox ► https://www.ivoox.com/escuchar-online... 🖱 Follow the conversation on social media: 🎞Facebook ►   / radiointerec.  . ✍Twitter ►   / rintereconomia
