Taiwan is flashing a similar strain, as foreigners dumped USD 6.3 bn of equities in just the first three days of the week, putting the market on track for one of its largest weekly outflows on record.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The problem for Asia: <\/strong>Asia imports the shock more directly than most, with Japan and South Korea especially exposed to Hormuz-linked shipments. China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan are all heavily import-dependent, making this oil spike \u201cexponentially more corrosive\u201d for Asia than for the West, Vantage\u2019s Hebe Chen said. Goldman Sachs estimates a 20% jump in Brent would shave as much as 2% off regional earnings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The AI trade is now part of the unwind. <\/strong>Investors are trimming last year\u2019s hardware outperformers \u2014 especially South Korea and Taiwan \u2014 as higher energy costs collide with rich multiples and make capital-heavy tech stories harder to defend.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Credit is flashing the same warning: <\/strong>A Julius Baer note seen by EnterpriseAM says Asian CDS spreads are widening across oil-importing economies, with India up 6.6 bps in a week and higher-risk Southeast Asian names moving 4-6 bps, as markets begin pricing a steeper regional risk premium if the war drags on.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Truth is, some of that fatigue predated the geopolitical jitters. <\/strong>Foreign investors sold Asian equities for a fourth straight month in February, <a target=\"_blank\"

Korea alone posting record outflows of USD 13.7 bn, as AI valuation nerves had already started spilling far beyond Wall Street.<\/p>\n<p
