Global equity markets are experiencing a significant downturn, confirmed by historic declines in the Nikkei 225 and multi-year lows for the MOEX Index. This volatility is primarily driven by a broad tech sector sell-off, particularly in semiconductors, and exacerbated by escalating US-Iran geopolitical tensions and tightening monetary conditions. The extent of systemic contagion beyond the tech sector and the duration of this correction remain uncertain.
