Nikkei 225 Opens Down 0.14%, Kospi Falls 1.1%
AI take
The divergence in magnitude is the notable detail: a modest Nikkei dip against a far steeper Kospi opening suggests the pressure is concentrated in Korea rather than being a broad regional risk-off move. That distinction matters for anyone tracking whether Asian equities are responding to a shared macro driver or to Korea-specific factors. Whether the Kospi's weaker start narrows toward the Nikkei's shallower decline, or widens further, is the open question for the session.
