Asia-Pacific Stocks Decline Following U.S. Market Dip

Asia-Pacific stock markets fell on Wednesday, following Wall Street's stalled post-election rally. Japan's Nikkei 225 and Topix, South Korea's Kospi and Kosdaq, and Australia's S&P/ASX 200 all saw declines. Investors are concerned about the implications of Donald Trump's re-election on Chinese equities and U.S. chip policy, affecting companies like Samsung Electronics, which hit a four-year low. Meanwhile, the U.S. markets also experienced a downturn, with the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all closing lower.
