10:08:38On March 3, local time, marking one month since the US military strikes against Venezuela and its seizure of President Maduro and his wife, Venezuelan Acting President Rodriguez delivered a speech, stating that the Venezuelan people have demonstrated a high degree of maturity and rationality, consolidating the country's stability and peace. She also confirmed that she had recently spoken by phone with US President Trump and US Secretary of State Rubio. Rodriguez pointed out that in the face of external forces attempting to create chaos domestically, the Venezuelan people have "quickly recovered and taken important steps in promoting national dialogue and unity." Rodriguez emphasized that any disputes or differences should be resolved strictly through dialogue and with respect for the principles of international law. She stated that it is this consensus that unites the Venezuelan people—that differences with the US government must be addressed through political and diplomatic dialogue. She indicated that, as part of the process of resolving differences, she had recently spoken by phone with US President Trump and US Secretary of State Rubio. (CCTV News)
10:08:14On Wednesday, the South Korean KOSPI rose 0.8% to around 5330 points, extending its gains near record highs. Continued bargain hunting and sector rotation supported market sentiment. Following Tuesday's sharp sell-off, investors selectively increased their holdings, and continued buying after the index closed at a record high boosted market confidence. Strong performance in the automotive, battery, and industrial sectors drove the gains, offsetting weakness in semiconductor and internet stocks, after concerns remained that artificial intelligence-related factors could put pressure on global technology stocks. Hyundai Motor (up 2.8%), LG Energy Solutions (up 2.3%), SK Square (up 2.9%), and Doosan Energy (up 4.3%) all rose, while Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix both fell by more than 1%. The relatively balanced sector performance suggests that market rotation is underway rather than widespread risk aversion, allowing the index to hold above 5300 points. Following significant institutional and foreign buying in the previous trading day, investors continued to focus on the upward momentum in the domestic market.
10:07:36Asian software stocks fell as investors worried about the disruptive impact of widespread artificial intelligence on business models. In Sydney trading, cloud-based accounting software maker Xero plunged as much as 15%, its biggest drop since March 2020. Japanese systems integrators Nomura Research Institute and Obic each fell more than 6%. The decline in the region's stocks came after U.S. peers fell overnight following the launch of a new AI tool by Anthropic that helps automate some legal functions. American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) of Indian IT companies Infosys and Wipro each fell more than 4%. "This is particularly worrying for software companies because AI has the potential to completely replace traditional, workflow-sticky software-as-a-service products, potentially destroying their business models," said Andrew Jackson, an analyst at Ortus Advisors.
09:19:36Gold prices rebounded above the key $5,000 per ounce level on Wednesday, extending gains of over 6% from the previous trading day and marking the largest single-day increase since 2008. This followed a sharp pullback earlier in the week, prompting bargain hunters to enter the market. Geopolitical tensions, including the downing of an Iranian drone by U.S. forces near an aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea, also boosted gold's safe-haven appeal. Despite this, President Trump stated that diplomatic efforts were ongoing, and the White House confirmed that U.S.-Iran talks were still scheduled for Friday. Meanwhile, market expectations for rapid interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve eased somewhat after Trump nominated Kevin Warsh as Federal Reserve Chairman, but the market still anticipates two rate cuts this year, possibly in the middle of the year and later in 2026. Furthermore, due to the partial government shutdown, key U.S. labor market data, including the JOLTS (Job and Labor Force Mobility Survey) and the monthly employment report, will be delayed. House Republicans will vote on the Senate-approved appropriations bill on Tuesday.
09:18:50On Wednesday, the Nikkei 225 fell 1.2% to below 54,100 points; the Topix index fell 0.7% to 3,620 points, erasing the gains of the previous trading day. Market sentiment was pressured by a sell-off in Wall Street tech stocks. Investor sentiment was influenced by rotation among artificial intelligence-related stocks, with funds flowing into more cyclical sectors due to market concerns about excessive capital expenditure. Additionally, Anthropic's newly launched AI automation tools also weighed on software stocks, leading to a general decline in legal and data services stocks. Domestically, investors remained cautious about the upcoming snap election for the House of Representatives this weekend, expecting the ruling Liberal Democratic Party to gain more seats under Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and push forward with expansionary fiscal policies. In individual stocks, Advantest fell 1.1%, Nintendo plummeted 8.7%, Lasertec fell 7.3%, Disco Corp fell 1%, and SoftBank Group fell 3%.
09:17:49On Wednesday, WTI crude oil futures climbed to around $64 a barrel, extending gains from the previous session. This followed the downing of an Iranian drone by the United States in the Arabian Sea, reigniting geopolitical tensions. Despite President Trump's assurances that diplomatic channels remained open and the White House confirming that US-Iran talks would proceed as scheduled on Friday, the incident still unsettled the energy market. Adding to the turmoil, Iranian vessels provoked a US-flagged oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz, with the US Central Command stating that the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps harassed the Stena Imperative. Data from the American Petroleum Institute (API) showed that US crude oil inventories fell by 11.1 million barrels last week, which, if confirmed by official data, would be the largest drop since June, providing further support for oil prices. Meanwhile, OPEC+ expects oil demand to gradually recover starting in March or April and will decide on March 1 whether to resume monthly production increases after pausing first-quarter increases.
09:17:02In early February, Bitcoin prices plummeted to a low of $72,800, the lowest level since November 2024, due to escalating forced liquidations of leveraged positions and accelerated capital outflows. Industry data shows that nearly 170,000 leveraged traders were forced to liquidate during the sell-off, with over $730 million liquidated in the past 24 hours. Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan stated that Bitcoin has already experienced a bear market for several months, and he believes that the widespread acceptance by institutional investors and increasing regulatory clarity have made investors overconfident. Meanwhile, global crypto funds recorded a net outflow of $1.7 billion last week, with US-listed products being the most prominent. Since peaking in October 2025, crypto funds' assets under management have shrunk by $73 billion. Furthermore, investor Michael Burry warned that Bitcoin's nearly 40% plunge could exacerbate and damage companies that have held large amounts of Bitcoin over the past year.
09:16:53U.S. stock index futures stabilized on Wednesday after tech stocks dragged major indexes lower in the previous session, as investors assessed the latest batch of earnings reports. In after-hours trading, AMD shares fell more than 8% after the company released weaker-than-expected first-quarter earnings guidance; Chipotle shares fell about 6% after its customer traffic declined for the fourth consecutive quarter. In contrast, Match Group shares rose 7% after both earnings and revenue beat expectations. During Tuesday's regular trading session, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.34%, the S&P 500 fell 0.84%, and the Nasdaq Composite fell 1.43%, as investors sold off overvalued tech stocks and bought more cyclical ones. The sell-off was concentrated in artificial intelligence and semiconductor stocks, with Nvidia (-2.8%), Microsoft (-2.9%), Micron Technology (-4.2%), Broadcom (-3.3%), and Oracle (-3.4%) experiencing particularly significant declines. Attention now turns to Alphabet's earnings report on Wednesday, followed by Amazon's on Thursday.
09:16:44British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and US President Donald Trump spoke by phone on Tuesday to discuss the joint Anglo-American military base on Diego Garcia. This issue is controversial between the two countries, after Trump changed his stance and withdrew his support for a plan to return sovereignty of the island to Mauritius. The British side stated in the minutes of the call that the two leaders acknowledged the strategic importance of the base and agreed that the two governments would continue to work closely to ensure its future operation and would communicate again as soon as possible. Anglo-American relations suffered a blow last month when Trump abruptly criticized the plan to transfer the island, located about 2,000 miles off the coast of East Africa, to Mauritius, a proposal he had previously supported. Under the original agreement, Britain agreed to transfer control of the Chagos Islands, which belong to Diego Garcia, to Mauritius and maintain the base's operation by paying annual fees. Trump denounced the plan last month as a "complete sign of weakness" and "utterly foolish."
