Asian markets: Fears of US recession trigger panic selloff among investors

Asian markets have started the week with a brutal selloff, triggering circuit breakers in Japan and South Korea for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic. Markets were spooked by fears of a recession in the US, sending stocks plunging across the region, as well as in Europe. Equities in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan were among the hardest hit. Japan’s markets slumped the most in Asia.

    A global panic selloff. Temasek and GIC did not hedge their investments. PAP is risking Singapore's reserves. In the end, Singaporeans suffer.
    It is time for Singaporeans to reconsider even having national reserves. Is it better for Singaporeans to do their own individually personalized investment or a nationalized one size fit all portfolio?

    Wasn't this caused by Japan raising interest rates for the first time in over a decade? Causing a massive sell off tanking all the markets around the world? Confused by the subject line of this video?

    Since the 2021 market wipe off, I've been keeping Cash, Gold and property.
    Ever since I lost my portfolio, I learnt not to hold US Stocks anymore.
    Today, I have cash and I am going to grab some cheap stocks on the fly.
    Its a pump and dump game guys

    Why would one can think that printing money freely and irresponsibly, use US dollar as a weapon where everyone has started to forego US dollar plus sky-high debt have no consequences? This bubble busting is in the works for many years already and yet the people here are burying their heads in the sand for ages.

    Investing without insider information is like exploring a dungeon in Diablo without a map. Dont expect others to make money for you

    Why should we in Asia always be a victim of US monetary and fiscal policies? Nikkei and DJI are a bubble, grossly over-valued. Not so most of the companies in our region. That's why we should diversify from the US led financial order because it is unstable. The BRICS led financial order will be more stable in the future because the US led financial order is too speculative. All those derivatives, ETFs and future trading are nothing short of a casino….. So much of leverage trading…They don't add value to the economy…When the US market went up into heaven we in Asia don't follow. But when it came down to hell, we all join in…How stupid!

    This is caused by the carry trade of some investors and/or traders who borrowed yen to buy other USD, SGD, EUR etc financial products and now had to derisk or face total rout of their portfolio as the yen strengthen. Watch Adam Khoo's video and you will know what is happening.

    Start early with diversified investments in Bitcoin,stocks, bonds, and real estate. Maximize contributions to tax-advantaged accounts like 401(k)s and IRAs. Regularly review and adjust your strategy to ensure security
