Broadcom Miss at $22.19 Billion Deepens Asia Tech Selloff as Kospi Eyes 3% Weekly Loss

3 articles · Updated · Reuters · Jun 5

Summary

  • Broadcom’s 12.6% share drop after reporting $22.19 billion in quarterly revenue, just below the $22.27 billion expected, extended Friday’s tech retreat across Asia.
  • South Korea’s KOSPI moved toward a 3% weekly loss—its seventh of 2026—as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix fell sharply in a market still heavily exposed to chip and AI sentiment.
  • The won slid to its weakest level since 2009 under pressure from foreign selling, reinforcing signs that investors are pulling back from one of Asia’s biggest AI-linked trades.
  • Brent held near $95 a barrel and the dollar index stayed on track for a weekly gain ahead of U.S. payrolls, with markets also watching U.S.-Iran talks for the next risk signal.
