Asian Shares Mixed as AI-Led Selloff Deepens in Seoul

Oil prices rose and Asian shares were mixed on Thursday, with South Korea's Kospi extending its selloff, falling 1.2% to 5,593.56 after a 16% plunge over two days. The drop was led by AI-related stocks such as SK Hynix, which fell 5.6% despite a record quarterly profit. Crude oil remained volatile after the U.S. conducted strikes against Iran.
