00:23The index opened at 5,034.20, slid to 4,990.66, then climbed to 5,172.94 before fading
00:36again.

01:13AltioGen dropped 16.01 percent, to 168,401, after concerns over the profitability of its subcutaneous shift, which weighed on

01:52The Nikkei rose 2.33 percent, and Taiwan's index jumped 4.94 percent.

02:07Here's what that actually means for you.
02:09The sell-off has been sharp, and analysts are now watching whether the recent drop can be recovered.
02:15This week's U.S. CPI and PPI releases, along with CoreWeave and Applied Materials earnings, are the next catalysts.
02:22Keep an eye on foreign flows and chip sector leadership.
02:25That's where the next move will come from.
