Asia’s AI stock frenzy tests retail dreams and market nerves
TL;DR Summary
An AI boom has driven Asia’s stock markets—especially Taiwan and South Korea—to record highs as data-center demand and chipmakers like TSMC, Samsung, and SK Hynix surge. Thousands of first-time investors have piled into tech stocks, with new trading accounts and rising leverage boosting profits but also amplifying risk as losses mount when prices swing. The frenzy has global spillover and spurred regulators to consider tighter controls on leveraged ETFs and other speculative tools, while personal stories of fortune and ruin illustrate the volatility of chasing AI-driven gains.
