U.S. stock futures slip, South Korea's Kospi plunges over 8%
U.S. stock futures fell in early trading, reflecting investor caution ahead of a week marked by key earnings from major firms like Amazon and Microsoft, alongside a Federal Reserve rate decision. The anticipation of these events comes on the back of a mixed trading day, where the Dow posted gains while the Nasdaq was weighed down by semiconductor sectors. Meanwhile, South Korea's Kospi registered a significant decline of approximately 6% as regional markets reacted to global economic pressures and uncertainty.
