News category : Market Structure and Financial Stability Events

On December 16, 2025 several Asian markets closed lower, weighed down by weakness in technology sector equities and broader risk aversion as investors positioned ahead of key U.S. economic releases and central bank meetings later in the week. Reports highlighted that the tech-led selloff contributed to weaker performance across major markets such as Japan and Hong Kong, while currency pairs like USD/JPY showed volatility as traders factored potential Bank of Japan policy shifts. The regional selloff reflects a root market structure shift in sentiment that then influences positioning in global equity and FX markets. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
