Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.

A selloff in equities spread to Asia after chip stocks tumbled on Wall Street, as hotter-than-expected US inflation fueled bets on more aggressive Federal Reserve rate hikes. Treasuries rallied.
MSCI Inc.'s Asia Pacific equities gauge dropped 1.5%, heading for a fourth straight decline, led by losses in South Korea, a bellwether for artificial intelligence investment. The Kospi Index slumped as much as 6.5% to its lowest since late July, with chip heavyweights Samsung Electronics Co. and SK Hynix Inc. tumbling at least 7%. Tech sentiment remained weak, with Nasdaq 100 Index futures falling as much as 1%. Earlier, the Russell 2000 entered a correction and a closely watched gauge of US semiconductor stocks had its longest losing streak since May 2025. CoreWeave Inc. shares plunged as much as 17%. Its debt due in 2032, which investors bought at par four months ago, traded at less than 78 cents on the dollar. Bloomberg's Paul Allen and Haidi Stroud-Watts spoke to  Goldman Sachs Chief APAC Regional Equity Strategist Timothy Moe.

Plus - US consumer prices advanced in September at the fastest pace in five months and a gauge of underlying price pressures rose by more than expected, keeping the squeeze on household budgets ahead of November's midterm elections. The hot inflation data lit up expectations that the Federal Reserve may raise interest rates this month, a prospect that appeared unlikely after policymakers in recent weeks signaled they had time to wait. Bloomberg's Haidi Stroud-Watts and Paul Allen spoke to  Robertson Stephens Chief Economist Jeanette Garretty.

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.

Asian stocks rebounded from two days of losses on expectations the Federal Reserve may not need to raise interest rates aggressively next year. The shift in sentiment for stocks came after New York Fed President John Williams said he saw no need for further tightening in 2027, while continuing to view one more rate hike as appropriate this year. Meantime, earnings season is underway in the US, kicked off by big banks. Bloomberg TV hosts Paul Allen and Haidi Stroud-Watts spoke to Dilin Wu, Research Strategist at Pepperstone.

The Bloomberg New Economy Forum makes its debut in India, convening global public and private sector leaders in New Delhi. Bloomberg's Yvonne Man speaks to Former Australian Prime Minister/Asia Society Global President & CEO Kevin Rudd.
