Britain\u2019s FTSE 100 shed 0.4 per cent to 10,490.62. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The future for the S&#038;P 500 lost 0.2 per cent while that for the Dow Jones Industrial Average edged 0.2 per cent higher. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">In Asia, Tokyo\u2019s Nikkei 225 index shed 4.2 per cent to 69,360.88 and the Kospi in Seoul plunged 5.8 per cent to 8,411.21. Both recovered some ground lost earlier in the day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Hong Kong\u2019s Hang Seng lost 1.8 per cent to 22,667.13, while the Shanghai Composite index slipped 2.3 per cent to 4,027.26.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">In Australia, the S&#038;P\/ASX 200 was an outlier, gaining 0.2 per cent to 8,764.20. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Taiwan\u2019s Taiex gave up 3.6 per cent. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The wide swings in Tokyo and Seoul are typical of recent volatility in markets as investors react to the deluge of dollars heading into AI data centers and other investments. Shares in Japan and South Korea hit records this week and logged strong gains on Thursday after chipmakers Qualcomm and Micron Technology reported better than expected earnings. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">In South Korea, market trends have been dominated by movements in stock in Samsung Electronics, the country\u2019s biggest company, and chipmaker SK Hynix, which like Samsung is collaborating with Nvidia on artificial intelligence. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Given that concentration, \u201ca strong Micron print can produce a powerful upside chase one day; a new concern around memory costs, capex, or the durability of AI demand can reverse it violently the next,\u201d Stephen Innes of SPI Asset Management said in a commentary. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Samsung\u2019s shares lost 5.3 per cent on Friday, while those of SK Hynix fell 8.4 per cent. In Tokyo trading, technology giant SoftBank Group Corp. lost 12.5 per cent and computer chip testing equipment maker Advantest sank 3.2 per&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bnnbloomberg.ca\/markets\/2026\/06\/26\/world-shares-skid-as-traders-sell-to-lock-in-profits-after-recent-rallies-driven-by-ai\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stock market today: World shares retreat amid AI-gain sales https:\/\/www.bnnbloomberg.ca\/markets\/2026\/06\/26\/world-shares-skid-as-traders-sell-to-lock-in-profits-after-recent-rallies-driven-by-ai\/ Publish Date: 2026-06-26 06:13:00 Source&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":282296,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.bnnbloomberg.ca\/resizer\/v2\/3W3QJ7GJET5EMQOSSWLXU6VZXE.jpg?smart=true&auth=ebef02bdb7fa490cecffb5612ff3d012251a6e0c177b9ecee1308d59db7a74c6&width=1200&height=630","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-282294","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282294"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=282294"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282294\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":282298,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282294\/revisions\/282298"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/282296"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=282294"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=282294"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=282294"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
