Markets are flashing red across every asset class. In a matter of hours, more than $3 trillion in value has evaporated, and the damage is not confined to one corner of the market — equities, crypto, gold and silver are all falling together. The synchronised drop is what has investors rattled, because it points to forced selling and liquidity stress rather than a single bad headline.
Here's where things stand:
- $Bitcoin: −3.52%
- Gold: −2.24%
- Silver: −4.78%
- KOSPI: −10.68%
- Nikkei: −4.85%
- Hang Seng: −3%
- US futures: −1%
South Korea took the hardest hit. The losses were severe enough to trigger a 20-minute trading halt on the Kospi, the fourth such suspension this year, leaving the index down 10% on the day. South Korean chip giants SK Hynix and Samsung tumbled more than 12% each to drag the Kospi index down by 10%, after Monday finished at a record high.
