Asian share markets fell sharply on Friday, November 6, after US technology shares dropped overnight, Bloomberg reports. France 24 and BBC report that Seoul and Tokyo led the losses and that investors feared tighter rules on AI and data centres after Democrats won the midterm elections. BBC reports that SpaceX shares plunged and that the Nasdaq Composite fell more than 5% at one point in early trading on Thursday. France 24 also reports that many midterm winners pledged to curb data centre development.
