What happened
Nasdaq sank sharply following threats of expanded military strikes against Iran. This global sell-off saw the Kospi and Taipex sink up to 6%. Earlier, the Nasdaq collapsed 5.5% after Donald Trump unveiled wide-ranging global tariffs, causing losses in Tokyo and Seoul.
Why it matters
Worries about potential conflict with Iran are contributing to the global sell-off. Separately, US jobs data, which showed the unemployment rate at 4.1 per cent, increased expectations that the FED might raise interest rates.
