This week on Market Focus Weekly, tech stocks sold off on both Wall Street and in Asia. Could this be the start of a bubble?  Host Emily Liu speaks with Aninda Mitra, head of Asia macro and investment strategy at BNY Investment Institute, on what’s behind the tech pullback, whether the Fed will really cut rates next month, and how Washington’s interventions could reshape the industry.  They also explore China’s record-breaking stock rally amid stimulus hopes and capacity concerns, plus India’s latest tax cuts as US tariff tensions escalate.
