South Korean investors are defying the losses in Asian markets caused by the US's policies against China by pouring millions of dollars into Hong Kong's stock market. In February, they purchased a net total of $189 million in Hong Kong equities, and this buying spree has continued into March. This marks a turnaround in sentiment after South Korean investors were net sellers previously. In contrast, US stock market investors saw significant losses, with over $1.1 trillion wiped away in 24 hours. The sell-off in US markets has affected Asian markets, with stock indexes across the region falling. Technology stocks, such as Sony, Hitachi, SoftBank, and Samsung Electronics, led the declines. Overall, market sentiment has been shaken by the US's trade standoff, tariff policies, and fears of a recession.
