Hang Seng index: recovered from steep intraday losses on 13 Oct 2026 and extended gains for a third day (per the headline). Tech sell-off hit KOSPI (down as much as 7.4%), Nikkei 225 (about 2.5%) and Taiex (about 2.5%). The official closing level was not verified.<\/em><\/p>\n

Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Hang Seng index recovered from steep intraday losses on Tuesday 13 October 2026 and extended gains for a third day, while markets in South Korea, Japan and Taiwan fell in a tech sell-off. Early reports had the Hang Seng index and the Shanghai Composite down about 1%, so the recovery was a sharp turnaround. Investors weighed competition from Chinese chipmakers and growing concern about AI valuations after reports of progress at ChangXin Memory Technologies. I could not verify the official Hang Seng close, so check the exchange for the final level.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The Hang Seng index ended a volatile Asian session on a better note than its neighbours. Hong Kong and mainland Chinese indexes pared steep early losses, while South Korea, Japan and Taiwan stayed lower as technology shares were sold.<\/p>\n

This article explains what hit Asian markets, why the Hang Seng index held up better, which levels matter next and what could move it from here. Where a number could not be verified, I say so.<\/p>\n

The key point for readers is that Hong Kong and the tech-heavy markets of North Asia reacted to the same news in different ways. Korea and Taiwan are deeply tied to chip makers, so a threat to chip pricing hit them harder.<\/p>\n
